This review is from: Disclosed: Inside the Palestinian Authority and the PLO (Paperback)

Arlene Kushner is a Jerusalem- based investigative journalist, an associate of the pioneering David Bedein, who in this work makes a through investigation of Palestinian Arab society. She reveals a frighteningly mobilized society .She examines closely Palestinian propaganda and hate as it appears in the daily Media. She is especially good at exposing the role UNRWA has played in fomenting Palestinian terror. The only relief agency founded to help a single people, and the only one which counts as refugees not only the original refugees but all generations of their descendents UNRWA has proven to be a major source of exacerbating the conflict. The great mass of its staff over twenty- thousand are Palestinians many of whom theselves engage in terror . Instead of helping solve a refugee problem UNRWA has perpetuated and deepened it.

Kushner in an interview with Jamie Glazov of FrontPage.Com said of Palestinian society.

"Palestinian society is unique, I think. Such that it has evolved from a more general Arab culture, it has become one of the most extraordinarily negative societies found anywhere. The focus is not on building themselves, but rather on destroying us. When you look at the incitement, which has been rife within the culture for 10 years now, you see that it promotes jihad and becoming a shahid ("martyr"). The Palestinians have been taught that blowing themselves up, in the service of killing Jews, is something that Allah seeks and praises. This behavior is learned, religious/political behavior, not something generated from within the culture.

This book provides an introduction to a society that has devoted itself to evil and destruction, instead of reaching out to the extended hand of peace its neighbor Israel has offered it so many times.

This is an invaluable work for anyone who wishes to understand the true nature of the Arab- Israeli conflict.
