Fatah spokesman denies Jewish history: US and Britain established Israel, “then the search for a people began”

The spokesman promotes the false claim that Israel was artificially created without an indigenous people, denying Jewish historical ties to the land and portraying the country's entire population as foreign colonial implants.

Fatah Movement spokesman Iyad Abu Zneit: "Israel is exceptional in its establishment, it is extraordinary… In all the countries of the world … the people existed before the state, and the people are the ones who established the state. Society started from a family, then developed into tribes and peoples, and each people chose some political regime, and thus political regimes developed, except for Israel. Its political regime was decided in other countries, the USA and Britain, and was brought here, and then the search for a people began, and therefore all of Israel is composed of immigrants."
