Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Burita recently claimed bloody relations between the people of his country and the Zionists during a meeting in the Negev in the Occupied Territories, saying in a controversial statement: “Israelis are of Moroccan descent.”

“The Israeli claim that there is at least one Moroccan in each family is true,” the Moroccan foreign minister said. “If you say that maybe in every Israeli family there is the blood of a Moroccan, I would say that is true.”
