The young Palestinian writer Mohammed Elkurd from Sheikh Jarrah, Jerusalem, was asked by the CNN journalist in the end of his interview : "Do you support the protest- the violent protest- that have erupted in solidarity of you and other families in your position right now ?" Mohammed Elkurd asked her back : "Do you support the violent dispossession of me and my family ? Watch her reaction ... His comment on instagram : mohammedelkurd 12/05/2021 "I knew this interview was going to have a biased, inaccurate framing, and it did from the start. But I made sure I course corrected. I’m happy that you cannot edit a live interview, because there’s no way I could have spoken so bluntly about the myth of “both sides” and Israeli “self-defense” had this been prerecorded.
