Truer words not spoken


Speaking about his recent participation in defying the Israeli blockade of Gaza, peace activitist and Jewish Israeli Jeff Halper said of Gaza: "It's the opposite of what the Israeli public thinks. They think that Gaza is all Hamas and they hate Israelis. But if they knew the truth, they'd have to say there is a basis for peacemaking here." Why doen't the Israeli public know the truth? because the Israeli government ensures no contact between Palestinians and Israeli citizens. It is against the law. And the Israeli government's propaganda is aimed at demonizing all Palestinians.
