My name is Anna.
I'm from Copenhagen, Denmark.
I'm 17 years old,
and right now I am in sixth form.
A Zionist, in my eyes,
is a Jew who believes
that the Jews should have a country.
Jews should have a place which is safe,
where they are not persecuted,
where they do not feel in danger.
It doesn't mean that I don't believe that
the Palestinians shouldn't have a state.
It just means that I feel
Israelis should have a state.
The Palestinians
can still have their own state.
The important thing for me
is that Israel should have a state.
It doesn't mean that Palestinians
should be killed because of it.
Of course it's awful when Palestinians
die, just as it is when anyone dies.
It doesn't mean that people should
in any way be killed to make this happen.
For me it's important that Jews
have place where we can be safe.
Many people consider a Zionist
to be a Jewish extremist,
but that's not what I would say.
A Zionist is just
someone who believes
that the Jews should have a state
in Israel, a place where they can live.
I don't want to live in Denmark
after school.
I want to move to Israel.
I have family there.
There's far too much anti-Semitism
in Denmark.
I don't feel there's place for me
as a Jew in Denmark.
I'd rather be somewhere where I know
people have the same religion as I do.
Where I know I have something
in common with others.
I want to be in my homeland,
where I feel like I belong.
