Centuries of persecution before Israeli "occupation."
In the voluminous commentaries on the Middle East today very little attention has been given to the sad fate of Christians in the Arab and Muslim countries. Even less attention has been paid to the contrast between the treatment of Christians in Israel and their treatment in Arab countries.

"Every ten years, a vital aim is achieved. These are the Protocols of the Elders of Zion,
of a century, from 1897 till 1997. They have planned and accomplished. Every ten
years, another aim was achieved, proving their continuity and their power.”7
Everything cited until this point is from Fatah political leaders on PA Fatah-controlled TV and
newspapers. The Hamas movement agrees with this ideology and even formalizes it by
incorporating the Protocols into its ideology and citing it in the official Hamas charter:

Are the Jewish Elders of Zion conspiring to subjugate the entire world under a Jewish world

It sounds too ridiculous to consider, let alone necessitate a denial. But if you
were a 10th-grade student in the Palestinian Authority (PA), that is precisely what you would
have been learning in your new history book. The schoolbook, published in 2004, by the
Palestinian Ministry of Education, teaches that among the foundations of Zionism, agreed
upon at the First Zionist Congress in 1897, “there is a group of confidential resolutions

Why Did the Arabs Suffer “Nakba” (Disaster) in 1948 and Every Day Since? The Surprising View of the Man Who Coined That Term
February 5, 2012
It’s ironic how the West has adopted the narrative of the very people who caused so much disaster in the Middle East. There are two reasons: The ignorance of the Western “experts” and the domination of the radical interpretations that made the mess in the first place.

Norman Finkelstein, an American – Jew has devoted his career to prove that Israel is engaged in the genocide of the Palestinian people. He defined Israel as a "Genghis Khan With A Computer and said: "Sometimes I feel that Israel has come out of the boils of hell, a satanic state.".

Antony D. Cooper, A Canadian – Jew and a known novelist decided to search for the truth. He published 4 articles on Haffington Post during December 2011,in which he proved that Norman Finkelstein is an obsessed lier.

The late Israeli scholar and diplomat, Abba Eban, (1915-2002) said, “History teaches us that men and nations behave wisely once they have exhausted all other alternatives.”

Similarly, Winston Churchill said, “You can always count on Americans to do the right thing—after they have tried everything else.” In Churchill’s case, he was referring to the U.S. reluctance to become involved in another war in Europe, but the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 changed that overnight. By 1945, along with our allies, the wars in Europe and Asia were over.

3rd Anniversary: Goldstone Report Hits Dead-Ends, But Far From Dead
Jan 13 2012
Yesterday marked the third anniversary of the notorious UN Human Rights Council session that created the Goldstone Report, a 500-page document that excoriated Israel—for defending itself from deadly rockets—while exonerating Hamas.

The core charges of the report—that Israel's leadership intentionally plotted to murder Palestinian civilians, and did so from racist motives—were famously retracted by Judge Goldstone in op-eds published last year in the Washington Post and the New York Times.

Israeli archaeologists find 1,500-year-old kosher 'bread stamp' near Acre
The tiny stamp was used to identify baked products; experts think it belonged to a bakery that supplied kosher bread to the Jews of Acre in the Byzantine period.

A 1,500-year-old seal with the image of the seven-branched Temple Menorah has been discovered near the city of Acre.

The real 'Naqba' is the story of the Arab apartheid. Tens of millions, including Jews, suffered from 'Naqba', which included theft, expulsion and becoming a refugee. Only the Palestinians remain refugees because they were victims of persecution and repression at the hands of Arab states. This is the story of the real 'Naqba'.

The former speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives and current Republican presidential candidate said yesterday that "there was no Palestine as a state. It was part of the Ottoman Empire. We have invented the Palestinian people, who are in fact Arabs and are historically part of the Arab people, and they had the chance to go many places."

Newt Gingrich’s leaked comments which describe Palestinian identity as ‘invented’ have a profound importance in the Middle East conflict and these remarks have to be challenged.

One of the reasons that the Gingrich view has to be confronted is that when Jewish peoplehood is questioned by the Palestinians and their cheerleaders on the Left, Muslims and Arabs remain silent in tacit agreement. The Palestinians’ outrage at Gingrich’s remarks are, therefore, hypocritical.

The Mail Online reports Gingrich’s words here.

The suffering of Jewish refugees from Arab countries must be acknowledged, compensated for their losses.
While serving as a Canadian delegate to the annual inter-parliamentary hearing at the United Nations, I came across an exhibit marking the annual International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. The central theme of the exhibit is the Nakba – catastrophe – suffered by the Palestinian people, due to the establishment of the State of Israel.

Thus far the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan has weathered the storm that has swept across the Middle East since the beginning of the year. But the relative calm in Amman is an illusion. The unspoken truth is that the Palestinians, the country's largest ethnic group, have developed a profound hatred of the regime and view the Hashemites as occupiers of eastern Palestine—intruders rather than legitimate rulers.

Israel's UN envoy raises Jewish refugee issue at UN 'Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People'
02 December 2011
At an event at the United Nations on the 64th anniversary of the vote to partition Mandatory Palestine into a Jewish and an Arab state, (International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People), Israel’s Ambassador Ron Prosor told the UN General Assembly that it exacerbated rather than resolved the Middle East conflict with such commemorations.

For over half a century, seminal issues in the Arab-Israeli conflict have defied resolution. Negotiations
over security, Jerusalem, refugees, borders, settlements, and so on engender passionate, entrenched
demands and expectations.

There are few international arenas that provide a balanced platform for the discussion of these
contentious issues and in particular, the issue of refugees. This especially applies to the United
Nations and its affiliated entities, where the predominant focus has been on Palestinian refugees.

In the long-standing debate regarding the Palestinian political strategy and the prospects of reaching a peaceful settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, some argue that the Palestinian Authority (PA) will ultimately relinquish its demand for the “right of return” of five million Palestinian refugees and their descendents to the sovereign territory of the State of Israel.

Jewish Rights to Palestine Are Guaranteed by International Law
October 24, 2011
Eli E. Hertz
Successive Israeli governments have failed to recognize the supreme importance of the "Mandate for Palestine" [24 July, 1922] a historical League of Nations document that set forth the irrevocable Jewish legal rights to settle anywhere in western Palestine, the area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, an entitlement unaltered by international law and valid to this day.

Ever since the Yom Kippur War in 1973 in which Egypt and Syria chose the holiest day in the Jewish calendar to attack Israel, I have always felt a frisson of concern as the day approached. For Jews it begins the evening of Friday, October 7, and continues through Saturday for a full day of prayer that ends with the ancient, inspiring expression of hope, “Next year in Jerusalem.”

Finding and connecting similar patterns of behavior throughout Islamic history is one of the most objective ways of determining whether something is or is not part of Muslim civilization.

Consider the issue of forced conversion in Islam, a phenomenon that has a long history with ample precedents. Indeed, from its inception, most of those who embraced Islam did so under duress, beginning with the Ridda wars and during the age of conquests, and to escape dhimmi status. This is a simple fact.

More than sixty years after the admission to the United Nations of the state of Israel with no
internationally recognized boundaries,2 a central question remains: what legal rights to territory
does Israel have and, assuming such rights exist, how far do they reach, that is, what are Israel’s
rightful borders? These questions in turn are connected to others: how might Israel’s legal rights
inform an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement and perhaps even a general Arab-Israeli peace

JEWISH STATE” - FROM THE
BALFOUR DECLARATION TO THE
PALESTINE MANDATE
On 22 July 1922, when the League of Nations announced the terms of Britain’s Mandate for
Palestine, it gave prominence to the Balfour Declaration. ‘The Mandatory should be responsible,’
the preamble stated, ‘for putting into effect the declaration originally made on November 2nd,
1917, by the Government of His Britannic Majesty…in favor of the establishment in Palestine
of a national home for the Jewish people…’1 The preamble of the Mandate included the precise

Are Jews a nation? Do they have and should they have national rights, in particular the right to state-

How should we approach these questions now, at the beginning of the twenty-first century?

These are questions that have many dimensions – theoretical, historical, moral, political, and legal.
They have been debated heatedly at least from the beginning of the Zionist movement, both among

Last week, Palestinian Chairman Mahmoud Abbas announced that the Palestinian Authority would not make a bid for statehood at the United Nations. That may have had something to do with massive pressure from the United States, Europe, and Saudi Arabia.

The FACTS on the Israeli occupation:

A.Most Palestinians Live Under Palestinian Governments

All Palestinians in Gaza live under a Hamas government and most Palestinians on the Western Bank live under the Palestinian Authority government – not under Israeli occupation.

The Oslo Agreement in 1993 between Israel and the PLO changed the situation in Gaza and the Western Bank.

The Palestinian Authority has full civil control of the Palestinian towns, the rural area between the towns and about 26% of the rest of the rural area.

I was eleven years old when Israel declared its independence and sovereignty in 1948 with the blessing of the United Nations. World War Two and the Holocaust were over barely three years and many of Europe’s Jews needed a state of their own to rebuild their lives. Jews from throughout the Middle East were forced to flee nations in which they had lived for centuries. Over time Israel would absorb Russian Jews and others from around the world.

Menachem Z. Rosensaft: Israel has always been a Jewish state

While the Obama administration is trying to ward off the Palestinians’ ill-conceived bid for unilateral recognition as an Arab state at the UN General Assembly, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is proving to be as obstructionist and hypocritical as his late predecessor, Yasser Arafat. “Don’t order us to recognize a Jewish state,” Abbas declared last week. “We won’t accept it.”

Today, most of the divestment campaign against Israel is driven by Christian groups such as the Dutch Interchurch Organization and the Irish Catholic group Troicaré, both funded by the EU. The United Church of Canada, a very popular and mainstream Christian denomination, just voted to boycott six companies (Caterpillar, Motorola, Ahava, Veolia, Elbit Systems and Chapters/Indigo) and South African bishop Desmond Tutu convinced the University of Johannesburg to severe all its links with Israeli fellows.
