"גם אני ישראלי אמיתי"

While walking on one of the streets in Nazareth, I came across a car that had a sticker on it which stated: "גם אני ישראלי אמיתי"- "I too am a real Israeli".


Besides the interest I found in this specifically because the car was in Nazareth (whether it was owned by a Jewish or Arab Israeli, I do not know, although I could probably make a wild guess), I once again, as in other written and spoken references I have alluded to in my entries here, found it interesting, for I saw it as testament to the strong Israeli pride that can be found among some Israelis, manifesting itself the most in times when Israel as a state and Israeli citizens as individuals may feel threatened by international narratives and perceptions.
Comments and thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

Shabbat Shalom.
