U.S. Comedian Discovers Love for Hamas in Palestinian Authority

(Jerusalem Post) Mathilda Heller - Most Palestinians that Jewish American comedian Zach Fox spoke to in Ramallah expressed unwavering support for Hamas, antisemitic views, and an antipathy towards a two-state solution, he told the Jerusalem Post on Tuesday. "I didn't meet one person who didn't love Hamas....All of them hated Jews with every bone of their body." Fox, accompanied by a translator, producer and cameraman, did not reveal his Jewish identity. Fox queried whether they saw the videos posted by Hamas on Oct. 7. "Everything," declared one woman. "And you are okay with everything they did?" "With everything they did," she confirmed. When asked whether they felt that Hamas should release the remaining Israeli hostages, there was a resounding "no" from all the Palestinians. He was interviewing a girl, and a Palestinian man came over and started shouting in Arabic. Fox's Arabic-speaking colleagues told him the man was upset that the girl was being interviewed, believing it to be immodest. The man then called over more men. "All of a sudden, he comes up and says we have to delete the rest of our footage....My cameraman said, 'I'm very scared, they are threatening to kill us if we don't delete this.' I've been making videos for 15 years, and I've never had to delete videos because someone's threatened to kill me." "Do you want to live with the Israelis in peace?" Fox asked some women. "No. I want a one-state solution. No Israel. We should delete Israel." "So you would not be okay with a two-state solution?" "Of course not," came the reply.
