Not a parody: Left wing moshavnik under Gaza fire - her Palestinian peacenik friend would die if revealed her views
In a live interview broadcast this morning (Monday) on Israel Radio Reshet Bet, Roni Keidar, resident of Netiv HaAsara, a moshav that borders on the northern edge of the Gaza Strip and has been subject to intensive attacks, explained that Israel should give the Palestinians what they want.
Keidar, who is a member of Other Voice, gave as her proof that Israel should follow her policy recommendation the fact that she engages in dialogue with a woman in Gaza in English who also seeks peace. Keidar even meets this woman periodically when she accompanies a relative to Israel for monthly medical treatment.
"The two sides each have to share rather than take the position that everything is theirs." Keidar noted.
Keidar, who was being interviewed from Eilat where she was taking a break from the ongoing attacks on her home from Gaza, explained that while she is free to express her views in Israel, her Palestinian friend has to keep her views about peace and reconciliation to herself as it would be "life threatening" for her Palestinian friend if her Palestinian friend's neighbors were to find out her views.
The reporter declined to ask Keidar to address the disconnect between her policy recommendation that Israel give the Palestinians what they want with her belief that Palestinian society would murder an innocent Palestinian only because they advocate peace and reconciliation with Israel.
