Seeing is believing — maybe. I was not sure I really believed what I was seeing so I wrote a message to the owners of the Facebook page that uploaded the video. The page is called “West Bank Workers in Israel”. I asked if we could speak on the phone and they agreed to answer my questions anonymously in private messages only.
The video shows Palestinian workers freely entering Israel this morning — 28 June 2020. Below the video I will post their responses to my questions and continue the discussion.
“Israel knows very well that the Palestinians are not a threat to Israelis,” my contact from the Facebook page wrote. “There are soldiers overlooking this scene.” He told me that Abbas and the leaders of the Palestinian Authority (PA) want the people to die of hunger.
