“The Israeli knows in his subconscious mind” that Israelis are “temporary” here - PA TV and Palestinian jurist
Official PA TV narrator: "Even in the depths of the Israeli public, there is an understanding that their presence here is temporary. The dual citizenship of the soldiers and settlers is not just a coincidence but rather an escape plan ready to be executed if the balance of powers changes."
Jurist Sufian Siyam: "The Israeli knows in his subconscious mind that his existence on this land is temporary... In 2006, there was an Israeli soldier named Gilad Shalit (i.e., hostage held by Hamas). We were surprised to discover later that Gilad Shalit has French citizenship… Israeli soldier Edan Alexander (i.e., hostage captured and released during Hamas' Oct. 7 war on Israel) has American citizenship. Why do the Israeli soldiers and Israeli civilians insist on having another citizenship besides Israeli citizenship? Because deep in his heart, his grandfather before him and his son after him knew that his existence on this land is temporary."
