MIKO PELED SPEAKS THE TRUTH: The General’s Son on Palestine’s Reality

Print this post.

MIKO PELED IS A PEACE ACTIVIST  who dares to say in public what others still choose to deny. Born in Jerusalem in 1961 into a well known Zionist family, his grandfather, Dr. Avraham Katsnelson was a Zionist leader and signer of the Israeli Declaration of Independence. His Father, Matti Peled, was a young officer in the war of 1948 and a general in the war of 1967 when Israel conquered the West Bank, Gaza, Golan Heights and Sinai.

Miko’s unlikely opinions reflect his father’s legacy. General Peled was a war hero turned peacemaker.
PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW. IT WILL TEACH YOU THE TRUTH ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE INTENTIONALLY MUDDLED UP ISRAELI/PALESTINIAN CONFLICT, AND GIVE YOU A MUCH NEEDED BOOST IN OUR FAITH IN THE HUMAN SPIRIT TO CONQUER EVEN LONGSTANDING HATREDS BUILT ON CRIMES AND LIES.  

Miko grew up in Jerusalem, a multi-ethnic city, but had to leave Israel before he made his first Palestinian friend, the result of his participation in a dialogue group in California. He was 39.

On September 4, 1997 the beloved Smadar, 13, the daughter of Miko’s sister Nurit and her husband Rami Elhanan was killed in a suicide attack.

Peled insists that Israel/Palestine is one state—the separation wall notwithstanding, massive investment in infrastructure, towns and highways that bisect and connect settlements on the West Bank, have destroyed the possibility for a viable Palestinian state. The result, Peled says is that Israelis and Palestinians are governed by the same government but live under different sets of laws.
At the heart of Peled’s conclusion lies the realization that Israelis and Palestinians can live in peace as equals in their shared homeland.

  • @zigarelai couldn’t have said it better. this is what God had in mind when IT created us, and not the self-serving, indifferent, scared zombies that many of us have become. at some point in our lives, we have to wake up and stand strongly against what is wrong. what israel and USA are doing to palestinians is just plain wrong. even if it kills us, it’s better than living a mediocre life of selling out.

  • There are many, many righteous Jews who support freedom for the Palestinians. How many of us in America feel powerless to stop the killing going on in foreign lands done by American forces? Thank God, some brave people, such as this man, are not afraid to put their lives on the line to fight injustice. May God bless them all. I have no idea if a God exists but if IT does IT will bless these brave souls.
