Meet the Parents Circle
(FrontPageMagazine) Lee Kaplan - "Palestine Awareness Week," sponsored by the Resource Center for Nonviolence in Santa Cruz, California, featured an Israeli and a Palestinian woman from a group called the Parents Circle, who made presentations to hundreds of local public high school students during regular school hours. Supposedly, both women had family members killed by the opposite side, tragedies that compelled them to reach out to create a "dialogue" in the name of peace and non-violence. It is true that Robi Damelin lost her son, David, a 28-year-old graduate student who was killed while guarding a checkpoint in the West Bank set up to prevent suicide bombers and terrorists from getting into Israel. But Nadwa Saranda explained that her sister, Naela, was supposedly knifed to death in eastern Jerusalem by a "Jewish settler." Yet according to Al Quds, the Palestinian national newspaper, Naela was stabbed in the chest several times near the Jerusalem Municipality building by 23-year-old Mohammed Sha'lan from the village of Hizma, who claimed he thought she was an Israeli.
