Mr Horowitz travelled to the West Bank and interviewed Palestinians to see what they think about gay people and then played that footage back to progressive Americans. He said 'every single person' he spoke to 'changed' their pro-Palestine position – with one American questioning the accuracy of the left-wing narrative on the issue.
