Wake Up Palestine – The Mysterious Neighbors
What does Israeli society know about the Palestinians.
Jerusalem24 – Wake Up Palestine – In a recent news report, an Israeli said, “Israelis don’t know about Palestinian society. Even I don’t know much. There is a huge gap between what we think we know and what is presented.”
The man’s statements coincided with a recent study, that Israeli-Jews have only a minimal knowledge of the Palestinians and even of Palestinians living in Israel.
Despite the ethnic cleansing of 1948, and the subsequent Israeli occupation and two intifadas; Israelis know very little about the people whose lives they control.
In this episode of Wake Up Palestine, Mohammad Hamayel discusses the knowledge Israeli society may or may not have of Palestinians with expert, Chris Whitman.
