Museum chronicles Palestinian violence

[DLC]

A new Israeli exhibit gives visitors a disturbing view of nearly four years of violence with the Palestinians: a female mannequin strapped with an explosives belt, alongside piles of confiscated weapons and documents showing how Palestinian militant groups operate.

The display, with grisly scenes of terror attacks and documents purporting to show that Palestinian officials are involved in violence, is a new element in an Israeli effort to fix the blame for nearly four years of conflict on the Palestinians.

Palestinians, who blame Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza and harsh military measures for the bloodshed, denounce the display, saying it will only create more animosity.

The originator of the museum at the Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center, which opened this month next to an army base just outside Tel Aviv, says the exhibit shows that support for the militants runs deep throughout Palestinian society.

"The goal is to try to present the terror, the society that supports terror, as they are expressed in these documents and the weapons that were found" in Israeli army operations, said Reuven Ehrlich, a retired colonel in Israeli military intelligence, founder and director of the center.
