The General's Son. 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. 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.

What i found really funny is your post got 3 stars instantly you posted, which shows those who starred you could not have even watched the 5 min clip you posted, and definitely didn't watch the 25 min interview in under a couple of min, so once again Israeli apologists blindly supporting Israel regardless of her crimes...very sad.

LOL...Welcome to the wonderful world of AIPAC and their fifth-column minions patrolling the internet like the fence in Gaza.
You cannot post anything related to that part of the world without them jumping on like fleas on a dog.
Don't let them derail your thread. Keep it on topic, as they have no moral "high ground". No government that practices genocide and apartheid does.
