I give the podium to Miko Peled to do some Jewsplainin'. Miko was born in Jerusalem in 1961. He grew up in Motza Illit to a prominent Zionist family; his grandfather, Avraham Katznelson, for whom he was named after, signed Israel's Declaration of Independence. His father, Mattityahu Peled, fought in the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and served as a general in the Six-Day War of 1967; later, after the Israeli cabinet ignored his investigation of a 1967 alleged Israeli war crime, he became an advocate for an Israeli dialog with the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). He condemned the Israeli military for seizing the West Bank, Gaza, Sinai and the Golan Heights, calling the war a "cynical campaign of territorial expansion". Palestinian activist Susan Abulhawa has described Peled's father, who died in 1995, as "a man that many of us Palestinians could not figure out whether to love or hate" and whom "many notable Palestinians" nicknamed "Abu Salam" (Father of Peace).
If that doesn't give him credibility, I don't know what would!
OK. Maybe that he's the General's Son!
