The Remarkable Reason Why North Korea Hates Israel

Boaz Arad, an Israeli ex-journalist who is now a photographer/videographer living in Berlin, has tweeted about his experience speaking with North Korea Foreign Ministry officials ten years ago.
When he asks them what’s the beef with Israel, the response is quite unexpected…and remarkable.
The following is a loose translation based off his tweets:
Ten years ago, I came to Pyongyang to cover for Yedioth Ahronoth the largest military parade in North Korean history.
We crowded, journalists and photographers, in Kim Il-sung Square as tens of thousands of soldiers passed us in coordinated steps, followed by tanks and trucks with ballistic missiles, in a scene as if pulled from a film by Lenny Riefenstahl. Above us, on a porch, Kim Jong-il waved at his weeping subjects. Beside him stood Regent Kim Jong-un.
