"I gave them very old books describing that land as Palestine, some over 100 years older than their state. They got angry, and that's a good thing." pic.twitter.com/D8F0oDbDs8
The bookstore worker said the customers became angry after seeing the historical references. She described their reaction as significant, saying she viewed their anger as evidence that the historical material had challenged their understanding of the region.
The account, shared on social media, has sparked discussion over historical narratives surrounding Jerusalem and Palestine, particularly the way the region was described in publications produced before the establishment of Israel.
The remarks come amid continuing international debate over the history, identity and political status of Jerusalem and the broader Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
