The Hostage Crisis and Palestinian Manipulation
(Jerusalem Post) Alan Baker - The capture of three Israeli youths by a Palestinian terror organization doesn't really seem to bother or interest anyone outside Israel. Moreover, Palestinian propaganda has repeatedly instilled the idea that any action by Israel is wrong. A new book recently published under the auspices of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs exposes the extent to which the Palestinian leadership and institutions are continuously and systematically manipulating the international community, with the aim of advancing the very selective, partisan, misleading and patently false narrative that lies at the root of the present apathy. The writer is a former legal adviser to the Israel Foreign Ministry and former Israeli ambassador to Canada.
