Israel steals culture, even Hebrew stolen from Aramaic
Interview on PA TV with Dr. Ibrahim Al-Fani of the Al-Quds Institute of Research and Documentation, concerning the cultural landscape of Jerusalem and the "Israeli assault" on the city:
Al-Fani: "He [the Israeli] has stolen my culture, turned it into technology, burned my customs and traditions, and taken what I have, leaving me devoid of initiative…
We must put together a cultural team and prevail over the Israelis in disseminating [our] culture, for they have no culture. You know that the Hebrew language is not [really] the Hebrew language, since it is taken from Aramaic. All the universities in the world know this. They stole the Aramaic language and codified it, and it became Hebrew."
