Dear Prudence,

I can't deny that there is a kind of dehumanization of the Palestinians
here and I have endless talks with my sons on this subject. It is all a
thing of education. The main reason for it is the fear  of terror acts and
wars.

From time to time when one of my boys have a remark which can be
interpreted as racist I try to explain and fight it.

When and if... there will be a peace in this area it will take a whole
generation to normalize the relationship between the Arab and Jewish
people living in this area. The hatred based on 100 years of mutual
killing is hard to overcome. (On both sides).

Where does the l00 years figure come from?  According to a friend who fled to
Palestine in l939, there were no problems at that time.  If your sons are
racist, although I don't think Palestinians are of a different race; it's the
religion that seems to be so very different, then all your training is for
naught.  You can take from this that the attitude everywhere in Israel is the
one your sons are expressing.  It is to be expected.  Not however, admired.

I think you should come and visit the "Holy Land" and see by
yourself. The reality looks a bit different than your demagogic
reply.

I don't say everything is perfect here. It's far from the truth. But
it's much easier to be an Arab in Israel than an African American in
certain places in USA.

Take care

I recall meeting a young Israeli physicist who was touring Turkey.  We were
in a party of five--two couples and one young Turkish man.  The small hotel
where we were did not have a room for the young Israeli, so since I was
paying for our Turkish guide, I suggested that the Israeli share that room
and pay the slight difference that two individuals in a room would cost.  He
did so, sharing the room with the Moslem Turk.  The next morning at
breakfast, he told me that he was very surprised at our Turkish guide's sense
of humor.  "Why he makes lots of jokes," he said.   "He's really a very
pleasant fellow.   I never knew that Moslems were like that."

I just laughed and told him that our guide was well known for his sense of
humor, and everyone always found him pleasant company.  Our group climbed up
to see the splendors of that particular site, and the Israeli seemed
perfectly at ease.  His amazement, however, taught me that the Palestinians
have been dehumanized to the Israeli people.  They are just thought of as
idiots with a weird religion.  These are not people worth bothering with.
They have become the Jews of Nazi Germany.  They can go here, but not there.
They can live here but not there.  They can study here but not there.   They
can have this job but not that job, and their poetry is not to be studied.
It goes on and on.  I have accepted the Israeli method of securing their
country.  Don't ask me to admire that method.  Prudy

You mean they're going to let the Palestinians out of the Ghettos someday?
Do the Palestinians have to wear yellow armbands, like the Jews in Nazi

about Israeli becoming more humane custodians of the land they confiscated.

 CRACKING ISRAELI APARTHEID

 "They're asserting historic rights, but if we accept this
 claim the whole country will be theirsThe whole
 ideological basis of setting up a Jewish state is
 slipping away."
Israeli town Mayor

MiD-EasT RealitieS - Washington - 3/30:

The Minister of Education -- from the liberal Meretz Party -- wants to allow
the teaching of a well-known Palestinian poet in Israeli schools.  He is declared
a traitor by the leading Rabbi of Shas, another major party in the same coalition
goverment of former General Ehud Barak.  Then the Attorney General of the same
government opens a criminal investigation against the Rabbi for possible "incitement".

In another development the Israeli Supreme Court issues a narrow ruling saying
"Israeli Arabs" can live in a place where only "Israeli Jews" were allowed to
live before.  But of course this is the same Supreme Court that claims to have
outlawed "torture" in the past; yet somehow those in charge always find loopholes
and in the end things haven't changed nearly as much as some would like the world
to think.

Now one more "amazing admission" in a sense form the Israelis themselves -- that
some land should be given back to the villagers who formerly owned it back in
the time when Israel was created.  The following article appeared this week in
the New York Times about a decision by Israeli Interior Minister Natan Sharansky
to "restore" to the Arab village of Kufr Qasim 250 acres of land expropriated
for the exclusive use of Jews in the 1950s.  Kufr Qasim is well-known to historians
-- it was the site of a notorious massacre of dozens of villagers by Israeli
forces led by the current leader of the Likud Party, Ariel Sharon, in 1956.

Objecting to this possibly precedent-setting decision, the mayor of the Jewish
town to which the land was given spoke more truth than perhaps he intended.
Of the Palestinians who never gave up the struggle to return their land, the
mayor said:

"They're asserting historic rights, but if we accept this claim the whole country
will be theirsThe whole ideological basis of setting up a Jewish state is
slipping away."

If there ever was an admission that the Zionist "ideological" basis for Israel
is the theft of land from its original owners, this simple quotation seems to
be it.   And it's all the more ironic when Israelis themselves object to someone
asserting their "historic rights" when in fact Zionism itself is grounded on
claims precisely based in "historic rights."

Of course the history of the past half-century also is such that the prospects
for basic changes in how Israel operates are not very substantial, even when
a government official steps forward to address one particular wrong or a legal
decision is handed down that seems to contradict the very fabric of Israeli laws
and regulations. Israel has a long history of attention grabbing announcements
which never materialize in reality or which are put into effect in extremely
marginal and limited ways more for "show" than anything else.

Additionally, none of this should obscure the basic fact that the ongoing "peace
process" with its Jews-only "by-pass roads", Arabs-only "free-passage roads",
and hodge-podge of zones this and that and restrictions for here and there is
designed to legitimize the overall dispossession of the Palestinians of most
of their lands and resources; and that Israeli settlement "thickening" and "normal
growth" throughout the occupied territories still actually continues to this
day.

But even so, the contradictions and cracks in the very fabric of how Israeli
law and custom currently define right and wrong in the area once known as "The
Holy Land" (the actual expression Ehud Barak used upon first greeting the Pope
earlier this month") should be understood and appreciated.
