Guests on PA TV: All of Palestine is ours, from “the [Jordan] River to the [Mediterranean] Sea,” and it will “return to us”

Official PA TV program What's Your Opinion? on the Jewish Nation-State Law

Official PA TV host: "We are [here] today from the program What's Your Opinion on PA TV. After the transfer of the American embassy to Jerusalem and the [American] recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital came the [Jewish] Nation-State Law. What's your opinion about it, and why its timing?"

Palestinian man: "It is not illogical for a Zionist, right-wing, and extremist government led by [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu. This law targets us [and strives] to destroy the Palestinian Interior of 1948 (i.e., Palestinian term for Israel)."

Host: "What is the goal of this law if it's implemented?"

Man: "As I told you, the goal is the scattering of the Palestinian people within and outside of the interior, the weakening of our residents and our people from the 1948 [territories], the revoking of their rights – whether citizenship in the so-called State of Israel [or] rights of ownership and publication, they will lose all of the rights that every citizen enjoys in every state…

But Allah willing, even though [the Israelis] are implementing a policy and legislating laws, they will not crush us. We will remain, and Palestine is our right and is complete from the [Jordan] River to the [Mediterranean] Sea. Allah willing, it will return [to us], and our capital is Jerusalem."

Host: "What is your name?"

Palestinian boy: "My name is Adam."

Host: "Adam, have you heard about the Nation-State Law? What have you heard about it?"

Boy: "In other words, why did [the Palestinians] go on strike?”

Host: "You, you- You went on strike, yes, you went on strike a few days ago in the schools. Why did you go on strike?"

Boy: "Because Israel says this is their country, that Palestine is their country. Gaza, Acre (i.e., an Israeli city), and all of the Palestinian cities. They say that they are [part of] their country, and that is wrong."

Host: "Why, whose country is it?"

Boy: "The Palestinians' country."

Host: "The Palestinians' country? In other words, you do not agree with this law?"

Boy: "Of course, this will remain our country in any case."
