Why Israel Is The Victim And The Arabs Are The Indefensible Aggressors In the Middle East

One, the PLO

When was the PLO founded? Wasn't it 66 or so?

[SJackson]

Claims predicated on 3,000 year old Biblical texts may mean nothing to modern atheists, but contracted-and-binding Twentieth Century International Law ought to mean something. The Arab Nationalists, in 1919-1923, already swore agreement to the arrangement which today only the most right-wing Jews demand: Eretz Y'Israel, Greater Israel, Israel from the Jordan to the Med. Frankly, Israel should hold them to the deal.

1964

Yep. The Jews have 3,700 years of continuous existence in the region. Where this Palestinian claim comes from beats the heck out of me.

I have added this to the collections of links I keep handy for educating/debunking the uninformed and malicious who drop by from time to time.

Good! Now I know who to come to when I need some of this info.

64, if I remember. What's more, almost ALL acceptance gained by the PLO and its offshoots in the west is a direct result of heavy and unrelenting campaigning by marxist organizations. When the PLO started getting "foreign offices" around the world, who were the lobbyists, watercarriers and door-openers? Marxist pols, that's who. In many cases people who has now become entrenched mainstreamers.

Thanks for the very enlightening post! We never see this type of information in the main stream press or on TV. Thanks again for a most informative post.

Best I can figger it arose as smoke from the smouldering wreckage of a gaggle of terorist-assaulted aeroplanes in Jordan's desert and as the the stench of the decaying corpses of the first of the blaspheming murdering terrorist bastard Arafat's thousands of corpses.

And should be bulldozed into the same heap and itself allowed to perish with the rest of history's lies!

[Shalom! Shalom!]

It may not be our fight, but, without the United States, Israel would be in huge trouble. That's why I support Israel. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. --Psalms 122:1

I support Israel, and pray for the peace of Jerusalem, also.

But that support does not extend to stealing my fellow-citizen's money to fund a cause he may or may not support.

"To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical." -- Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, Thomas Jefferson

Robbing your neighbor, even to fund the most "charitable" of causes, is deliberate God-hating blasphemy. Israel might be entitled to your support, but she is not entitled to your willful violation of God's Eighth Commandment on her "behalf".

You DO NOT bless Israel by making her the recipient of extorted blood-money. Instead, you make her your accomplice in Theft, which is cursing her.

And all that said, I vigorously dispute this idea that extorted foreign-aid monies do Israel any good in the first place. In the first place, they do prop up her Socialist government's control of the economy; without these handouts, Israel would have to become far more capitalistic economically (which, given five years to adjust, would be a very great blessing to her); and in the second, dependence on US foreign aid means that Israeli politicians must come hat-in-hand to big Uncle Sugar Daddy, who then tells them that they must grovel to, and kiss the posteriors of, the likes of terrorists and dictators. Some "support" you're giving Israel, huh.

If not for the slow poison of US financial "support", Israel would've had the national gumption to tell Yassir Arafat to Go Hang - literally - a long time ago.

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.

Of course, now Jews are suspect of "dual loyalty," to Israel instead of "the Elders of Zion."

[American in Israel]

Very interesting point. The 2,000,000 dead Sudanese Christians were sitting on oil.

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...

Hmmm...this sounds like something I read everyday by certain people on FR.

Damned good article.

[College Repub]

It's *STILL* an issue even with Israel. These same people claim Mossad runs the world...

[beowolf]

The Mossad may run the world...but they'll never make you convert!-)

David Horowitz rarely writes about Israel. I guess he felt obligated to write a very good piece on this MidEast mess, a summation, a history and an accurate analysis. Someone who knows nothing would find this a good introduction.
