The Arab-Israeli, Orthodox Christian, journalist and activist, in defense of Israel, Osef Hadd, is also giving lectures in Cyprus with the aim of overturning the propaganda, according to him, that his country, Israel, is a racist state.
Last night he gave a lecture at the Markideio Theater, while today he plans to give a similar lecture at the Limassol Municipal Theater. Osef Haddad said that his country is not the perfect country and the perfect society, but he has dedicated his life to debunking myths and lies, as he said. He said that the state of Israel and the Israeli army protect all communities and religions in the country.
How is it possible for the state of Israel to be racist when he, who is of Arab origin, became an officer in the army, served in the Golani brigade, and when he was wounded in Lebanon, he was rescued by his Jewish comrades.
Osef Haddad presented many examples of cooperation between Arabs and Jews in Israel, calling on young people in the Arab sector to embrace their Israeli identity. He also called on the Palestinians to expel the extremists and extremists who are responsible for all their suffering and hardship, he said.
Outside the venue of the event in Paphos, around ten citizens holding Palestinian flags gathered and booed Hadat. He invited them to attend their lecture, saying that he was ready to crush them with his truths. The police had taken draconian measures around the Markideio theater.
