At speech in Santiago, Palestinian representative to Chile denies existence of the Jewish people.
The Jewish people does not exist, PLO Ambassador to Chile Imad Nabil Jadaa told an audience during a talk he gave in Santiago this May, according to a video released by the Institute for the Study of Global Anti-Semitism and Policy.
Addressing members of the Gran Logia Masonic Lodge, Jadaa said that Palestinians dont recognize the existence of the Jewish people as there is not, in fact, any such people.
This is not my personal analysis. Here we can refer to the Jewish Israeli professor from the University of Tel Aviv, Dr. Shlomo Sand, in his book The Invention of the Jewish People. A Jew with Israeli passport announces that, the so-called Jewish nation is a made up invention. Because a religion cannot be a people, he said.

(6,068 posts)the headline claims the ambassador endorsed the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. In fact he quoted Shlomo Sand, which is a very different thing altogether.

I watched the clips, and they are correctly translated (I understand some Castellano and he's speaks very clearly). This guy is a bona fide anti-Semite, and a Palestinian ambassador to boot.
There are two clips from the speech. While they're short, I have no doubt that the context is about his opinion about that the Jews are all Khazars, and that the Protocols are genuine.
First clip:

"Until 1896 when a group of academic intellectuals, financial advisers, majority being non-Jewish Europeans, decided to create the Zionist movement with one pretext/excuse; the
creation of a homeland for the Jewish people. Although the truth is that this (the goal) is to protect their plans of dominating life in the entire planet. According to the book The Protocols of the Elders of Zion published in 1923, discovered by Lenin after the triumph of the Bolshevik revolution in Russia was over. In that book they mention the destruction of the moralities of other religions. In that book they put plans of the manipulation of all the apparatus of the financial, economic and industrial of the entire world. They discuss about the manipulation of the local political forces from all different countries."

"About the hatred we have against the Jewish people. As Palestinians, first, we dont have
hatred. Second we dont recognize the existence of the Jewish people-there is no Jewish
people. This is not my personal analysis. Here we can refer to the Jewish Israeli professor
from the University of Tel Aviv, Dr. Shlomo Sand, in his book The Invention of the Jewish people. A Jew with Israeli passport announces that, the so-called Jewish nation is a made up invention. Because a religion cannot be a people."

Fascinating, though, that you would make that sort of response.
It's really hard for some folks to acknowledge that anti-semites are out there even when they are completely explicit in their anti-semitism.
Perhaps time for some self-reflection on the topic?

(25,699 posts)Why is Fathi Hamed an acceptable and accurate source to you, and your friends here on DU, but Shlomo Sand is unacceptable?
oberliner
(58,724 posts)Maybe listen to (or read) the actual remarks made by this Palestinian diplomat, specifically where he quotes from the Protocols forgery.
Thankfully, the PA saw fit to dismiss him immediately.
Perhaps time for others to reflect on their response to this?

(30,109 posts)Look at the audience Hamed is addressing. He's not slamming Palestinians. He's demanding help from Egypt, telling them something they already accept as fact. You'll notice the Egyptian interviewer doesn't even question Hamed's statements.
OTOH, Sand's audience are all Israel haters. You'd have a point if Sand were in a conversation with mainstream Jews, discussing his research as if it's already accepted fact among all or most Jews.

(25,699 posts)It doesn't matter if it's Schlomo Sand doing it to jews or Fathi Hamad doing it with Palestinians.
Just because you desperately, DESPERATELY want to deny the existence of Palestinians doesn't make the latter any better than the former.

(30,109 posts)The fact is 100 years ago, Palestinians were Jews. The Arabs of the region did not identify as Palestinians.
Remember the debate about Immanuel Kant? I'm sure you Kan. You Kant have possibly forgotten it since April...

(45,850 posts)According to Palestinian sources, Abbas was furious and instructed his foreign minister Riad al-Malki to recall the envoy for consultations. Abbas reportedly saw the remarks as a sharp deviation from his official line that Palestinians have no quarrel with Jews or Judaism, but oppose Israeli policy.
A Palestinian source says that it is doubtful that the ambassador will return to his post and a replacement will probably be named.
