Israel has had a hard time over the years explaining its political position and its need to focus on security. Often we are told to give land, make concessions and then there will be peace. What we have understood for many years, the world still fails to comprehend. The true character of the Palestinian leadership is expressed in its Arabic broadcasts to its people, rather than the polite, peaceful words they mouth in English.
Look how they want peace, claim the Europeans. Yasser Arafat is calling you his partners and begging you to make the "peace of the brave." Trust us, offer the Americans, follow the "roadmap" and it will get you to a final settlement. After more than 50 years, this time the Arabs will meet you at the negotiation table and end the conflict.
Words, we try to explain, just words. The truth is in the buses that are blown up, in the graves we dig each week. Even releasing real footage, taken in the minutes after a bomb explosion, does not seem to have impressed the world. They have yet to understand that the real Palestinian goal is in the mortars they launch every day, each day, almost without fail. It is in the rocks that they throw, in the bullets they shoot at us. It is in the teachings of their children, the sermons of their religious leaders, the hatred broadcast in their newspapers and television programs and the continued calls for more violence.
It isn't often the Palestinians trust the stupidity of the world enough to speak from their hearts. So, they speak in English of peace, of negotiations, of the poor Palestinians only wanting what is rightfully theirs, of the need for work, and the world believes. And, at the same time, in Arabic, they speak of jihad and shaheed, holy wars and martyrdom. They promise their youth glory at the end of the bomb. Eternal life achieved through the murder of the enemy.
