If you attend a formal event with a Palestinian speaker spreading anti-Israel narratives. Wait for the Q & A portion and make the following statement in a loud voice so the crowd can hear: 'We are not fluent in the languages of the region - and particularly Arabic.

Changing the focus of discussion: Hamas is the government of Gaza. And as a government – like any government in the world - I believe Hamas should be held accountable for the welfare of their citizens and be accountable for their actions. Many Arabs including Palestinians, criticize Hamas and hold Hamas accountable for the reality / situation in Gaza.

Why do you think Western circles should exempt Hamas from responsibility? By holding Hamas accountable you (the audience) will empower the voices of Palestinians who oppose Hamas. Thus, you (the audience) can make a positive impact and help Palestinians and Israelis to end the conflict.
