The real truth about Israel - Who is responsible

College Tour is a Dutch television program in which students can ask a question to the host of the program. Guest today is Shimon Peris, an Israeli politician, the ninth Prime Minister of Israel. In 1934 he moved with his parents to the city of Tel Aviv in Palestine. He went to the Geula School in Tel Aviv, and then to the Ben Shemen Agricultural School. In 1947 he joined the Haganah, the predecessor of the current Israeli Defense Forces. Miko Peled is born and raised in Jerusalem in 1961, Peled grew up in a prominent Zionist family; his grandfather signed Israel's Declaration of Independence. His father, Mattityahu Peled, fought in the 1948 war and served as a general in the war of 1967; later, after the Israeli cabinet ignored his investigation of a brutal 1967 Israeli war crime, he became a peace activist and leading proponent of an Israeli dialogue with the PLO. He condemned the Israeli military for illegally seizing the West Bank, Gaza, Sinai and the Golan Heights, calling the war a "cynical campaign of territorial expansion". He was marginalized and shunned for his activism and call for a two-state solution. Miko Peled followed his father's footsteps at first, joining Israel's Special Forces after high school and earning the red beret, but he soon grew to regret his decision. He surrendered his status as soon as he earned it, becoming a medic, and finally, disgusted by the 1982 Lebanon invasion, he buried his service pin in the dirt. He then distanced himself from activism until 1997, becoming a sixth-degree black belt in karate and moving first to Japan, then to San Diego. In 1997, Peled's 12-year-old niece Smadar was killed in a suicide attack in Jerusalem; this tragedy, and his sister Nurit's insistence that it was caused by the occupation, inspired Peled to closely examine the history of Palestine and Israel and became the starting point for his life-long activism. He came to the conclusion that the two-state solution his father had promoted would no longer suffice, and he now advocates for the creation of a single democratic state with equal rights for Israelis and Palestinians. He claims that the current situation is an apartheid regime that must go, and that a single-state solution is closer than many people think because of the changing mindsets of many Israelis, American Jews, and holocaust survivors. He has travelled in Palestine, teaching karate to children in refugee camps and doing nonviolent activism, and this once led to his detainment by Israeli soldiers for illegally entering Area A.He left his karate school to go on tour, speaking about his experiences and promoting his book; he has given lectures in the US, Canada, Australia, and the UK, and he has plans to visit New Zealand and Malaysia. He also authors a blog that is dedicated to creating peace between Israelis and Palestinians, to tearing down Israel's separation wall, and advocating equal rights for Israelis and Palestinians. Peled is the author of The General's Son: Journey of an Israeli in Palestine, a book which chronicles his personal journey from being a Zionist to an outspoken advocate of peace and a single-state solution in Israel and Palestine.
