David Bedein: Israel at 78: Some Uncomfortable Truths
David Bedein, A Journalist in Jerusalem since 1970.
People have no idea that there is no pretense of a ceasefire in the Middle East.
There is, instead, a hudna, which, according to Islamic tradition, can be broken at any
time.
People have no idea that Israel freed between 1850 and 4,000 convicted terrorists to
Get back the kidnapped hostages.
The unkindest cut of all: Not one Israel or American news outlet has run a single
news feature about the trauma faced by families who watch as convicted murderers of
Their loved ones run free.
People have no idea that the Palestine Security Forces, funded by the US, Canada
and the UK as a peacekeeping force, now trains a new generation to kill Jews.
People have no idea that the PA, now forming a Palestinian State, is recognized by 135
Nations will not cancel their charter to liquidate the Jewish state.
People have no idea that not one of the 135 Palestinian donor nations demands that
The new Palestinian State cancel its genocidal charter.
People have no idea that the PA continues to reinforce its unprecedented law that if
you murder a Jew, you get a salary for life.
People have no idea that UNRWA continues to confine Arabs descended from
refugees who left Israel after 1948, to the degradation of life in perpetuity in refugee camps
People have no idea that the Palestinian jihadist curriculum remains unchanged.
People have no idea that while UNRWA closed its schools in Jerusalem, the other 58
UNRWA schools are open for the business-as-usual of teaching Israel-hate.
People have no idea that none of the 67 nations that donate $1.6 billion to finance
UNRWA has never demanded a change in what they teach. On the other hand,
diplomats at the German embassy in Israel told us that they have been assured that
Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas submitted the Palestinian curriculum with
UNESCO for approval. However, Abbas’ office stated that Abbas made an
appointment with UNESCO to discuss the curriculum and did not show up.

Confused by these Middle East truths? I am guided by the expression, LET MY
PEOPLE KNOW, coined by Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz, whom I learned from more than 50
years ago at the Pardes Institute in Jerusalem. People simply do not know the truh of
what goes on in Israel.
