Mostafa
Bethlehem
If there was an Israeli
who was not Zionist
and he wanted to move to Palestine
What do you think?
First of all, this is a Palestinian land
and not an Israeli land
If they wanted to be Palestinian?
How would they like to be 
Palestinian when they are Israeli?
They would want to move here
and live in Bethlehem
If they want to come here
as tourists, they are welcome
but if they want to come here
and own, no
Even as tourists, would they have
the same rights as Palestinians?
I don't think so
Bassem
Nablus
He will be welcome at any time
because I am ordered to do that
by Islam
I am ordered by Islam
to respect the Jewish people
We make a difference between the 
Jews and the Zionists
The Zionists are different
because the Jews are a religion
We are ordered to not hate people
for their religion
gender or colour
We love all people
We are ordered by Islam
to respect Jews and Christians
This is from the Quran
I translate
God ordered you to respect
the Jews and the Christians
because they are those that
took the message from the sky
We have to respect them
on one condition
They cannot attack us
Our enemy in Palestine are the Zionists
Not the Jewish people
So it's okay that he will be your neighbour
He will buy the house next to you
Yes, yes, it's okay for me
There is no problem
If we are equal
I want to buy a house there
in Tel Aviv
but I want to be equal 
with my neighbours also
It's called Tel Aviv now
Look, you are talking with someone
who was in Israeli prison for 15 years
I just came back 9 months ago
I used to be a member of Hamas
so when you ask me a question like that
I answer you
with a good opinion
I studied that
I know what I am talking about
Abudiya
If an Israeli, not a Zionist
want to come live in Abudiya
Do you agree? Is that okay?
No
Of course we won't agree about that
Our religion, our citizen
our people
we refuse that
They want to come live with 
you as a Palestinian
I don't know about that
but I refuse...
It's not possible for me
Not for you
What about you?
The same
Like she said
Of course
But I thought in Islam,
you are supposed to accept others
Yes, maybe they are friends with us
they talk with us
have a relationship with us
other things
Community and relationship
It's together
anyways
But not to live in your village?
Not to live where I live
I have another question
There is a village, Taybe
the village Taybe
- Yes
It's Christians, right?
- Yes
They have a rule
no Muslims are allowed to live there
Yes
No Muslims
- No Muslims
Is that okay?
Because it is the same thing you said
Yes, it is strange
We live Muslims and Christians
together here
Exactly
But we refuse
that Israeli people will come
to live with us here
This is a Palestinian area
They want to live as Palestinians
I don't know
It's not possible for me
If an Israeli non Zionist
wanted to move here
and be your neighbour
What do you think?
Mutasem
Nablus
If he wasn't a Zionist
If he wasn't an occupier
and wasn't a Zionist
then it's fine
but if he was occupying my land
then I would not agree with it
I would not coexist with him
What did she say?
(woman to our side)
It's all refused, rejected
They already took lands
and killed
The word (she used)
has two meanings
either "raped" or "stolen"
We use that (word) about Israelis
or any occupier that takes land
Would an Israeli that is not a Zionist
be welcome to live in Palestine?
Saade
Bethlehem
Where in Palestine?
Because Palestine is divided
He wants to move to Bethlehem
Who would tell him no?
If he had bought property
who is going to stop him?
If he was your neighbour
are you okay with that?
Yes of course
Samaritans
If someone is Israeli but not Zionist
is it okay if he comes to live here?
Mahmoud
Bethlehem
As a tourist, he is welcome
but as an occupier, no, we would not...
He wants to come here
buy a house and live like a Palestinian
To own? No, of course we 
would be against this
If he was a Jew from Canada
would that be okay?
If he wants to come live here
like the Christians do
sure, no problem
but not as an occupier
not as occupation
If an Israeli was not coming
as an occupation
just wanted to live here
Yes, that would be okay
Adnan
Nablus
It's okay
He is a Jew
Not Zionist
So it's okay to be your neighbour?
Yes
But then why can't he come
for Iftar, I just asked you that
(different video)
Yes but Iftar is a Muslim thing
It's because he is Jewish
but not because he is Jewish
If it was somebody Christian
would you invite him for Iftar?
Yes, my friend is Christian
so it's okay
Okay, you really need to think about this
Jewish is complicated
the relationship between Muslims and Jews
is complicated
especially in Palestine
If there was no conflict anymore
would you...
- If there was no war
I need to think about it
It's a difficult question
- Yes
Moad
Nablus
Would you accept an Israeli
that is not a Zionist
to be your neighbour?
In all the countries, 
anybody from any nationality
can live next to another person
Of course he is welcome
or they are welcome
to come and stay in the house
but as long as that house
does not become politically
as long as it does not 
become politically something else
He is welcome to rent and be my neighbour
but not more
What if he wants to buy the house?
This exists all over the world
Anyone can
Yes I understand the translation
and yes you are correct 
as long as it's not political
As long as this land remains
as part of my country
It's fine
He said there are Jews here in Nablus
Yes we know this
Those are Samaritans
They are not Jews
They are a sect of Judaism
so they are Jews
They even
introduce themselves as Jews
But can an Israeli come here
and say "I am a Palestinian, just like you"?
I said "feel like this is my country
and I am Palestinian"
The situation in the past
is sensitive, as you know
and for an Israeli to live here
is not easy
it's not easy at all
Would he accept him?
Is he an Israeli citizen or
someone coming from outside?
An Israeli citizen
Yes, I would surely
not agree to that
because honestly
because they (Israelis) used
to come to these areas
and they would enforce their hands
(take control)
on things and say, now this is ours
So he is afraid they would
take it over?
Yes of course
Because in the end
we don't have any power
or authority
to tell him to leave
Because if he stays
he won't leave
