(Jerusalem Post) Butan Amedi - In 1994, when I was a middle school student in Kurdistan, I recall our history teacher saying, "Although the books favor Arabs over Jews, history indicates Jews lived in Jerusalem prior to Muslims." Kurdistan was by then outside the control of Saddam Hussein. Otherwise, the teacher could have easily been executed for making such a comment to students. Last month I was fortunate to visit Israel. At Ben-Gurion Airport I noticed many signs in Arabic. When I bought local currency, I was intrigued that the Israel shekel is printed in Hebrew, Arabic and English. All public signs are printed in Hebrew, Arabic and English. Arab media continuously accuse Israel of trespassing on Muslim holy sites. However, having witnessed many mosques in Tel Aviv, Haifa, Acre and Jerusalem, I saw nothing of the kind. And in Haifa, I heard the Islamic prayer call loudly from a nearby mosque.

The Portrait of Israelis as Portrayed by the Arab Media Is Misleading
