Ok, Say I asked, and he said he was from Palestine. So? Ask a Quebec speratist where they are from - do they say 'Quebec', or 'Canada', or 'Occupied Quebec'? No difference if he said Ramallah or Gaza City.
Am I from Canada, or Toronto, or Calgary?
Where are you from? Canada, Calgary, Lebanon, Israel?
It is all subjective depending on how the person chooses to identify themself.
The point is that the cafe waiter was doing his thing in Israel - working, getting paid, free to move about, free to practice his muslim faith. Israel is a multi-faith, multi-ethnic, multi-sexual orentation, multi-political spectrum country.
Is he content or disgruntled? does he feel treated as a second class citizen or relish in his freedom? Is he rich or poor? These are issues for citizens in every country.
