A Kuwaiti political science lecturer caused a stir after recently saying that Palestinians are similar to Europeans.
Dr. Abdullah Nafisi was interviewed by the Kuwaiti Al-Qabs network. According to him, the Palestinians "know how to live and cannot be laughed at.
They are not the Bedouin as in the Arabian Peninsula.
They have no loyalties like the Bedouin.
It never was.
The Palestinian people are about a European people. "
The investigator is known for his support of the Hamas terrorist organization, his opposition to Avraham's agreements and his support for a boycott of Israel.
In fact, he intended to compliment the Palestinians, noting that "the highest level of education among the Arab peoples is among the Palestinian people, including its doctors and doctors."
A European leader?
PA Chairman Abu Mazen,
But the statement was interpreted as a disregard for the dignity of the residents of the Arabian Peninsula.
Following this, activists in the Arab Gulf called for the revocation of his citizenship and his doctorate.
At the same time, social media have argued that the Bedouin are not something the Gulf peoples should be ashamed of, but a source of pride.
Nafisi is a well-known figure in Kuwait.
He received his doctorate from the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom in the 1970s.
He later headed the Department of Political Science at the University of Kuwait.
In 1985, Nafisi was elected to the Kuwaiti National Council, but the council was dissolved after a year by order of the emir and Nafisi himself was arrested by the police.
During the interview, Nafisi, who is a Hamas supporter, also spoke out against former PA chairman Yasser Arafat, who died in 2004.
