I also want to punch the right winger shouting "death to the Arabs" at football game. I also want to punch the security people at the airport for "randomly" checking me (100% of the time), humiliating me, making me feel like second class. But I am an Arab in a Jewish country. I am second class, now even by (law) [https://www.vox.com/world/2018/7/31/17623978/israel-jewish-nation-state-law-bill-explained-apartheid-netanyahu-democracy]. I will get every punch back tenfolds. The only way for me to punch back is by living, continuing my path, succeeding. My mere existence is a punch to them, and that is good like that. Can you afford punching a nazi? Do it. Can you do it in a way you minimize damage to yourself? Even better.
