JEWISH JOURNALIST REVEALS EXPERIENCE WITH PALESTINIANS IN WEST BANK
June 28, 2024Jeremy Loffredo, an Investigative Journalist, speaks about his experience as a Jew residing amongst Palestinians in the West Bank on the Kim Iverson Show.
“They were extraordinarily nice… I did ask a few people, you know, a lot of people in America are told that the Palestinians are antisemitic, they don’t like Jews… They were very quick to explain to me that no, it has nothing to do with Jewish People… It’s not about Jewish, it’s about Zionism.”
Arabs have coexisted with Jews for centuries. Zionism is the root of destruction, hatred and animosity.

English Script:
Kim Iverson: Are you Jewish?
Jeremy Loffredo: Yes, I’m Jewish.
Kim Iverson: Did the Palestinians know that when you were in the West Bank?
Jeremy Loffredo: Yeah, I mean, they were. They were…I mean, I’m an American. There were Israeli Jews there that they were more than welcoming. You know, they…It’s existential for them. They…it’s either they stay in their village where they’ve lived for decades or they don’t. And so if you need to, you know, allow some Jewish Israelis or an American journalist to sleep on the floor there in order to keep your entire community, then you’ll do that. And they’ve…you know, they were feeding us beautiful dinners and giving us tea and coffee whenever whenever we asked for it or whenever they felt like it. And they themselves were eating not like us. They were treating us like guests in their homes, they couldn’t have been more welcoming.
Kim Iverson: They didn’t try to murder you, kill you, hurt you? They weren’t saying things…I mean, did they make disparaging comments about you?
Jeremy Loffredo: No they’re extraordinarily nice. I did ask a few people, you know, a lot of people in America, you know, asked this question. A lot of people in America are told that the Palestinians are anti-Semitic, they don’t like Jews, and they’ve heard this before. And they were very quick to explain to me, no, it has nothing to do with Jewish people. My brother here, he would point to an activist, he said, my brother, he is Jewish. It’s not about Jewish, it’s about Zionism and the state of Israel and what the army is doing to us every day. But they they were very quick to to tell me that has nothing to do with the Jewish.
