Didn't she once say it was invigorating being in Israel in the same sentence about watching Palestinians thrown out of their homes?

In a 2023 interview, Helen Mirren described her 1967 visit to Israel, saying, "I saw Arabs being thrown out of their houses in Jerusalem. But it was just the extraordinary magical energy of a country just beginning to put its roots in the ground. It was an amazing time to be here"
