Embassy of Israel Briefing

It is said that while words may hurt, they certainly don't kill. All too vividly, however, the horrific Palestinian violence of the past 33 months appears to indicate otherwise. In their media, mosques, and even elementary school textbooks, we have witnessed relentless Palestinian incitement to violence against Jews. In turn, this rash of Palestinian hatred has claimed the lives of over 850 Israelis and maimed 5000 more.
Silvan Shalom, the foreign minister of Israel, has expressed his wholehearted belief that "stopping incitement is the only way to reach real peace." CLICK HERE to read the Silvan Shalom's op-ed in the July 14th Washington Post.
