Israel,that tiny strip of land... How does it Survive?
Apparently, Benjamin Netanyahu gave an interview and was asked about Israel 's occupation of Arab lands. His
response was, "It's our land." The reporter was stunned. It's important information since we don't get fair and
accurate reporting from the media and facts tend to get lost...
Netanyahu at his best
Even those who aren't particularly sympathetic to Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu, could get a good
measure of satisfaction from this interview. British Television sought to make a point during the retaliation against
Hamas' shelling of Israel, but it did not go as planned.
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: "Why not?" (Falling into the his own trap...)
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 by Germany 's aggression.
And in response to the German blitz on London, 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 RAF tried to bomb the Gestapo Headquarters in Copenhagen ,
some of the bombs missed their target and fell on a Danish Children's Hospital, killing 83 little children. Perhaps you
have another question?"
BRIEF FACTS ON THE ISRAELI CONFLICT TODAY: (This ought to make sense to Jew and non-Jew
because it's not opinion, it's history.)
1. Nationhood and Jerusalem: Israel became a nation in 1312 BC, two thousand (2000) years before the rise of
Islam.
2. Arab refugees in Israel 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 BC, the Jews have had dominion over the land for one thousand
(1000) years with a continuous presence in the land for the past 3,300 years.
4. Since the conquest in 635, the only Arab dominion 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
even once in the Koran.
7. King David founded the city of Jerusalem. Mohammed never came to Jerusalem.
8. Jews pray facing Jerusalem. Muslims pray with their backs toward Jerusalem.
9. Arab and Jewish Refugees: in 1948 the Arab refugees were encouraged to leave Israel by Arab leaders
promising to purge the land of Jews. Sixty-eight percent left (many in fear of retaliation by their own brethren, the
Arabs), without ever seeing an Israeli soldier. The ones who stayed were afforded the same peace, civility, and
citizenship rights as
everyone else.
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 left Israel 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 were completely absorbed into Israel , 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 on Israel and the Arabs: of the 175 Security Council resolutions passed before 1990, 97
were directed against Israel.
17. Of the 690 General Assembly resolutions voted on before 1990, 429 were directed against Israel.
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 the
Mount of Olives.
20. The UN was silent while the Jordanians enforced an apartheid-like a policy of preventing Jews from
visiting the Temple Mount and the Western Wall.
