All Palestinians are in Qatar: While the Reality Kicks

There is a "Palestinian nation"… The Israeli media had to travel to Qatar to remember this reality, as for Israelis, Palestinians do not exist since years.

In the US, they gave us a sense that we are protected infinitely. The support that we had from the evangelicals, who support Israel and the intimate relationship between this community and Netanyahu and his house sons have become a substitute for the support of the US Jews -which its majority are democratic and believe in dialogue and political compromise, and Abraham agreements with a number of Arab countries supported this sense.  

When the world Cup started in Qatar, we were surprised. Arabs hate Israel and they are in solidarity with their brothers in Palestine. No agreement will succeed to change the reality. 

"We feel that we are hated, surrounded by enemies, unwanted". Raz Scheckenk and Oz Maalim, journalists, wrote. "On the street we are accompanied by Palestinians, Iranians, Qataris, Moroccans, Jordanians, Syrians, Egyptians and Lebanese with hate looks." Did journalists complaining about hatred think about what does it mean to be a Palestinian journalist in Israel? Do they remember Shireen Abu Aqleh, the women and the symbol, who according to the Israeli army investigation itself, she was killed with high probability by the fire of the fighter Dovdvan. Did they also forget that Israel still control another people or that they adhered to no Palestinian people?

Throughout long years, the Israeli right wing succeeded to make the Israeli public forget Palestinians. The World Cup came to remind everybody including the Israeli media that our neighborhoods are still here behind the corner. In Qatar, there are many people kicking balls, and it appears that there is also who kick the reality for us in the face.
