Judy Shalom Nir-Moses, wife of the Foreign Minister of Israel:
We don't have a conflict with most of the Arab world. Indeed, my husband keeps trying, in his quiet way, to develop diplomatic relations with countries with which we don't already have them. Our conflict is with the Palestinians. With the rest of the Arab world, we could manage wonderfully. The bottom line is that every mother and father basically wants to raise his children and provide for them. And that goes for Palestinian mothers and fathers as well. All parents feel the same way about their children. And there is no doubt that most of the Palestinian public wants exactly what I want.
The problem lies with the extremists who force them to do things they don't agree with by means of terrorism. Not to mention the education they receive to hate Jews. The first thing Abu Mazen should have done was to revamp the education system and get rid of the old textbooks. Because if you imbibe hate-filled material with your mother's milk, of course you'll hate Jews. I am trying to organize an international mothers' organization for this purpose.
This woman needs to get out more (with or without a Madonna photo op).
