The Abu Mazen Disconnect
(Jerusalem Post)David Horovitz - Along with its cultural and sporting activities, the Ibdaa "cultural center" in Bethlehem is dedicated to the destruction of the State of Israel. Far away, in a remote galaxy, sits Abu Mazen, demanding that the "rejection of the occupation" be expressed without weapons, and here...well, let me describe the brightly-colored paintings that line the entire stairwell. We pass a middle-aged, traditionally dressed Palestinian mother poised to hurl the rock in her outstretched hand, as well as panels naming dozens of villages inside pre-1967 Israel that the thousands of children who use this center are told they will one day rebuild. At the top of the stairs is a life-sized portrait of a young Palestinian man, lighted petrol bomb in hand.
