The Jewish narrative “is mostly pure fiction and not reality”

Official PA TV host: "The occupation (i.e., Israel) usually repeats words and narratives, such as ‘We returned to Bethlehem after 2,000 years.' This attempt to mix the Torah story to legitimize the takeover of the land, what is your opinion on that?"

Head of the international relations and communications unit of the PA-controlled Committee to Resist Settlements and the Wall Younes Arar: "The narrative is mostly pure fiction and not reality. When we talk about Palestinian history, we talk about our history and it is the existing reality over different periods of time, but these terrorist colonialists have no historical or religious connection to this land. They [the Jews] were mostly brought from Eastern Europe. They were originally not Jews, but they converted to Judaism at a later historical period, and the claim that they are Semitic and so on is pure fiction and a lie. The occupation state (i.e., Israel) refuses to have any settler undergo a DNA test to trace their genes and connect them to origins, because they will not be connected to Semitic origins, because they are simply European. But every Palestinian on the Palestinian land, whether Muslim, Christian, or other, is connected by one gene, or this hereditary gene connects them to our history on this land."

Host: "Their archaeological excavations have proven that this claim is false."

Younes Arar: "They control the Western media machine, so you find that their narrative is widespread and existing."

The Palestinians have no history prior to the modern period, while an abundance of evidence proves Jewish history in Israel.

Genetic research has conclusively proven that modern Jews share a common origin in Israel and are not the descendants of Khazar converts.
