His grandfather, Dr Avraham Katsnelson, was a Zionist leader and signatory to the May 14, 1948 Israeli Declaration of Independence. <br />...<br />Peled recounted several life changing episodes -- including the death of his niece from a suicide bombing attack in 1997 and the deaths of children of several Palestinian friends -- that pushed him to discover and understand the true nature of Israel's ongoing war on Palestinians that was having such a devastating impact on his family and friends.<br /><br />He is now a fearless campaigner for one secular state for Palestinians and Israelis in which all live in equality.<br />...<br />Peled was asked to brief the ALP’s foreign affairs committee in Canberra. He said he was asked some strange questions in response to his argument for one democratic secular state. Someone asked, “But wouldn’t the Arabs outnumber Jews if there was a single state?” Peled answered, “Yes. And?”<br /><br />Responding to foreign minister Kevin Rudd’s accusations that BDS was “anti-Semitic”, Peled said there is no comparison. <br /><b>“Then, the Jews were victims.
