Israeli response to Media bias
Even those who aren't particularly sympathetic to Israel's Benjamin
Netanyahu, could get a good measure of satisfaction from this interview with British Television during the retaliation against Hamas' shelling of Israel.
The interviewer asked him: "How come so many more Palestinians have been killed in this conflict than Israelis?" (A nasty question if there ever was one!)
Netanyahu: "Are you sure that you want to start asking in that direction?"
Interviewer: (Falling into the trap) Why not?
Netanyahu: "Because in World War II more Germans were killed than British and Americans combined, but there is no doubt in anyone's mind that the war was caused byGermany 's
aggression.
And in response to the German blitz onLondon ,
the British wiped out the entire city of Dresden ,
burning to death more German civilians than the number of people killed in Hiroshima .
Moreover, I could remind you that in 1944, when the R.A.F. tried to bomb the Gestapo Headquarters inCopenhagen ,
some of the bombs missed their target and fell on a Danish children's hospital,
killing 83 little children.
Perhaps you have another question?"
Apparently, Benjamin Netanyahu gave an interview and was asked aboutIsrael 's
occupation of Arab lands.
His response was, "It's our land". The reporter (CNN or the like) was stunned -
read below "It's our land..." It's important information since we don't get
fair and accurate reporting from the media and facts tend to get lost in the
jumble of daily events.
"Crash Course on the Arab Israeli Conflict."
Here are overlooked facts in the current & pastMiddle East
situation.
These were compiled by a Christian university professor:
BRIEF FACTS ON THE ISRAELI CONFLICT TODAY...(It takes just 1.5 minutes to read!)
It makes sense and it's not slanted. Jew and non-Jew -- it doesn't matter.
1. Nationhood andJerusalem .
Israel became a
nation in 1312 BCE, Two thousand years before the rise of Islam.
2. Arab refugees inIsrael
began identifying themselves as part of a Palestinian people in 1967, two
decades after the establishment of the modern State of Israel.
3. Since the Jewish conquest in 1272 BCE, the Jews have had dominion over the land for one thousand years with a continuous presence in the land for the past 3,300 years.
4. The only Arab dominion since the conquest in 635 CE lasted no more than 22 years.
5. For over 3,300 years,Jerusalem
has been the Jewish capital. Jerusalem
has never been the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. Even when the
Jordanians occupied Jerusalem , they
never sought to make it their capital, and Arab leaders did not come to visit.
6.Jerusalem is mentioned over 700
times in Tanach, the Jewish Holy scriptures.
Jerusalem is not mentioned once in
the Koran.
7. King David founded the city ofJerusalem .
Mohammed never came to Jerusalem .
8. Jews pray facingJerusalem .
Muslims pray with their backs toward Jerusalem .
9. Arab and Jewish Refugees: in 1948 the Arab refugees were encouraged to leaveIsrael by Arab
leaders promising to purge the land
of Jews
10 The Jewish refugees were forced to flee from Arab lands due to Arab
brutality, persecution and pogroms.
11. The number of Arab refugees who leftIsrael
in 1948 is estimated to be
around 630,000. The number of Jewish refugees from Arab lands is estimated to be the same.
12. Arab refugees were INTENTIONALLY not absorbed or integrated into the Arab lands to which they fled, despite the vast Arab territory. Out of the 100,000,000 refugees since World War II, theirs is the only refugee group in the world that has never been absorbed or integrated into their own people's lands.
Jewish refugees; that includes over a million Jewish refugees expelled from Arab countries, were completely absorbed intoIsrael ,
a country no larger than the state of New Jersey
...
13. The Arab-Israeli Conflict: the Arabs are represented by eight separate
nations, not including the Palestinians. There is only one Jewish nation. The Arab nations initiated all five wars and lost.Israel
defended itself each time and won.
14. The PLO's Charter still calls for the destruction of the State of Israel.
Israel has
given the Palestinians most of the West Bank land,
autonomy under the Palestinian Authority, and has supplied them.
15. Under Jordanian rule, Jewish holy sites were desecrated and the Jews were denied access to places of worship. Under Israeli rule, all Muslim and Christian sites have been preserved and made accessible to people of all faiths.
16. The UN Record onIsrael
and the Arabs: of the 175 Security Council
resolutions passed before 1990, 97 were directed againstIsrael .
17. Of the 690 General Assembly resolutions voted on before 1990, 429 were directed againstIsrael .
18. The UN was silent while 58 Jerusalem Synagogues were destroyed by the Jordanians.
19. The UN was silent while the Jordanians systematically desecrated the ancient Jewish cemetery on theMount of Olives .
20. The UN was silent while the Jordanians enforced an apartheid-like a policy of preventing Jews from visiting theTemple
Mount
These are incredible times. We have to ask what our role should be. What will we tell our grandchildren about what we did when there was a turning point in Jewish destiny, an opportunity to make a difference?
START NOW- Send this to 18 other people you know and ask them to send it to eighteen others, Jew and non-Jew--it doesn't really matter.

The Jewish people are not only a national and political
unit.
Since their first appearance on the stage of history they have been the personification of a moral will and the bearers of a historic vision which they inherited from the prophets ofIsrael .
It is impossible to understand the history of the Jewish people and their
struggle for existence—both when they were a nation rooted in their own soil
and more or less controlling their own destiny, and when they were a wandering
people, exiled and dispersed—unless we bear in mind the unique idea which their
history embodies, and the stubborn opposition, not only physical, political,
and military, but also spiritual, moral, and intellectual, which the Jews have
always confronted.
Since their first appearance on the stage of history they have been the personification of a moral will and the bearers of a historic vision which they inherited from the prophets of
The Jewish and Arab Refugee resolution Since the late 1940's
the Arab States have expelled over a million Jewish people. They confiscated
their assets, businesses, homes and Real Estate which is 120,000 Sq, Km. (about
5-6 times the size of Israel )
and is valued in the trillions of dollars. The State of Israel has resettled
the majority of the million Jews expelled from the Arab countries in Greater
Israel. The Arabs claim that about 600,000 Arabs were displaced from their
homes during the 1948 war. Most of the Arab population abandoned their homes at
the request of the 5 Arab Armies who were sure to defeat the newly
reconstituted Jewish State. About 300,000 Arabs out of the 600,000 stayed. Now
the Arab and Jewish population has increased dramatically. Many new Arabs have
moved into the area, and many new Jews from the Holocaust and other areas have
emigrated to Israel .
It is about time that the Arab countries that expelled over a million Jews
should resettle the Arab refugees in their vast lands. Utilize the funding
which is given to the Arab refugees (instead of using it for weapons and war)
to relocate, build housing, schools, commerce and industry and resolve this
tragedy once and for all. This will bring peace and tranquility to the
region.

To posit we are fighting a "war" against Islamic
terrorism is nonsense. r1
The purpose of war is to take the heart out of the enemy by striking his strategic assets, his leaders, high-tech control networks, and any major weapons systems. Wiping out his cities and populations has long been a strategy that takes the fight out of enemies, endangers leaders and keeps them looking back over their shoulders. Our blood and treasure has been directed against their ignorant foot-soldiers and relatively small arms caches. The question which demands an answer is, why do we spend $millions to wipe out penny ante soldier-leaders and their cheap weapons?

The world absolves Arab-Palestinians from adult responsible
behavior
The fatal flaws in that browned-off appeal lie where? Look for the duty of one party to give and the right of the other party to receive. Defrocked, that’s human rights. What is it but a worldview on Arab-Palestinian wants and the duty ofIsrael to
supply them. One is owed, the other owes. There’s no notion of the alms-seeker
having to do anything but table maximum demands, then sit back while supporters
extort the alms-giver to meet him more than half way. The world absolves
Arab-Palestinians from responsible adult behavior.
Israel
capitulates to Arabs after defeating them. A first in history.
The idea of a perennial spoiled kid makes the quip of Israeli politicians a bitter sweet.
“I think it would be the first war in history that on the morality of humanity, where the victors sued for peace and the vanquished called for unconditional surrender.”
The vanquished want everything, and they want it on their own terms, unconditionally. Possession may be 9/10th of the law, andIsrael
may have it, but emulators of Moses put Arab-Palestinians above the law. They
endow rights upon them which other people can only dream of. Morally, diplomatically
or politically – the rights of Israelis can not hold a candle to the rights of
fictitious Arab-Palestinians in ‘bondage.’ While they ignore that the Arab
countries have expelled over a million Jewish people from their countries, who
have lived there for over 1,800 years, the Arabs confiscated their assets,
businesses, homes and Real Estate 5-6 times the size of Israel ,
values in the trillions of dollars. Many of those Jews expelled died due to
hardship.
That was fatal floor one. Fatal flaw two is to forget that a right to self-determination involves another and equal right: ownership. By all means let a people make unto themselves a nation, but where shall they do that? On what, or on whose land? No land west of theJordan River
belongs to the Arab-Palestinians (According to the San Remo Treaty of 1920 the
east bank of the Jordan river was allocated to the
Jewish people. The British violated the Treaty and gave over three quarters of
the land allocated to the Jewish people to the Arabs. Israel liberated its
ancestral land the Judea and Samaria AKA West Bank from Jordan, and
Arab-Palestinians never entered the equation before that happened, or since for
that matter. Nor can Jordan
demand the land back, considering that it was not the lawful owner at the time Israel
snapped it up and liberated it. No one ever built a case for Jordan
as rightful and lawful owner of the West Bank (Judea
and Samaria ). Although, in the mid
1920′s the British in violation of The San Remo Treaty of 1920 had assigned 80%
of the land originally allocated to the Jewish people as their historic
homeland to the Arabs. That established Jordan
as the Arab State
On the other hand,Israel
that existed in the land of the Mandate for Palestine
for over 4,000 years, everyone puts their two sense and criticizes its
boundaries and sovereignty.
Any Arab Palestinian who is unhappy or dissatisfied living under Israel’s laws, can move to Jordan or to one of the million homes of the Jews in the Arab countries that were taken over by force while ejecting the Jewish people and confiscating their property and their assets.
The Arabs under Israeli law have more freedoms and Democracy than in any Arab – Muslim country.
I state, do not bite the hand that feeds you, the alternative may be that it will bite back and than you will not like it.
Israel has an
obligation to protect its citizens with no holds barred.
How can you even contemplate peace and co-existence with the Arab-Palestinians who teach their children from infancy to hate, terrorize, destroy and create havoc inIsrael
and elsewhere.
