A pro-Israel protester in London didn’t hesitate to educate a reporter who said he had covered protests over the Israel-Hamas war “from the Palestinian point of view” but also wanted to show “the other side of the coin.”
“There is a difference between the two points of view,” the protester said. “One is based on truth and history, the other is fiction, fraud, and lies.”
“I think you should change your terminology,” he added. “You didn’t cover it from the Palestinian point of view – you covered it from the Palestinian Arab point of view, because they don’t own the word ‘Palestinian,’ he said, noting, “There are [also] Palestinian Jews, like my family.”
“There has never in history been an Arab Palestine,” he continued. Though there has been a country called “Palestine,” he said, this was simply just “a renaming of Israel.”
“So you are not really covering a ‘Palestinian’ point of view. You may be covering a ‘Palestinian Arab’ point of view,” he said, but added that, in any event, “none of [the Palestinian Arabs] are actually ‘Palestinian.'”
“Even [Hamas leader] Ismail Haniyeh, who was finally eliminated this week, is Egyptian,” he noted.
