It is said that converts are the best evangelists. In the case of Israeli author and activist, Miko Peled, that certainly is true. Born to a prominent Israeli military family, his father was a General who was a major figure in both wars against Palestine, in 1948 and 1967, but later in life became a critic of the Israeli state as he became aware of its rampant Zionism and apartheid. His son, Miko, has gone further, and has become a sharp critic of, and major spokesman against Zionist injustice. Today we feature the generalâs son, Miko Peled, doing his thing by speaking out at a Sabeel conference.
Peled's recent book is "Injustice: The Story of the Holy Land Foundation Five" (2018). In it he catalogs the outrageous criminalization and dismantling of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, leading to the fascist-style U.S. arrests, sham trials, and jailings of Foundation President Shukri Abu Baker, Chairman Ghassan Elashi, and three important staff members.
Please forgive the half-dozen or so mid-word flashes of hiss in this recording. We believe they were caused by flawed wireless mike transmission.
