Israel's Consul General: Palestinians Have Rejected Every Offer of Compromise
(Forward) Mira Fox - Israel's Consul General for New York Dani Dayan said in an interview on Wednesday that he was pleasantly surprised to discover the extent to which American Jews feel connected to Israel, seeing both the Israeli and the American flag hanging in close proximity when he attended many synagogues during his four years in America. Dayan said that he has never understood boycotting Israel. Jewish solidarity is broken by boycotting. Comparing the relationship between American and Israeli Jews to a sibling relationship, he said that boycotting your brother would break the relationship. If we Jews are a family, any move to cast someone out breaks the family bond. Asked about Palestinian civil rights, Dayan stated that his "conscience is clean" regarding the Palestinians, saying Israel has tried to compromise and the Palestinians have rejected every offer.
