“I especially remember our conversation on the day of the last elections, when I felt ashamed about [Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s call that] ‘the Arabs are flocking to the polls,’” Granat continued.He mentioned several of the Arabs with which he works by name and how much he appreciates and enjoys them, and considers them friends. He re-posted Sela’s words and shared pictures of himself with his Arab colleagues.
“I am proud and happy in these pictures and in the beautiful and sane reality of the hospital they reflect,” Granat wrote, inviting his post’s readers to join him by posting their own photos of Jews and Arabs co-existing in Israel. “Together we will raise the voice of brotherhood, partnership and friendship in the hope of creating a change of reality.”Since it was published, Granat’s post has gone viral, with close to 10,000 views and almost as many shares. Thousands of Jews and Arabs have started posting their own photos, too, each with the hashtag #equals.Arabs are humans, too: A Jerusalem doctor's reaction goes viral
“Fortunately, I work in a hospital where I am able to make new friends, dear to my heart, from the Arab public.”
