Question: Your parents, they escaped Nazi Germany, yes?
Pappe: That is right
Question: in an interview with the Guardian, you said:
“had it not been for Zionist movement, my parents and many
like them would not have escaped.”
Pappe: That is true, that is a correct quote.
Question: You are alive today because of Zionism?
Pappe: Absolutely! Absolutely

This makes me so angry to read because what the man was saying was that the Arabs are responsible for his welfare, for his survival, and the Arabs do not even know the European Jews. This man is pretending like there was no other spot on the planet where his parents could have gone. He does not tell us exactly when his parents came to Palestine but he is always saying: the 1930s. Does he want people to believe that no Jews left Europe in the 1930s and went to so many other places in the world? Does he want us to believe that only coming to Palestine would have saved his parents ? What about China, America, Cuba, Argentina, Morocco ( just to mention a few places)?
