The Israel Project, a US media advocacy group, has produced a revised training manual
to help the worldwide Zionist movement win the
propaganda war, keep their ill-gotten territorial gains and persuade
international audiences to accept that their crimes are necessary and
conform to “shared values” between Israel and the civilised West.
It’s a clever document
The manual teaches how to justify the slaughter, the ethnic
cleansing, the land-grabbing, the cruelty and the blatant disregard for
international law and UN resolutions, and make it all smell sweeter
with a liberal squirt of the aerosol of persuasive language. It is
designed to hoodwink us ignorant and gullible Americans and Europeans
into believing that we actually share values with the racist regime in
Israel and that its abominable behaviour is therefore deserving of our
support.
Israel is hoping for a PR massacre. The other side — the Palestinian
Authority and the PLO — don’t take communications seriously and have
neglected to correct Israeli distortion. They are happy, it seems, for
Israel’s one-sided definitions to prevail, which of course makes the
task for Israel so much easier. This latest propaganda offensive is potentially the ‘coup de grace’ to finish off the tormented Palestinians.
And the manual will no doubt serve as a communications primer for
the army of cyber-scribblers that Israel’s Ministry of Dirty Tricks is
recruiting to spread Zionism’s poison across the internet.
This quote at the beginning sets the tone: “Remember, it’s not what you say that counts. It’s what people hear.”
Top priority: demonise Hamas
The manual’s numerous messages are aimed at the mass of
“persuadables”, primarily in America but also in the UK. The strategy
from the start is to isolate democratically-elected Hamas and to rob
the resistance movement and the Palestinian population of their human
rights….
Clearly differentiate between the Palestinian people and
Hamas. There is an immediate and clear distinction between the empathy
Americans feel for the Palestinians and the scorn they direct at
Palestinian leadership. Hamas is a terrorist organization – Americans
get that already. But if it sounds like you are attacking the
Palestinian people (even though they elected Hamas) rather than their
leadership, you will lose public support. Right now, many Americans
sympathize with the plight of the Palestinians, and that sympathy will
increase if you fail to differentiate the people from their leaders.
The plight of the Palestinians under Israel’s heel was an international concern long before Hamas appeared on the scene.
But this scorning of leaders is familiar ground. We scorned Bush and
Blair and had to differentiate between them and their respective
peoples. We now have to do the same with Barack Obama and Gordon Brown.
We are tired of having to make that same differentiation between the
Israeli people and the dreadful leaders they produce.
ISRAEL’S RIGHT TO DEFENSIBLE BORDERS: With more than
three years of violent history since Israel’s agreement to withdraw
from Gaza and portions of the West Bank, Americans have had time to
take stock of the situation and form opinions. The big picture: they
believe that Hamas’ leadership of Gaza has made Israel and the region
less safe, while some are more receptive to what they perceive as a
moderate approach in the West Bank by Mahmoud Abbas. Based on these
experiences, they are willing to grant Israel more leeway in resisting
calls to give more land for more peace.
Here we clearly see the motive for demonising Hamas….Israel wants
more leeway to continue its land-grabs and other criminal activities.
If… If… If…Then.”: Put the burden on Hamas to make the
first move for peace by using If’s (and don’t forget to finish with a
hard then to show Israel is a willing peace partner). “If Hamas
reforms… If Hamas recognize our right to exist… If Hamas renounces
terrorism… If Hamas supports international peace agreements… then we
are willing to make peace today.
How daft can you get? Substitute Israel for Hamas.
Words that work
The manual sets out numerous examples of “words that work” — supposedly.
We know that the Palestinians deserve leaders who will
care about the well being of their people, and who do not simply take
hundreds of millions of dollars in assistance from America and Europe,
put them in Swiss bank accounts, and use them to support terror instead
of peace.
No mention here of the billions of tax dollars Israel takes from the
US and spends on munitions to obliterate and vaporize its neighbours.
Peace can only be made with adversaries who want to make
peace with you. Terrorist organizations like Iran-backed Hezbollah,
Hamas, and Islamic Jihad are, by definition, opposed to peaceful
co-existence, and determined to prevent reconciliation. I ask you, how
do you negotiate with those who want you dead?
Hamas and Hezbollah are only regarded as terrorists by the White
House and Tel Aviv and by US-Israeli stooges and flag-wavers at
Westminster and elsewhere.
In Executive Order 13224 – BLOCKING PROPERTY AND PROHIBITING
TRANSACTIONS WITH PERSONS WHO COMMIT, THREATEN TO COMMIT, OR SUPPORT
TERRORISM – Bush used this definition: “The term “terrorism” means an
activity that —
(i) involves a violent act or an act dangerous to human life, property, or infrastructure; and
(ii) appears to be intended —
(A) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
(B) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or
(C) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, kidnapping, or hostage-taking.”
It describes the antics of the US and Israel perfectly.
There is NEVER, EVER, any justification for the
deliberate slaughter of innocent women and children. NEVER…. there is
one fundamental principle that all peoples from all parts of the globe
will agree on: civilized people do not target innocent women and
children for death.
Fine words, but where does that leave Israel, which recently killed
320 children in Gaza and 773 civilians including 109 women? From the
start of the second Intifada (uprising against the Israeli occupation)
in 2000 to the end of last year Israel had slaughtered 4,936
Palestinians in their homeland, including 952 children, according to
the Israeli human rights organization B’Tselem. In the same period
Palestinians killed 490 Israelis in Israel including only 84 children.
So Israel’s kill-rate is at least 10 to 1, and rising since the
blitzkrieg on Gaza.
Iran-backed or US-backed – take your pick
Use humility. ‘I know that in trying to defend its
children and citizens from terrorists that Israel has accidentally hurt
innocent people. I know it, and I’m sorry for it. But what can Israel
do to defend itself? If America had given up land for peace – and that
land had been used for launching rockets at America, what would America
do? Israel was attacked with thousands of rockets from Iran-backed
Palestinian terrorists in Gaza. What should Israel have done to protect
her children?’
Palestinians too have a right to defend themselves. Hamas was the
popular choice of Palestinians at the last election and is entitled
under international law to take up arms against an illegal occupier and
invader. If it is supported by Iran, so what? Israel is extravagantly
funded and supplied by the US. Here’s part of their begging-bowl
“Military Aid Speech”….
Israel makes the request for military assistance out of
self-defense. As a democracy, they have the right and the
responsibility to protect our borders. As a democracy, they have the
right and the responsibility to protect their citizens.
Israel does not ask for U.S. troops to protect itself. It does not
ask for a single American soldier to protect its borders. It only asks
for the funds for them to protect themselves. They need the equipment
so that their own troops can ensure the safety of their civilian
population through this gathering conflict with the enemies of
democracy.
They didn’t ask to have our nation built in range of Iranian
missiles. They didn’t ask that their nation be a focal point for
religious extremists who have declared war on the West and on democracy.
But they are, and they need your help.
And here’s the rationale behind it….
Americans fundamentally believe that a democracy has a
right to protect its people and its borders. And while Americans don’t
want to increase foreign aid in a time of significant budgetary
deficits and painful spending cuts, there is one and only one argument
that will work for Israel (in four easy steps):
1) As a democracy, Israel has the right and the responsibility to defend its borders and protect its people.
2) Terrorist groups, including Iran-backed Hezbollah and Hamas,
continue to pose a direct threat to Israeli security and have
repeatedly taken innocent Israeli lives.
3) Israel is America’s one and only true ally in the region. In
these particularly unstable and dangerous times, Israel should not be
forced to go it alone.
4) With America’s financial assistance, Israel can defend its
borders, protect its people, and provide invaluable assistance to the
American effort against the war against terrorism.
It’s evident that Americans don’t believe in democracy enough to allow Palestinian democracy to flourish.
“When the terror ends, Israel will no longer need to have
challenging checkpoints to inspect goods and people. When the terror
ends we will no longer need a security fence.”
There are no rockets coming out of the West Bank, so why is the
security fence still there – and still being built? Why are the
occupation troops still there? Why are hundreds of checkpoints still
there? Why is Israel still stealing land, demolishing Palestinian homes
and building settlements there?
Remind people – again and again – that Israel wants peace.
Reason One: If Americans see no hope for peace—if they only see a
continuation of a 2,000-year-long episode of “Family Feud”—Americans
will not want their government to spend tax dollars or their
President’s clout on helping Israel.
Reason Two: The speaker that is perceived as being most for PEACE will win the
debate. Every time someone makes the plea for peace, the reaction is
positive. If you want to regain the public relations advantage, peace
should be at the core of whatever message you wish to convey.
Israel does NOT want peace. It has never met its peace agreement
obligations. Every action is directed at keeping the conflict going
until the Israelis have stolen enough land and established enough
‘facts on the ground’ – Jews-only settlements, highways, disconnected
Palestinian Bantustans – to enable them to redraw the map to suit their
expansionist agenda and make the occupation PERMANENT.
Gaza in a vice
Israel made painful sacrifices and took a risk to give
peace a chance. They voluntarily removed over 9,000 settlers from Gaza
and parts of the West Bank, abandoning homes, schools, businesses, and
places of worship in the hopes of renewing the peace process. Despite
making an overture for peace by withdrawing from Gaza, Israel continues
to face terrorist attacks, including rocket attacks and drive-by
shootings of innocent Israelis. Israel knows that for a lasting peace,
they must be free from terrorism and live with defensible borders.
Israel never left. It still occupies Gazan airspace, coastal waters
and airwaves, and controls all borders except Rafah where it
nevertheless exerts a veto. Israel has Gaza in a vice, which is
crushing the tiny enclave’s economy, starving its 1.5 million citizens
and creating a huge humanitarian crisis in an attempt to bring the
elected government to its knees.
Draw direct parallels between Israel and
America—including the need to defend against terrorism…. The more you
focus on the similarities between Israel and America, the more likely
you are to win the support of those who are neutral. Indeed, Israel is
an important American ally in the war against terrorism, and faces many
of the same challenges as America in protecting their citizens.
Note how Israel’s strategy is almost totally dependent on the false
idea that they are victims of terror and western nations need to huddle
together with Israel for mutual protection. Fortunately, level-headed
people are beginning to realize who the terrorists really are.
It is surely obvious by now that allowing parallels to be drawn
between Israel and America only serves to increase the world’s hatred
of America. US citizens need to wake up to this, and British citizens
should avoid falling into the same trap.
Inject with “core values” and repeat over and over again…
The language of Israel is the language of America:
‘democracy,’ ‘freedom,’ ’security,’ and ‘peace.’ These four words are
at the core of the American political, economic, social, and cultural
systems, and they should be repeated as often as possible because they
resonate with virtually every American.
If so fluent in this language, why won’t Israel acknowledge their
neighbours’ rights to democracy, freedom, security and peace and end
their military oppression?
A simple rule of thumb is that once you get to the point
of repeating the same message over and over again so many times that
you think you might get sick—that is just about the time the public
will wake up and say ‘Hey—this person just might be saying something
interesting to me!’ But don’t confuse messages with facts….
Never let facts get in the way of a good message!
How can the current Palestinian leadership honestly say
it will pursue peace when previous leaders rejected an offer to create
a Palestinian state just a few short years ago and now refuse to live
up to their responsibilities as outlined in the Road Map?
This must be a reference to Barak’s so-called “generous offer”,
another of the myths Israelis love to peddle. The West Bank and the
Gaza Strip, seized by Israel in 1967 and occupied ever since, comprise
just 22% of pre-partition Palestine. When the Palestinians signed the
Oslo Agreement in 1993 they agreed to accept the 22% and recognise
Israel within ‘Green Line’ borders (i.e. the 1949 Armistice Line
established after the Arab-Israeli War). Conceding 78% of the land that
was originally theirs was an astonishing compromise on the part of the
Palestinians.
But it wasn’t enough for greedy Barak. His ‘generous offer’ required
the inclusion of 69 Israeli settlements within the 22% remnant. It was
plain to see on the map that these settlement blocs created impossible
borders and already severely disrupted Palestinian life in the West
Bank. Barak also demanded the Palestinian territories be placed under
“Temporary Israeli Control”, meaning Israeli military and
administrative control indefinitely. The ‘generous offer’ also gave
Israel control over all the border crossings of the new Palestinian
State. What nation in the world would accept that? The unacceptable
reality of Barak’s offer, contained in the map, was hidden by
propaganda spin.
Later, at Taba, Barak produced a revised map but withdrew it after
his election defeat. Don’t take my word for it – the facts are well
documented and explained by organisations such as Gush Shalom.
Why is the world so silent about the written, vocal, stated aims of Hamas?
Why is the world so silent about the written, stated aims of the
racist regime and its political parties? Read their manifestos.
Successful communications is not about being able to
recite every fact from the long history of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
It is about pointing out a few core principles of shared values—such as
democracy and freedom—and repeating them over and over again…. You need
to start with empathy for both sides, remind your audience that Israel
wants peace and then repeat the messages of democracy, freedom, and
peace over and over again…. we need to repeat the message, on average,
ten times to be effective.
Is democracy a shared value? Israel is an ethnocracy. Is freedom a
shared value? The world is still waiting for Israel to allow the
Palestinians their freedom.
The situation in the Middle East may be complicated, but
all parties should adopt a simple approach: peace first, political
boundaries second.
Renounce resistance while still under Israel’s jackboot? The correct
approach is for the international community to first insist that Israel
complies with international law and the many UN resolutions it has
contemptuously ignored. The boundaries are already defined. Whatever
issues remain to be decided, Palestinians should not have to negotiate
under occupation or duress.
Rockets, bombs and atrocities: the language of peace
Bottom line: What will happen if we fail to get the
world to care about the fact that Israeli parents in southern Israel
need to literally dodge rockets when they drive their children to
kindergarten in the morning? What will happen if the world allows Iran,
the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, to get nuclear weapons?
What will Israel do if bad press causes American citizens to ask
[their] government to turn its back on Israel?
Why do I care so much about the success of your communications
efforts? I care because I never want our children to live through what
my family and yours lived through in the Holocaust.
Only one in 500 makeshift Qassam rockets causes a fatality, small
beer compared to the devastation and carnage resulting from Israel’s
state-of-the-art rocketry targeted on Gaza. How does it look when
Palestinians are forced to pay a heavy price for the Holocaust in
Europe? And how much does Israel care about the Palestinian holocaust
it has caused?
The manual then gives a long glossary of terms. Here’s a sample….
“Deliberately firing rockets into civilian communities”:
Combine terrorist motive with civilian visuals and you have the perfect
illustration of what Israel faced in Gaza and Lebanon. Especially with
regard to rocket attacks but useful for any kind of terrorist attack,
deliberate is the right word to use to call out the intent behind the
attacks. This is far more powerful than describing the attacks as
“random.”
Israelis know all about bombarding civilian targets. And they are
careful not to mention that Sderot, until recently the only Israeli
township within range of Gazan rockets, is built on the ruins of an
ethnically cleansed Palestinian village whose inhabitants were forced
from their homes by Jewish terrorists.
“Economic Diplomacy”: This is a much more embracing and
popular term than the current lexicon of “sanctions.” It has appeal
across the political spectrum: the tough economic approach appeals to
Republicans, and the diplomacy component satisfies Democrats.
This is a game we can all play. Israel is now beginning to suffer “economic diplomacy” in the form of worldwide boycotts.
“Economic Prosperity”: Whenever Israel talks about the “economic
prosperity” of the Palestinians, it puts Israel in the most positive
light possible. After all, who can disagree?
What sort of prosperity is it when nothing can be imported or
exported without Israel’s approval and fisherman can’t even put to sea
in their own waters without having their boats shot up by the Israeli
navy?
“Human to Human”: “We know that the average Palestinian and the average
Israeli want to come together and make peace. They want to live in
peace. Israeli leaders have come together with Arab leaders to make
peace in the past. But how do you make peace with Hamas and Hezbollah?
Simple. You get off their land and stay off. There can be no peace
under occupation. You have to be very stupid not to understand that.
“Humanize Rockets”: Paint a vivid picture of what life
is like in Israeli communities that are vulnerable to attack. Yes, cite
the number of rocket attacks that have occurred. But immediately follow
that up with what it is like to make the nightly trek to the bomb
shelter.
Would Israel care to tell the world how many bombs, rockets and
shells (including the illegal and prohibited variety) its F-16s, tanks,
armed drones and navy gunboats have poured into the densely-packed
humanity that is Gaza?
Still more advice….
“Living together, side by side”. This is the best way to
describe the ultimate vision of a two-state solution without using the
phrase.
Sounds cute but is worn out. Who would want to live alongside bigots
and extremists who have made your life a misery for 61 years?
When talking about a Palestinian partner, it is essential to
distinguish between Hamas and everyone else. Only the most anti-Israel,
pro- Palestinian American expects Israel to negotiate with Hamas, so
you have to be clear that you are seeking a ‘moderate Palestinian
partner’.
Where are the moderate Israeli partners?
The fight is over IDEOLOGY – not land; terror, not
territory. Thus, you must avoid using Israel’s religious claims to land
as a reason why Israel should not give up land. Such claims only make
Israel look extremist to people who are not religious Christians or
Jews.
If the fight isn’t about land, why did Israel steal it at gunpoint? And why won’t they give it back when told to by the UN?
Think PRO-PALESTINIAN. While I have spoken about Israeli
casualties, I want to recognize those Palestinians that have been
killed or wounded, because they are suffering as well. I particularly
want to reach out to Palestinian mothers who have lost their children.
No parent should have to bury their child.
Israel won’t even allow cement into Gaza to build the graves.
And so I say to my Palestinian colleagues … you can stop
the bloodshed. You can stop the suicide bombings and rocket attacks. If
you really want to, you can put an end to this cycle of violence. If
you won’t do it for our children, do it for your children.
This is recommended to activists as “an effective Israeli sound bite”.
I want to see a future where the Palestinians govern
themselves. Israel does not want to govern a single Palestinian. Not
one. We want them to govern themselves. We want them to have complete
self-determination.
Israel is desperate to snuff out Palestine’s fledgling democracy and
destroy the remnants of its government. For decades Israel has
dismissed the Palestinians’ right to self-determination.
The big picture approach is this: You must isolate Hamas as:
– A critical cause of the delay in achieving a two-state solution
– The biggest source of harm to the Palestinian people, and
– The reason why Israel must defend its people from living in terror.
Read from the Hamas Charter. Now, here’s how to attack Hamas: indict
them with their own indoctrination materials. Yes, people know Hamas is
a terrorist organization – but they don’t know just how terrifying
Hamas can be. The absolute best way to heighten their awareness is to
read from the Hamas Charter itself. Don’t just “quote” from it. Read
it. Out loud. Again and again. Hand it out to everyone.
At last Israel makes a good point. After 3 years of ‘government’
Hamas must be mad to persist with its ill-advised charter. They have
been severely tested. They have matured. They have earned credibility
in many eyes. Israel’s behaviour makes Hamas look good. But all that
will count for nothing if they don’t re-write their charter as a matter
of urgency.
Regev’s pearls of wisdom. But how safe is the region under the threat of Israel’s nukes?
It’s not just Israel who refuses to speak to Hamas. It’s
the whole international community… Most of the democratic world refuses
to have a relationship with Hamas because Hamas has refused to meet the
most minimal benchmarks of international behavior.
Isn’t that a little cheeky, Mr Regev, coming from a regime widely condemned for war crimes, piracy and mega-lawlessness.
It was the former U.N. secretary general Kofi Anan that
put four benchmarks on the table. And he said, speaking for the
international community … That if Hamas reforms itself … If Hamas
recognizes my country’s right to live in freedom … If Hamas renounces
terrorism against innocent civilians … If Hamas supports international
agreements that are being signed and agreed to concerning the peace
process … then the door is open. But unfortunately – tragically – Hamas
has failed to meet even one of those four benchmarks. And that’s why
today Hamas is isolated internationally. Even the United Nations
refuses to speak to Hamas.
Which of those benchmarks has Israel met, Mr Regev?
Israel is very concerned about the Iranian nuclear
program. And for good reason. Iran’s President openly talks about
wiping Israel off the map. We see them racing ahead on nuclear
enrichment so they can have enough fissile material to build a bomb. We
see them working on their ballistic missiles. We only saw, last week,
shooting a rocket to launch a so-called satellite into outer space and
so forth. The Iranian nuclear program is a threat, not just to my
country, but to the entire region. And it’s incumbent upon us all to do
what needs to be done to keep from proliferating.
Why is Israel the only state in the region not to have signed the
Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, Mr Regev? Are we all supposed to
believe that Israel’s 200 (or is it 400?) nuclear warheads pose no
threat? Would you also like to comment on why Israel hasn’t signed the
Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention, and why it has signed but not
ratified the Comprehensive Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty, similarly the
Chemical Weapons Convention? What proof do you have of Iran’s nuclear
weapons plans?
And why do you persist in misquoting Mr Ahmadjinadad?
The Holy City is not up for grabs
The toughest issue to communicate will be the final
resolution of Jerusalem. Americans overwhelmingly want Israel to be in
charge of the religious holy sites and are frankly afraid of the
consequences should Israel turn over control to the Palestinians.
Consider:
• 71% of Americans trust Israel most to protect the holy sites in
Jerusalem, compared to 6.1% who trust the Palestinian authority most.
8.5% percent trust neither.
• 54% of Americans believe that “Jerusalem must remain united under
Israeli sovereignty” while just 23.9% believe that ‘Jerusalem should be
divided into Israeli controlled and Palestinian controlled areas’.
Given the choice between the two, Americans of all political and
demographic stripes trust Israel to protect and have sovereignty over
Jerusalem.
Israel is in control right now and prevents Muslims and Christians
from outside the City visiting the holy places. No way can Israel be
trusted. The UN’s partition plan decreed that Jerusalem should become a
‘corpus separatum’ under international management. It is unlikely that
the UN would wish to see its resolutions torn up or international law
re-written for Israel’s sole benefit, regardless of America’s
misinformed opinion.
Get the name-calling right
I’ll close with the following extract….
Many on the left see an “Israel v. Palestinian” crisis where Israel is Goliath and the Palestinians are David.
It is critical that they understand that this is an Arab-Israeli crisis
and that the force undermining peace is Iran and their proxies
Hezbollah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad. You must not call Hamas just Hamas.
Call them what they are: Iran-backed Hamas. Indeed, when they know that
Iran is behind Hamas and Hezbollah, they are much more supportive of
Israel.
By the same token we must call the racist regime what it is – US-backed Israel.
Iran’s support for Hamas is difficult to quantify and probably less
than we think. It is likely that more funding has come from Sunni Arab
countries such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar. In any case it is peanuts
compared to America’s support for Israel.
Hamas is an offshoot of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhhod and was founded
in 1987 during the first Intifada. Hezbollah came into being in 1982 in
response to US-backed Israel’s invasion of Lebanon. So the territorial
ambitions of US-backed Israel provoked the rise of both. Israel’s
problem is entirely self-inflicted and shouldn’t concern the rest of
us.
It’s no surprise that Hamas’s election manifesto in 2006 called for
maintaining the armed struggle against US-backed Israel’s illegal
occupation of the Palestinian Territories.
Our obligation to respect and promote human rights
The Israel Project describes itself as “devoted to educating the
press and the public about Israel while promoting security, freedom and
peace”. It provides journalists, leaders and opinion-formers with
“accurate information about Israel”.
However its propaganda manual, which runs to 116 pages, is an
unpleasant piece of work which recycles many of the discredited
techniques used by the advertising industry before standards of
honesty, decency and truthfulness were brought in to protect the
public.
And it serves to undermine with clever words the inalienable rights
pledged by the UN and the world’s civilized nations to all peoples,
including the Palestinians.
When you have to stoop this low you simply don’t have a case.
Everyone should bear in mind the following, written nearly 61 years ago:
Now, Therefore THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY proclaims THIS
UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS as a common standard of
achievement for all peoples and all nations, to the end that every
individual and every organ of society, keeping this Declaration
constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote
respect for these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures,
national and international, to secure their universal and effective
recognition and observance, both among the peoples of Member States
themselves and among the peoples of territories under their
jurisdiction.
It would seem that Israel has not read or understood the principles
enshrined in the Universal Declaration, which all nations signed up to.
There can be no excuse. Attempts to wipe out the rights of people who
happen to be in the way of the bulldozing Zionist vision of a ‘Greater
Israel’ deserve no support whatever.
Meanwhile the Palestinian side needs to de-bunk this Zionist
handbook and re-frame the Holy Land situation in the language of truth.
If the PA and the PLO won’t do it, who will?
Maybe it’s a job for the churches and mosques.
Dissident Voice
