Here's a moderate Arabic writer for Al Jazeera. He's a terrorist supporting liar.

Al Jazeera has an opinion piece by Omar Fares, the president of the Social and Cultural Association of Palestinians in Poland:

For years I have been subjected to attacks from circles associated with the so-called "hasbara" and from defenders of the Zionist project. Recently, these attacks have noticeably increased. Some try to portray me as a hate-driven individual, while for decades I have been speaking about a completely different issue: the rights of the Palestinian people, the occupation, displacement, the Nakba, and the political responsibility for the suffering of civilians.

Therefore, I will answer you directly.

You who call your activity "hasbara" and present it as a kind of "Israeli public diplomacy," you should ask yourselves: Why are an increasing number of people around the world rejecting this narrative without scrutiny?

No media campaign can replace the facts forever. Propaganda may try to change how reality is described, but it cannot make reality disappear.

So Fares is saying that he is not a hate filled individual, he cares about the truth that Zionists are spreading, and (later on) he says he is not an antisemite.

OK, let's check his previous op-eds.

In late July, he wrote a tribute to Kōzō Okamoto, the surviving member of the Japanese Red Army cell that massacred 25 people at Lod Airport in 1972.

Here's how he described the event:

Lod Airport operation: When the world shook the occupying entity

On the morning of that fateful day, Kozo Okamoto and his two companions (Osama and Adnan) set out to carry out a daring operation at Lod Airport (now known as Ben Gurion Airport). The operation was a response to the Zionist massacres against the Palestinian people, especially the Munich Airport massacre that preceded it, in which Palestinian athletes were killed.

The three men entered the airport carrying suitcases that concealed their weapons. Upon reaching the passenger terminal, they opened fire indiscriminately and threw hand grenades, killing 24 people and wounding dozens.

...On the day of his passing, the hearts of millions stopped beating. But physical death did not end his presence; rather, it transformed him into an eternal symbol, a star shining in the sky of international struggle.
...Kozo Okamoto was not just a fighter, but a philosopher of struggle and a humanitarian par excellence. He believed that the liberation of humankind from injustice was the ultimate goal, and that oppressed peoples everywhere should unite against imperialism, Zionism, and tyranny.

He's right about one thing: it was indiscriminate shooting and grenades.

But this "humanitarian" murdered 26 innocent civilians. 17 of those killed were Christian pilgrims from Puerto Rico.

The Meir Amit Center says that he has posted antisemitism on his Facebook page, too.

And there was no "Munich airport massacre" of Palestinian athletes. He is referring to the Munich Olympics massacre that occurred after the Lod massacre, not after.

Fares is twisting the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre into an attack on Palestinian athletes by Zionists!

So we have established that Fares is a liar who revises history and who openly supports terror..

This is a Palestinian "moderate" being syndicated by Al Jazeera, which also cannot be trusted to do basic fact checks in what it publishes.
