But by the end of the work day, a mere 27 activists had managed to land in Israel. They were quickly detained and deported.</p><br /><p>The stunt was largely thwarted by Israel loudly publicizing the fact that it would deny entry to the activists, insisting that they were arriving for the sole purpose of provoking unrest. As a result, most airlines cancelled the activists' tickets rather than be billed for their return flights upon deportation from Israel. Unable to even reach Israel, hundreds of the activists demonstrated at an airport in Paris.</p><br /><p>Those who did make it to Israel were presented an official letter of welcome by Israel's Foreign Ministry. The wry letter read:</p><br /><br /><blockquote><br /><br /><p>Dear activist,</p><br /><p>We appreciate your choosing to make Israel the object of your humanitarian concerns. We know there were many other worthy choices.<br /></p><br /><p>You could have chosen to protest they Syrian regime's daily savagery against its own people, which has claimed thousands of lives.<br /></p><br /><p>You could have chosen to protest the Iranian regime's brutal crackdown on dissent and support of terrorism throughout the world.<br /></p><br /><p>You could have chosen to protest Hamas rule in Gaza, where terror organizations commit a double war crime by firing rockets at civilians and hiding behind civilians.<br /></p><br /><p>But instead you chose to protest against Israel, the Middle East's sole democracy, where women are equal, the press criticizes the government, human rights organizations can operate freely, religious freedom is protected for all and minorities do not live in fear.</p><br /><br /><p>Therefore we suggest to let you solve first the real problems of the region, and then come back and share with us your experience.<br /></p><br /><p>Have a nice flight.</p></blockquote><br /><br /><br /><p>The letter was seen as a public relations victory, as it strongly highlighted the grossly exaggerated attention paid to Israel and its conflict with the Palestinian Arabs, a conflict that pales in comparison with so many other crises around the world. <span style="color:red;">For many, it is that gross exaggeration, that irrational obsession with what "the Jews" are doing, that marks such schemes as anti-Semitic</span>.</p></div></blockquote><a href="http://www.israeltoday.co.il/NewsItem/tabid/178/nid/23189/language/en-US/Default.aspx" target="blank">http://www.israeltoday.co.il/NewsItem/tabid/178/nid/23189/language/en-US/Default.aspx</a> <br /><p></p><br /><br /><p>Israel to 'thank' fly-in activists in mocking letter<br />Jerusalem Post<br />14 Apr 2012<br /><br />By HERB KEINON, YAAKOV LAPPIN, TOVAH LAZAROFF<br /><br />Israel plans to bar entry by some 2,000 activists from at least 15 different countries, mostly in Europe, either by preventing them from boarding their flights or by deporting them once they arrive.<br /><br />The activists want to draw attention to Israel's practice of barring foreigners it believes could cause trouble by engaging in pro-Palestinian activities during their visit.<br /><br />The letter - drawn up in the Prime Minister's Office - noted, that the activists "could have chosen to protest the Syrian regime's daily savagery against its own people, which has claimed thousands of lives."<br /><br />Alternatively, they could have chosen to protest "the Iranian regime's brutal crackdown on dissent and support of terrorism throughout the world." Or, if they simply had to come to this part of the globe, they "could have chosen to protest Hamas rule in Gaza, where terror organizations commit a double war crime by firing rockets at civilians and hiding behind civilians."<br /><br />Instead, "you chose to protest against Israel, the Middle East's sole democracy, where women are equal, the press criticizes the government, human rights organizations can operate freely, religious freedom is protected for all and minorities do not live in fear."<br /><br />The letter concludes with a suggestion that the activists first solve "the real problems of the region" and then "come back and share with us your experience."<br /><br />In an indication that Israel will not let the protesters in but will instead deport them back to their countries of origin, the letter ends with the line: "Have a nice flight."<br /><br />Meanwhile, Foreign Ministry officials said Saturday night that responsibility for dealing with the flytilla was in the hands of the Public Security Ministry, which will be in contact with the consulates of the countries whose nationals are to be barred from entering the country.<br /><br />The Foreign Ministry has over the past few weeks been in discussions with its counterparts in capitals around the world, explaining Israel's position regarding the fly-in and making clear that those coming to engage in provocative actions would not be given an entry visa.<br /><br />Israeli authorities circulated to the airlines the names of some 1,200 pro-Palestinian activists expected to participate, in the hope that the companies would prevent them from boarding.<br /><br />One official explained that if someone flies into a country without the necessary visa or is not given that visa when he or she lands, the responsibility - and expense - for flying the person back falls on the airline.<br /><br />Already on Wednesday, Amnon Shmueli, who heads the Immigration Authority at Ben- Gurion Airport, sent a letter to all airlines with a list of names of the people it believed were planning on participating in flytilla, according to a document posted on its website.<br /><br />The document said, "Due to statements of pro-Palestinian radicals to arrive on commercial flights from abroad to disrupt order and confront security forces at friction points, it was decided to deny their entry."<br /><br />"Attached is a list of passengers that are denied entry to Israel. In light of the above mentioned, you are ordered not board them on your flights," the letter states.<br /><br />"Failure to comply with this directive will result in sanctions against the airlines."<br /><br />According to the website, already as early as Tuesday a foreign visitor from Sweden who entered Israel from Eilat was asked to sign a pledge not to be a member of a pro-Palestinian organization, not to be in contact with any pro-Palestinian organizations and not to participate in pro-Palestinian activities.<br /><br />Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch confirmed Saturday night that Israel had asked airlines not to board fly-in passengers.<br /><br />"They acted pretty much accordingly," he said.<br /><br />The public security minister, who is in charge of Israel's response to the flytilla, said a passenger plane with activists could land in Israel as early as Saturday night.<br /><br />"We've started initial preparations tonight," he said on Saturday.<br /><br />"Tomorrow is the main day.... Clear instructions have been given to police, the interior minister... to prevent provocations and not allow disturbances at Ben-Gurion Airport."<br /><br />Those identified by Israel as provocateurs who manage to circumvent the no-fly lists and land in Israel will be "isolated from the central airport," Aharonovitch said.<br /><br />Activists who get past all of Israel's measures "will be arrested if they cause disturbances," he added.<br /><br />Two European airlines, Jet2.com and Lufthansa, told passengers on Friday that they planned to comply with Israel's demands, according to the Welcome to Palestine website.<br /><br />Jet2 advised passengers that Israel had denied them entry and as such they might not be able to board their flights. Lufthansa informed the passengers in question that their tickets had been canceled.<br /><br />The pro-Palestinian website #Airflotilla2 uploaded a scanned image of one of the tickets canceled by Lufthansa and reported that the same notification had been sent to dozens of activists on Thursday, informing them that their reservations had been canceled "by order of Israel."<br /><br />Hundreds of unarmed police officers will guard the airport on Sunday, when anywhere from 500 to 1,000 activists try to land in Israel, according to police estimates.<br /><br />Sunday is expected to be one of Israel's busiest air travel days, with some 45,000 passengers landing and taking off from Ben-Gurion.<br /><br />Central police district chief Cmdr. Bentsi Sao will oversee the operation, which is aimed at ensuring routine at the airport.<br /><br />Palestinian activist Mazin Qumsiyeh, a professor at Bethlehem University and one of the organizers of the event, said that Israel was only harming itself with its "hysterical" reaction.<br /><br />"Why do they want people to lie to them at the airport?" he asked. "Why can't they say they are coming to visit us in Bethlehem?"<br /><br /><i>Jerusalem Post staff contributed to this report.</i><br /><a

leader admits "Palestinian" identity is invented ( fakestinians)<p>Hamas leader admits ‘Palestinian’ identity is invented<br /><br />Tuesday, April 03, 2012 Ryan Jones </p><br /><br /><p>US Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich has come under a lot of fire for saying that the “Palestinians” are an invented people. Most have ridiculed Gingrich by pointing out there are clearly millions of Arabs living in so-called “Palestine.”</p><br /><br /><p>But Gingrich wasn’t talking about the physical presence of those people today, but rather the national identity they have adopted and the fact that most immigrated to the land not so long ago.</p><br /><br /><p>In a televised address on Al-Hekma TV last week, Hamas Minister of the Interior and of National Security Fathi Hammad basically backed up Gingrich’s assessment, acknowledging that the roots of most “Palestinians” are elsewhere in the Middle East, and that the Palestinian label is only a thin veneer.</p><br /><br /><p>Those pushing for a Palestinian state try to paint the Palestinian<span id="more-66"></span> Arabs as somehow distinct from the Arabs round-about, and therefore in need of their own state. Not so, said Hammad. “Every Palestinian, in Gaza and throughout Palestine, can prove his Arab roots – whether from Saudi Arabia, from Yemen, or anywhere. We have blood ties.”</p><br /><br /><p>More than that, Hammad stated that the true regional background of most “Palestinians” is not in “Palestine.”</p><br /><br /><p>“Brothers, half of the Palestinians are Egyptians and the other half are Saudis,” exclaimed the Hamas minister.</p><br /><br /><p>Hammad’s remarks were undoubtedly never intended for a Western audience. Rather, he was pleading with Egypt and other neighboring states to supply Hamas-ruled Gaza with free fuel, which Hammad said Hamas would use “in order to continue to wage Jihad.”</p><br /><br /><p>[h/t <a href="http://elderofziyon.blogspot.com/2012/04/hamas-leader-half-of-palestinians-are.html">Elder of Ziyon</a>]<br /><br /><a href="http://www.israeltoday.co.il/NewsItem/tabid/178/nid/23179/language/en-US/Default.aspx">http://www.israeltoday.co.il/NewsItem/tabid/178/nid/23179/language/en-US/Default.aspx</a></p><br /><br /><p>Clip Transcript<br /><br />March 23, 2012 Clip No. 3389<br /><br />Hamas Minister of the Interior and of National Security Fathi Hammad Slams Egypt over Fuel Shortage in Gaza Strip, and Says: “Half of the Palestinians Are Egyptians and the Other Half Are Saudis.”<br /><br /><a href="http://www.memritv.org/clip_transcript/en/3389.htm" target="blank">http://www.memritv.org/clip_transcript/en/3389.htm</a></p><br /><br /><p>Middle East Media Sampler for April 6, 2012<br /><br /><a href="http://www.gloria-center.org/2012/04/middle-east-media-sampler-for-april-6-2012/" target="blank">http://www.gloria-center.org/2012/04/middle-east-media-sampler-for-april-6-2012/</a></p><br /><br /><p>The Eternal Liberation Movement – Caroline Glick – Townhall<br /><br />Caroline Glick<br /><br />Apr 07, 2012</p><br /><br /><p>Hamas terror boss Fathi Hamad is a notable figure. Hamad is both the director of Hamas’s al-Aksa television station and the terror group’s “minister” of the interior and national security. His double portfolio is a clear expression of the much ignored fact that for terrorists, propaganda is inseparable from violence.</p><br /><br /><p>Hamad’s key posts make him a man worth listening to. His statements necessarily indicate Hamas’s general direction.</p><br /><br /><p>On March 23, Hamad was interviewed by Egypt’s Al Hekma television station. The interview was translated by MEMRI.</p><br /><br /><p>Hamad made two central points. First, he claimed that the Palestinian war against Israel is the keystone of the global jihad. Second, he said the Palestinians are not a distinct people, but transplanted Egyptians and Saudis.</p><br /><br /><p>In his words, “At al-Aksa and on the land of Palestine, all the conspiracies, throughout history, have been shattered – the conspiracies of the Crusaders, and the conspiracies of the Tatars. At al- Aksa and on the land of Palestine, the Battle of Hattin was waged. The [West] does not want this noble history to repeat itself, because the Jews and their allies would be annihilated – the Zionists, the Americans and the imperialists.</p><br /><br /><p>“Thus, the conspiracy is very clear. Al-Aksa and the land of Palestine represent the spearhead for Islam and for the Muslims. Therefore, when we seek the help of our Arab brothers, we are not seeking their help in order to eat, to live, to drink, to dress, or to live a life of luxury. No. When we seek their help, it is in order to continue to wage Jihad.”</p><br /><br /><p>Hamad next explained, “Brothers, half of the Palestinians are Egyptians and the other half are Saudis. Who are the Palestinians? We have many families called Al-Masri, [Egyptians] whose roots are Egyptian. Egyptian! They may be from Alexandria, from Cairo, from Dumietta, from the North, from Aswan, from Upper Egypt. We are Egyptians.”</p><br /><br /><p>What Hamad’s interview tells us is that today Hamas – the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood – is more interested in unity with Muslim Brotherhood-dominated Egypt than with Fatah. Whereas in the past it joined Fatah in obscuring the direct link between the jihad against the Jews and the jihad against the non-Muslim world, today it seeks to emphasize the connection. To this end, Hamas is willing to abandon the myth of Palestinian nativism and acknowledge that the Palestinians are an artificial people, invented for the purpose of advancing the global jihad in the key battlefield of Israel.<br /><br /><a href="http://townhall.com/columnists/carolineglick/2012/04/07/the_eternal_liberation_movement" target="blank">http://townhall.com/columnists/carolineglick/2012/04/07/the_eternal_liberation_movement</a></p><br /><br /><p>____</p><br /><br /><br /><ul><br /><li>As the '<a href="http://radiobergen.org/history/liefact.html">director of the Institute of Women Today and founder and a member of the board of the National Coalition of American Nuns</a>,' wrote in the Chicago Tribune (1983): <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22The+massive+Arab+immigration+into+Palestine+during+the+Mandate+period+accounts+for+roughly+75+percent+of+the+supposedly+%22Palestinian%22+population+present%22&tbs=nws:1,ar:1&source=newspapers"><i>The massive Arab immigration into Palestine during the Mandate period accounts for roughly 75 percent of the supposedly "Palestinian" population present at the time of the partition in 1948</i></a>.</li><br /><br /><br /><br /><li>Or as a Professor stated (1973): <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=5sRtAAAAMAAJ&q=%22majority+of+%22Palestinians%22+were+themselves+Immigrants+or+sons+or+grandsons+of+immigrants+from+other+Arab+lands%22"><i>Obviously the great majority of "Palestinians" were themselves Immigrants or sons or grandsons of immigrants from other Arab lands, that came to partake of the prosperity generated by the Jews.

Palestine: 'Dead Arab child' photo, the most worshiped idol, after Allah<P align=center><b><font size=4>Islamic Palestine: 'Dead Arab child' photo, the most worshiped idol, after Allah</font></b></p><P><br /><br />Asalaamu Alaikum, this is "oppressed" Palestine, did you get our latest (freshly pressed) 'dead Arab child' photo?</p><P><br /><br />During the 2006 Gaza war, al-Jazeera cameras were hooked fixed 24/7 at one place, the Gaza hospital. Not at the Arab-Islamic hideouts in civilian areas where they fire their missiles directly on to Israeli residential homes, schools. Not one mosque of the official Gaza leadership's Hamas "gunmen" was seen. Nor families' backyards. The most populated areas, all preferable 'launchpads' holding -basically- their entire population, as hostage.<br /><br />Objective, clear again, to shock the Arab/Muslim youth, to indoctrinate, to poison, to 'vitalize' the sick victimhood, especially when it comes to their racist war on the Jews.</p><P><br /><br />Why is it so important, so religious-like, for the Arab-Islamic leadership (religious and political) to 'provide' these images?</p><P><br /><br /><b>The goal</b>:<br /><br />Justifying the continuing violence against Jews, polishing efforts to a greater genocide, or at least, for now a complete ethno-religious cleansing of the population that is neither Arab, nor Muslim.</p><P><br /><br /><b>Method</b>:<br /><br />Vilification of Israel. Portraying the Zionists as just 'after civilians.' Building up anger in the 'Arab street.' Thus, facilitating both, 1.) rationalization of targeting Israeli Jews [even though, in fact, Arabs started it all, without "provocation, since the 1920s. But who cares about history, when you hear so much nonsense of a so-called "indigenous" people by a culture who's mostly immigrant]. 2.) Recruiting more anti-Jewish murderers.</p><P><br /><br /><b>Tool</b>:<br /><br />The most 'powerful weapon,' a graphic 'dead kid' to show how "bad" Israel is, the psychology is clear, the audience doesn't think how this happened, when 'overwhelmed' by the photo. This is exactly why Arab-Islamic "Palestine" cult invests so much in amassing such images. Tactics on getting such images vary:</p><P><br /><br />1.) Simply fake photo (Like Khulood Badawi's tweet of March 10, 2012, presenting a 2006 accidental death as a "recent" IDF fault).</p><P><br /><br />2.) Altered photo (Pallywood).</p><P><br /><br />3.) Getting the cameras ready (or have a pro-jihad cameraman) at the dangerous location, as soon as someone isn't saved by humane Israel evacuating the unarmed before an anti-Terrorists operation...</p><P><br /><br /><b>'Death' goes on...</b></p><P><br /><br />And so the story goes on, from Hezbollah's crimes against humanity to Hamas, to "moderate" Fatah's fighters. But if anyone is ever really concerned about 'dead Arab kids,' the real ones, one should act, voice, protest Arabs' devilish tactics upon their population.</p><br /><P><br />Islamists to Zionists: We'll make sure our kids die, so we can kill yours, easier!</p><br /><div><font size="1">Tags: <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/al-dura/" rel="tag">al-Dura</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/arab-racism/" rel="tag">Arab racism</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/arabs/" rel="tag">Arabs</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/dead-arab-kids/" rel="tag">dead Arab kids</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/fakestinians/" rel="tag">fakestinians</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/gaza/" rel="tag">Gaza</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/history/" rel="tag">History</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/human-shields/" rel="tag">human shields</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/infidels/" rel="tag">infidels</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/islamic-bigotry/" rel="tag">Islamic bigotry</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/islamists/" rel="tag">Islamists</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/islamofascism/" rel="tag">Islamofascism</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/israel/" rel="tag">Israel</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/jews/" rel="tag">Jews</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/jihad/" rel="tag">Jihad</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/mohamed-merah/" rel="tag">Mohamed Merah</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/mohammed-merah/" rel="tag">Mohammed Merah</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/muslims/" rel="tag">Muslims</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/palestinians/" rel="tag">Palestinians</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/pallywood/" rel="tag">PALLYWOOD</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/radical-islam/" rel="tag">radical Islam</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/rashid-baz/" rel="tag">Rashid Baz</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/self-infliction/" rel="tag">self infliction</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/using-civilians/" rel="tag">using civilians</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/zionism/" rel="tag">Zionism</a>.</font></div>Free Israelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15467911264414815790noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27386338.post-80217924650553499032012-03-22T19:01:00.004-07:002012-03-23T04:31:47.460-07:00Arab racism manufactures fraud of 'Palestinian suffering"<b>Arab-Islamic Palestinianism's rule number 1: Kill, then demonize the victims in order to kill some more.</b><P><br /><br />No one ever suggests that there are people who are incapable of experiencing any pain. But for a "culture" to lie, exaggerate and invent most of it, and even suggest that most of their suffering is not due to their own fault, is exactly that, fraud.<P><br /><br />As NYTimes bestselling book author M. Evans said: <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?pageId=98947">Make no mistake: Arab racism is killing Jews</a>, I say, make no mistake, Arab racism manufactures the fraud of "Palestinian" suffering. The racism which was <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=Lzs48d3tudsC&pg=PT86">Islamicized</a>. The same bigotry seeks justification to its crimes by converting the <a href="http://archive.frontpagemag.com/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=28955">Arab-Palestinian aggressor</a> into a "victim."<P><br /><br />This is why the "Palestinian" victimhood is propagated also by anti-Jewish Neo-Nazi elements like KKK's David Duke and others. Because the true source of it all, is pure anti-Jewish demonization. Why of course "white" <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=XH8qTS5xNUIC&pg=PA100">Nazis hate the "brown" Arab race</a> [regarded by Hitler as <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=SX4B7pNG3W8C&pg=PA122">monkey</a> like] as well.<P><br /><br />Lies, ever since the Arab Palestinian <a href="http://www.peacefaq.com/palestinians.html">entity</a> was founded (in the <a href="http://books.google.com/books?&id=1tAMAQAAMAAJ&q=Al-+Kiyan+Al-Falastin">1960s'</a>) in falsehood, telling a tale of "natives," while in fact, <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=yqk3XE196GsC&pg=PA539">most of its populations</a> has no more than 2 or 3 generations in the historic land of the Jews. It's <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=lhpSsirAcLUC&pg=PA36">OK to start "nationhood" at some point, but not upon an outrageous lie of being "indigenous"</a> and a complete <a href="http://www.hirhome.com/israel/pal_mov.htm">racist</a> exclusion of another group, whose historic roots are so strong.<P><br /><br />Worth mentioning the self-inflicted Naqba, whereas the <a href="http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/opinion/the-palestinian-narrative-is-a-falsification-of-history-1.322588">Arab-Palestinian narrative is a falsification of history</a>. Author: <a href="http://rslissak.com/content/nakba-day-and-fraud-ben-dror-yemini">The Nakba - the story of the Palestinian refugees - is the greatest success story in the history of modern times, a success that is a complete fraud</a>.<P><br /><br />The virus of Palestinianism-Fakestinianism <a href="http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.11187/pub_detail.asp">nonsense</a> is wide spread. Even MSM like NYTimes falls for the syndrome of <a href="http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2012/03/ny_times_stokes_palestinian_victimhood_ignores_self-inflicted_wounds.html">ignoring self-inflicted wounds</a>.<P><br /><br />The fake victimhood that 'lives' off of self-orchestrated 'dead Arab kids,' who are usually, either casualties by their (parents, mentors, exploiters, etc.) adults' fault or by accidents. Besides, <a href="http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/12/idfs_unparalleled_record_of_sparing_civilians_in_counter-terrorism_operations.html">most casualties by Israel are guilty combatants, most casualties by the Arabs are innocent non-combatants</a> victims.<P><br /><br />Of course the Arab adults "fighters" are not just the murderers of Israeli children but of Arab children as well. What? The Arab-Islamists are fighting a so-called "resistance" (whatever that means)? Let them man up and crawl out of their hidings among civilians, let them abandon the safeness of crowded places where they know the humane IDF, despite its amazing effort (how does <a href="http://www.jpost.com/Israel/Article.aspx?ID=179244">over a quarter of a million phone calls to private homes and mobile phones warning people to leave</a> sound?), has so much difficulties in evacuating the area from non-combatants. Where they know fully well, that no matter what, kids are going to die, and that's only because of their "holy war."<P><br /><br />Ask the 'Palestinian authority' this: How many Jewish and Arab kids were massacred because of the racist Arab bluff of "<a href="http://www.seconddraft.org/aldurah.php">al-Dura</a> boy -<a href="http://www.jewishwindsor.org/page.aspx?ID=171827">wrongly played as if killed by IDF</a>- which was the banner, under which the so-called "al-Aqsa" intifada was launched, whereby an intensification began of homicide bombers by radical and official mainstream "Palestinian" Arabs and <a href="http://jcpa.org/jl/vp441.htm">use of kids</a> as human bombs/shields?<P><br /><br />The recent Arab-Muslim massacre of Jews in Toulouse, France, where little Jewish girl, <a href="http://www.worldjewishdaily.com/toulouse-tragedy.php">Miriam Monsonego was chased and shot, then picked her up and aimed at her head again</a> by vicious monster, Mohammed Merah, was rightfully blamed on him being brainwashed by <a href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/03/21/toulouse-murder-suspect-was-motivated-by-propaganda-and-lies0.html">anti-Israel lies and propaganda</a>.

Even more egregious, are those times when editors select photos which are entirely unrelated to the associated story.<br /><br />Consider <a

Mufti's dream of creating a Caliphate under him as 'king' of all Muslims.</p><br />---</p><br /><p><br />One Man Plots Arabs' Bloody Fight On Jews - Highest Mufti, In Exile, Guides Whole Prograp; Hopes To Be King<br />By H. R. KNICKERBROCKER<br />Portsmouth Times - Sep 25, 1938<br /><blockquote>BEIRUT, Lebanon, Sept. 24— High upon a mountain crest in the Lebanon sits serenely His Eminence, the chief of all the Arabs in Palestine, the paramount public enemy of the Jews in Zion, the Hitler of the near east. He greeted me with all the simple dignity of an Arab fuhrer.<br /><br><br><br />Haj Amin al-Husseini, grand mufti of Jerusalem, mufti of all the muftis of Palestine, is in exile. Over the mere shooting of a British district commissioner, he had to leave Jerusalem a year ago. The incident has paled beside the daily toll of terror in the Holy Land today. It cost him his title of president of the Higher Arab committee. British took that away, but they could not take away his power. Not could they even take his title of president of the Moslem supreme council. Much less deprive him of ambition, too dazzling to be mentioned, one day to have the title "caliph" and rule the Moslem world.<br /><br><br><br />Rapidly Attaining Goal <br /><br><br><br />That title requires its bearer to be sovereign of an independent Moslem state. Hence the mufti's unquenchable desire to become king of Palestine.<br /><br><br><br />It requires a prestige which he does not yet posssess but rapidly is aquiring. For he is the one Arab who challenges the British and therewith wins respect in every disaffected Moslen heart from India to Egypt.<br />[...] <br /><br><br><br />Many Jews claim that 90 percent of the fiercely violent Arab opposition to the British mandate, to the Balfour declaration to Zion and the Jewish National Home from this one man. Most Jews and many British admit that His Eminence provides the leadership and through him flows the money from Arab, German, and Italian sources to inspire and feed the Arab terror in palestine.<br />[...]<br /><br><br><br />His Eminence claims direct descent from Mohammed through the prophet's daughter, Fatimah, and the caliph Ali. His enemies contest this, charging his real name should be Aswad, and that his his forefathers only married into the family of Husseini, descendants of the prophet.<br /><br><br><br />Be that as it may, his family is incontestably old, and well to do. He was born in Jerusalem, addtended the government school there, and then the school of Sheik Rashid Rida in Cairo, which he quit at 20 to make the pilgrimage to Mecca. About this time his father, the mufti of Jerusalem, Sheik Taher al-Husseini, died and his elder brother, Kamel al-Husseini, succeeded to the title.<br /><br><br><br />At the outbreak of the war Amin joined the Turkish army,..</blockquote><br /><A HREF="http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=BR1BAAAAIBAJ&sjid=UqgMAAAAIBAJ&pg=6595,1121062&hl=en">link</A></p><br /><br><br><br />==<br /><br><br><br />In British Side Jailed Once as Foe, Now He's Hitler's Aid<br />Youngstown Vindicator - May 12, 1941<br />By Lemuel .F. Parton (Consolidated News Features Writer) New York<br /><blockquote>May 12.— The British their present effort to keep the Moslem world in their orbit, are embarrassed by their mistake in salvaging and placating a possibly dangerous enemy, in an earlier Munich. In 1920, the loud and bellicose Amin Al-Husseini of Jerusalem stirred up a pogrom and sundry killings. He was senteneced to 10 years in prison, and fled to Trans-jordania. <br /><br><br><br />Sir Herbert Samuel, high commissioner of Jerusalem, was concerned about alienating Arabs. So he amnestied Amin, brought him back and had him appointed grand mufti of Jerusalem.<br />He thought he had "peace in our time," but the grand mufti became as the hitler of the Near East," fomented murderous assaults on Jews and in 1937 unleashed a terror which got out of bounds and made him again a fugitive.<br /><br><br><br />Here he is agin, a Nazi ace trouble-maker, stirring in with the boys in the back room at Baghdad. Plotting to deal misery to the British. On fire with ambition to become king of the Moslem world, second in power only to king Ibn Saud of Saudi Arabia, he is a shrewd and resourceful conspirator, credited by some observers with having rendered important aid to the Nazis in the disaffection of Iraq.<br /><br><br><br />The French also muffed the mufti and his schemes. They gave him haven in Lebanon, when he was exiled in 1937, an there, in a palace which looked like a fortress built on concrete blocks, he held a sort of Pan-Islamic court, in a silver-painted room, wearing the ancestral robes of his family of six generations of muftis..</blockquote><br /><a href="http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=G45cAAAAIBAJ&sjid=rlcNAAAAIBAJ&pg=3870,4082544&hl=en">link</A></p><br /><div><font size=1><p class="clear">Tags: <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/palestine/" rel="tag">"palestine"</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/al-husseini/" rel="tag">Al-Husseini</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/appeasement/" rel="tag">Appeasement</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/arab-fuhrer/" rel="tag">Arab fuhrer</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/arab-racism/" rel="tag">Arab racism</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/caliphate/" rel="tag">Caliphate</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/history/" rel="tag">History</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/hitler+of+the+near East/" rel="tag">Hitler of the Near East</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/islamic-bigotry/" rel="tag">Islamic bigotry</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/islamofascism/" rel="tag">Islamofascism</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/israel/" rel="tag">Israel</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/israeli-arab-conflict/" rel="tag">Israeli Arab conflict</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/jews/" rel="tag">Jews</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/jihad/" rel="tag">Jihad</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/mufti/" rel="tag">Mufti</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/muslims/" rel="tag">Muslims</a></p><br /></font></div>Free Israelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15467911264414815790noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27386338.post-63275992800956569432012-02-26T20:23:00.000-08:002012-02-26T20:25:10.550-08:00STEPHEN SIZER & STENCHY COMPANY: Haters unite: Neo-Nazis, Islamists and IslamoChristians [pro-Islamism fake "Christians"]<p align="CENTER"><font size="4"><b>Haters unite: Neo-Nazis, Islamists and IslamoChristians [pro-Islamism fake "Christians"]: Stephen Sizer, and stenchy company</b></font><P><br /><br /><b>Introduction</b><br /> Under an outrageous banner: 'Christ at an Israeli Checkpoint,' organizers, like Stephen Sizer embark on an ugly propaganda, distorting the fact of security and constant attempts to carry out massacres by Arab-Muslims [<a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=yqk3XE196GsC&pg=PA539">grandchildren of immigrants</a>, otherwise known as] "Palestinians" who <a href="http://spme.net/cgi-bin/articles.cgi?ID=191">caused the need of checkpoints</a>.

S. Yehuda of the New School for Social Research, in a letter to the New York Herald Tribune. The charges were first implied by Eliahu Hakim and Ephraim Ben Zuri, slayers of Lord Moyne, during their trial in Cairo. </em></p><br /><p><em>Declaring that as Colonial Secretary in 1942 Lord Moyne told the House of Lords that "to the Arabs the Jews are not only alien in culture but in blood," Professor Yahuda writes: this attitude is typical of the tactics of all antiSemites who based their anti- Jewish campaigns on the view <strong>that Jews were Semites and hence had no claims to equal rights with European people. The Jews were constantly told: 'Go to Palestine, whence you came and then join the Arabs to whom you belong as Semites.'</strong> This the Jews were told so long as Palestine was closed to them; but now that fifty-two nations have pledged to open Palestine to them, the Arabs are told that the Jews are not Semites but mixed with Armenians and Slavs and that they cannot be expected to be favored by the Arabs as Kinsmen.<br /></em><a href="http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=jP9OAAAAIBAJ&sjid=dUwDAAAAIBAJ&pg=2659,3267399">http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=jP9OAAAAIBAJ&sjid=dUwDAAAAIBAJ&pg=2659,3267399</a></p><br /><p> </p><br />---<br /><p>Conclusion:</p><br /><p>1.) Lord Moyne was no "innocent" victim to be eiminated. (Asides from cruelly oppressing Zionists activists).</p><br /><p> </p><br /><p>2.) The "Khazar" myth (the lie which was "hit" with the recent DNA revelations refuting it as well) was evolved following Moyne "theory." Though his and the Khazaria fantasies are two different things and theories, but you don't have to make sense in order to hate, anyhow.</p><br /><p> </p><br /><p>3.)

He also called for the destruction of Great Britain. His militant anti-Americanism continued years later. For example, on December 3, 2004, he charged the US with waging a cultural war against Muslims, which was part of the "Crusader-Zionist attack on Islam."

Not only does it put the onus for the reporting of antisemitic comments and the demand for their deletion via the 'report abuse' function upon those members of the general public who consider it to be their voluntary task to monitor CiF (a resource upon which the Guardian openly admits it relies), it also means that racist hate speech for example comparing Israel to apartheid South Africa or the Nazi regime is not infrequently left standing on the CiF site. Moreover, those offensive comments that are<span id="more-101"></span> deleted often take an unacceptable amount of time to disappear and are hence read by many visitors to the site before they do.<a class="external autonumber" href="http://www.gloria-center.org/2010/06/sela-2010-06-07/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color:#234b7b;">[1]</span></a></p><br /><br /><ul><br /><br /><li>UK Jewish groups slam 'Guardian' for using Hamas propaganda against Israel</li></ul><br /><br /><p>Jerusalem Post - Mar 25, 2009 In an article in Tuesday's Guardian, entitled 'Guardian' investigation uncovers evidence of alleged Israeli war crimes..</p><br /><br /><p>"This is the newspaper that reported the massacre at Jenin, which turned out to be false, and said also that Israel was high in an international league table for its murder of journalists and then failed to properly correct this patent falsehood," said Jonathan Hoffman, co-vice chairman of the Zionist Federation of the UK.

The Jewish Problem and Its "Solution"</B></P><br /><P><B>ZIONISM </B>is a national liberation movement, identical in most ways to other liberation movements that leftists and progressives the world over -- and in virtually every case but this one -- fervently support. This exceptionalism is also visible at the reverse end of the political spectrum: In every other instance, right-wingers like Patrick Buchanan oppose national liberation movements that are under the spell of Marxist delusions and committed to violent means. But they make an exception for the one that Palestinians have aimed at the Jews. The unique opposition to a Jewish homeland at both ends of the political spectrum identifies the problem that Zionism was created to solve.</P><br /><P>The "Jewish problem" is just another name for the fact that Jews are the most universally hated and persecuted ethnic group in history. The Zionist founders believed that hatred of Jews was a direct consequence of their stateless condition. As long as Jews were aliens in every society they found themselves in, they would always be seen as interlopers, their loyalties would be suspect and persecution would follow. This was what happened to Captain Alfred Dreyfus, whom French anti-Semites falsely accused of spying and who was put on trial for treason by the French government in the 19<SUP>th</SUP> Century. Theodore Herzl was an assimilated, westernized Jew, who witnessed the Dreyfus frame-up in Paris and went on to lead the Zionist movement. </P><br /><P>Herzl and other Zionist founders believed that if Jews had a nation of their own, the very fact would "normalize" their condition in the community of nations. Jews had been without a state since the beginning of the <I>diaspora</I>, when the Romans expelled them from Judea on the west bank of the Jordan River, some 2,000 years before. Once the Jews obtained a homeland – Judea itself seemed a logical site — and were again like other peoples, the Zionists believed anti-Semitism would wither on its poisonous vine and the Jewish problem would disappear. </P><br /><P>Here is what happened instead. </P><br /><P align=center><B>2. The Beginnings</B></P><br /><P>In the 1920s, among their final acts as victors in World War I, the British and French created the states that now define the Middle East out of the ashes of the empire of their defeated Turkish adversary. In a region that the Ottoman Turks had controlled for hundreds of years, Britain and France drew the boundaries of the new states, Syria Lebanon and Iraq. Previously, the British had promised the Jewish Zionists that they could establish a "national home" in a portion of what remained of the area, which was known as the Palestine Mandate. But in 1921 the British separated 80 percent of the Mandate, east of the Jordan, and created the Arab kingdom of "Transjordan." It was created for the Arabian monarch King Abdullah, who had been defeated in tribal warfare in the Arabian Peninsula and lacked a seat of power. Abudllah’s tribe was Hashemite, while the vast majority of Abdullah’s subjects were Palestinian Arabs. </P><br /><P>What was left of the original Palestine Mandate – between the west bank of the Jordan and the Mediterranean Sea – had been settled by Arabs and Jews. Jews, in fact, had lived in the area continuously for 3,700 years, even after the Romans destroyed their state in Judea in AD 70. Arabs became the dominant local population for the first time in the 7<SUP>th</SUP> Century AD as a result of the Muslim invasions. The Arabs were largely nomads who had no distinctive language or culture to separate them from other Arabs. In all the time since, they had made no attempt to create an independent Palestinian state west or east of the Jordan and none was ever established. </P><br /><P>In 1948, at the request of the Jews who were living in Palestine, the United Nations voted to partition the remaining quarter of the original Mandate to make a Jewish homeland possible. Under the partition plan, the Arabs were given the Jews’ ancient home in Judea and Samaria – now known as the West Bank. The Jews were allotted three slivers of disconnected land along the Mediterranean and the Sinai desert. They were also given access to their holy city of Jerusalem, but as an island cut off from the slivers, surrounded by Arab land and under international control. Sixty percent of the land allotted to the Jews was the Negev desert. Out of these unpromising parts, the Jews created a new state, Israel, in 1948. At this time, the idea of a Palestinian nation, or a movement to create one did not even exist. </P><br /><P>At the moment of Israel’s birth, Palestinian Arabs lived on roughly 90 percent of the original Palestine Mandate – in Transjordan and in the UN partition area, but also in the new state of Israel itself. There were 800,000 Arabs living in Israel alongside 1.2 million Jews. At the same time, Jews were legally barred from settling in the 35,000 square miles of Palestinian Transjordan, which eventually was renamed simply "Jordan." </P><br /><P>The Arab population in the slivers called Israel had actually more than tripled since the Zionists first began settling the region in significant numbers in the 1880s.The reason for this increase was that the Jewish settlers had brought industrial and agricultural development with them, which attracted Arab immigrants to what had previously been a sparsely settled and economically destitute area. </P><br /><P>If the Palestinian Arabs had been willing to accept this arrangement in which they received 90 percent of the land in the Palestine Mandate, and under which they benefited from the industry, enterprise and political democracy the Jews brought to the region, there would have been no Middle East conflict. But this was not to be.</P><br /><P>Instead, the Arab League – representing five neighboring Arab states – declared war on Israel on the day of its creation, and five Arab armies invaded the slivers with the aim of destroying the infant Jewish state.During the fighting, according to the UN mediator on the scene, an estimated 472,000 Arabs fled their homes to escape the dangers. They planned on returning after an Arab victory and the destruction of the Jewish state. </P><br /><P>But the Jews -- many of them recent Holocaust survivors -- refused to be defeated. Instead, the five Arab armies that had invaded their slivers were repelled. Yet there was no peace. Even though their armies were beaten, the Arab states were determined to carry on their campaign of destruction, and to remain formally at war with the Israeli state. After the defeat of the Arab armies, the Palestinians who lived in the Arab area of the UN partition did not attempt to create a state of their own. Instead, in 1950, Jordan annexed the entire West Bank. </P><br /><P align=center><B>3. Refugees: Jewish and Arab</B></P><br /><P>As a result of the annexation and the continuing state of war, the Arab refugees who had fled the Israeli slivers did not return. There was a refugee flow into Israel, but it was a flow of Jews who had been expelled from the Arab countries. All over the Middle East, Jews were forced to leave lands they had lived on for centuries. Although Israel was a tiny geographical area and a fledgling state, its government welcomed and resettled 600,000 Jewish refugees from the Arab countries. </P><br /><P>At the same time, the Jews resumed their work of creating a new nation in what was now a single sliver of land. Israel, had annexed a small amount of territory to make their state defensible, including a land bridge that included Jerusalem. </P><br /><P>In the years that followed, the Israelis made their desert bloom. They built the only industrialized economy in the entire Middle East. They built the only liberal democracy in the Middle East. They treated the Arabs who remained in Israel well. To this day the very large Arab minority, which lives inside the state of Israel, has more rights and privileges than any other Arab population in the entire Middle East. </P><br /><P>This is especially true of the Arabs living under Yasser Arafat’s corrupt dictatorship, the Palestine Authority, which today administers the West Bank and the Gaza strip, and whose Arab subjects have no human rights. In 1997, in a fit of pique against the Oslo Accords, Palestinian spokesman Edward Said himself blurted this out, calling Arafat "our Papa Doc" – after the sadistic dictator of Haiti – and complaining that there was "a total absence of law or the rule of law in the Palestinian autonomy areas."</P><br /><P>The present Middle East conflict is said to be about the "occupied territories" – the West Bank of the Jordan and the Gaza strip – and about Israel’s refusal to "give them up." But during the first twenty years of the Arab-Israeli conflict, Israel did not control the West Bank. In 1950, when Jordan annexed the West Bank, there was no Arab outrage. Nor did the Middle East conflict with the Jews subside. </P><br /><P>The reason there was no Arab outrage over the annexation of the West Bank was because Jordan is a state whose ethnic majority is Palestinian Arabs. On the other hand, the Palestinians of Jordan are disenfranchised by the ruling Hashemite minority. Despite this fact, in the years following the annexation the Palestinians displayed no interest in achieving "self-determination" in Hashemite Jordan. It is only the presence of Jews, apparently, that incites this claim. The idea that the current conflict is about "occupied territories" is only one of the many large Arab deceits -- now widely accepted -- that have distorted the history of the Middle East wars. </P><br /><P align=center><B>4. The Arab Wars Against Israel</B></P><br /><P>In 1967, Egypt, Syria and Jordan attacked Israel for a second time and were again defeated. It was in repelling these aggressors that Israel came to control the West Bank and the Gaza strip, as well as the oil-rich Sinai desert. Israel had every right to annex these territories captured from the aggressors – a time honored ritual among nations, and in fact the precise way that Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Jordan had come into existence themselves. But Israel did not do so. On the other hand, neither did it withdraw its armies or relinquish its control. </P><br /><P>The reason was that the Arab aggressors once again refused to make peace. Instead, they declared themselves still at war with Israel, a threat no Israeli government could afford to ignore. By this time, Israel was a country of 2 or 3 million surrounded by declared enemies whose combined populations numbered over 100 million. Geographically Israel was so small that at one point it was less than ten miles across. No responsible Israeli government could relinquish a territorial buffer while its hostile neighbors were still formally at war. This is the reality that frames the Middle East conflict.</P><br /><P>In 1973, six years after the second Arab war against the Jews, the Arab armies again attacked Israel. The attack was led by Syria and Egypt, abetted by Iraq, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and five other countries who gave military support to the aggressors, including an Iraqi division of 18,000 men. Israel again defeated the Arab forces. Afterwards, Egypt – and Egypt alone -- agreed to make a formal peace. </P><br /><P>The peace was signed by Egyptian president, Anwar Sadat, who was subsequently assassinated by Islamic radicals, paying for his statesmanship with his life. Sadat is one of three Arab leaders assassinated by other Arabs for making peace with the Jews.</P><br /><P>Under the Camp David accords that Sadat signed, Israel returned the entire Sinai with all its oil riches. This act demonstrated once and for all that the solution to the Middle East conflict was ready at hand. It only required the willingness of the Arabs to agree. </P><br /><P>The Middle East conflict is not about Israel’s occupation of the territories; it is about the refusal of the Arabs to make peace with Israel, which is an inevitable by-product of their desire to destroy it.</P><br /><P align=center><B>5. Self-Determination Is Not The Agenda</B></P><br /><P>The Palestinians and their supporters also claim that the Middle East conflict is about the Palestinians’ yearning for a state and the refusal of Israel to accept their aspiration. This claim is also false. The Palestine Liberation Organization was created in 1964, sixteen years after the establishment of Israel and the first anti-Israel war. The PLO was created at a time the West Bank was not under Israeli control but was part of Jordan. The PLO, however, was not created so that the Palestinians could achieve self-determination in Jordan, which at the time comprised 90 percent of the original Palestine Mandate. The PLO’s express purpose, in the words of its own leaders, was to "push the Jews into the sea." </P><br /><P>The official charter of the new Palestine Liberation Organization referred to the "Zionist invasion," declared that Israel’s Jews were "not an independent nationality," described Zionism as "racist" and "fascist," called for "the liquidation of the Zionist presence," and specified, "armed struggle is the only way to liberate Palestine." In short, "liberation" required the destruction of the Jewish state. The PLO was not even created by Palestinians but by the Arab League -- the corrupt dictators who ruled the Middle East and who had attempted to destroy Israel by military force in 1948, in 1967 and again in 1973.</P><br /><P>For thirty years, the PLO charter remained unchanged in its call for Israel’s destruction. Then in the mid-1990s, under enormous international pressure following the 1993 Oslo accords, PLO leader Yasser Arafat removed the clause while assuring his followers that its removal was a necessary compromise that did not alter the movement’s goals. He did this explicitly and also by citing a historical precedent in which the Prophet Muhammad insincerely agreed to a peace with his enemies in order to gain time to mass the forces with which he intended to destroy them. </P><br /><P align=center><B>6. The Struggle to Destroy Israel</B></P><br /><P>The Middle East struggle is not about right against right. It is about a fifty-year effort by the Arabs to destroy the Jewish state, and the refusal of the Arab states in general and the Palestinian Arabs in particular to accept Israel’s existence. If the Arabs were willing to do this, there would be no occupied territories and there would be a Palestinian state.</P><br /><P>Even during the "Oslo" peace process -- when the Palestine Liberation Organization pretended to recognize the existence of Israel and the Jews therefore allowed the creation of a "Palestine Authority" -- it was clear that the PLO’s goal was Israel’s destruction, and not just because its leader invoked the Prophet Muhammad’s own deception. The Palestinians’ determination to destroy Israel is abundantly clear in their newly created demand of a "right of return" to Israel for "5 million" Arabs. The figure of 5 million refugees who must be returned to Israel is more than <I>ten </I>times the number of Arabs who actually left the Jewish slivers of the British Mandate in 1948. </P><br /><P>In addition to its absurdity, this new demand has several aspects that reveal the Palestinians’ genocidal agenda for the Jews. The first is that the "right of return" is itself a calculated mockery of the primary reason for Israel’s existence -- the fact that no country would provide a refuge for Jews fleeing Hitler’s extermination program during World War II. It is only because the world turned its back on the Jews when their survival was at stake that the state of Israel grants a "right of return." to every Jew who asks for it. </P><br /><P>But there is no genocidal threat to Arabs, no lack of international support militarily and economically, and no Palestinian "diaspora" (although the Palestinians have cynically appropriated the very term to describe their self-inflicted quandary). The fact that many Arabs, including the Palestinian spiritual leader -- the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem -- supported Hitler’s "Final Solution" only serves to compound the insult. It is even further compounded by the fact that more than 90 percent of the Palestinians now in the West Bank and Gaza have never lived a day of their lives in territorial Israel. The claim of a "right of return" is thus little more than a brazen expression of contempt for the Jews, and for their historic suffering. </P><br /><P>More importantly it is an expression of contempt for the very idea of a Jewish state. The incorporation of five million Arabs into Israel would render the Jews a permanent minority in their own country, and would thus spell the end of Israel. The Arabs fully understand this, and that is why they have made it a fundamental demand. It is just one more instance of the general bad faith the Arab side has manifested through every chapter of these tragic events. </P><br /><P>Possibly the most glaring expression of the Arabs’ bad faith is their deplorable treatment of the Palestinian refugees and refusal for half a century to relocate them, or to alleviate their condition, even during the years they were under Jordanian rule. While Israel was making the desert bloom and relocating 600,000 Jewish refugees from Arab states, and building a thriving industrial democracy in its allotted sliver, the Arabs were busy making sure that <I>their</I> refugees remained in squalid refugee camps in the West Bank and Gaza, where they were powerless, right-less, and economically destitute. </P><br /><P>Today, fifty years after the first Arab war against Israel, there are 59 such refugee camps and 3.7 million "refugees" registered with the UN. Despite economic aid from the UN and Israel itself, despite the oil wealth of the Arab kingdoms, the Arab leaders have refused to undertake the efforts that would liberate the refugees from their miserable camps, or to make the economic investment that would alleviate their condition. There are now 22 Arab states providing homes for the same ethnic population, speaking a common Arabic language. But the only one that will allow Palestinian Arabs to become citizens is Jordan. And the only state the Palestinians covet is Israel.</P><br /><P align=center><B>7. The Policy of Resentment and Hate</B></P><br /><P>The refusal to address the condition of the Palestinian refugee population is – and has always been -- a calculated Arab policy, intended to keep the Palestinians in a state of desperation in order<I> </I>to incite their hatred of Israel for the wars to come. Not to leave anything to chance, the mosques and schools of the Arabs generally -- and the Palestinians in particular -- preach and teach Jew hatred every day. Elementary school children in Palestinian Arab schools are even taught to chant "Death to the heathen Jews" in their classrooms as they are learning to read. It should not be overlooked, that these twin policies of deprivation (of the Palestinian Arabs) and hatred (of the Jews) are carried out without any protest from any sector of Palestinian or Arab society. That in itself speaks volumes about the nature of the Middle East conflict.</P><br /><P>All wars -- especially wars that have gone on for fifty years – produce victims with just grievances on both sides. And that is true in this one. There are plenty of individual Palestinian victims, as there are Jewish victims, familiar from the nightly news. But the collective Palestinian grievance is without justice. It is a self-inflicted wound, the product of the Arabs’ xenophobia, bigotry, exploitation of their own people, and apparent inability to be generous towards those who are not Arabs. While Israel is an open, democratic, multi-ethnic, multicultural society that includes a large enfranchised Arab minority, the Palestine Authority is an intolerant, undemocratic, monolithic police state with one dictatorial leader, whose ruinous career has run now for 37 years. </P><br /><P>As the repellent attitudes, criminal methods and dishonest goals of the Palestine liberation movement should make clear to any reasonable observer, its present cause is based on Jew hatred, and on resentment of the modern, democratic West, and little else. Since there was no Palestinian nation before the creation of Israel, and since Palestinians regarded themselves simply as Arabs and their land as part of Syria, it is not surprising that many of the chief creators of the Palestine Liberation Organization did not even live in the Palestine Mandate before the creation of Israel, let alone in the sliver of mostly desert that was allotted to the Jews. Edward Said, the leading intellectual mouthpiece for the Palestinian cause grew up in a family that chose to make its home in Egypt and the United States. Yasser Arafat was born in Egypt. </P><br /><P>While the same Arab states that claim to be outraged by the Jews’ treatment of Palestinians treat their own Arab populations far worse than Arabs are treated in Israel, they are also silent about the disenfranchised Palestinian majority that lives in Jordan. In 1970, Jordan’s King Hussein massacred thousands of PLO militants. But the PLO does not call for the overthrow of Hashemite rule in Jordan and does not hate the Hashemite monarchy. Only Jews are hated. </P><br /><P>It is a hatred, moreover, that is increasingly lethal. Today, 70 percent of the Arabs in the West Bank and Gaza approve the suicide bombing of women and children if the targets are Jews. There is no Arab "Peace Now" movement, not even a small one, whereas in Israel the movement demanding concessions to Arabs in the name of peace is a formidable political force. There is no Arab spokesman who will speak for the rights and sufferings of Jews, but there are hundreds of thousands of Jews in Israel – and all over the world – who will speak for "justice" for the Palestinians. How can the Jews expect fair treatment from a people that collectively does not even recognize their humanity? </P><br /><P align=center><B>8. A Phony Peace</B></P><br /><P>The Oslo peace process begun in 1993 was based on the pledge of both parties to renounce violence as a means of settling their dispute. But the Palestinians never renounced violence and in the year 2000, they officially launched a new Intifada against Israel, effectively terminating the peace process. </P><br /><P>In fact, <I>during</I> the peace process -- between 1993 and 1999 -- there were over 4,000 terrorist incidents committed by Palestinians against Israelis, and more than 1,000 Israelis killed as a result of Palestinian attacks – more than had been killed in the previous 25 years. By contrast, during the same period 1993-1999 Israelis were so desperate for peace that they reciprocated these acts of murder by giving the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza a self-governing authority, a 40,000 man armed "police force," and 95 percent of the territory their negotiators demanded. This Israeli generosity was rewarded by a rejection of peace, suicide bombings of crowded discos and shopping malls, an outpouring of ethnic hatred and a renewed declaration of war. </P><br /><P>In fact, the Palestinians broke the Oslo Accords precisely <I>because</I> of Israeli generosity, <I>because</I> the government of Ehud Barak offered to meet 95 percent of their demands, including turning over parts of Jerusalem to their control -- a possibility once considered unthinkable. These concessions confronted Arafat with the one outcome he did not want: Peace with Israel. Peace without the destruction of the "Jewish Entity." </P><br /><P>Arafat rejected these Israeli concessions, accompanying his rejection with a new explosion of anti-Jewish violence. He named this violence -- deviously -- "The Al-Aksa Intifada," after the mosque on the Temple Mount. His new <I>jihad</I> was given the name of a Muslim shrine to create the illusion that the Intifada was provoked not by his unilateral destruction of the Oslo peace process, but by Ariel Sharon’s visit to the site. Months after the Intifada began, the Palestine Authority itself admitted this was just another Arafat lie. </P><br /><P>In fact, the Intifada had been planned months before Sharon’s visit as a follow-up to the rejection of the Oslo Accords. In the words of Imad Faluji, the Palestine Authority’s communications minister, "[The uprising] had been planned since Chairman Arafat’s return from Camp David, when he turned the tables on the former U.S. president [Clinton] and rejected the American conditions." The same conclusion was reached by the Mitchell Commission headed by former U.S. Senator George Mitchell to investigate the events: "The Sharon visit did not cause the Al-Aksa Intifada."</P><br /><P align=center><B>9. Moral Distinctions</B></P><br /><P>In assessing the Middle East impasse it is important to pay attention to the moral distinction revealed in the actions of the two combatants. When a deranged Jew goes into an Arab mosque and kills the worshippers (which happened <I>once</I>) he is acting alone and is universally condemned by the Israeli government and the Jews in Israel and everywhere, and he is punished to the full extent of Israeli law. But when a young Arab enters a disco filled with teenagers or a shopping mall or bus crowded with women and children and blows himself and innocent bystanders up (which happens frequently), he is someone who has been trained and sent by a component of the PLO or the Palestine Authority; he is officially praised as a hero by Yasser Arafat; his mother is given money by the Palestine Authority; and his Arab neighbors come to pay honor to the household for having produced a "martyr for Allah." The Palestinian liberation movement is the first such movement to elevate the killing of children – both the enemy’s and its own – into a religious calling and a strategy of the cause.</P><br /><P>It is not only the methods of the Palestine liberation movement that are morally repellent. The Palestinian cause is itself corrupt. The "Palestinian problem" is a problem created by the Arabs, and can only be solved by them. In Jordan, Palestinians already have a state in which they are a majority but which denies them self-determination. Why is Jordan not the object of the Palestinian "liberation" struggle? The only possible answer is <I>because it is not ruled by Jews</I>. </P><br /><P>There is a famous "green line" marking the boundary between Israel and its Arab neighbors. That green line is also the bottom line for what is the real problem in the Middle East. It is green because plants are growing in the desert on the Israeli side but not on the Arab side. The Jews got a sliver of land without oil, and created abundant wealth and life in all its rich and diverse forms. The Arabs got nine times the acreage but all they have done with it is to sit on its aridity and nurture the poverty, resentments and hatreds of its inhabitants. Out of these dark elements they have created and perfected the most vile anti-human terrorism the world has ever seen: Suicide bombing of civilians. In fact, the Palestinians are a community of suicide bombers: they want the destruction of Israel more than they want a better life. </P><br /><P>If a nation state is all the Palestinians desire, Jordan would be the solution. (So would settling for 95 percent of one’s demands.) But the Palestinians also want to destroy Israel. This is morally hateful. It is the Nazi virus revived. Nonetheless, the Palestinian cause is generally supported by the international community, with the singular exception of the United States (and to a lesser degree Great Britain). It is precisely because the Palestinians want to destroy a state that Jews have created -- and because they are killing Jews -- that they enjoy international credibility and otherwise inexplicable support.</P><br /><P align=center><B>10. The Jewish Problem Again</B></P><br /><P>It is this international resistance to the cause of Jewish survival, the persistence of global Jew-hatred that, in the end, refutes the Zionist hope of a solution to the "Jewish problem." The creation of Israel is an awe-inspiring human success story. But the permanent war to destroy it undermines the original Zionist idea. </P><br /><P>More than fifty years after the creation of Israel, the Jews are still the most hated ethnic group in the world. Islamic radicals want to destroy Israel, but do so Islamic moderates. For the Jews in the Middle East, the present conflict is a life and death struggle, yet every government in the UN with the exception of the United States and sometimes Britain regularly votes against Israel in the face of a terrorist enemy, who has no respect for the rights or lives of Jews. After the Al-Qaeda attack on the World Trade Center, the French ambassador to England complained that the whole world was endangered because of "that shitty little country," Israel. This caused a scandal in England, but nowhere else. All that stands between the Jews of the Middle East and another Holocaust is their own military prowess and the generous, humanitarian support of the United States. </P><br /><P>Even in the United States, however, one can now turn the TV to channels like MSNBC and CNN to see Ariel Sharon who is the elected Prime Minister of a democracy equated politically and morally with Yasser Arafat who is a dictator, a terrorist and an enemy of the United States. One can see the same equivalence drawn between Israel’s democracy and the Palestine Authority, which is a terrorist entity and an ally of America’s enemies Al Qaeda and Iraq. </P><br /><P>During the Gulf War, Israel was America’s staunch ally while Arafat and the Palestinians openly supported the aggressor, Saddam Hussein. Yet the next two U.S. Governments – Republican and Democrat alike – strove for even-handed "neutrality" in the conflict in the Middle East, and pressured Israel into a suicidal "peace process" with a foe dedicated to its destruction. It is only since September 11 that the United States has been willing to recognize Arafat as an enemy of peace and not a viable negotiating partner.<BR><A href="http://www.fightthebias.com/Resources/Rec_Read/mid_east_conflict.htm" target=BLANK>http://www.fightthebias.com/Resources/Rec_Read/mid_east_conflict.htm</A></P><br /><P></P><br /><P>The Zionists’ efforts created a thriving democracy for the Jews of Israel (and also for the million Arabs who live in Israel), but failed to normalize the Jewish people or make them safe in a world that hates them. From the point of view of the "Jewish problem," which Herzl and the Zionist founders set out to solve, it is better today to be a Jew in America than a Jew in Israel. </P><br /><P>This is one reason why I myself am not a Zionist but an unambivalent, passionate American patriot. America is good for the Jews as it is good for every other minority who embraces its social contract. But this history is also why I am a fierce supporter of Israel’s survival and have no sympathy for the Palestinian side in the conflict in the Middle East. Nor will I have such sympathy until the day comes when I can look into the Palestinians’ eyes and see something other than death desired for Jews like me.</P><br /><HR><br /><A name=selfinfliction></A><br /><P align=center><B><U>SELF-INFLICTED ARABS SINCE 1948</U></B></P><P>The Palestinian narrative is a falsification of history<BR>If true peace is ever to reign among Israel and its Arab neighbors, it is important that the Arabs recognize that what they call the Nakba was a self-inflicted tragedy.<BR>By Moshe Arens<BR>[03/11/10]<BR><BR>The legendary TV sleuth Columbo used to question witnesses to a crime he was investigating by confronting them brusquely: "Just give me the facts," he would say. He was not interested in hearing conflicting subjective accounts of the kind that appear in Akira Kurosawa's famous film "Rashomon," where each of the witnesses to a crime gave his subjective impression in mutually contradictory ways. The facts, that is all he wanted to hear. The facts, that is what is required of those who teach history to our children in school when they teach the history of Israel's War of Independence. <BR><BR>Some years ago, the Ministry of Education instructed schools to teach our children the "Palestinian narrative" in addition to the Jewish (Israeli?) narrative of the events of Israel's War of Independence. Now that this instruction has been countermanded, a demand is voiced by some that the "Palestinian narrative" nevertheless continue to be taught in our schools. Are there really two narratives which our children should be taught? Is history no more than a collection of conflicting narratives? <BR><BR>The "narrative" mode of history is something of recent vintage, a fad not likely to persist. It is the facts that we want our children to be taught in history lessons. There may be different interpretations of certain events that may need to be elaborated, even when the events themselves have been established beyond doubt. It is only when the actual course of events has been difficult or impossible to ascertain that there is room for presenting different versions. <BR><BR>As a matter of fact, the narrative form of teaching history seems to have struck root primarily in Israel. Would anyone suggest that in American schools the "Japanese narrative" of the American-Japanese conflict during World War II be taught alongside the "American narrative"? Is the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 no more than the American version? Or how about teaching in Russian schools the "German narrative" of the German invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941? This seems too preposterous to contemplate. <BR><BR>So why is this happening in Israel? Yes, there is a "Palestinian narrative" of the 1948 war, and it is called "Nakba." But as every student of that war and the still-living witnesses know only too well, the Nakba version is no more than a pack of lies. No juggling and politicized interpretations of the events of that war, in which one percent of the Jewish population fell fighting against the Arab attack, can change the fact that the Arab world - the local Arab militias and the regular armies of the neighboring Arab countries, plus Iraqi forces - attempted to destroy the Jewish State in a war they started immediately after the UN resolution dividing western Palestine into Jewish and Arab states in November 1947. <BR><BR>Six thousand Jews - soldiers and civilians - fell in that war fighting against the Arab onslaught. Where the Arabs were successful the Jewish population was killed or deported, and all Jewish property was destroyed. What happened in the Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem and in the Etzion bloc in May 1948 when they fell to the Jordanian Legion was a portent of the fate that awaited the entire Jewish community had the Arabs won this war. All this has been effaced in the "Palestinian narrative." <BR><BR>Is it suggested that this falsification of history should be taught to schoolchildren - Jews and Arabs - in Israel? <BR><BR>It is true that the Arab population of Palestine suffered grievously during that war. But it is also beyond doubt that this tragedy was brought on them by the decisions taken by the Arab leadership. It is essential that this part of the history of Israel's War of Independence, of the "Israeli narrative" if you like, be taught in our schools to Jewish and Arab children alike. And if true peace is ever to reign among Israel and its Arab neighbors, it is important that the Arabs recognize that what they call the Nakba was a self-inflicted tragedy. <BR><BR>Just as real peace could come to Europe after World War II only after Germans abandoned the "German narrative" and accepted the true history of the war that Germany started, so only abandonment of the "Palestinian narrative" and acceptance of the true sequence of the events of 1947-48 can serve as a basis for reconciliation between Jews and Arabs. <BR><A href="http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/opinion/the-palestinian-narrative-is-a-falsification-of-history-1.322588" target=BLANK>http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/opinion/the-palestinian-narrative-is-a-falsification-of-history-1.322588</A></P> <br /><P>Palestine's Self-Inflicted Wound<BR>Alan Dershowitz [Lawyer and author]<BR>Posted: May 17, 2007 05:21 PM<BR><BR>I just returned from a visit from several university campuses during which I spoke about the Israeli-Palestine conflict. On these and other campuses anti-Israel students commemorate the Palestinian Nakba. They call this the Day of Catastrophe on which the Palestinians were deprived of their homeland and were made refugees from their birthplace. They compare their catastrophe to the Holocaust. Perhaps out of deference to the suffering of the Palestinian people, Pro-Israel students generally say nothing in response to these Nakba commemorations. The impression is thus created that everyone agrees that this was indeed a catastrophe inflicted by Israel on the Palestinians. The time has come to reply to this canard and to place it in its historical context. <BR><BR>The Nakba was indeed a catastrophe, but it was a self-inflicted wound. The Palestinian Nakba was a direct result of the refusal of the Palestinian and Arab leadership to accept the two state solution offered by the United Nations in 1947-48. The UN divided what remained of Palestine, after Trans-Jordan was carved out of it, into two states of roughly equal size (The Israelis got slightly more actual land, but the Palestinians got considerably more arable land). Israel would control territories in which Jews were a majority, while the Palestinians would control territories in which Arabs were a majority. Israel accepted the partition and declared statehood. Palestinians rejected statehood and attacked Israel with the help of all the surrounding Arab countries. In the process of defending their new state, Israel lost 1% of its population (1 out of every 100 Israelis were killed.) In the ensuing war- a war declared to be genocidal by Israel's enemies- 700,000 Palestinians left their homes, some voluntarily, some at the urging of Palestinian leaders and some forced out by the Israeli military. None of these people would have had to leave Israel had the Palestinians and other Arabs been willing to accept the two state solution. It was indeed a catastrophe for all sides, but the catastrophe was caused by the Palestinians and Arabs. <BR><BR>In the aftermath of the war, Jordan occupied the West Bank and Egypt occupied the Gaza Strip. There were no United Nations condemnations of these occupations though they were brutal and denied the Palestinians autonomy and sovereignty. Only when Israel occupied these lands, following a defensive war against Egypt and Jordan, did the occupation become a source of international concern. <BR><BR>This is the reality. This is the historical truth. And the world should understand that this particular catastrophe, as distinguished from others like the Holocaust, could easily have been prevented had the Palestinians wanted their own state more than they wanted to see the destruction of the Jewish state of Israel. <BR><BR>The Germans don't celebrate the catastrophe resulting from their invasion of Poland. Japanese do not celebrate their catastrophe resulting from the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Why do Palestinians celebrate their catastrophe resulting from the Arab attack against Israel? <BR><A href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/alan-dershowitz/palestines-selfinflicted-_b_48751.html" target=BLANK>http://www.huffingtonpost.com/alan-dershowitz/palestines-selfinflicted-_b_48751.html</A></P><br /><P>Palestine betrayed - Efraim Karsh - [Yale University Press,] 2010 - History - 342 pages [ISBN 0300127278, 9780300127270]<BR><br />CHAPTER 12 <br /><BR><BR>A Self-Inflicted Catastrophe <br /><BLOCKQUOTE>"The Arabs failed their fateful test not because of numerical or material inferiority –for the Jews had no edge in either category.

The Jews accepted partition into two states; the Arabs rejected it.</P><br /><P>The international community offered to make Amin al-Husseini, the Palestinian Arabs' leader, head of a state despite the fact that he and his closest colleagues were the subject of a 1938 British arrest warrant for terrorist activities (not mythical but for killing lots of people), and had spent World War Two in Berlin doing pro-Nazi propaganda, recruiting for SS units, and planning a Holocaust of Jews in the Middle East. </P><br /><P>But al-Husseini rejected partition and so did all of the Arab states. While Jordan wanted to make a deal and Egypt's government wasn't enthusiastic, they all had to go along with al-Husseini's intransigence, their hysterical public opinion, and the other Arab states' pressure. The Arab League's leader, a Nazi agent during World War Two, bragged that the Jews would be massacred. The Muslim Brotherhood, which collaborated with the Nazis during the war and were subsidized by them before the war, sent volunteers to fight the Jews.</P><br /><P>And so a Palestinian Arab army, whose three chief commanders had all fought for the Nazis during World War Two, went to war against the Jews using Nazi-supplied weapons (provided for the Palestinian Arab revolt in 1939 and for an Egyptian revolt that never happened in 1942). They lost. </P><br /><P>Then the armies of the Arab states invaded Israel. They largely lost, though the Egyptian held onto the Gaza area while the Jordanians took east Jerusalem and what became known as the West Bank. Egypt ran Gaza; Jordan annexed the West Bank.</P><br /><P>Everything that happened afterward was due to Arab decisions to reject both a two-state solution and Israel's creation.</P><br /><P>That's the bottom line. So the disaster was due first and foremost to the Palestinian Arab leadership and secondly to the Arab states and publics. </P><br /><P>Dealing with the "nakba" would then require that the Palestinian Arabs and the Arabic-speaking world generally would recognize that the disaster resulted from their refusal to accept Israel's existence and to seek a genuine, compromise two-state solution.</P><br /><P>But, instead, in the name of the 1948 disaster they are repeating the same policies that brought it about! Indeed, they are the same policies that led to the self-inflicted disasters of 1967, 2000, and others since then.</P><br /><P>For example, as part of the preparations for the commemoration of the 1948 disaster, Palestinian Authority television played repeatedly a music video entitled "On the Way to Jerusalem" The main lines are:</P><br /><P>"Jaffa, Acre, Haifa, and Nazareth are ours.</P><br /><P>[ I ], Muhammad, sing about the Galilee and the Golan (Heights).<BR>Jaffa, Acre, Haifa and Nazareth are ours."</P><br /><P>This is precisely the one-state, wipe-Israel-off-the-map that brought on them the disaster of 1948, disaster every year since then, and more disaster into the forseeable future. Sixty-four years (counting from 1947) of failed policy has not brought wisdom. </P><br /><P>Almost every event–Egypt's revolution, demonstrators trying to cross Israel's border, a terrorist attack, Western sympathy, and so on–is interpreted as proving that Israel's destruction is possible and so additional decades should be spent in diplomatic intransigence and the incitement of violence rather than some constructive effort. That's one reason, by the way, why the Palestinians always ultimately lose. </P><br /><P>This has also been going on so long that much of the West has forgotten the roots and ongoing causes of this conflict, Palestinian suffering, Israeli suffering, and the terrorist violence and defamation of Israel.</P><br /><P>Note: The use of the words "Nazi collaborator" and other mentions of pro-Nazi activities in this article are not name-calling but based on German and U.S. intelligence materials. These points will be fully and in detail documented in the forthcoming book by myself and Wolfgang Schwanitz, to be published by Yale University Press next year.<BR><A href="http://www.gloria-center.org/a-brief-guide-to-why-1948-was-a-palestinian-arab-and-arab-disaster-2/" TARGET=BLANK>http://www.gloria-center.org/a-brief-guide-to-why-1948-was-a-palestinian-arab-and-arab-disaster-2/</A></P><br /><P>New outlook: Volume 34 - Makhon le-ḥeḳer ha-shalom (Giv'at Havivah, Israel) - Hashkafah Hadashah, 1991 - [Page 48]<br>...

Truth be told, the real catastrophe did not occur in 1948; it happened much earlier and it continues today under the leadership of Hamas. That is, the inability of the Palestinian national movement to create the political and social institutional infrastructure necessary for the foundation of a nation-state. <br /><BR><BR><br />And although, Palestinians like to see themselves as the victims of the Zionist movement's triumphant creation of a Jewish state, they should actually turn inward and look at the history of their own leaders who failed them. <br /><BR><BR><br />This ongoing debate always raises the issue of the territorial bond between the land and the people and who rightfully owns the land. <br /><BR><BR><br />For Israelis, though largely secular, their country remains a land deeply defined by religion, which also has political implications. The absence of a real separation of church and state in Israel is concomitant with the constant entanglement of religious and political issues rooted in the land itself. These roots fuel the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian violence over territorial ownership. For the "physical" territory is also the tie between religious identification in Judaism and the land itself. <br /><BR><BR><br />And this tie to the land is unique to Judaism, as Adam Garfinkle explains: <br /><BR><BR><br />"The religious identification of Jews in Israel is linked to the memory of the First and Second Commonwealths; it is history with a sacred dimension, and it is integral to the theological interpretation of Jewish history. As important, virtually all Jews know that Israel is the place that is most integral to Jews, and that Jerusalem is the place that is most integral to Israel. One can be a Jew anywhere, but there are some commandments that can be performed only in Israel. There is a sharp and indissoluble theological distinction between the land of Israel and everywhere else." <br /><BR><BR><br />Furthermore, Hillel Cohen in his new important book titled, Army of Shadows: Palestinian Collaboration With Zionism, 1917-1948, studies the relationships and ties between the Zionists and the Arab community in the pre-state era. <br /><BR><BR><br />The merit of Cohen's book lies in its thorough recounting of the history of Arab-Zionist cooperation and collaboration, period by period, region by region, family by family. One of the most important interactions Cohen highlights, which is key to the debate surrounding the ownership of the land, is the purchase of those lands from the Arabs, dating back to the 1880s. These legal acquisitions are important, as they dispel the ongoing myth used by Palestinians propagandists that the "Jews stole the land" from them. <br /><BR><BR><br />Historically, by the end of 1947, the Zionist institutions and individual Jews had acquired close to 7 percent of Palestine's land, which at the time was approximately 10,000 square miles. The legality of these transactions was done specifically to ensure that they could not be accused of taking the land by force. <br /><BR><BR><br />History does not offer any guarantees for success, and the story of the Jewish yishuv (community) could have gone in a different direction. Had the Zionists failed, they could have cited the British Mandate authorities, who betrayed their charge to help form a Jewish national home; the Arab opposition; and the trauma of the Holocaust as excuses for why the modern state of Israel could not be established under such arduous circumstances. But despite all these hardships, the Zionist movement managed to overcome and establish a national authority, as well as an organizational and institutional foundation that led to the creation of the state. <br /><BR><BR><br />In contrast to the Zionist story, the Palestinian story prefers to blame everyone around them but themselves -- since it is easier to blame someone else than actually do the work that is desperately needed to move beyond a self-inflected catastrophe. <br /><BR><A HREF="http://www.jewishexponent.com/article/16091/Advocacy_Corner/" TARGET=BLANK>http://www.jewishexponent.com/article/16091/Advocacy_Corner/</A></P><br /><HR><br /><A name=casualties></A><br /><P align=center><B><U>"CASUALTIES" VS CASUALTIES</U></B></P><br /><P>The "al-Aqsa Intifada" - An Engineered Tragedy Summary of Findings<BR>June 20, 2002<BR>Updated: May 21, 2003<BR>Don Radlauer<BR>ICT Associate <BR><BR>An ongoing study by the International Policy Institute for Counter-Terrorism (ICT) at the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya provides an in-depth look at the fatalities on both sides of the current Palestinian/Israeli conflict. Based on thorough research using Palestinian and Israeli open sources, the study provides a breakdown of those killed by age, gender, and combatant status. The results lead to some surprising conclusions. <BR><BR>Combatants, Noncombatants, and Responsibility <BR><BR>Almost 1900 Palestinians have been killed since the start of the "al-Aqsa Intifada", compared to almost 700 Israelis. Numbers like these are used to create an image of lopsided slaughter, with Israel cast as the villain. But such numbers distort the true picture: They lump combatants in with noncombatants, suicide bombers with innocent civilians, and report Palestinian "collaborators" murdered by their own compatriots as if they had been killed by Israel. <BR><BR>More meaningful figures show that Israel is responsible for some 733 Palestinian noncombatant deaths, while Palestinians have killed 546 Israeli noncombatants. Over 54 percent of the Palestinians killed were actively involved in fighting – and this does not include stone-throwers or "unknowns". And Palestinians are directly responsible for the deaths of at least 253 of their own number – more than one out of every eight Palestinians killed. On the Israeli side, 80 percent of those killed have been noncombatants. While Israelis account for about 27 percent of the total "Intifada" fatalities, they represent over 43 percent of the noncombatant victims. <BR><A href="http://web.archive.org/web/20041013004329/http://www.ict.org.il/articles/articledet.cfm?articleid=440" target=BLANK>http://web.archive.org/web/20041013004329/http://www.ict.org.il/articles/articledet.cfm?articleid=440</A></P><br /><P>IDF's unparalleled record of sparing civilians in counter-terrorism operations<BR>December 30, 2011<BR>Leo Rennert<BR>In a year-end review of countering rocket fire from Gaza, the IDF reports that its retaliatory fire killed 100 Palestinians, including nine civilians. The rest were combatants linked to Palestinian terror organizations. Put another way, the Palestinian fatality toll included 10 fighters for every civilian. <BR>The one-to-10 noncombatant-combatant fatality ratio is unique among conflicts around the world. No other army can boast of similar records of minimal civilian collateral damage. In fact, the United Nations estimates that 30 civilians are killed for every 10 combatant fatalities in conflicts elsewhere in the world. That's three times as many non-combatants as combatants. <BR><BR>The IDF's record is the more remarkable when one considers that Palestinian terror groups are deeply embedded in civilian neighborhoods, requiring ever greater IDF pinpoint accuracy in retaliatory strikes as well as extensive intelligence inside Gaza to select proper targets. Also, quite often, IDF commanders will forgo ordering an attack when the potential for civilian casualties seems too high. <BR><BR>Yet, if one reviews mainstream media reports in 2011 about the continuing Gaza conflict, scant attention is paid to the paucity of Palestinian civilian casualties. Headlines regularly announce that "Israel killed 3 Palestinians" -- leaving readers in the dark about who these casualties are or, worse, concluding erroneously that they're probably civilians. And virtually never do reporters dig into the lengths to which the Israeli military goes to spare civilians. <BR><BR>This remains most notable in coverage of Israel's counter-terrorism incursion into Gaza in the winter of 2008-2009. To this day, media like the New York Times, abetted by spurious reports from human rights organizations and the UN's notorious Goldstone report, still buy into Palestinian casualty figures hook, line and sinker, vastly exaggerating Palestinian civilian fatalities while overlooking hundreds of combatant fatalities. <BR><BR>The IDF, which conducted a detailed post-offensive investigation into Palestinian fatalities, found that there were 1,166 Palestinian fatalities, including 709 combatants, from what was dubbed Operation Cast Lead. And it identified every one of them. In three weeks of grueling ground combat, in the face of terrorist fire from amidst Gaza civilians, the number of Palestinian combatant fatalities still substantially exceeded the number of non-combatants -- by a margin of 6 to 4. <BR><BR>These breakdowns, however, were mostly ignored by mainstream media, while overall casualty totals were vastly inflated by the Palestinian side and by self-appointed human-rights groups. And, more often than not, combatant-versus-noncombatants breakdowns never made it into print. <BR><BR>To this day, the New York Times, in referring to Israel's 2008-2009 Gaza offensive, simply mentions that 1,400 Palestinians were killed. Which falsely suggests that Israel used disproportionate force. A breakdown of civilians and non-civilians would throw light on what actually happened. But that king of reporting is not fit to print in the New York Times. <BR><BR>In similar vein, the UN's Goldstone report accepted largely pro-Palestinian statistics to buttress its gross libel that the IDF deliberately targeted civilians. <BR><BR>Ironically, Hamas -- long after the ground war was over -- accepted breakdowns much closer to the truth. Why? Because, on reflection, phony big numbers for civilian deaths and phony small numbers for combatant deaths were apt to minimize Hamas's "heroic" resistance against Israeli forces. So, Hamas belated announced that it had lost 600 to 700 of its fighters - a range quite close to the IDF's conclusions. <BR><BR>But this also is of little interest to Western reporters determined to martyrize Palestinians while maligning Israel and its military. <BR><BR><I>Leo Rennert is a former White House correspondent and Washington bureau chief of McClatchy Newspapers</I> <BR><A href="http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/12/idfs_unparalleled_record_of_sparing_civilians_in_counter-terrorism_operations.html" target=BLANK>http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/12/idfs_unparalleled_record_of_sparing_civilians_in_counter-terrorism_operations.html</A></P><br /><P>Gillibrand-Risch Resolution Urging U.N.

No one disputes that, by this simple calculation, Palestinian deaths outnumber those endured by the Israelis – by a lot. That approach, however, invokes a widely used mathematical idiom: statistics lie. <br /><P></P><br /><P>According to <A href="http://www.ict.org.il/Articles/tabid/66/Articlsid/443/Default.aspx" target=_blank>a study by the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism</A>, between 2000 and early 2003, nearly 2,000 Palestinians had been killed compared to 750 Israelis. But a closer, more robust look at the numbers uncovers the flaws of that effortless assessment. Indeed, it is clear that these disproportionate death tolls are due to the fact that there are many more Palestinian combatant deaths than Israeli combatant deaths. Palestinians’ rejection of Israelis’ far superior heath care, along with the Palestinians’ use of human-shields, has widely distorted these numbers in favor of the Palestinians.</P><br /><P>The most significant problem with a simple death toll is that it includes deaths of combatants (i.e. terrorists, suicide bombers, etc.). If you remove combatants from the equation and only look at noncombatants (innocent civilians), the tables immediately turn in favor of the Israelis.</P><br /><P>According to the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism, 80% of the Israeli death toll is comprised of innocent civilians. On the Palestinian side, only 45% of those killed are non-combatants. Moreover, 40% of Israelis killed are females, compared with just 5% for Palestinian deaths. The numbers clearly indicate that the Palestinians actually target Israeli noncombatants and females, while Israel focuses solely on those that pose a threat, while at times inadvertently killing innocent civilians.</P><br /><P>But even that assessment does not tell the whole story. <A href="http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind0105d&L=paldev&P=55" target=_blank>According to the <EM>Jerusalem Post</EM></A>, because “Palestinian medical facilities are unable to treat many of their wounded adequately,” Israel offered the Palestinians their assistance. “The Israeli Health Minister Nissim Dahan has several times offered to treat ‘all Palestinians wounded in the current intifada in Israeli hospitals and at Israeli expense,’ but the Palestinians have not bothered to reply...”</P><br /><P>It's hard to understand why the Palestinians would ever opt to reject this offer. But it is likely driven by the Palestinian leadership's understanding that when one of their citizens dies, Israel bears the burden. Motives aside, it is clear that many of the Palestinian noncombatant deaths could have been prevented had they accepted Israel’s gracious offer. Indeed, a significant reason for the disparity in deaths between the Israelis and the Palestinians is due to Israel’s far better health care capabilities.</P><br /><P>Moreover, Israel displays a firm commitment to protect innocent life, while Palestinian combatants deliberately target innocent civilians and women, as the data suggests. The Israeli Army has <A href="http://www.boston.com/news/packages/iraq/globe_stories/042003_code.htm" target=_blank>a code of ethics</A>. Israeli soldiers must act “out of recognition of the supreme value of human life," and “do all in [their] power to avoid causing harm to [noncombatants'] lives, bodies, dignity, and property.”</P><br /><P>Hamas forces, on the other hand, have been known to surround themselves with innocent civilians, <A href="http://www.mfa.gov.il/MFA/Terrorism-+Obstacle+to+Peace/Hamas+war+against+Israel/Hamas+exploitation+of+civilians+as+human+shields+-+Photographic+evidence.htm" target=_blank>creating human shields</A>, in order to prevent Israel from attacking legitimate military targets. The intention is to tilt public opinion and inflate the number of innocent Palestinians killed by making it impossible for Israel to carry out its missions.</P><br /><P>Consider the story of Abu Bilal al-Ja’abeer, <A href="http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid1140772454001?bckey=AQ~~,AAAA4Q0OiRE~,zBDGy0QklBlMT3nMCupudyS5B02SHi6B&bctid=1139242565001" target=_blank>told by</A> Ja’abeer himself on Arab television. When Israeli forces targeted his house, they didn’t blindly bomb it. Instead, they alerted Ja’abeer that he had “five minutes to evacuate the house. You and your children.” Ja’abeer proceeded to call in friends and neighbors to form a shield around his house, making it impossible for Israel to carry out its legitimate mission.</P><br /><P>This practice, however, is not simply employed as a means of protecting one's private property. Hamas MP Fathi Hammad said in <A href="http://www.memritv.org/newsletter/clip1710.htm" target=_blank>a speech on February 29, 2008</A>, that "For the Palestinian people, death has become an industry ... This is why they have formed human shields of the women, the children, the elderly, and the mujahideen..." Not only is this method illegal under international law, but Hammad also felt the need to go even further. "We desire death like [the Zionists] desire life," he concluded.</P><br /><P>The Israeli army attempts to save the lives of legitimate military targets, and the Palestinians use that as an opportunity to <A href="http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Politics/intlpo.html" target=_blank>tilt public opinion</A> by causing more Palestinian deaths. The Israeli army should be praised for respecting the rights of all humans, even those who present a legitimate threat to Israel’s national security. Instead, Israel is the primary source of international opposition and is often tagged as the world’s worst human rights violator.</P><br /><P>It’s time we not only educate ourselves before simply grasping onto public opinion, but also stop singling out a nation that should actually be passionately praised. Israel has endured vicious, inaccurate criticism throughout its entire history, and those who perpetuate those claims will only find themselves on the wrong side of history.</P></BLOCKQUOTE><A href="http://www.policymic.com/articles/why-do-palestinian-deaths-outnumber-israeli-deaths" target=blank>http://www.policymic.com/articles/why-do-palestinian-deaths-outnumber-israeli-deaths</A><BR><A href="http://jesskcoleman.com/Jess_K._Coleman/Journalism_files/Why%2520Do%2520Palestinian%2520Deaths%2520Outnumber%2520Israeli%2520Deaths.pdf" target=blank>http://jesskcoleman.com/Jess_K._Coleman/Journalism_files/Why%2520Do%2520Palestinian%2520Deaths%2520Outnumber%2520Israeli%2520Deaths.pdf</A> <br /><P></P><br /><DIV>Examination of the number of Palestinians killed during Operation Cast Lead indicates that most were armed terrorist operatives and members of Hamas’s security forces involved in fighting against the IDF.

The basic reason behind the civilian casualties was <STRONG>Hamas's (and the other terrorist organizations') strategic decision to establish their military networks and fight against the IDF from within densely-populated civilian areas, making extensive use of the population as human shields </STRONG>(for example shooting from within or around residential dwelling and public institutions; booby-trapping civilian structures, including a school; operating from within groups of civilians, including children; and dressing terrorists as civilians, enabling them to melt into the civilian crowd). <SUP>2</SUP></P><br /><P class=style9 align=center>Hamas's media policy: concealing its own casualties <BR>while magnifying harm done to civilians </P><br /><P align=justify>4. During Operation Cast Lead Hamas adopted <STRONG>the policy of </STRONG><STRONG>concealing its own casualties </STRONG>to prevent morale from flagging and to reinforce the (false) impression that Israel was deliberately directing its military operations against Gazan civilians. Surfers on PALDF, Hamas's main Internet forum, were informed that it was strictly forbidden to post the names, pictures or any identifying details about "resistance" [i.e., terrorist] operatives killed or wounded until the end of the "Israeli aggression" in the Gaza Strip <SUP>3</SUP> (see the Appendix for the text of the instructions).

That was manifested by the creation of a false propaganda presentation of the mass killing of civilians in the Gaza Strip (the "holocaust" claimed by pro-Hamas propaganda) and the reduction or hiding of the blow dealt to Hamas's military infrastructure and its terrorist operatives. All of the above were aimed at serving the "victory narrative" which Hamas has been carefully constructing since the end of Operation Cast Lead. </P><br /><P align=justify>6. Hamas, which controls all information originating in the Gaza Strip, issued <STRONG>exaggerated numbers </STRONG>of the number of "civilians" killed during Operation Cast Lead, while feeding the media <STRONG>false data </STRONG>and <STRONG>selective, biased reports </STRONG>about the number of armed operatives killed.

The IDF Spokesman noted that the IDF took far-reaching steps to prevent the civilian population from being harmed, and to that end distributed millions of flyers, utilized the Palestinian media, made telephone calls to Gazans, fired warning shots and briefed commanders and soldiers to exercise extreme caution when dealing with the civilian population (IDF Spokesman's website, March 26, 2009 ). Following reports in the Israel media about statements made by soldiers at the Rabin military preparation center, the Military Police held an investigation. It was found that crucial components of the soldiers' descriptions were based on hearsay and not supported by specific personal knowledge. Following the findings, the Israeli Military Advocate General, Brigadier General Avichai Mendelblit, decided to close the investigation and determined that no evidence had been found for the claims.

[Melanie Phillips, Daily Mail, January 17, 2010: <br /><blockquote><br />... Clegg should be condemned in the strongest possible terms for his support of racism. For he is supporting the ethnic cleansing of Jews from a future state of Palestine.<br /><br />Why does the expansion of Jewish housing in the suburbs of Jerusalem prevent a state of Palestine from being established? Only because Abbas and his cronies have said over and over again that not one Jew will be allowed to live in their state of Palestine.<br /><br />That <span style="color:red;">racist agenda</span> is what Clegg and Cameron are supporting. They too assume that, by definition, wherever Jews are living cannot be subsumed into Palestine. Some 20 per cent of Israel's population are Israeli Arabs.<br /><br />Why don't Clegg and Cameron support the idea that there can be Palestinian Jews? Why do they not only agree that a future state of Palestine must be Judenrein but even blame Israel for 'vandalism' by failing to go along with that racist idea?<br /><br />[...]<br /><br />Why are Cameron and Clegg supporting the Holocaust-denier Abbas and his <span style="color:red;">racist Palestinian Authority which pumps out hideous, Nazi-style demonisation of Jews and the intention to destroy Israel</span> [- as here,<ref>http://www.memritv.org/clip_transcript/en/3258.htm</ref> here,<ref>http://palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=452&fld_id=452&doc_id=6099</ref> and here,<ref>http://palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=157&doc_id=5954</ref> along with countless other examples -] and which extols those who have slaughtered Israelis as great Palestinian heroes whose murderous Jew-hatred serves as an example for Palestinian children to emulate?<br />For Cameron and Clegg to welcome this monster to Britain, while themselves demonising the nation he wants to wipe out and against which his administration incites hatred and murder week in, week out, is a truly sickening spectacle.<ref>"Cameron and Clegg give a free pass to racism."

The infamous “Zionism is Racism” resolution was passed in 1975<br /><br /><a href="http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/UN/unantisem.html" target="blank">http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/UN/unantisem.html</a></p><br /><br /><p>Testimony of The Anti-Defamation League on The United Nations..<br /><br /><a href="http://www.adl.org/durban/testimony.asp" target="blank">http://www.adl.org/durban/testimony.asp</a></p><br /><br /><p>Jul 31, 2001 – The infamous “Zionism = racism” resolution was rescinded and the UN<br /><br />What is the evidence that the United Nations is biased against Israel ...<br /><br />[...] The UN General Assembly is still dominated by blocks of third-world countries that are anti-American and anti-Israel. The numerical strength of the Arab states and the Non-Aligned Movement in the General Assembly created the long series of offensive, anti-Israel, anti-American and anti-Western resolutions, capped by the infamous 1975 “Zionism equals racism” Resolution 3379. Except for Resolution 3379 itself, repealed in 1991, these black marks of injustice remain on the General Assembly’s record.</p><br /><br /><p>In December 1991, the infamous 1975 “Zionism equals racism” resolution was repealed by the General Ass<br /><br />embly. The repeal effort, which should have been a self-evident proposition, required an extensive diplomatic lobbying campaign by the United States, Israel and a few others. It included the direct, personal participation of President Bush, Vice President Quayle, and Secretary of State Baker; massive efforts by every regional bureau of the Department of State in Washington, American Ambassadors and their staffs in New York and every UN member capital; and lobbying by private groups around the world. The very difficulty of repealing Resolution 3379 showed just how deeply ingrained in the UN system was its anti-Semitic bias, and why, even after repeal, its effects linger.</p><br /><br /><p>The UN has repeatedly held Emergency Special Sessions of the General Assembly on Israeli construction in Jerusalem. The Emergency Special Session was originally convened in 1950 for emergencies like the Korean War. In the last 15 years, these special meetings have only been held regarding Israel. Emergency Special Sessions were not convened over the genocide in Rwanda, ethnic cleansing in the former Yugoslavia, or with regard to the other major world conflicts, but they were convened to condemn Israelis moving into buildings they own in territory they have a legitimate claim to.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.palestinefacts.org/pf_faq_palestine_un_anti_israel_bias.php" target="blank">http://www.palestinefacts.org/pf_faq_palestine_un_anti_israel_bias.php</a><br /><br />... In 1974, when the UN General Assembly invited Yaser Arafat to address the body, and in 1975 granted the PLO “observer status”, the first time any non-nation was give such recognition or standing.</p><br /><br /><p>Even with this prelude, it was shocking when on November 10, 1975 the United Nations General Assembly adopted, by a vote of 72 to 35 (with 32 abstentions), its Resolution 3379, which states as its conclusion..<br /><br /><a href="http://www.palestinefacts.org/pf_1967to1991_un_zionism_racism.php" target="blank">http://www.palestinefacts.org/pf_1967to1991_un_zionism_racism.php</a></p><br /><br /><p>Anti-Semitism Entraps U.N.<br /><br />Palm Beach Post - Nov 7, 1975<br /><br />By Abba Eban</p><br /><br /><p>The United Nations began its life as an anti-Nazi alliance. Thirty years later it is on the way to becoming the world center of anti-Semitism. There is no other tribunal form which such a torrent of abuse is poured forth every year against values, ideals and articles of faith revered by the Jewish people across the centuries. The horrifying truth that Hitler himself would often have felt at home in a forum which gave applause to a gun-toting Yasir Arafat and an obsequious ovation to the murderous Idi Amin.</p><br /><br /><p>There is, of course, no difference whatever between anti-Semitism and the denial of Israel’s statehood. Classical anti-Semitism denies the equal rights of Jews as citizens within society. Anti-Zionism denies the equal rights of the Jewish people to its lawful sovereignty within the community of nations. The common principle in the two cases is discrimination.</p><br /><br /><p>Zionism is nothing more — but also nothing less — that the Jewish people’s sense of origin and destination in the land linked eternally with its name. It is also the instrument whereby the Jewish nation seeks an authentic fulfillment of itself.</p><br /><br /><p>And the drama is enacted in the region in which the Arab nation has realized its sovereignty in 20 states comprising 200 million people in four and a half million square miles, with vast resources.</p><br /><br /><p>The issue therefore is not whether the world will come to terms with Arab nationalism. The question is at what point Arab nationalism, with its prodigious glut if advantage, wealth and opportunity, will come to terms with the modest but equal right of another Middle Eastern nation to pursue its life in security and peace.</p><br /><br /><p>There are any ways in which Zionism can be defined. I hold in memory a concise formulation made 28 years ago: When Arab armies has attacked Israel on the day of its birth. Andrei Gromyko said in the Security Council on May 21, 1948, that Arab military operations were “aimed at the suppression of a national liberation movement.” It is as simple as that. Truth does not change just because those who proclaim it get tired of their own veracity.</p><br /><br /><p>Recently, a coalition of Moslem and Communist depotisms, reinforced, I hope temporarily, by a few Latin-American governments, produced an innovation. In the past decade it has often been possible for the United Nations to adopt resolutions criticizing the policies of member states — provided only that they are non-Moslem non-Communist states which practice parliamentary democracy and are not in the “third world” There are not very many of these, and these alone are considered fair game.</p><br /><br /><p>But never before until recently has the Moslem-Communist coalition sought to deploy its assured majority for the defamation of an ideology, a historic doctrine and a spiritual faith endorsed by the United Nations itself 28 years ago. What the General Assembly’s Social, Humanitarian and Cultural Committee conducted was not so much a debate as a doctrinal Inquisition, as in the Middle Ages.</p><br /><br /><p>The Intellectual default is no less spectacular that the moral decline. The charge is, of all things, “racism”! Yet it is just as natural for Arabs to be citizens and members of Parliament in Israel today as it is inconceivable for non-Moslems to be citizens, still less office-holders, in Saudi Arabia or Yemen.</p><br /><br /><p>The real essence of the draft resolution is to affirm a principle of monolithic exclusiveness for the Middle East, and to iron out all wrinkles of diversity. Thus, Kurdish individualities brutally oppressed in Iraq; the Christian particularity of Lebanon is to be drowned in a bloodbath; and Israel’s specific Jewish vocation is assailed. The purpose of the resolution’s sponsors is that in a region where many nations, tongues and faiths had their birth the monopoly of independence must be for Moslem pan-Arabism alone. The paradox is that Israel is less likely than others to be injured by the fiasco. The strongest of certainties is that Israel will not disappear, or be swallowed up into something else, or renounce its name, its tongue, its faith, its Jewish solidarities or its Zionist vocation...<br /><br /><a href="http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=7iYvAAAAIBAJ&sjid=qs0FAAAAIBAJ&pg=3758,2505344" target="blank">http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=7iYvAAAAIBAJ&sjid=qs0FAAAAIBAJ&pg=3758,2505344</a><br /><br />Zionism and the U.N.<br /><br />New York Times - Nov 3, 1975<br /><br />By Abba Eban<br /><br /><a href="http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F20810FE3B5F1B7493C1A9178AD95F418785F9" target="blank">http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F20810FE3B5F1B7493C1A9178AD95F418785F9</a></p><br /><br /><p>Out of step: life-story of a politician : politics and religion in a world ... - Page 112 Jack Brian Bloom - Antisemitism - 2005 - 391 pages<br /><br />"<b><span style="color:red;">Arabism is racism</span></b>" would have been an interesting debating topic.

Hypocrisy is the name of the game.</p><br /><br /><p>Turn the clock back three decades.</p><br /><br /><p>Some things change, others never will - such as the acceptance of anyone else’s political rights in a multi-ethnic region that most Arabs see exclusively as “purely Arab patrimony.” That’s the Arab-Israel conflict in a nutshell; but it is also the core of the Arab-Berber, Arab-Kurd, Arab-Black African, Arab-Copt, Arab-Assyrian, Arab-non-Arab Lebanese conflicts, as well, among others. The Arabs’ Anfal Campaign against the Kurds and their actions in Darfur and the rest of the southern Sudan are just a few of many examples of Arab genocidal actions against all who might disagree.</p><br /><br /><p>To be accepted, and not literally exterminated, one must do what Egypt’s most successful Copt did - consent to this age-old forced subjugation and Arabization. Dr. Boutros Boutros Ghali became a top official in President Anwar Sadat’s government and went on to become Secretary General of the United Nations, as well.</p><br /><br /><p>“Uncle Butros” instead of “Uncle Tom”.</p><br /><br /><p>He also instructed that for it to be accepted, Israel, as an entire country, must consent to being Arabized; like those Kurdish kids in Syrian Kurdistan who are forced today to sing songs praising their “Arab identity” and so forth.</p><br /><br /><p>Back in the 1970s, I was a consultant for a major organization while trying to finish my own doctoral work. One of my main jobs involved being brought in by dozens of major colleges and universities across a three-state region in the American Midwest to balance anti-Israel spokesmen on campus. One such visit was to Ohio University in Athens, near my small-mouth bass fishing grounds in the Hocking River.</p><br /><br /><p>OU was famous for its English language program for foreign students, so there were numerous folks there from all over the Arab and African worlds.</p><br /><br /><p>Those were the days of the United Nations’ infamous Zionism Equals Racism resolution. Arab and pro-Arab professors were already hijacking the campus scene, constantly putting Israel under the high-power lens of moral scrutiny in ways that they would never dream of doing to the Jewish State’s surrounding Arab neighbors.</p><br /><br /><p>It was arranged for me to come to deliver a lecture to balance one given previously by the other side.</p><br /><br /><p>The Arabs and their supporters - often left-wing Jews themselves - were “loaded for game” when they heard of my invitation. But so was I.</p><br /><br /><p>I was a card-carrying member of the London-based Anti-Slavery Society, and persistent reports were coming through of slavery (and worse) still being practiced in Arab lands, the lands of some of the same folks screaming about alleged “Zionist racists”. I prepared a small booklet called “Look Who’s Calling the Kettle Black”, which consisted of about a dozen short articles dealing with the hypocrisy of the Arab position. I had numerous copies prepared for distribution.</p><br /><br /><p>I had some of my host students in the audience ready for action. They were in the company of hundreds who packed the lecture hall, including college officials, professors and so forth. Unlike some of the Hillel organizations elsewhere, the director at OU was on the ball when it came to these issues. My cadre consisted largely of Hillel members.</p><br /><br /><p>After my presentation, I had my usual question-and-answer session. That’s when the proverbial manure hit the fan. I was anticipating a Zionism-equals-racism question from the audience and, sure enough, I was blessed with one.</p><br /><br /><p>I calmly replied, “Since you are so concerned about such issues, I believe you’ll be interested in the packet of information you are about to receive.”</p><br /><br /><p>I then had my cadre pass out the “Look Who’s Calling The Kettle Black” booklets.</p><br /><br /><p>After the commotion and dust settled, and it was time to leave for my hotel, several carloads of Arab students followed me. Some members of my group decided it was best to keep me company that night. Think of the Danish cartoons and the Pope’s comment incidents today. The Arab idea of free speech is the same now as it was back then, and as it has always been.</p><br /><br /><p>The next day, before returning to my office in Columbus, I decided to visit the nearby famous boot factory in Nelsonville.</p><br /><br /><p>What I’m going to relate next may sound a bit melodramatic, but it was for real.</p><br /><br /><p>I was on one of the top floors of the factory outlet looking at brand-name dress boots. There was hardly anyone else there, so I was sort of isolated.</p><br /><br /><p>All of a sudden, I spotted a half dozen tall, Black men down the aisle from me. One of them then called out, “Mr. Hooonigmannn!”</p><br /><br /><p>After my experience the night before, I figured that my time on Earth was up. There were definitely folks at OU who wanted to kill me that night. I nervously stood my ground as they ran up to me.</p><br /><br /><p>And if you offered me a million dollars, I would not have traded it for the subsequent experience.</p><br /><br /><p>As they grabbed my hands, they said, “Thank you so much for last night. We had never heard or seen what you shared with us before.”</p><br /><br /><p>Should I be ashamed to tell you of the tears in my eyes at that moment?</p><br /><br /><p>These were not just any folks. These were students, sent by their countries, who would later go on to become some of those nations’ future professionals and leaders.</p><br /><br /><p>As I did on dozens of other campuses, through scores of other platforms, and in dozens of op-eds for leading newspapers all over the region, I tried my best to help change some minds - one at a time.</p><br /><br /><p>The struggle is as hard, if not harder, today, but those of us who care have no other choice but to continue in this ever-growing uphill battle for a bit of justice for the Jew of the nations.<br /><a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=24912" target="blank">http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=24912</a></p><br /><br /><p>Canadian Friends ICEJ Spearheaded Successful Campaign To ...<br /><br /><br />INFAMOUS UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY RESOLUTION 3379 DECLARING...<br /><a href="http://www.cdn-friends-icej.ca/un/anti3379.html" target="BLANK">http://www.cdn-friends-icej.ca/un/anti3379.html</a></p><br /><br /><p><br />One Against the World<br /><br />UN resolutions established the State of Israel and through them this country ... the notorious resolution equating Zionism with racism, passed in November 1975 .... law became increasingly central to the UN agenda, the Arab lobby has been...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.cdn-friends-icej.ca/un/one.html" target="BLANK">http://www.cdn-friends-icej.ca/un/one.html</a></p><br /><br /><p><br />United Nations Anti Israel Arab Lobby<br /><br />The most repugnant of these anti-Semitic resolutions came in November 1975,..<br /><br /><a href="http://www.scottishfriendsofisrael.org/united_nations.htm" target="BLANK">http://www.scottishfriendsofisrael.org/united_nations.htm</a></p><br /><br /><p>THE UN'S ANTI-ZIONISM RESOLUTION: CHRISTIAN RESPONSES...<br /><br />by JH Banki<br /><br />United Nations resolution equating Zionism with racism "be counter- balanced ..... than the Arab lobby usually encounters on UN votes...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.ajcarchives.org/AJC_DATA/Files/740.PDF" target="BLANK">http://www.ajcarchives.org/AJC_DATA/Files/740.PDF</a></p><br /><br /><p>The Arab Lobby: The Invisible Alliance That Undermines America's Interests in the Middle East - Page 411 - Mitchell Bard - HarperCollins, 2010 - 412 pages<br /><br />...

Goldstone admits the “apartheid” slur, is a lie, a slander!</b><br /></p><br /><br /><br /><p>Richard J. Goldstone, is a former justice of the South African Constitutional Court, who led the United Nations fact-finding mission on the Gaza conflict of 2008-9. He was quick to “accuse” Israel of “war crimes” in its (2008-9) anti-Terror operation (‘Cast Lead’). But retracted it after learning the facts.<a class="external autonumber" href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/apr/5/goldstone-retracts-war-crime-charges-against-israe/" rel="nofollow">[1]</a> In 2011 (Oct.) he wrote an Op Ed in the <i>New York Times</i>: “Israel and the Apartheid Slander.”</p><br /><blockquote><br /><br /><p>The need for reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians has never been greater. So it is important to separate legitimate criticism of Israel from assaults that aim to isolate, demonize and delegitimize it.</p><br /><p>One particularly pernicious and enduring canard that is surfacing again is that Israel pursues “apartheid” policies. In Cape Town starting on Saturday, a London-based nongovernmental organization called the Russell Tribunal on Palestine will hold a “hearing” on whether Israel is guilty of the crime of apartheid. It is not a “tribunal.” The “evidence” is going to be one-sided and the members of the “jury” are critics whose harsh views of Israel are well known.</p><br /><p>While “apartheid” can have broader meaning, its use is meant to evoke the situation in pre-1994 South Africa. It is an unfair and inaccurate slander against Israel, calculated to retard rather than advance peace negotiations.<br /></p><br /><p>I know all too well the cruelty of South Africa’s abhorrent apartheid system, under which human beings characterized as black had no rights to vote, hold political office, use “white” toilets or beaches, marry whites, live in whites-only areas or even be there without a “pass.” Blacks critically injured in car accidents were left to bleed to death if there was no “black” ambulance to rush them to a “black” hospital. “White” hospitals were prohibited from saving their lives.</p><br /><p>In assessing the accusation that Israel pursues apartheid policies, which are by definition primarily about race or ethnicity, it is important first to distinguish between the situations in Israel, where Arabs are citizens, and in West Bank areas that remain under Israeli control in the absence of a peace agreement.</p><br /><p>In Israel, there is no apartheid. Nothing there comes close to the definition of apartheid under the 1998 Rome Statute: “Inhumane acts … committed in the context of an institutionalized regime of systematic oppression and domination by one racial group over any other racial group or groups and committed with the intention of maintaining that regime.” Israeli Arabs — 20 percent of Israel’s population — vote, have political parties and representatives in the Knesset and occupy positions of acclaim, including on its Supreme Court. Arab patients lie alongside Jewish patients in Israeli hospitals, receiving identical treatment.</p><br /><p>To be sure, there is more de facto separation between Jewish and Arab populations than Israelis should accept. Much of it is chosen by the communities themselves. Some results from discrimination. But it is not apartheid, which consciously enshrines separation as an ideal. In Israel, equal rights are the law, the aspiration and the ideal; inequities are often successfully challenged in court.</p><br /><p>The situation in the West Bank is more complex. But here too there is no intent to maintain “an institutionalized regime of systematic oppression and domination by one racial group.” This is a critical distinction, even if Israel acts oppressively toward Palestinians there. South Africa’s enforced racial separation was intended to permanently benefit the white minority, to the detriment of other races. By contrast, Israel has agreed in concept to the existence of a Palestinian state in Gaza and almost all of the West Bank, and is calling for the Palestinians to negotiate the parameters.</p><br /><p>But until there is a two-state peace, or at least as long as Israel’s citizens remain under threat of attacks from the West Bank and Gaza, Israel will see roadblocks and similar measures as necessary for self-defense, even as Palestinians feel oppressed. As things stand, attacks from one side are met by counterattacks from the other. And the deep disputes, claims and counterclaims are only hardened when the offensive analogy of “apartheid” is invoked.</p><br /><p>Those seeking to promote the myth of Israeli apartheid often point to clashes between heavily armed Israeli soldiers and stone-throwing Palestinians in the West Bank, or the building of what they call an “apartheid wall” and disparate treatment on West Bank roads. While such images may appear to invite a superficial comparison, it is disingenuous to use them to distort the reality. The security barrier was built to stop unrelenting terrorist attacks; while it has inflicted great hardship in places, the Israeli Supreme Court has ordered the state in many cases to reroute it to minimize unreasonable hardship. Road restrictions get more intrusive after violent attacks and are ameliorated when the threat is reduced.</p><br /><p>Of course, the Palestinian people have national aspirations and human rights that all must respect. But those who conflate the situations in Israel and the West Bank and liken both to the old South Africa do a disservice to all who hope for justice and peace.</p><br /><p>Jewish-Arab relations in Israel and the West Bank cannot be simplified to a narrative of Jewish discrimination. There is hostility and suspicion on both sides. Israel, unique among democracies, has been in a state of war with many of its neighbors who refuse to accept its existence. Even some Israeli Arabs, because they are citizens of Israel, have at times come under suspicion from other Arabs as a result of that longstanding enmity.</p><br /><p>The mutual recognition and protection of the human dignity of all people is indispensable to bringing an end to hatred and anger. The charge that Israel is an apartheid state is a false and malicious one that precludes, rather than promotes, peace and harmony.<a class="external autonumber" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/01/opinion/israel-and-the-apartheid-slander.html?_r=2&hp" rel="nofollow">[2]</a></p></blockquote><br />J. B. Pollack explains the context and timely importance of the Op Ed article:<br /><br /><br /><blockquote><br />Goldstone’s article anticipates the forthcoming “Russell Tribunal on Palestine,” to be held in South Africa. Named after the hearings held in the 1960s by philosopher Bertrand Russell in the United Kingdom to protest the Vietnam War, the Russell Tribunal will bring the emotive symbolism of apartheid to a make-believe judicial process whose outcome is already predetermined.<br /><br />The chair of the panel, anti-war activist Terry Crawford-Browne, has already called for international boycotts of Israel. One of the star witnesses is Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, who conducted a reign of terror in South Africa’s black townships in the 1980s. Another is former U.S. Representative Cynthia McKinney, who recently busied herself with propaganda for Muammar Gaddafi.<br /><br /><p></p><br /><p>Despite the panel’s obvious lack of credibility, it will no doubt be touted by western leftists and third world governments as the basis for a renewed push at the United Nations to isolate Israel and promote unilateral Palestinian statehood. Goldstone’s op-ed is a timely rejoinder and the beginning of what appears to be sincere penance for the damage done by his slanderous report on the Gaza conflict of 2008-9.<a class="external autonumber" href="http://bigpeace.com/jpollak/2011/11/04/goldstone-israel-not-an-apartheid-state" rel="nofollow">[3]</a></p></blockquote><br /><br /><br /><p class="clear"><span style="font-size:78%;color:#ffffff;">Tags: </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/palestine/" rel="tag"><span style="font-size:78%;color:#ffffff;">"palestine"</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;color:#ffffff;">, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/apartheid/" rel="tag"><span style="font-size:78%;color:#ffffff;">Apartheid</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;color:#ffffff;">, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/apartheid-lie/" rel="tag"><span style="font-size:78%;color:#ffffff;">apartheid lie</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;color:#ffffff;">, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/apartheid-slander/" rel="tag"><span style="font-size:78%;color:#ffffff;">apartheid slander</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;color:#ffffff;">, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/apartheid-slur/" rel="tag"><span style="font-size:78%;color:#ffffff;">apartheid slur</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;color:#ffffff;">, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/arab-racism/" rel="tag"><span style="font-size:78%;color:#ffffff;">Arab racism</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;color:#ffffff;">, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/cast-lead/" rel="tag"><span style="font-size:78%;color:#ffffff;">Cast Lead</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;color:#ffffff;">, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/cynthia-mckinney/" rel="tag"><span style="font-size:78%;color:#ffffff;">Cynthia McKinney</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;color:#ffffff;">, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/goldstone-report/" rel="tag"><span style="font-size:78%;color:#ffffff;">Goldstone report</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;color:#ffffff;">, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/islamic-bigotry/" rel="tag"><span style="font-size:78%;color:#ffffff;">Islamic bigotry</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;color:#ffffff;">, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/israel/" rel="tag"><span style="font-size:78%;color:#ffffff;">Israel</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;color:#ffffff;">, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/israeli-democracy/" rel="tag"><span style="font-size:78%;color:#ffffff;">Israeli democracy</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;color:#ffffff;">, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/judge-goldstone/" rel="tag"><span style="font-size:78%;color:#ffffff;">Judge Goldstone</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;color:#ffffff;">, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/muammar-gaddafi/" rel="tag"><span style="font-size:78%;color:#ffffff;">Muammar Gaddafi</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;color:#ffffff;">, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/pallywood/" rel="tag"><span style="font-size:78%;color:#ffffff;">Pallywood</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;color:#ffffff;">, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/richard-j-goldstone/" rel="tag"><span style="font-size:78%;color:#ffffff;">Richard J.

Jewish capital has been flowing into that country since the Peace, and <FONT color=#ff0000>Jewish capital has improved Arab conditions</FONT>. You cannot pour capital into a country and simply confine its benefits to one section of the community.... you cannot restore a land so let down as this without a good deal of loss, and if these people, who have got an historic affection for this land, are prepared to sink their capital there, and to lose it—they are not people who will do It in every land as a rule—but if they are prepared to do it out of natural love and affection for this country, why should we hinder them?...</P><br /><P><FONT color=#0000ff>The Jews are 20 per cent. of the population, and their contribution to the revenue of Palestine is between 40 and 50 per cent</FONT>. That is what enabled the Palestine Government to raise a loan of £4,000,000 or £5,000,000 85 —[Interruption]—£4,500,000 was raised as a development loan, most of which <FONT color=#ff0000>provided labour for the Arabs</FONT>, it was not spent upon the Jewish settlements there. We are told the Jews are using their wealth for the purpose of driving the poor Arab fellaheen from the soil of their fathers. It is not true. <FONT color=#ff0000>Most of the land cultivated by the Jews is land which they have reclaimed from the wilderness</FONT>. Here and there, no doubt, upon the fringe of a morass, a little squalid Arab village may have been disturbed, but there have only been 700 taken out in order that it might be possible to drain the land. Half of them have been put back on the land and the others have found some other work. Here is a phrase which I will quote to the House: ‘<FONT color=#ff0000>Most of the land acquired by the Jews was swampy and malarial and required heavy expenditure on drainage before it could be made habitable</FONT>. Much of the rest was sand dunes.’ What is the result? Not merely can you settle more people on the land, but you have improved the health of the community. Malaria is a very serious disease there, and it was slaughtering these poor people, and by this enormous expenditure of Zion and the other associations, such as the Colonisation Society, great tracts of territory have been drained in these areas and malaria has been eliminated. I would like somebody to take the trouble to read the eloquent description given by my right hon. Friend the Member for Darwen (Sir H. Samuel) when he was Commissioner of Palestine of this area. Its condition before the Jews went there was a swamp, a morass, created by the famous brook of Kishon. There were just a few miserable Arab villages right up on the hillsides, and not very many people there. The Jews spent £900,000 on draining about 50 square miles, and now there is a population of 2,600—probably it is more now. There are 20 villages, there are schools, there is a little forest in what was a treeless waste—this is very important in Palestine, as T shall point out—there is a training college for women for agriculture, and there are hospitals. That is a description of one valley.</P><br /><P>... Surely with such an increase of population there must have been a great increase in the employment available for the Arab population. <FONT color=#ff0000>The large increase of population has been due undoubtedly, apart from a considerable Arab immigration, to the measures we have taken, in which the Jews have helped, to improve the health of the country</FONT>, ...<BR><A href="http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/commons/1930/nov/17/palestine">http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/commons/1930/nov/17/palestine</A></P><br /><P><EM>PALESTINE (IMMIGRATION).

When I was in Haifa last I saw Jews, driven from Salonica, six feet high and broad-shouldered men, doing the stevedore work in the port, and their complaint was that they were offered precisely the same wage as the Arabs who came in. There again, you have the same discrimination against Jewish labour. Unless you can get the working class in Palestine Jewish it will never be a Jewish country. If you are to go on allowing the capitalist to go in—the merchant and the middleman—you will have repeated in Palestine what has happened in the rest of the world. One hope of making Palestine a Jewish country is to allow the workers to go in and to see that they are not driven out by inferior labour and paid a sweated wage on which the Jew cannot live free.<BR><A href="http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/commons/1934/may/11/palestine-loan-guarantee">http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/commons/1934/may/11/palestine-loan-guarantee</A><BR><EM>Immigration.: 26 Jul 1939: House of Commons debates - TheyWorkForYou<BR></EM><A href="http://www.theyworkforyou.com/debates/?id=1939-07-26a.1454.2">http://www.theyworkforyou.com/debates/?id=1939-07-26a.1454.2</A></P><br /><P><EM>PALESTINE (REFUGEES).Mr Malcolm Macdonald Commons — May 24, 1939<BR></EM><U>Mr. Herbert Morrison</U> Is not the right hon.

This indictment, made by Mahmoud Abbas repeatedly in his speeches, is an Orwellian distortion of the truth, but it has been extremely effective in the public relations war of words that plays out in the United Nations, on the international stage, in the media, and on college campuses every day.</p><br /><br /><p>This is a grave and toxic travesty that needs to be made right. In light of the "Arab Spring" spreading seeds of sharia law throughout the Middle East, Western civilization needs to see the truth. Americans are being hijacked by propaganda against Israel...and not defending Israel's right to be a Jewish state will lead to our own eventual downfall.</p><br /><br /><br /><p>The analogy of Israel to South African apartheid commands a response. Because of its catchy, slick word combination and its connotations that evoke vivid images of human unfairness and suffering, it has became a fashionable narrative for the media and international community's discourse. But it is not factual, and it is very deceptive.</p><br /><br /><br /><p>Labeling Israel "apartheid" is meant to provoke worldwide criticism and elicit human rights-based anger that sanctions demonstrations, boycotts, and the denigration of Jewish morals. This finger-pointing is an intentional attack on Israel. It condones terror in the guise of "freedom-fighters," encourages prosecution of Israeli officials in foreign courts, promotes laws against Israeli goods, and supports boycotts of stores selling Israeli products. It sees the advantage of kidnapping soldiers, allows the destruction of Jewish artifacts and religious sites, and tries to exclude Jews from their legitimate claim to their historic homeland.</p><br /><br /><br /><p>Factually speaking, apartheid was the policy of the South African government as a way of dealing with the white and non-white social, political and economic issues up until 1992. It was the official policy that established and maintained racial segregation and racial discrimination. The South African non-whites could not vote, and they had to carry a "Pass Book," or they risked being jailed or deported. By contrast, all citizens of Israel have equal voting rights. Arabs have eleven representatives in Israel's Knesset, including an Arab on the Israeli Supreme Court. Every citizen must carry an identity card, along with all legal residents. </p><br /><br /><br /><p>In addition, non-white South Africans were kept from a wide range of jobs. They had no free elementary through high school education; mixed sexual relationships were restricted and segregated; hospital and ambulance services were segregated; they could not use most public amenities; sports were segregated; and public facilities were labeled for correct racial usage. Non-whites could not enter a building through the main entrance, be a member of a union, or participate in a strike. That is apartheid, and Israel is <em>not</em> an apartheid state.</p><br /><br /><br /><p>Although many pro-Palestinian organizations are aware that the Israel-apartheid analogy is inaccurate, this rhetoric is continually used to condemn and isolate Israel. Just visit Israel to see the truth...Israeli Arabs shopping at Jerusalem's Mamila Mall, enjoying Tel Aviv beaches, enrolled in the universities, getting hospital care, going on school trips to the zoos, and having free access to public places.</p><br /><br /><br /><p>One of the more outspoken defenders of Israel is Benjamin Pogrund, a Jew born in Cape Town, now living in Israel. Pogrund lived under apartheid, and as an anti-apartheid activist, he took grave risks by reporting the injustices against blacks. He often comments that the comparison of Israel to South African apartheid "greatly minimizes the oppression and misery caused by apartheid and is debasing to its victims."</p><br /><br /><br /><p>In his rebuttal, Pogrund argues that "Israel is not unique in declaring itself a state for a specific people."</p><br /><br /><br /><p>Everyone knows that<em> </em>Egypt is for Egyptians, Ireland is for Irishmen, France for Frenchmen, Italy is for Italians, Serbia for Serbs, China for the Chinese, Iran for the Persians...and the list goes on.</p><br /><br /><br /><p>"Apartheid"-supporters substantiate their stance by claiming that Israel discriminates against Israeli Arabs by barring them from buying land.</p><br /><br /><br /><p>The facts regarding land ownership are clarified by Mitchell Bard, the executive director of the non-profit American-Israeli Cooperative Enterprise (AICE) and a foreign policy analyst who frequently lectures on U.S.-ME policy:</p><br /><br /><br /><blockquote><br /><br /><p>In the early part of the century, the Jewish National Fund was established by the <strong><a href="http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Zionism/wzo.html" target="_blank">World Zionist Congress</a></strong> to purchase land in Palestine for Jewish settlement. This land, and that acquired after Israel's War of Independence, was taken over by the government. Of the total area of Israel, 92% belongs to the State and is managed by the Land Management Authority. It is not for sale to anyone, Jew or Arab. The remaining 8% of the territory is privately owned. The Arab Waqf (the Muslim charitable endowment), for example, owns land that is for the express use and benefit of Muslim Arabs. Government land can be leased by anyone, regardless of race, religion or sex. All Arab citizens of Israel are eligible to lease government land.</p><br /></blockquote><br /><br /><br /><p>The reality is that both Arabs and Jews build homes illegally throughout Israel. And the fact is that the number of illegal Arab homes scheduled for demolition is miniscule compared to Jewish homes that must adhere scrupulously to the rules for fear of condemnation. (Please check Bard's point-by-point <a href="http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/myths/mf18.html">rebuttal</a>.)</p><br /><br /><br /><p>The problems in Israel's Arab communities are much like conditions others face in various places in the world, but Arabs don't point a finger at those places. Only Israel is labeled and attacked as "apartheid." Arabs need only to look at their neighboring countries in the Middle East to find real apartheid. Does anyone honestly believe that Muslim women do not suffer from apartheid in countries with sharia law? Or that Christians and Jews in some Arab nations are being attacked and killed purely because of their religion? More pointedly, both Jordan and Saudi Arabia do not allow Jews to live there, and Saudi Arabia doesn't even let Jews visit.</p><br /><br /><br /><p>There are many "no-class" citizens in the world that Arabs don't care to talk about. One must believe that Abbas just doesn't recognize "apartheid" as he declares that the State of Palestine will be "Judenrein" -- a Jewish-free state. Instead, the label of "apartheid" is stuck on Israel, keeping eyes focused away from the intolerance and bigotry that the PLO and Hamas preach.</p><br /><br /><br /><p>Recently, I took issue with "Students for Justice in Palestine" (SJP), an on-campus pro-Palestinian organization that orchestrated the first National Anti-Israel Conference at Columbia University to "educate" students for participation in "Israel Apartheid Week 2012" on university campuses.</p><br /><br /><br /><p>The SJP supports the Apartheid Movement, the Gaza Freedom Movement that tried to break the Israeli-Egyptian blockade, the BDS movement against Israeli goods, and a One-State Solution <em>with</em> the "Right of Return." There can be no doubt that SJP, hiding behind the veil of human rights activism, supports the end of a Jewish state while "freedom-fighting" terrorists try to accomplish the same goal through violence.</p><br /><br /><p>One question needs to be asked of all those who accuse Israel of being an apartheid state: if Israel gave up all the land rights, forfeited all of the natural resources, and agreed to a One-State Solution <em>with</em> the "Right of Return," would the Jews be able to live in peaceful coexistence with their Arab neighbors? The answer to this question determines the fate of the Jewish people and whether peace is ever attainable.<br /></p></blockquote><a href="http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/10/israeli_democracy_vs_arab_apartheid.html" target="blank">http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/10/israeli_democracy_vs_arab_apartheid.html</a> <br /><p></p><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><br /><p class="clear"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Tags: </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/palestine/" rel="tag"><span style="color:#ffffff;">"palestine"</span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;">, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/apartheid/" rel="tag"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Apartheid</span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;">, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/apartheid-slur/" rel="tag"><span style="color:#ffffff;">apartheid slur</span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;">, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/arab-apartheid/" rel="tag"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Arab apartheid</span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;">, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/arab-apartheid-state-of-palestine/" rel="tag"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Arab Apartheid State of Palestine</span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;">, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/arab-racism/" rel="tag"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Arab racism</span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;">, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/arabs/" rel="tag"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Arabs</span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;">, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/human-rights/" rel="tag"><span style="color:#ffffff;">human rights</span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;">, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/islamic-apartheid/" rel="tag"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Islamic apartheid</span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;">, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/islamic-bigotry/" rel="tag"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Islamic bigotry</span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;">, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/israel/" rel="tag"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Israel</span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;">, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/israeli-democracy-vs-arab-apartheid/" rel="tag"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Israeli democracy Vs Arab Apartheid</span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;">, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/jews/" rel="tag"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Jews</span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;">, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/judenrein/" rel="tag"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Judenrein</span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;">, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/mahmoud-abbas/" rel="tag"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Mahmoud Abbas</span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;">, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/muslims/" rel="tag"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Muslims</span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;">, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/myths-and-facts/" rel="tag"><span style="color:#ffffff;">myths and facts</span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;">, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/non-arabs/" rel="tag"><span style="color:#ffffff;">non arabs</span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;">, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/non-muslims/" rel="tag"><span style="color:#ffffff;">non Muslims</span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;">, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/pallywood/" rel="tag"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Pallywood</span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;">, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/racism/" rel="tag"><span style="color:#ffffff;">racism</span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;">, </span><span style="color:#ffffff;">UN</span></p></span>Free Israelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15467911264414815790noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27386338.post-79640042046641406182011-10-28T12:16:00.000-07:002011-10-28T12:26:02.162-07:00The real racism: Expecting Jews to die meekly [JPost]<p>The real racism: Expecting Jews to die meekly<br /><br />By MARTIN SHERMAN<br />10/27/2011 23:00<br /><br />Into the Fray: Israel needs to once again convey, unapologetically, to the world the rationale for its founding.<br /><br /><br /><p><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="FONT-STYLE: italic">The most accurate way to describe Israel today is as an apartheid state... 3.5 million Palestinians and almost half a million Jews live in the areas Israel occupied in 1967, and yet while these two groups live in the same area, they are subjected to totally different legal systems. The Palestinians are stateless and lack many of the most basic human rights. – Neve Gordon, “Boycott Israel,” Los Angeles Times, August 20, 2009.</span><br /></span><br />Taken from an article by a senior Israeli academic, this excerpt typifies the racist Judeophobic rhetoric that has come to dominate the public discourse on the Israeli- Palestinian conflict.<br /><br />Sadly it is rhetoric that has been endorsed by many in the Israeli academia and media. Even more disturbing is the complicity — or at least complacency — of Israeli officialdom in allowing it to become the defining feature of this discourse.<br /><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Expecting Jews to die meekly</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#6666cc;">This mode of rhetoric is no less than inciteful, Judeophobic racism, because in effect, it embodies the implicit delegitmization of the right of Jews to defend themselves.<br /><br />It embodies the implicit expectation that Jews should consent to die meekly. And how can an expectation that Jews die meekly be characterized other than as “inciteful, Judeophobic racism?” For no matter what the measures Israel adopts to protect its citizens from those undisguisedly trying to murder and maim them — because they are Jews — they are widely condemned as “racist,”</span> “disproportionate violence” or even “war crimes/crimes against humanity.”<br /><br />It matters not whether these measures are administrative decisions or security operations, defensive responses or anticipatory initiatives, punitive retaliations or preemptive strikes. It matters not whether they entail the emplacement of physical barriers to block the infiltration of indiscriminate murderers; the imposition of restrictions to impede their lethal movements; the execution of preventive arrests to foil their deadly intentions; the conduct of targeted killings (with unprecedentedly low levels of collateral damage) to preempt their brutal plans; the launch of military campaigns to prevent the incessant shelling of civilians...<br /><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Lip service to Israel’s right to self-defense </span><br /><br />The depiction of these measures as arbitrary acts of wrongdoing, whose only motivation is racially driven territorial avarice and discriminatory embitterment of the lives of the Palestinians, distorts reality and disregards context. But far more perturbing, is the moral implication of this condemnation.<br /><br />For if all endeavors to prevent, protect or preempt are denounced as morally reprehensible, the inevitable conclusion is that they should not be employed. This implies a no less inevitable conclusion: To avoid the morally reprehensible, the Jewish state should — in effect — allow those who would attack its citizens, to do so with total impunity, and with total immunity from retribution.<br /><br />True, many of Israel’s detractors protest with righteous indignation that they acknowledge that it “has a right to defend itself.” But this is quickly exposed as meaningless lip service, for whenever Israel exercises that allegedly acknowledged right, it is condemned for being excessively heavy-handed.<br /><br />It makes little difference if Israel imposes a legal maritime blockade to prevent the supply of lethal armaments to Islamist extremists; or if Israeli commandos are forced to use deadly force to prevent themselves from being disemboweled by a frenzied lynch mob; or if, in response to the savage slaughter wrought by Palestinian suicide bombers — which relative to its population, dwarfed the losses on 9/11 — Israel clears the terror-infested and boobytrapped Jenin, using ground troops rather than its air force to minimize Palestinian collateral damage, thus incurring needless casualties of its own.<br /><br />No matter how murderous the onslaughts initiated by the Palestinians, no matter how blatant the Palestinian brutality, no matter how outrageous the Palestinian provocation, the Israeli response is deemed inappropriate.<br /><br />Despite the declaration of recognition of some generic abstract right to defend itself and its citizens, it seems that in practice the only “appropriate” response is for Israel to refrain from defending itself.<br /><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Exigencies of security</span><br /><br /><span style="color:red;">Then there is the reverse racism emblazoned in the subtext of the discourse of Israeli policy towards the Palestinians: The victims of racist hatred are condemned as racist for fending off their racist attackers.</span><br /><br />Security barriers are not erected, roadblocks are not put in place, travel restrictions are not enforced as a racist response to Palestinian ethnicity but as a rationale response to Palestinian enmity. To believe otherwise is to fall prey to what Binyamin Netanyahu once called the “reversal of causality.” The blockade of Gaza is a consequence, not a cause, of Hamas’s violence; the West Bank security barrier is the result of, not the reason for, Palestinian terrorism.<br /><br />If not for the massive carnage at Sbarro pizzeria, at Dizengoff Center, at the Passover Seder in the Park Hotel, there would have been no IDF operation in Jenin in 2002. Without the indiscriminate bombardment of Israeli civilians, there would have been no Cast Lead operation in Gaza in 2009. If pregnant women and ambulances were not used to smuggle explosives into Israeli cities, there would be no need for checkpoints and roadblocks. If Palestinian gunmen would not open fire from vehicles on Israeli families passing by, there would be no need to restrict the movement of Palestinians on certain roads. If Palestinians did not ambush Israeli cars traveling though Palestinian towns, there would be no need to construct special roads for Israelis to bypass those towns.<br /><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">The outcome of Judeophobic enmity</span><br /><br />Of course, the standard Judeophobic response to this will be... “occupation,” that all-purpose, all-weather, one-size-fits-all excuse for every racist Palestinian atrocity perpetrated against the Jews.<br /><br />According to this morally base and factually baseless contention, all Palestinian violence is an expression of understandable rage and frustration due to years of repressive “occupation” of Palestinian lands.<br /><br />This claim is as egregious as it is asinine. It must be rejected with the moral opprobrium and the intellectual disdain it so richly deserves.<br /><br />Indeed, as I have demonstrated in several recent columns,<span style="color:#ff0000;"> the call for the destruction of the Jewish state was made long before Israel held a square inch of what is now designated as “occupied Palestinian land.”</span> (In fact, the original 1964 Palestinian National Covenant explicitly disavows any sovereign claim to the “West Bank” and Gaza as the Palestinian homeland.) The founding documents of the PLO, Fatah and Hamas are all committed to the destruction of the Jewish state, irrespective of time and regardless of frontiers. This too was the sentiment reiterated by Mahmoud Abbas in his recent UN appearance.<br /><br />So clearly “Occupation” is not the origin of Palestinian ill-will towards Israel. Quite the reverse. The Israeli presence in Judea, Samaria and Gaza is a direct outcome of Arab ill-will towards Israel, when in 1967 their massive military offensive to destroy Israel failed catastrophically.<br /><br />It was not Jewish territorial avarice that brought Israel to “the territories” but Arab Judeocidal aggression.<br /><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">What if there had been no ‘Occupation’?</span><br /><br />Even if it can be irrefutably shown that “occupation” is not the origin<br />of Palestinian hostility, might it is not be possible that elimination<br />of “occupation” would induce, if not Palestinian amitié, then at least<br />Palestinian acceptance of Israel? Sadly, all evidence seems to point the<br />other way. Every time Israel has made tangible efforts to remove<br />“occupation,” the frenzy of Palestinian terrorism has soared to a higher<br />crescendo, and forced abandonment or even reversal of these efforts:<br /><br />• This was the case from 1993 to ’96, when the implementation of the Oslo agreements brought forth a huge wave of suicide bombings.<br /><br />• This was the case in 2000, when Ehud Barak offered sweeping concessions to<br />the Palestinians, who responded with a wave of unprecedented terrorism<br />which continued under Ariel Sharon’s “restraint-is-strength-policy”<br />until the carnage made military response unavoidable. The result was<br />Operation Defensive Shield in 2002 that brought the IDF back in force to<br />the “West Bank,” where calm has been largely maintained ever since.<br /><br />This was the case in 2005, when Israel withdrew from Gaza and erased every<br />vestige of “occupation,” and in return received continuing and<br />escalating violence that culminated in Operation Cast Lead.<br /><br />Clearly, not only can “occupation” not be attributed as the cause of Palestinian enmity, but attempts to remove — or at least attenuate — it seem only to exacerbate this enmity.<br /><br />Here intriguing questions arise: What if Israel had never taken over the “West Bank” or had withdrawn immediately after doing so, transferring control back to Jordan? What<br />then would have become of the Palestinians and their claims to “national<br />liberation?” What “occupation” would have then been blamed for their<br />plight? What territory would have then been the focus of their efforts<br />to establish their state? These are weighty questions which must await<br />discussion at some later stage, but merely raising them poses a serious<br />challenge to the factually flawed conventional wisdom that dominates and<br />distorts the debate on the Israel-Palestinian conflict.<br /><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">‘Criticism of Israel is not anti-Semitism’</span><br /><br />“Criticism of Israel is not anti-Semitism” is the mantra sounded with Pavlovian regularity by Israel’s detractors. And they are of course right. Criticism of Israel is not necessarily anti- Semitism.<br /><br />However, the enduring practice of holding the nation-state of the Jews to<br />discriminatory double standards does makes anti-Semitism an increasingly<br />plausible explanation for that criticism, an explanation can no longer<br />be summarily dismissed without persuasive proof to the contrary.<br /><br />After all, atrocities of ferocity and scale far beyond anything of which<br />Israel is accused, even by its most vehement detractors, are perpetrated<br />regularly with hardly a murmur of censure from the international<br />community. By contrast the slightest hint of any Israeli infringement —<br />real or imagined — of human rights immediately results in expression of<br />shock and revulsion in headlines in all major media outlets across the<br />globe, precipitates emergency sessions of international organizations,<br />and produces worldwide condemnation, from friend and foe alike.<br /><br />Of course, the implication is not that Israel should be judged by the same<br />criteria as the tyrannies of Sudan or North Korea; or by the bloody<br />standards of Damascus or Tehran.<br /><br />The question is, however, why<br />should it be judged by standards and criteria which are far more<br />stringent than those applied to the democracies that make up NATO.<br /><br />For in the Balkans, in Iraq and in Afghanistan they have enforced blockades<br />and embargoes far more onerous and damaging to civilians than that<br />imposed on Gaza. They conducted military campaigns far from their<br />borders that caused far more civilian casualties than Israel has in<br />campaigns conducted only a few kilometers from the heart of its capital<br />city...<br /><br />Yet international outcry has been — at best – muted.<br /><br />So, while holding the Jewish state to standards demanded of no other nation in the exercise of its right to self-defense may have explanations<br />other than anti-Semitism (or Judeophobia to be more precise), no really<br />compelling ones come readily to mind.<br /><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">The real racism</span><br /><br />This brings us back to where we began.<br /><br />While the Jewish state faces unparalleled threats, and unconditional enmity,<br />it is continually condemned for acting to meet those threats and to<br />contend with that enmity — no matter what measures it adopts, no matter<br />how grave the peril, no matter how severe the provocation.<br /><br />This then is the real racism that permeates the discourse on the Israel-Palestinian conflict:<br /><br />• The expectation that the Jews jeopardize their security in order to maintain the viability of manifest falsehoods.<br /><br />• The perverse portrayal of every coercive <span style="color:#ff0000;">measure undertaken by the IDF<br />to protect the lives of Jews against those striving to kill them, merely<br />because they are Jews</span>, as racially motivated, disproportionate<br />violence.<br /><br />• The disingenuous depiction of the inconvenience caused to Palestinians by these measures as a more heinous evil than the Jewish deaths they are designed to prevent.<br /><br />• The attitude that shedding Jewish blood is more acceptable than the measures required to<br />prevent it, an element that appears to be becoming increasingly<br />internalized into the discourse on the Israel-Palestinian conflict.<br /><br />Israel needs to once again convey, unapologetically, to the world the<br />rationale for its founding: Jews will no longer die meekly.<br /><a href="http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/Columnists/Article.aspx?id=243452" target="BLANK">http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/Columnists/Article.aspx?id=243452</a></p>Free Israelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15467911264414815790noreply@blogger.com0
