An Arab Knesset member who visited Toronto last week claimed that there is no democracy in Israel and that Arabs are victims of Israel’s “apartheid” policy. According to a report in Shalom Toronto, MK Jamal Zahalka (Balad) made the remarks during an appearance at the “Palestine House” in Toronto in honor of the Arab Land Day, which was marked on March 30. The report said that MK Zahalka’s lecture, which was entitled “Exposing the secrets of Israeli democracy”, focused on trying to disprove what he said is the “myth” of the existence of a genuine democratic government in Israel. …

The Islamic religion has a long history of myth making. The claim they are the fastest growing religion in the world is pure myth. We have collected the latest statistics from David A. Barrett’s huge two volume, "World Christian Encyclopedia", the 2001 AD edition. In case you haven’t heard of this work, it is the world standard for religious statistics. Muslim's claim that their growth rate is 235 percent and 47 percent for Christianity. This statistic came from the Readers Digest Almanac and Yearbook 1983, and represents 235 percent increase over 50 years. Muslims always leave off the 50 year...

Arabs Faking Attacks to Earn Matriculation Diplomas (IsraelNN.com) Arab residents of Judea and Samaria are faking terror attacks, carrying knives or other weapons at IDF checkpoints in the hope of getting arrested. Doing so permits them an opportunity to spend time in an Israeli jail, where they can quietly study for a high school matriculation diploma, at no cost.

Arab lying racists (still) criticize beautiful democratic Israel? What happens when the Atlas (Arab) of Racism invents-lies libel "racism" on a remarkable democracy? Ignoring Israel's reality First, the Arab Islamic hate media Goliath is systematically ingnoring or lying openly about the fact that Israel's Arabs are not only equal, but giving opportunities & rights without demanding of them the natural obligation that exists on all Israelis to serve in it's service, moreover they're often first class citizens in courts etc. even ahead of Israeli Jews. Remarkable! Israel's free, democratic status should be held especially remarkable giving the fact of...

Arab Media: Our Faith, Their Lies Dr. Khaled Batarfi, kbatarfi@al-madina.com When the “Voice of Arabs” radio told us triumphantly in the 1960s that Nasser’s Egypt had the strongest army in the region and could throw Israel in the sea if they choose to, we believed. When young, revolutionary, the Libyan President Muammar Qaddafi promised to be the unifier of the Arab world after the death of Nasser, we believed. When Baathists and Arab nationalists carried the “One Arab nation with eternal message” slogan, we believed. Then came “Alnakbah” (the disaster) of June 5, 1967, when the one army of Israel...

Facts are stubborn things - except when you create your own. When I was asked about the "Jenin Massacre" by a Muslim student during an event at Norfolk's Old Dominion this week, it became clear we were coming from two very different perspectives: reality vs. mythology. There was no "Jenin Massacre." Period. The only "massacre" that took place at Jenin was that of the truth. Palestinians, long masters of media manipulation, went by the hundreds to foreign media - whom Israel kept outside of the armed conflict - to claim that over 500 innocents had been slaughtered. The man at...

Translation from Hebrew to English by me The Israeli Ambassador in Washington, Danny Ayalon, told leaders in the American government that Palestinians dismantled the roofs of their homes in order to show that the IDF destroyed the houses and so that they can receive compensation. Ayalon told ynet that "there was a Palestinian propaganda campaign as if hundreds and thousands of houses were destroyed. The Americans were disturbed that there was collective punishment being done, but I clarified to them that this isn't the goal of this operation."

Iranian News Agency Report: Iraqi Civilians 'Systematically Sexually Abused' by U.S. Armed Forces In an article titled "What Price 'Freedom?'" the website of the major Iranian news agency Mehr News charged the U.S. Army with "committing systematic sexual abuse against Iraqi civilians," and directed readers to a website supposedly set up by the U.S. Armed Forces, www.rape.com, that contains a section on "Rape in Iraq" featuring "gory pictures of the atrocities committed by U.S. Armed Forces against Iraqi women and children." However, this is in fact the website of the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN), the largest domestic...

Nine people have been rushed to hospital as a result of a terror suicide bombing at a shopping mall in Rosh Ha'ayin. Police spokesperson Sivan Weisman told The Jerusalem Post that one person is in critical condition, 3 are in moderate condition and five victims are reported to be lightly wounded. The terror victims have been taken to Belinson hospital in Petach Tikva, Hasharon hospital in Rosh Ha'ayin, and Tel HaShomer hospital in Ramat Gan. Today's dual attacks in Rosh Ha'ayin and in the West Bank city of Ariel may mark the end of the cease-fire or hudna. "The Palestinians...

The future is now The reaction to the American and British victory in Iraq, in Iraq itself, was as predictable as the victory, to anyone with genuine knowledge of the situation there. The gratitude to President Bush and the allies is, momentarily, intense and euphoric. It is a comet-like condition that lasts about two days, but has a tail six months long -- the time in which the hard stuff has to be attempted, of creating a constitutional order for Iraq, out of almost nothing. After that, Iraq is likely to settle back into a mood fairly unlike gratitude, as...
