Lucy Aharish (, (アラビア語:لوسي هريش); born 18 September 1981) is an Israeli-Arab news presenter, reporter, and television host. She currently presents the Evening Edition of the news broadcaster i24news, and serves as a morning anchor on a current-affairs show on Channel 2. Aharish is notable for being the first Arab news presenter on Hebrew-language Israeli television. ==Background== Aharish was born in 1981 in the southern Israeli town of Dimona, to Maaruf and Salwa Aharish, Arab Israeli Muslim parents originally from Nazareth. Growing up, she was the only Arab student at her school. On Purim she dressed up as Queen Esther, and on Israeli Independence Day she wore blue and white. Later, in 2015, Aharish praised her former high school principal Meir Cohen (then a Knesset member for Yesh Atid) for having fostered an uncompromising stance against racism.〔Elhanan Miller, (A survivor of terror, Israel’s first Arab news presenter is done being a victim ), Times of Israel, 20 April 2015〕 When she was six years old, she was slightly injured by a Molotov cocktail thrown at her family's car by Palestinian militants, while driving in the Gaza Strip. During her adolescence, she says she believed right-wing politics: "I am an Arab who grew up among Moroccan Jews. That's the worst. You learn the hard-core shticks; they have a very short fuse. I was a right-wing Muslim, a fan of Beitar (Jerusalem soccer club with nationalistic fans )."〔 She now identifies with the left.〔 While at university, she drifted towards becoming a devout Muslim, although subsequently distances herself from the religious life.〔 The idea of pursuing a career in media developed after she moved to Jerusalem to study social sciences and theater at the Hebrew University. "()n Highway 1 I saw Arabs being taken off a van and made to face the wall, with rifles aimed at them. I felt that no human being deserves that, and then the penny dropped. But it's also impossible to ignore what the Palestinians are doing." After graduating from Hebrew University, she studied journalism at the Koteret school in Tel Aviv and then interned for a year and a half at a school in Germany.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lucy Aharish」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
