If he hates apartheid, he can move to South Africa. They ended it there and everything’s going fine

Yuval Abraham, a 29-year-old journalist and filmmaker...Maybe he WAS there, taking part as a "Hamas journalist".

From the context, he clearly meant death threats from right-wing Israelis. He said he was forced to cancel his return to Israel. He’s apparently not popular in Israel at the moment.
To: euram
Traitorous statements do not sit well with most Israelis.
