WHAT DO THE PALESTINIANS TEACH IN SCHOOLS

WHAT DO THE PALESTINIANS TEACH IN SCHOOLS, MEDIA, AND MOSQUES

THE JEWS - GUILTY FOR ANY TRUMPED UP CHARGE

My experience:

When I was a child a hungry young cousin of mine had picked up a piece of bread off the ground outside of the house. The kid was caught by my grand mother just before she intended to eat it, she was reprimanded "Don't you know the Jews are putting bread in front of Arab houses which are tainted with poison?". I never knew that grandma's suspicions would turn to a national accusation. Even while going to school we are sometimes warned that the Jews would put chemicals in the school water to cause sterility. (The Author).

Today's reality is much worse then my grand mother's fairy tale, Israel is even put on trial for countless false accusations as an amusement for a world's mock trial. The bizarre array of surprise accusations by top Palestinian officials, statesmen, doctors, lawyers, journalists, religious clergy, laboratories, schools, researchers, advertisements, news media, and including Arafat himself along with the first lady Suha Taweel. These volumes of accusations includes; arson attempts on the Temple Mount area, destruction, and the digging of tunnels, the creation of artificial earthquakes. Terrorist attacks on Jewish civilians including the spread of arms on the new Palestinian state are blamed on Israel. Libelous accusations of spreading spoiled corn oil in the West Bank, along with English Cadbury chocolate tainted with the 'Mad Cow' disease, use of a chemical agent in attempted assassinations Palestinians, selling sexually-stimulating gums to Palestinians, spreading cancer agents, even to the point of injecting Palestinian infants with the HIV virus causing Aids.

Regarding weapons in the hands of Arab terrorists, Arafat said, "These weapons could be obtained only from high authorities with great influence on the Israeli side." (Jerusalem Post, March 22, 1996)

"An unholy conspiracy of Israeli 'fanatics', who are members of a shadowy group of ex-IDF people called 'OAS', and Moslem extremists were behind [the Feb.1996] suicide bombings, Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat told foreign diplomats...Arafat is known to have said last year, before [Ehud] Barak became [Israel's] foreign minister, that 'Barak is one of the big bosses of the OAS'..." (Jerusalem Post, Feb.27, 1996)

Referring to the Arab terrorist attack in Beit Lid, in which 22 Israelis were killed, and other attacks in 1995, Arafat said, "I have evidences that these terrorist activities have been done through coordination between these fanatic Islamic groups and some elements on the Israeli side." (Washington Post, May 2, 1995)

"PLO chairman Yasser Arafat, in interviews published yesterday, accused IDF troops of aiding the spread of arms in the territories in a plot to create chaos in Palestinian self-rule areas...'This weapons trade is being carried out under the auspices of some Israeli officers in the West Bank and Gaza. This is part of a wicked plan'..." (Jerusalem Post, Feb. 18 & Feb. 19, 1994)

"Israel has been using chemical weapons against Palestinians in the territories for 27 months with the support of the U.S. It's not tear gas, it's chemical weapons." (Yasir Arafat, Jerusalem Post, April 1, 1990)

LIBELOUS ACCUSATIONS

"Maher al-Dasuki, head of the Palestinian Consumer Protection Council, said that spoiled corn oil is being distributed in the West Bank. According to al-Dasuki, the oil is marketed after having been smuggled in from Israel, where the plastic bottle is refilled a second time inside the settlements and then distributed with the help of collaborators...Al-Dasuki emphasized that residents must be on guard regarding chocolate produced in England, and especially that of Cadbury, which is widely available on Palestinian markets, since they make use of milk tainted with the 'Mad Cow' disease. Al-Dasuki said that the sale of such chocolate is forbidden in Britain, but Israeli merchants have smuggled it into the Palestinian areas and they entice people to buy it via the teacups distributed for free along with the purchase of each pack."

--- from an article in the official PA newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda, December 8, 1997

"Abd Al-Fatah Hamid, the Head of the Control and Inspection Department in the PA Ministry of Supplies, said that a committee will work ...against spoiled goods and food supplies, which are one of Israel's means in its war against Palestinian society. Hamid said that the source of most of the spoiled food was the settlements, and pointed to the fact that the Ministry puts much effort in tracking the settlements and those smuggling spoiled food." (Palestinian paper, Al-Ayyam, October 29, 1997.)

"In order to establish the Temple in place of the Al-Aqsa mosque, Israel employed different methods starting with arson attempts, destruction, and the digging of tunnels... and ending with the creation of artificial earthquakes that can be triggered from afar which will undermine its foundations and will destroy it-and then Israel will not permit its renovation... but will use the opportunity to complete its destruction and to establish the [Jewish] Temple in its place..." (Article, "Al-Aqsa Surrounded by Conspiracies" in the official PA newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda, October 26, 1997.)

"The failed attempt to assassinate Khaled Mish'al in Aman raises many questions... In light of the use of a chemical agent in the attempted assassination and in light of repeated reports in the Israeli press itself about medical experiments conducted on Palestinian prisoners, the human rights organizations are being called upon today... to re-examine the cases of unexplained deaths in Israeli jails and the cases of prisoners who died of unknown diseases." (Article, the Palestinian daily Al-Quds, October 15, 1997.

"There is an Israeli mafia which is distributing spoiled food products under the aegis of Israeli generals in the territories of the Palestinian Authority... they are distributors of death." (PA Deputy Minister of Supplies Abdel Hamid al-Qudsi in a speech before businessmen at the Chamber of Commerce in Tulkarem (Itim news agency, July 9, 1997).

"Israel is distributing food containing material that causes cancer and hormones that harm male virility and other spoiled food products in the Palestinian Authority's territories in order to poison and harm the Palestinian population. We absolutely feel that it is an organized plan and conspiracy which is under the auspices of the Israel Defense Forces... this is a planned and initiated war against the Palestinian people." (PA Deputy Minister of Supplies Abdel Hamid al-Qudsi in a newspaper interview, Yediot Aharonot, June 25, 1997.)

"Laboratory tests made on seven brands of Israeli gum smuggled into the West Bank and Gaza showed they contain a sexually-stimulating adrenaline substance." (Saleh Abdulal, Director of the Inspection Department of the PA Ministry of Supplies, quoted by the official PA newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda, May 26, 1997.)

"They brought Russian Jewish girls with AIDS to spread the disease among Palestinian youth." (Abdel-Razek Al-Majeeda, Commander of the Palestinian General Security Service in Gaza, quoted by the official PA newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda, May 15, 1997.)

"Since the very beginning of the Arab-Israeli conflict, Israeli governments were anxious to apply the most dangerous ethnic cleansing theory against the Palestinian people. According to their racist ideology, the Israeli policy makers were dedicated to capturing a land without a people for a people without a land." (PA Information Ministry press release, March 29, 1997.)

"Israeli authorities... infected by injection 300 Palestinian children with the HIV virus during the years of the intifada." (Palestinian representative Nabil Ramlawi at a session of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights in Geneva (Jerusalem Post, March 17, 1997).

THE JEWS ARE ILLEGITIMATE

"The archeology of Jerusalem is diverse - excavations in the Old City and the areas surrounding it revealed Umayyad Islamic palaces, Roman ruins, Armenian ruins and others, but nothing Jewish. Outside of what is mentioned written in the Old and New Testaments, there is no tangible evidence of any Jewish traces remains in the old city of Jerusalem and its immediate vicinity."

--- PA Information Ministry Press Release, December 10, 1997.

"Why do the Jews from all over the world gather together to establish their false state on the Land of Palestine when the true owners of the land are prevented from establishing their state on it?"

--- from an article in the official PA newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda, December 9, 1997.

"There is no people or land named Israel. Israel is our patriarch Yaaqoub, peace be upon him, and the children of Israel are the sons of Yaaqoub... We are the children of Israel.... These people are the children of the Zionist entity, they are the children of the colonialist entity, they are nothing more than thieves. They came and took land which does not belong to them. Therefore, the normalization of relations with them is impossible.... even if Palestine remains occupied for hundreds of years... These Zionists are not fit to establish a nation or to have their own language or even their own religion. They are nothing more than a hodgepodge." (Iinterview with Islamic author Safi Naz Kassam published in the official PA newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda, September 1, 1997. )

"The words 'State of Israel' should be replaced with 'Zionist entity' in the Palestinian lexicon." (Suleiman Roumi, member of the PA Legislative Council (Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda, August 10, 1997).

"High-ranking officials in Israel's Religious Affairs Ministry and Antiquities Office recently stole a stone from the Umayyad Palaces located in the vicinity of Al-Haram Al-Kudsi [The Al-Aksa and Dome of the Rock Mosques in Jerusalem]...This stone was sent to Germany for special laboratory tests...in order to prove the claim that the stone belonged to their alleged temple... Hamad Yusef, head of The Institution for the Rejuvenation of the Palestinian Heritage, said that the aim in analyzing the stone was to prove the false historical claim of the Jews in the holy city, a claim which they were unable to prove in all of the excavations conducted by foreign groups for the past hundred years, as well as in the Israeli excavations being carried out under the foundations of Al-Haram Al-Kudsi for the past thirty years. Hamad accused the Israelis of unprecedented historical forgeries, emphasizing the Palestinian, the Arab and the Islamic nature of the holy city for the past 6000 years. Israel fails in her attempt to find a historical connection to Jerusalem." (Article in the Palestinian daily Al-Ayyam, July 18, 1997)

THE JEWS ARE THE DEVIL

"It is important to conduct the conflict according to the foundations which both are leaning on...particularly the Jews...such as the Torah, the Talmud and the Protocols [of the elders of Zion]... All signs unequivocally prove that the conflict between the Jews and the Muslims is an eternal and on-going conflict, even if it stops for short intervals... This conflict resembles the conflict between man and Satan... This is the fate of the Muslim nation, and beyond that the fate of all of the nations of the world, to be tormented by this nation [the Jews]. The fate of the Palestinian people is to struggle against the Jews on behalf of the Arab peoples, the Islamic peoples and the peoples of the entire world."(Palestinian Researcher Ahmed al-Awadeh, published in the official PA newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda, September 1, 1997. )

▲

THE JEWS ARE RACIST

"There are many indications that the American initiative, in case it is proposed, will reflect a strong bias toward the Zionist-racist solution to the Palestine problem... It will adopt the idea of giving the name 'Palestinian State' to lands crowded with Palestinian population and construction in the West Bank and Gaza... Hard conditions will be forced on this state which will be demilitarized and limited [in authority] enabling the Zionist entity to control its affairs in such a way that will make this state to look like a series of "enclaves" within the Zionist-racist entity called 'Israel.'"

--- from an interview with Palestinian National Council member Ahmad Sidqi al-Dajani which appeared in the official PA newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda on October 20, 1997.

"Zionist thought gave birth to political Zionism ... this blind military power and extreme racism. For one hundred years the Zionist movement has been spreading the poison of Zionist ideology... What is happening these days, expresses this ideology which their children suckle with their mother's milk...When the UN General Assembly defined Zionism as a form of racism, it expressed this as a fact, a fact which is backed up by Israeli operations which the human conscience cannot bear. Zionism remains ... another face of racism, despite all the pressure the US has put in order to change the UN decision or to cancel it... Accordingly, we are facing a Zionist ideology which belongs to a dynasty of dinosaurs. And if human history has swallowed all the dynasties of dinosauran ideologies from Hulagu [the Mongolian conqueror] to Hitler, in addition to the racist ideology in South Africa, the survival of Zionist ideology on this piece of our planet, is a deviant phenomenon and a historical lie..."

--- PA Under-Secretary for Culture Yihya Yakhlaf, Al-Ayyam, August 7, 1997.

"The Israeli colonialist occupation of Palestine is turning into aggression against all Islam and Christian holy sites. Zionist racism reaches its peak with this Talmudic offensive, which tears the pages of the Koran, and which offends the Master of Prophets, Muhammad, Allah's blessing be with him, and the Blessed Virgin, mother of Christ, may they rest in peace."

--- Hasan Al-Kashef, Director-General of the PA Information Ministry, quoted in the official PA newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda, July 7, 1997.

Please compare these awakening few recent quotations by their leader Mr. Yasser Arafat the winner of a Noble Peace Prize, and leading corrupt figures in the Palestinian Authority to Nazi and Russian Pogroms statements against the Jews:

▲

THE JEWS SPREAD DISEASE

Muhammad Dahlan, head of Arafat's Preventive Security Service in Gaza, in an interview with the Hamas newspaper Al-Risallah (cited in Ha'aretz, 15 June 1997) Slander against Israel: "Israel is distributing food containing cancer-causing material and hormones that harm male virility and other spoiled food products in the Palestinian Authority's territories, in order to poison and harm the Palestinian population. We absolutely feel it is an organized plot and conspiracy under the auspices of the Israel Defense Forces -- this is a planned and initiated war against the Palestinian people.".

"Israeli authorities... infected by injection 300 Palestinian children with the HIV virus during the years of the Intifada." --- Palestinian U.N. representative Nabil Ramlawi at a session of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights in Geneva (Jerusalem Post, 17 March 1997).

These kind of accusations have been going on for centuries in order to condemn the Jews. The inquisitions, Russian Pogroms, Nazis, and Arab propaganda have always used sinister schemes in order to promote hate to the Jew. These schemes are and has always been expressed in the political, educational, and religious enteties in Palestine.

▲

THE JEWS SPILL BLOOD

"Jews Spread Death and Spill Blood": In an October 31, 1997 article in Al-Hayat Al-Jadeedah, Fuad Abu Hijla condemned "those who spread death and murder and spill blood, and who are said to be our cousins and, like us, 'the children of Abraham,' despite the fact that Abraham did not immigrate to Poland, did not visit New York and New Jersey, and did not live in Russia."

▲

THE JEWS ARE LEACHES

"...A doctor currently dealing with the national dialogue says: "...in my experience Israeli blood is AB minus - which takes from everyone and doesn't give to anyone except those of his own [blood] type - while Palestinian blood is O minus - which gives to everyone and takes only from his own type..." Generosity is an Arab custom and stinginess is a Jewish custom. Therefore, it is only natural that we give and they take. We are killed and they incarcerate! We build and they destroy! We agree and they refuse! We make commitments and they close us off!"

--- from an article in the official PA newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda, August 5, 1997.

"We believe that the Israelis are not adventuresome because the Jewish brain is cowardly and does not tend toward adventure, but rather exchanges it for plotting... These things have to be said as a description of the situation, and as a description of the baseness of this reactionary and cruel American Jewish world."

--- from an article in the official PA newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda, July 27, 1997.

▲

THE JEWS ARE SHYLOCKS

"Whoever comes in contact with the banks discovers that they act in Shylock's way.... We do not want Shylock-style banks that empty our pockets, but national banks; we have had enough of the Shylock of the lands and settlements."

(Article "The Banks and Shylock" in the official PA newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda by the paper's editor Hafez al-Barghouti, November 5, 1997.)

--- from an article in the official PA newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda, August 16, 1997.

"We are fighting and struggling with an enemy who is Shylock. We must know that he is Shylock."

--- Othman Abu Gharbiya, PA Chairman Yasser Arafat's Adviser on National Political Guidance, in an interview with the official PA radio station the Voice of Palestine, March 15, 1997.

▲

THE JEWS ARE BLOOD SUCKERS

"The portrait of the usurious Jew painted by Shakespeare in his well-known masterpiece, "The Merchant of Venice" did not ignite a Jewish attack accusing him of anti-Semitism, since it fit the general view held by Europeans at that time, when the European continent...vomited the Jews to the periphery... The Israelis wish to contain Christian pilgrims in the year 2000...put them next to the settlers who have their sights set on large financial compensation and immediate profit out of land ownership which has been confiscated by a mayor backed by fanatical religious and nationalistic trends and by a millionaire usurer who comes from across the ocean...At this moment the portrait of the Shakespearean hero reappears...and all signs point to the fact that this merchant of Venice will become a new Dracula."

(The Legend of Jewish Superiority?!" in the Palestinian daily Al-Quds, November 11, 1997.)

"...It is impossible to rely on international or Arab national circles as long as Netanyahu's claws of hatred dive into our Palestinian blood in search of oxygen-rich blood cells...our movement found in Netanyahu something it could not ignore which is the dismemberment of the agreement by the fangs of hatred and the chewing of the peace by the teeth of the Talmud... We must recognize that this stubborn enemy, locks itself in the Talmud's cocoon..."

--- excerpts from a position paper issued by Yasser Arafat's Fatah faction of the PLO and published in the official PA newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda, October 18, 1997.

"The [Palestinian] Authority cannot do a thing, except protect its people and itself from an enemy which bares its Jewish fangs from the four corners of the earth...

--- from an article in the official PA newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda, August 6, 1997.

THE FACES OF PEACE

The Palestinian National Council:

On the basis of the Palestinian National Charter and the Political

Programme drawn up at the eleventh session, held from January 6-12,

1973; and from its belief that it is impossible for a permanent and just

peace to be established in the area unless our Palestinian people

recover all their national rights and, first and foremost, their rights

to return and to self-determination on the whole of the soil of their

homeland; and in the light of a study of the new political circumstances

that have come into existence in the period between the Council's last

and present sessions, resolves the following:

1. To reaffirm the Palestine Liberation Organization's previous attitude

to Resolution 242, which obliterates the national right of our people

and deals with the cause of our people as a problem of refugees. The

Council therefore refuses to have anything to do with this resolution at

any level, Arab or international, including the Geneva Conference.

2. The Liberation Organization will employ all means, and first and

foremost armed struggle, to liberate Palestinian territory and to

establish the independent combatant national authority for the people

over every part of Palestinian territory that is liberated. This will

require further changes being effected in the balance of power in favour

of our people and their struggle.

3. The Liberation Organization will struggle against any proposal for a

Palestinian entity the price of which is recognition, peace, secure

frontiers, renunciation of national rights and the deprival of our

people of their right to return and their right to self-determination on

the soil of their homeland.

4. Any step taken towards liberation is a step towards the realization

of the Liberation Organization's strategy of establishing the democratic

Palestinian state specified in the resolutions of previous

Palestinian National Councils.

5. Struggle along with the Jordanian national forces to establish

a Jordanian-Palestinian national front whose aim will be to set up in Jordan a democratic national authority in close contact with the Palestinian entity that is established through the struggle.

6. The Liberation Organization will struggle to establish unity in struggle between the two peoples and between all the forces of the Arab liberation movement that are in agreement on this programme.

7. In the light of this programme, the Liberation Organization will struggle to strengthen national unity and to raise it to the level where

it will be able to perform its national duties and tasks.

8. Once it is established, the Palestinian national authority will

strive to achieve a union of the confrontation countries, with the aim

of completing the liberation of all Palestinian territory, and as a step

along the road to comprehensive Arab unity.

9. The Liberation Organization will strive to strengthen its solidarity

with the socialist countries, and with forces of liberation and progress

throughout the world, with the aim of frustration all the schemes of

Zionism, reaction and imperialism.

10. In light of this programme, the leadership of the revolution will

determine the tactics which will serve and make possible the realization

of these objectives.

The Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization will make every effort to implement this programme, and should a situation arise affecting the destiny and the future of the Palestinian people, the National Assembly will be convened in extraordinary session. (Political Programme Adopted at the 12th Session of the Palestinian National Council Cairo, June 9, 1974).

HISTORICAL FABRICATIONS

Yasir Arafat the Noble Peace Prize winner stated:

"Abraham was neither Jewish nor a Hebrew, but was simply an Iraqi. The Jews have no right to claim part of the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hebron, Abraham's resting place, as a synagogue. Rather, the whole building should be a mosque." (Yasir Arafat, quoted in the Jerusalem Report, Dec. 26, 1996)

"The Palestinian Authority is now claiming that Rachel's Tomb in Bethlehem is the traditional tomb of the Cushite servant of Mohammed." (Ha'aretz, Oct.9, 1996)

"That is not the Western Wall at all, but a Moslem shrine." (Yasir Arafat, quoted in Ma'ariv, Oct. 11, 1996)

"The people of Israel realize perfectly well that they have no temples or ruins near Al Aqsa Mosque. According to the Koran, the people of Israel lived somewhere to the west of Bethlehem...they were living in Bethlehem and not in Jerusalem." (Sheikh Ismail Jamal, the PLO's Director of the Islamic Wakf in Jericho, quoted in the Chicago Jewish Sentinel, May 18, 1995)

Arafat once "convened a conference of the international press to claim that an imprint of an ancient Judean coin on the Israeli 10-agorot coin was Israel's imperialistic expansion map. This coin, he said, shows that Israel plans to conquer Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and parts of Egypt and Saudi Arabia." (Jerusalem Post, Feb. 22, 1995)

"... 'Netanyahu's Plan' completely matches the foundations of the greater Zionist plan which is organized according to specific stages that were determined when the Protocols of the Elders of Zion were composed and when Herzl along with Weizmann traveled around the world in order to determine the appropriate location for the implementation of this conspiracy." (article in the official PA newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda, November 30, 1997).

PALESTINIAN SCHOOLS

Palestinian Arab Schools Promote Hatred, Not Peace. Arafat's Orders: Schools Must Teach That Israel's Existence Is A "Catastrophe"

"The Palestinian Education Ministry has decided that the topic [Balfour Declaration] will now be introduced into the Palestinian educational curriculum...every year, on November 2, teachers will devote a lesson to studying the Balfour Declaration and its 'catastrophic' ramifications on the Palestinian people. Likewise, the Palestinian news media, including the radio and television, will dedicate special programs to the topic...Teachers and educators were asked to explain to students that the anniversary is a 'painful' memorial and a 'disaster' for the Palestinian people." (Khaled Abu Tuama, correspondent for the weekly Jerusalem newspaper)

Palestinian Arab denunciations of the Balfour Declaration are therefore, a rejection of the idea that a Jewish state of any size has a right to exist.

Israeli daily Ha'aretz reported describing the first of the PA's new school textbook The New History of the Arabs and the World which according to the report "compares Zionism with Nazism and describes the Talmud as a book of hatred toward gentiles...is to be used in most of the Palestinian Authority's schools...also claims Zionism advocated the liquidation [of the Palestinian Arabs]..."the racist and aggressive nature of the Zionist movement,....the basic similarity between Nazism, Fascism, and Zionism." (November 3, 1999)

THE MUSLIM CLERGY IN JERUSALEM

It seems that nothing changed since Haj Al-Ameen Al-Husseni's Nazi propaganda, Ikrima Sabri is another carbon copy of the original Muftis:

"Oh, Allah, destroy America for it is controlled by Zionist Jews...Allah will avenge, in the name of his Prophet, the colonialist settlers who are the descendants of monkeys and pigs...forgive us, oh Muhammad, for the acts of these monkeys and pigs who wished to profane your holiness".

(from the weekly Friday prayer sermon by PA Mufti Ikrima Sabri broadcast on the official PA radio station the Voice of Palestine, July 11, 1997.

When comparing Sabri with his predecessors before him, it is understood that much in common they have since Islamic fundamentals are what fuels their speeches and rhetoric. One could fairly say in Palestine "once a Mufti always a Mufti".

"Israeli authorities... infected by injection 300 Palestinian children with the HIV virus during the years of the Intifada." (Friday prayer sermon by PA Mufti Ikrima Sabri from the Temple Mount(Al-Aqsa Mosque) broadcasted on the official PA radio station the Voice of Palestine, July 11, 1997.).

"Jerusalem is a symbol for every Muslim in the world. The claim of the Jews to the right over it is false, and we recognize nothing but an entirely Islamic Jerusalem under Islamic supervision..." (PA Mufti Ikrama Sabri, Al-Bilad, July 31, 1997)

"The Zionist entity exists on seized land. The Jews remain enemies because they expropriate lands, build settlements and pay high sums to buy properties. They are the greatest enemies of us Muslims." (PA Mufti Ikrama Sabri in a newspaper interview (The New York Times, May 18, 1997)

"The existing State of Israel is not worthy of ruling since they know no religion and no God." (Sheikh Hamid Al-Bitawi, chairman of the Palestine Religious Scholars Association and head of the PA's Sharia Court of Appeals in Nablus, in an interview with the official PA newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda, July 27, 1997.)

"...The Jews always set a trap for the community of Muslims... The Koran repeatedly warns against the traps and plots of the "people of the book". They relentlessly scheme in all times and places and this is what they do today and tomorrow against the Muslim camp..." (An excerpt from the weekly Friday prayer sermon at Al-Aqsa mosque broadcast on the official PA radio station the Voice of Palestine, October 24, 1997).

"The soldiers of the Talmudic offensive do not hesitate to call openly for revenge against Christianity for having persecuted European Jewry... we know that Jesus was a victim of the roots of Talmudic extremism, which is currently waving a national flag, wearing a helmet of a national army and employing state-run terrorism by means of armed settlers and an army."

--- Hasan Al-Kashef, Director-General of the PA Information Ministry, quoted in the official PA newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda, July 7, 1997.

"Announcer: The occupation is shooting at children, women and infants... The latest reports reaching us from Hebron prove that the occupation forces have opened fire on children, women and infants...".

Voice of a Hebron resident: "...our enemies have no mercy and no heart... this shows that they have no conscience. Their hearts are like stone. They are not human beings. One can not compare them to people. They are like animals, they are like animals."

--- Report from the daily news program on the official PA radio station the Voice of Palestine, June 24, 1997.

"O our beautiful land imprisoned in a cage and surrounded by wolves, My shaded garden, the tormentors have destroyed you, and the dogs have settled in you, O Jerusalem, O my city, With my notebook and pencil and the fire of my rifle I will shatter the cage, I will kill the wolves and plant the flag. The dogs will not bark in the heroic cities."

JEWS ARE NAZIS

"The appearance of the Zionist movement prompted the emergence of terrorist, racist ideologies, such as, the Nazi ideology. There is great similarity between the two ideologies: the Zionists believe that they are "God's Chosen People," and that other nations were created to be used and ridiculed... the Zionist Jews claim that they hate the nations since they persecute them out of jealousy of their wisdom, their success and their being God's chosen. Similarly, the Nazis claim that the Aryans are the chosen and the pure and that anti-Semitism is the punishment of the Jewish Germans who betrayed their country... Of course the similarity between the two racist ideologies - the Zionist and the Nazi - is obvious and the despicable racial content of each of them is clear. The Zionist movement, as well as Nazism, believes that it represents the absolute truth that must be maintained, otherwise it will lose its value. .. The Nazi ideology pushed the world into the hell of the Second World War...and during the war applied all forms of terrorism, exactly as the Zionists are doing now. After the passing of one hundred years since the establishment of Zionism, here comes Benyamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of the Zionist enemy, and presents a Nazi formula when he says that "peace between Israel and the Arabs must be based on the principle of Israeli strength." Since its establishment, the racist Zionist entity has been implementing various forms of terrorism on a daily basis which are a repetition of the Nazi terror. This proves the shared roots of Nazi and Zionist thought. This also explains the cooperation between the Jews and the Nazis during World War II, through which were revealed the forged claims of the Zionists regarding alleged acts of slaughter perpetrated against the Jews during the same period... There is no difference between Hitler and Ben-Gurion, and if there was a difference at all, it was one of quantity and not one of substance. Anyone who investigates the crimes of the Zionists... discovers explicitly the complementary traits between Zionism, which is a racist terrorist movement, and the Nazi movement."

--- from an article in the official PA newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadeedah, September 3, 1997.

"...The rumor about the 'superior Jew' versus the 'stupid' others which are not worthy of anything but of serving as subjects, is spread around the world. The Jews put their best efforts into creating it. Every genius has to be of Jewish descent; if he is not of Jewish descent he is forced to make one up for himself. Additionally, any talented military commander, either his mother is Jewish if his name is reminiscent of anything Jewish, or, if his mother is not Jewish- then he ends up being a Jewish agent. The Jews succeeded, during their history, to turn the massacres they were subjected to into a 'weapon of mass destruction' against their adversaries and used the weapon of anti-Semitism in an impressive way... In order to establish their "superiority" they provided proof and claimed that the founder of modern psychology, Sigmund Freud, is a Jew in origin and blood; that the father of the Theory of Relativity, who changed the face of science, Albert Einstein, is a Jew inside and out, and that Isaac Newton, who discovered Gravity, is wholeheartedly a Jew. The best proof of the Jewish political ability is the Communist Karl Marx, who is also a Jew from birth. Regarding the millionaires... from Rothschild through Montefiore to Moskowitz: aren't they sufficient proof of Jewish 'superiority'?"

"Netanyahu was blinded by the tyranny of power and is interested in total Palestinian and Arab surrender to his unlimited desires... perhaps in the European style of the German armies so that he will be able to impose greater Israel and establish the superiority of the Hebrew race..."

--- from an article in the official PA newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadeedah, August 17, 1997.

"While the Israeli government is speaking about the atrocities committed against the Jews at Auschwitz, Birkenau and Dachau concentration camps... it is directly involved these days in weaving plots and causing two major catastrophes to their neighbors... Our homeland was transformed into a big concentration camp..."

--- from a PA Information Ministry press release, April 22, 1997.

Ironically, the view of Israel as Nazi and Fascist permeates Palestinian News Papers, schools, Mosques, and even the walls everywhere:

"Jerusalemites and any other Muslim who is able to reach the gates of the Al-Aqsa mosque for Friday prayers must report to the Israeli police at the gates to hand in his ID to be checked and on many occasions is prevented from entry or even arrested. This of course should remind the Europeans of Nazi occupation by Nazi soldiers surrounding churches and places of worship during the Second World War. Israeli practices in many aspects are equal with, if not more brutal than, those practiced by occupying Nazi soldiers dealing with French-Dutch citizens during the Second World War."

--- PA Information Ministry press release, December 10, 1997.

"...the Arab sees with his own eyes an Israeli occupation in Palestine, the Golan and Lebanon, which can not be compared to any occupation in this century except the Nazi occupation..."

--- from an article in the Palestinian daily Al-Quds, November 17, 1997.

MILITARY OFFICIALS

"What 'Israel' is trying to do...by way of its control over a number of institutions in the US, such as the Congress and its allies...reveals the nakedness of those people and their blind submission to world Zionism...The peace equation was somewhat violated, since the Zionists were able to demonstrate their power in the US...that is the power which was clearly revealed in the Zionist American Congress which led to the terrorizing of the American president and the administration, through threats of sex and morals scandals which are disseminated by the obedient media in the US..."

--- Brig. Gen. Khaled Al-Musmar, Deputy Head of the PA's Indoctrination Directorate, Falastin Al-Yaum, August 21, 1997.

MINISTRY OF JUSTICE

"Five Zionist Jews are running the policy of the United States in the Middle East: Madeleine Albright, William Cohen, Dennis Ross, Miller and Martin Indyk. It is not possible that the American nation, which consists of 250 million people, can not find anyone other than five Zionist Jews to conduct the peace process with the Palestinians."

--- PA Justice Minister Freih Abu Middein (Yediot Aharonot, April 13, 1997).

"Just as Hitler's Mein Kampf was a warning sign for his future political path which brought disaster on Germany and the world, so Netanyahu's A Place Among the Nations explains all of the author's initiatives since he took power in Israel... The racist curses against the enemy and the legendary praises of himself make a noticeable point of similarity between Hitler's and Netanyahu's books... Netanyahu tries to calm Jewish fears about the demographic superiority and the natural Arab birth rates in Palestine... He does not refer to the means he will employ to achieve the goal of a reduction of the Arab birth rate... In this point we are reminded of Hitler's statements about the sterilization of undesired segments of the population."

--- from an article by Nahid Munir Al-Rayyis, a member of the PA's Legislative Council (Al-Quds, October 15, 1997).

THE CIVIL AUTHORITY

"This reminds me of Goebbels (Hitler's propaganda minister) who said 'tell lies and lies, and in the end they will believe you.' The same is true of the Jews. It is a disgrace that they are issuing an arrest warrant against me. Apparently they have learned Goebbels' methods."

--- PA Police Chief Ghazi Jabali, in reaction to the arrest warrant issued against him by Israel for his involvement in terrorist attacks (Maariv, September 12, 1997).

THE HOLOCAUST DENIAL, A FABRICATION?

Short testimony:

Our first black and white TV was purchased in the 70’s. Joyful of this day my father allowed us to watch until the channel completed it’s broadcast for the day. That week was a special week, Israel was showing footage on the holocaust for several days non-stop. We watched many hours feasting on pop corn laughing and mocking. It is said that "a picture is worth a thousand words" yet to us a whole footage of millions of pictures were worth nothing. Even after watching the footage, we still denied the holocaust as a Jewish fabrication. Some say that it does not matter what people believed, yet what we believed dictates our actions. Like I said, the state of the heart is what makes people, not facts, for not many are concerned about facts. (The Author).

Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen), Arafat's #2 man, and author of the book "The Other Side" accused the Jews of having a secret Relationship Between Nazism and the Zionist Movement were less than one million Jews were killed: "the Zionist movement was a partner in the slaughter of the Jews." (Jerusalem Post, Jan. 26, 1995) .

In a letter to UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, United Nations Ambassador of Israel Yehuda Lancry protested "an alarming campaign of anti-Israel and anti-Jewish incitement emanating from the Arab world," "This campaign of propaganda knows no bounds demonization of the Israeli enemy, the most abhorrent anti-Semitism and the denial of the Holocaust have emerged in full force," Lancry wrote. He also noted that the campaign of rhetoric against Israel has increased as efforts to promote negotiations are intensified.

General Kofi Annan told the American Jewish Committee in December he supports permanent status privileges for Israel in the UN. Annan acknowledged the misguided efforts to isolate Israel and the "regrettable impression of bias and one-sidedness" at the UN. Annan did note some progress as anti-Semitism finally was listed as a form of racism by the General Assembly last year. However, he noted the body again has just passed anti-Israeli resolutions that "might prejudice the outcome of delicate [peace] negotiations.".

In the U.S, Holocaust deniers in the U.S such as Bradley Smith "director" of the self-styled "Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust," (CODOH) describe as Holocaust "revisionism," has become one of the most important vehicles for contemporary anti-Semitism.

Bradley and others strategy is simple and familiar. They distort, even fabricate, history and then broadcast their creations. They have learned from Hitler that "a lie is believed because of the insolent inflexibility with which it is propagated." Smith and his cohorts are engaged in what historian Deborah Lipstadt has termed an "assault on truth and memory.".

While Holocaust denial and most conspiracy theories are clear to most Americans to be a historical lie and taken with a grain of salt by many, in the Middle East, such false ideas are simply good Media and easily sold to the public as fact. What is thrown out to the dump in the American West has always found a haven in the Middle East. Newspapers, School curriculum, and even children school books are plagued with Holocaust denial and imbued with hate to the point that any attempt to re-education would be considered a Zionist conspiracy.

Here are but a few examples:

"Since its establishment, the racist Zionist entity has been implementing various forms of terrorism on a daily basis which are a repetition of the Nazi terror... This also explains the cooperation between the Jews and the Nazis during World War II, through which were revealed the forged claims of the Zionists regarding alleged acts of slaughter perpetrated against the Jews during the same period..."

--- from an article in the official PA newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadeedah, September 3, 1997.

"Moderator: It is well-known that every year the Jews exaggerate what the Nazis did to them. They claim there were 6 million killed, but precise scientific research demonstrates that there were no more than 400,000. Has the complex which the Jews have as a result of the Nazis' actions created within them psychological burdens which they are now releasing against the Palestinians?

Palestinian author Hassan Al-Agha: The truth is I do not think so. Psychological baggage after 40 or 50 years... I am skeptical... But I do think that we are talking about an investment. They have profited materially, spiritually, politically and economically from the talk about the Nazi killings. This investment is favorable to them and they view it as a profitable activity so they inflate the number of victims all the time. In another ten years, I do not know what number they will reach, Last year, for the first time, a statistic appeared according to which 1 1/2 million children were killed by the Nazis. This number was not previously known... If this number was indeed correct, then someone would certainly have remembered it... In my opinion, it is an investment, and as you know, when it comes to economics and investments, the Jews have been very experienced ever since the days of the Merchant of Venice."

--- from a cultural affairs program broadcast on the official PA television station on August 25, 1997.

"At the end of our period of imprisonment the time passed very slowly. We felt as if we were being burned. Imagine...the Jews are saying: "The Nazis burned us in gas chambers." That is a false tale, but at times I felt that we were those who were being burned up within the walls..."

--- Abir Al-Wahidi, female Fatah terrorist released in February 1997, in an interview with the official PA television station, February 13, 1997.

ARAFAT REVEALED

Arafat and his cabinet who blames the Jews as thieves pockets 40% of all monies donated by American tax dollars and the united nations. "Almost all of it is stolen or dribbled away. The Palestinian Authority's own auditors reported last year that nearly 40 percent of the annual budget - $323 million - was wasted, looted, or misused. In President Arafat's regime, bribery is endemic, services are nil, connections are everything, and might is the only right there is". (THE WASHINGTON POST, Wednesday, December 2, 1998).

Indeed, the world has gone crazy, for Arafat to win a Noble Prize for peace is amazing. Arafat was questioned:

Do you feel sometimes that you made a mistake in agreeing to Oslo?

Arafat: No... no. Allah's messenger Mohammad accepted the al-Hudaibiya peace treaty and Salah a-Din accepted the peace agreement with Richard the Lion-Hearted." (Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat in a newspaper interview.)

What Yasser Arafat was referring to is the permission by Allah to break treaties and agreements made with any enemy since the ten-year pact was broken by Muhammad within two years, when the Islamic forces, having strengthened during the cease-fire, conquered the Koreish. Salah a-Din was a Muslim leader who, after a cease-fire, declared a jihad against the Crusaders and captured Jerusalem. This is the idea and the plan behind the peace accord with Israel the enemy of Allah.

On Changing the PLO Covenant, which calls for the total destruction of Israel: "We have no intention of changing or nullifying the Covenant, rather, we will adhere to it until our last breath since it embodies the essence of our demands." --- Tayseer Qaba, deputy chairman of the PLO's Palestine National Council (A-Nahar, 19 September 1995, page 16)

"Jerusalem is the capital of the state of Palestine whether someone likes it or not, and whoever does not like it, let him drink from the sea of Gaza." --- P.L.O. Chairman Yasser Arafat, in a speech given at a party to celebrate the birth of his daughter (Palestine Broadcasting Corporation, 6 August 1995)

"The Israelis are mistaken if they think we do not have an alternative to negotiations. By Allah I swear they are wrong. The Palestinian people are prepared to sacrifice the last boy and the last girl so that the Palestinian flag will be flown over the walls, the churches and the mosques of Jerusalem." (Yasser Arafat, in a speech given on 6 August 1995 at a party to celebrate the birth of his daughter, Haaretz, 6 September 1995; The Jerusalem Post, 7 September 1995).

"Jenin is the first nail in Israel's coffin. We will agree to leave here only the dead Jews who are buried here. Like all Palestinians, I am happy that Arafat is here today in a liberated Palestinian city. With the help of Allah, all the land of Palestine will be liberated. The Jews must return to where they came from, to their Diaspora.... Abu Ammar [Yasser Arafat] visited us and spoke with us...Abu Ammar also thinks as I do. In the long run - he will get all of Palestine. He will not give up on one inch of Palestinian land...I don't want to continue living in Gaza or Jenin. My place is in Palestinian Beersheba." --- Suleiman Adwan, a PLO policeman and member of the "Al Quds" Brigade, which is stationed in Jenin (Davar Rishon, 20 November 1995, page 2) On the liberation of Palestine: "The struggle will continue until all of Palestine is liberated." (PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat, Voice of Palestine, 11 November 1995)

The chameleon can change colors, but never it's nature.

HIS CONTINUED TIES WITH TERRORISM

The new "mini Iraq" state headed by Arafat has world recognition including Israel's favorite ally; the United States. Yet nothing has changed in Arafat's methods of terrorism. The only thing different is that he can always point the finger at Hammas while he carries on his campaign of peace. As PA's Justice Minister Freih Abu Medein sums it best: "The PA and the [Hamas] opposition complement each other...We regard Hamas and Islamic Jihad as national elements...The main enemy, now and forever, is Israel." (An Nahar, April 11, 1995; Al Quds, April 14, 1995)

Hammas terrorist group for example, enjoys more then the full benefits in this new state. The families of terrorists killed in action in bus bombing and other civilian target attacks are awarded free air tickets, monthly allowance, and scholarships abroad. Additional to these benefits, Hammas Receives funding from Palestinian expatriates, Iran, and private benefactors in Saudi Arabia and other moderate Arab states. Some fundraising and propaganda activity take place in Western Europe and North America as well.

The first lady, Suha Tukan Arafat's wife carries along the mission and support. Parties are thrown in honor of terrorists, speeches by Arafat and the first lady, and even street names are given after the names of terrorists.

Hammas, the terrorist group, born in 1987 in the Gaza Strip. By 1988 as a primary rival to the PLO Founded on Islamic nationalism, it took advantage of the Intifada which gave it's birth. Their plan of action was an immediate and unrelenting frontal assault against Israel. Hammas has known ties to Iran and suspected ties to individuals in the United States and Western Europe are at the very least maintaining the groups financial existence. Hammas is one of the leading terrorist organizations of its kind.

Depending on the outcome of peace process, if the PLO does not deliver the land to the Palestinians, Hammas is the likely candidate to take over Palestinian leadership, it has an armed militant wing known as Izudeen Al-Qassam which carries out numbers of large scale suicide bombings against Israeli targets. Primary targets are unarmed Jewish settlers. This makes them all the more appealing as they present the greatest opportunity for the infliction of casualties.

Hamas' relationship to the PLO is complex and intertwined, prior to the intifada, a number of Hammas had joined the PLO; and many current Islamists are former PLO nationalists.

Arafat has refused to extradite Hammas killers to Israel, shut down Hammas training camps, outlaw Hammas, or even publicly criticize Hammas by name. Col. Jibril Rajoub, chief of the Palestinian Authority's Preventive Security Service, said in a May 27, 1998 interview with Al-Jazira television: "We view Hammas as part of the national and Islamic liberation movement Outside of the 3 percent [of Judea-Samaria that is under complete PA control] they can do as they wish. They can go to Jordan to carry out armed operations and they can also carry out such operations from Syria. At the top of my list of priorities is the [Israeli] occupation and not Hammas. We are not interested in arrests."

Arafat said "Hammas, even its military wing, is a patriotic movement." (The Russian newspaper Novoya Vremy, May 25, 1997).

Arafat's "Foreign Minister," Farouk Kaddoumi, said: "Hamas is part of the national movement and it has its own style and approach to action. It is resisting the Israeli enemy." (An Nahar, March 9, 1996)

PA Cabinet Minister Hanan Ashrawi said: "It is not up to Israel to decide or define who is our enemy. Hammas is not the enemy, it is part of the political fabric." (Jerusalem Post, July 25, 1995)

Abbas Zakai of the Fatah Central Committee said: "[Hamas's attacks] strengthen the Palestinian position...It would be dangerous to stop these actions, because the accords will crumble if there is nothing to make Israel go forward." (Al Hayat, April 17, 1995)

Asked by a reporter about Hammas, Arafat replied, "There is no confrontation with Hammas and the Palestinian Authority." (United Press International, September 12, 1996)

PA Justice Minister Freih Abu Medein said: "The PA and the [Hamas] opposition compliment each other...We regard Hammas and Islamic Jihad as national elements...The main enemy, now and forever, is Israel." (An Nahar, April 11, 1995; Al Quds, April 14, 1995)

PA Cabinet Minister Nabil Sha'ath said: "We have a brotherly relationship with Hamas." (Reuters, Oct. 28, 1994)

Hisham Abdel-Razzak, Fatah leader in Gaza, said: "The dialogue with Hammas will not be broken off. Hammas is part of the Palestinian people." (United Press International, Oct. 28, 1994)

Arafat and his Aides Praise Hamas Terrorists:

"The Engineer", Yahya Ayyash who led the military wing of Hammas and was well known for his proficiency as a "bomb maker", suspected of planning seven suicide bombings in Israel that killed as many as 70 people then killed January 5th, 1996 by improvised explosive device contained within his cellular telephone. Israeli security officials have neither confirmed nor denied their involvement in Ayyash's death. After his death, Arafat praised him as a "martyr" (N.Y.Times, Jan.8, 1996) and had his name given to a public square in Arafat-controlled Jericho (Peace Watch June 1996 Report, p.15) , and a street in Beit Lahiya (Jerusalem Post, Dec. 17, 1996)

Hamas leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin was called by Arafat as "my brother Ahmed Yassin the warrior." (New York Times, July 2, 1994) . Following his death of Muhi-Deen Al-Shareef, another Hamas bomb-maker responsible for dozens of Israeli deaths, Yasser Arafat's wife, Suha, publicly praised him as "a Palestinian martyr." (Jewish Telegraphic Agency, April 6, 1998). After the March 1997 suicide bombing of a Tel Aviv cafe (killing 3 Israeli women), the Palestinian Legislative Council sent condolences to the family of the bomber Moussa Ghneimat and praised him as a "holy martyr"(Ma'ariv, March 28, 1997)

Arafat even went as far as hiring Imad Falouji, a Hamas activist from Gaza, as a Minister Without Portfolio, and chose Talal Sidr, a Hamas activist from Hebron, as Minister of Youth. (Jerusalem Post, January .26, 1997).

Besides praises and street names, Hammas even enjoys exhibitions glorifying terrorism and terrorists, at A-Najah University, a report praising the exhibition stated:

"The University's campus was turned into a Palestinian city during the Intifada--dozens of veiled-face individuals carrying [replica] submachine guns, five machine guns on the shoulders, swords and other sharp objects which created the Intifada's unique culture...At the entrance to the "Martyrs' Exhibit," enormous pictures of holy martyrs who ascended to heaven were drawn...as well as a huge drawing of a veiled-face youth, carrying a stone in order to throw it at an occupation patrol(Arafat's official newspaper, Al Hayat Al Jadidah, November 23, 1997)

Palestinian Authority's Preventive Security Service, said in a May 27, 1998 interview with Al- Jazira television:

"We view Hamas as part of the national and Islamic liberation movement Outside of the 3 percent [of Judea-Samaria that is under complete PA control] they can do as they wish. They can go to Jordan to carry out armed operations and they can also carry out such operations from Syria. At the top of my list of priorities is the [Israeli] occupation and not Hammas. We are not interested in arrests. ".

In a statement on June 2, 1998, the Israeli government said that these latest developments prove that "The Palestinian Authority has failed to wage a systematic campaign against terrorist groups. The terrorist infrastructure remains in place and the PA openly approves of terrorist attacks against Israel as long as they do not implicate the Authority.

Additional evidence of collaboration between the PA and Hamas:

Arafat and Aides Praise Hamas

Arafat said "Hamas, even its military wing, is a patriotic movement." (The Russian newspaper Novoya Vremy, May 25, 1997).

Arafat Permits "Hamas Week" in PA-Controlled Nablus

In November 1997, Arafat permitted the Hamas terrorist group to stage a week-long exhibition glorifying terrorism and terrorists, at A-Najah University, in PA-controlled Nablus. Arafat's official newspaper, Al Hayat Al Jadidah, published a report praising the exhibition in its edition of November 23, 1997:

The University's campus was turned into a Palestinian city during the Intifada--dozens of veiled-face individuals carrying [replica] submachine guns, five machine guns on the shoulders, swords and other sharp objects which created the Intifada's unique culture...At the entrance to the "Martyrs' Exhibit," enormous pictures of holy martyrs who ascended to heaven were drawn...as well as a huge drawing of a veiled-face youth, carrying a stone in order to throw it at an occupation patrol... Marking the opening of the "Struggle Week" activities, veiled-face youths blew up and burned an Israeli bus, symbolizing the suicide bombings carried out by Iz a-Din al-Qassam's squads. In one corner, there was large tent called "The Shahid's Tent," which presented the clothes of holy martyrs who were killed during the Intifada... The body [effigy] of a man who was executed during the Intifada for collaborating with the occupation was hanging on the stem of a palm tree...

Hizballah

Party of God, Islamic Jihad for the Liberation of Palestine.

Hizballah, or Party of God, is a Lebanese Shi'ite group created in 1983 funded by the Islamic government in Iran. Its goal is the creation of an independent Islamic nation in Lebanon and the destruction of the State of Israel. It's activities have included mass demonstrations, guerrilla attacks from camps in the Bekaa Valley and suicide car bombings.

Their targets have included Israeli civilians and military personnel, some of it's operations were the infamous 1983 attack on the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut. killing hundreds of Americans and countless Katuysha rocket attacks on Jewish settlements. In March 1992, an immense car bomb destroyed the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires, Argentina. An identical device exploded there on July 18 outside a Jewish community center killing nearly 100 civilians, and the bombing of a Panamanian commuter flight that crashed near Colon on July 19. Hizballah remains one of the most significant terrorist organizations operating today.

DID THE JEW STEAL THE LAND?

Common Palestinian opinion:

"The Jews entered Palestine forcefully and stole the land".

Response: At first one must question:

when? Did the Jews immigrate to Palestine carrying artillery or any weapons? Where were the Jews when they acquired weapons? What front did they enter from?

JEWISH LAND PURCHASES

Despite the growth in their population, the Arabs continued to assert they were being displaced. The truth is from the beginning of World War I, part of Palestine's land was owned by absentee landlords who lived in Cairo, Damascus and Beirut. About 80 percent of the Palestinian Arabs were debtridden peasants, seminomads and Bedouins.

In 1946, the British Mandate Government surveyed the land, ownership was as followes:

70% owned by the British government, in trust for the Jewish National Homeland

transfered by international law to Israel

8.6% owned by Jews

3.3% owned by resident Arabs

16.5% owned by non-resident Arabs

When Jews started to buy Arab lands, Jews actually went out of their way to avoid purchasing land in areas where Arabs might be displaced. They sought land that was largely uncultivated, swampy, cheap and, most important, without tenants.

In 1920, Labor Zionist leader David BenGurion expressed his concern about the Arab fellahin, whom he viewed as "the most important asset of the native population.".

Ben Gurion said "under no circumstances must we touch land belonging to fellahs or worked by them." He advocated helping liberate them from their oppressors. "Only if a fellah leaves his place of settlement," Ben Gurion added, "should we offer to buy his land, at an appropriate price."

It was only after the Jews had bought all of this available land that they began to purchase cultivated land. Many Arabs were willing to sell because of the migration to coastal towns and because they needed money to invest in the citrus industry.

When John Hope Simpson arrived in Palestine in May 1930, he observed: "They [Jews] paid high prices for the land, and in addition they paid to certain of the occupants of those lands a considerable amount of money which they were not legally bound to pay." .

In 1931, Lewis French conducted a survey of landlessness and eventually offered new plots to any Arabs who had been "dispossessed." British officials received more than 3,000 applications, of which 80 percent were ruled invalid by the Government's legal adviser because the applicants were not landless Arabs. This left only about 600 landless Arabs, 100 of whom accepted the Government land offer.

In April 1936, a new outbreak of Arab attacks on Jews was instigated by a Syrian guerrilla named Fawzi alQawukji, the commander of the Arab Liberation Army. By November, when the British finally sent a new commission headed by Lord Peel to investigate, 89 Jews had been killed and more than 300 wounded.

The Peel Commission's report found that Arab complaints about Jewish land acquisition were baseless. It pointed out that "much of the land now carrying orange groves was sand dunes or swamp and uncultivated when it was purchased....there was at the time of the earlier sales little evidence that the owners possessed either the resources or training needed to develop the land.".

Moreover, the Commission found the shortage was "due less to the amount of land acquired by Jews than to the increase in the Arab population." The report concluded that the presence of Jews in Palestine, along with the work of the British Administration, had resulted in higher wages, an improved standard of living and ample employment opportunities.

In his memoirs, Transjordan's King Abdullah wrote:

"It is made quite clear to all, both by the map drawn up by the Simpson Commission and by another compiled by the Peel Commission, that the Arabs are as prodigal in selling their land as they are in useless wailing and weeping (author's emphasis).".

Even at the height of the Arab revolt in 1938, the British High Commissioner to Palestine believed the Arab landowners were complaining about sales to Jews to drive up prices for lands they wished to sell. Many Arab landowners had been so terrorized by Arab rebels they decided to leave Palestine and sell their property to the Jews.

The Jews were paying exorbitant prices to wealthy landowners for small tracts of arid land. "In 1944, Jews paid between $1,000 and $1,100 per acre in Palestine, mostly for arid or semiarid land; in the same year, rich black soil in Iowa was selling for about $110 per acre.".

By 1947, Jewish holdings in Palestine amounted to about 463,000 acres. Approximately 45,000 of these acres were acquired from the Mandatory Government; 30,000 were bought from various churches and 387,500 were purchased from Arabs. Analyses of land purchases from 1880 to 1948 show that 73 percent of Jewish plots were purchased from large landowners, not poor fellahin. Those who sold land included the mayors of Gaza, Jerusalem and Jaffa.

As'ad elShuqeiri, a Muslim religious scholar and father of PLO chairman Ahmed Shuqeiri, took Jewish money for his land. Even King Abdullah leased land to the Jews. In fact, many leaders of the Arab nationalist movement, including members of the Muslim Supreme Council, sold land to Jews. The weekly Fasl al-Maqal, owned by Arab-Israeli parliament deputy Azmi Beshara and based in the predominantly Arab city of Nazareth in north Israel, ran a list of 54 leading Palestinians who sold land to Jews from 1918-1945.

The paper reported Thursday that Palestinian nationalist leaders,

Including the grandfather of the PLO's current top official in Jerusalem, sold land to Jews in the years before Israel's founding.

The paper ran a story titled "Our Fathers On The Take," takes the issue back to the era of the British mandate before Israel's founding in 1948, when the Zionist movement was seeking land in Palestine to create a Jewish state.

The paper reports that some of those highest up in the Palestinian

nationalist movement which opposed the Jewish state were at the same

time selling land to the Jewish Agency, the body spearheading the Zionist drive. The weekly's editor-in-chief, Awad Abdel Fatah reports that the names came from an official document dating back to the British mandate in Palestine, which the paper received from official sources in Jordan. He said, "We published only a partial list from the document, showing the role of the Palestinian leadership in the flow of lands to the Jewish Agency before the disaster of 1948," he said.

The names are embarrassing to the PA as one is a relative of Yasir

Arafat and he is one of the most prominent names on the list. His name is Mohammed Taher al-Husseini, father of al-Hajj Amin al-Husseini, the mufti of Jerusalem and supreme head of the Palestinian nationalist movement. Another was Kazem al-Husseini, grandfather on the mother's side of Faisal Husseini, the top PLO official in Jerusalem. Kazem sold lands in Jerusalem, where he was mayor from 1918-1920. The list includes five other members of the Husseini family, one of the most prominent clans in pre-1948 Palestine and today.

Other members of leading Palestinian families also showed up on the

list, as did members of the High Arab Committee, the High Islamic Council and the Arab Executive Committee, the main bodies which led the nascent Palestinian nationalist movement against Zionism. Mussa al-Alami, who headed the Palestinian delegation to the London Conference of 1939 convened to discuss the future of mandate Palestine, sold 90 hectares (222 acres) to Jews in Bisan, now the north Israeli city of Beit Shean, according to the list.

Ragheb al-Nashashibi, mayor of Jerusalem from 1920-1934 and head of the National Defense Party, sold over 120 hectares (296 acres) of land in Jaffa, outside Tel Aviv. Nashashibi also sold land in east Jerusalem upon which Hebrew University was later built.

Yaakub al-Ghussein, who headed the Arab Fund created to gather money to support the Palestinian cause, sold land to Jews in Jaffa and what is now the Gaza Strip for 4,000 Palestinian pounds, equivalent to British pound sterling at that era. And the other elite Muslim and Christian families of Palestine, including the Abdel Hadi, Bseiso, and Fahum clans, were represented on the list.

The Jews before the wars were already living as peasants, bought lands, cultivated them after years of neglect. The Jews restored the land and made it what it is today having an economy ten times the size of that of Egypt, Jordan and Syria combined, while the Arabs have been plotting wars against her since the 1920s and instead of wiping out every Jew in the area resulted in the displacement of almost 1/2 the Palestinians in 1948.

The Arab opposition to an Israeli state began after the Balfour Declaration 1917, which supported the idea of a Jewish national homeland. In the 1920s there were anti-Zionist riots in Palestine, then governed by the UK under a League of Nations mandate.

In 1936 an Arab revolt led to a British royal commission that recommended partition approved by the United Nations in 1947, but rejected by the Arabs.

When it became clear that the British intended to leave by May 15, leaders of the Yishuv decided to implement that part of the partition plan calling for establishment of a Jewish state.

In Tel Aviv on May 14 the Provisional State Council, formerly the National Council, "representing the Jewish people in Palestine and the World Zionist Movement, proclaimed the establishment of the Jewish State in Palestine, to be called Medinat Israel (the State of Israel) ...

On May 15 the armies of Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq joined Palestinian and other Arab guerrillas who had been fighting Jewish forces since November 1947.

The civil war now became an international conflict, the first Arab-Israeli War, called the war of independence by Israel. The Arabs failed to prevent establishment of a Jewish state, and the war ended with four UN-arranged armistice agreements between Israel and Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, and Syria. The frontiers defined in the armistice agreements remained until they were altered by Israel's conquests during the Six-Day War in 1967.

The wars that were intended to annihilate the Jews ended up in Israel's victory. For Arabs to bring up atrocities, murders, incidents of violence by the Israelis as a result of trying to annihilate her can be expected, especially when 5 wars was waged on Israel, and hundreds of terror attacks intended to destroy every Jew in Israel. Wars throughout history has always had repercussions and Arabs are not immune from the bad taste of their own medicine.

Mr. Assad Sysria's dictator vowed at the start of the 1967 war: "Our forces are now entirely ready... to initiate the act of liberation itself and to explode the Zionist presence in the Arab homeland... The time has come to enter into a battle of annihilation." President Nasser of Egypt declared, "Our basic goal is the destruction of Israel". (Laqueur, op. cit., pp. 175-185).

Such statements has no effect on changing the hearts of the Arab and Muslim masses who know that Muhammad Islam's prophet annihilated the Jews from Saudi Arabia, and the unsophisticated Westerners mind and heart has been seduced to believe a lie, that the Arabs and Muslims worldwide have a great desire for peace, the "final solution" evil saga will continue as planed by Satan. Westerners forget who supported Hitler in World War II, the Soviet Union during the Cold War and Saddam Hussein in the Gulf War, instead they rally behind Arafat who still refuses to change the PLO Charter calling for the destruction of Israel.

WHO TRULY SCATTERED THE PALESTINIANS

Abu Mazen wrote in an article entitled "Madha `Alamna wa-Madha Yajib An Na`mal" [What We Have Learned and What We Should Do], published in "Falastin eth-Thawra" [Revolutionary Palestine], the official journal of the PLO, Beirut, March 1976, "The Arab armies entered Palestine to protect the Palestinians from the Zionist tyranny but instead, they abandoned them, forced them to emigrate and to leave their homeland...The Arab States succeeded in scattering the Palestinian people."

Khaled al-`Azm, who served as Prime Minister of Syria in 1948 and 1949, wrote in his memoirs (published in Beirut, 1973), that among the reasons for the Arab failure in 1948 was "the call by the Arab Governments to the inhabitants of Palestine to evacuate it and to leave for the bordering Arab countries, after having sown terror among them...Since 1948 we have been demanding the return of the refugees to their homes. But we ourselves are the ones who encouraged them to leave...We have brought destruction upon a million Arab refugees, by calling upon them and pleading with them to leave their land, their homes, their work and business..." (Part 1, pp. 386-387).

Harry C. Stebbens, who was in an official position in the British Mandatory Government in Palestine in 1947-48, wrote in the London Evening Standard (Friday, 10 January, 1969):

"Long before the end of the British mandate, between January and April, 48, practically all my Arab Palestinian staff of some 200 men and women and all of the 1800 labor force had left Haifa in spite of every possible effort to assure them of their safety if they stayed. They all left for one or more of the following reasons:

"1. The Arab terrorism engendered by the November, 1947, U.N. partition resolution frightened them to death of their imaginative souls and they feared Jewish retaliation.

"2. Propagandists promised a blood bath as soon as the mandate ended in

which the street of all the cities would run with blood.

"3. The promised invasion by the foreign Arab armies (which started on May 14, 1948, with the Arab Legion massacre of some 200 Jewish settlers at Kfar Etzion) was preceded by extensive broadcasts from Cairo, Damascus, Amman, and Beirut to the effect that any Arabs who stayed would be hanged as collaborators with the Jews.

It is true that the massacre of Deir Yassin (always quoted by the Arabs) caused some of the refugees. But the massacre of Kfar Etzion, the massacre of the hospital convoy which killed 48 Jewish doctors and nurses, the continued shelling and blasting of Jewish settlement for more than 20 years, has not caused one single Israeli to move away. They sit tight and if necessary in their shelters while across the river, where the shooting comes from, the towns and villages are deserted, last year's crops still rot on the trees and the refugees move still further away from any trouble.

Jamal Husseini, in charge of the Palestine Higher Committee, told the Security Council on 23 April 1948, "we have never concealed the fact that we began the fighting."

On 6 September 1949, the Beirut Telegraph carried an interview with Mr. Emile Ghoury, Secretary of the Palestine Higher Committee, in which he said: "The fact that there are these refugees is the direct consequence of the act of the Arab States in opposing partition and the Jewish State."

The Jordan daily Falastin wrote on 19 February 1949: "The Arab States which had encouraged the Palestine Arabs to leave their homes temporarily in order to be out of the way of the Arab invasion armies, have failed to keep their promises to help these refugees."

As late as 12 October 1963, the Cairo daily Akhbar el-Yom, recalled: "15 May 1948 arrived...on that very day the Mufti of Jerusalem appealed to the Arabs of Palestine to leave the country, because the Arab armies were about to enter and fight in their stead..."

A British police report to Jerusalem Headquarters on 26 April 1948 attested:

"Every effort is being made by the Jews to persuade the Arab population to

stay and carry on with their normal lives..."

In Haifa, on 27 April 1948, the Arab National Committee refused to sign a truce, reporting in a memorandum to the Arab League Governments: "when the delegation entered the conference room it proudly refused to sign the truce and asked that the evacuation of the Arab population and their transfer to neighboring Arab countries be facilitated...The military and civil authorities and the Jewish representatives expressed their profound regret. The mayor of Haifa (Mr. Shabtai Levi) adjourned the meeting with a passionate appeal to the Arab population to reconsider its decision..."

"The first group of our fifth columnists consists of those who abandon their houses and business and go to live elsewhere... At the first sign of trouble they take to their heels to escape sharing the burden of struggle." (Editorial, Ash Sha'ab, January 30 1948 (Haifa))

"The Arab streets are curiously deserted and, evidently following the poor example of the more moneyed class there has been an exodus from Jerusalem too, though not to the same extent as in Jaffa and Haifa." (London Times, May 5 1948).

"The refugees were confident that their absence would not last long, and that they would return within a week or two. Their leaders had promised them that the Arab Armies would crush the "Zionist gangs" very quickly and that there was no need for panic or fear of a long

exile." (Msgnr. George Hakim (Greek Catholic bishop), as quoted in Sada al Janub, August 16 1948 (Beirut)).

"Of the 62,000 Arabs who formerly lived in Haifa not more than 5,000 or 6,000 remained. Various factors influenced their decision to seek safety in flight. There is but little doubt that the most potent of the factors were the announcements made over the air by the Higher Arab Executive, urging the Arabs to quit... It was clearly intimated that those Arabs who remained in Haifa and accepted Jewish protection would be regarded as renegades." (The Economist, October 2 1948 (London))

All the above were written while the exodus of refugees-to-be was still

taking place. Let us now turn to statements made after the fact:

"The Arab States encouraged the Palestine Arabs to leave their homes temporarily in order to be out of the way of the Arab invasion armies." (Editorial, Falastin, February 19, 1949 (Amman)).

"It must not be forgotten that the Arab Higher Committee encouraged the refugees' flight from their homes in Jaffa, Haifa, and Jerusalem." (Broadcast by the Near East Arabic Broadcasting Station on April 3 1949 (Cyprus))

"The Arab exodus, initially at least, was encouraged by many Arab leaders, such as Haj Amin el Husseini, the exiled pro-Nazi Mufti of Jerusalem, and by the Arab Higher Committee for Palestine. They viewed the first wave of Arab setbacks as merely transitory. Let the Palestine Arabs flee into neighboring countries. It would serve to arouse the other Arab peoples to greater effort, and when the Arab invasion struck, the Palestinians could return to their homes and be compensated with the property of Jews driven into the sea." (Kenneth Bilby (an American journalist, covering the area before and

during the war), in his book 'New Star in the Near East', pp. 30-31

(New York 1950))

"We will smash the country with our guns and obliterate every place the Jews seek shelter in. The Arabs should conduct their wives and children to safe areas until the fighting has died down." (Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri Said, as quoted by Nimr el Hawari (the former Commander of the Palestine Arab Youth Organization) in his book 'Sir Am Nakbah' ("The Secret Behind the Disaster"), 1952 (Nazareth))

"This wholesale exodus was due partly to the belief of the Arabs, encouraged by the boasting of an unrealistic Arab press and the irresponsible utterances of some of the Arab leaders that it could be only a matter of some weeks before the Jews were defeated by the armies of the Arab States and the Palestinian Arabs enabled to re-enter and retake possession of their country." (Edward Atiyah (Secretary of the Arab League Office in London), as quoted in 'The Arabs', p. 183 (London 1955)

"I do not want to impugn anybody but only to help the refugees. The fact that there are these refugees is the direct consequence of the action of the Arab States in opposing partition and the Jewish State. The Arab States agreed upon this policy unanimously and they must share in the solution of the problem." (Emil Ghoury (Secretary of the Arab Higher Committee), as quoted in the Daily Telegraph, September 6 1948 (Beirut))

"The Secretary General of the Arab League, Azzam Pasha, assured the Arab peoples that the occupation of Palestine and of Tel Aviv would be as simple as a military promenade... He pointed out that they were already on the frontiers and that all the millions the Jews had spent on land and economic development would be easy booty, for it would be a simple matter to throw Jews into the Mediterranean... Brotherly advice was given to the Arabs of Palestine to leave their land, homes, and property and to stay temporarily in neighboring fraternal states, lest the guns of the invading Arab armies mow them down." (Habib Issa, in the daily US-published Lebanese newspaper Al Hoda, June 8 1951 (New York))

"The Arab governments told us: get out so that we can get in. So we got out, but they did not get in." -- (a refugee, from the Jordanian daily newspaper Ad Difaa, September 6 1954)

JEWISH TERRORISM?

Common Palestinian opinion:

"The Jews conducted massacres of Qana, Sabra, and Shatella and other."

▲

BLAMED NO MATTER WHAT

Israel, the very nation mentioned more then any in the Bible, the very people that are the heart and means to carry the message and the Messiah, must be eliminated, destroyed, and replaced. Godly verses must be found to justify such "noble goals", and Israel must be exposed for every deed they do in order to justify the means. For that, we must put on trial the Jews whenever their is a death, a war, or even a housing project like Har Homa near Jerusalem. If they kill, we must ignore the motive, and only see the killing, if one of them in anger goes on a shooting rampage, we must accuse the whole nation, if they get fed up with terrorism and close the roads, we will accuse them of imprisoning the masses, and if they occupy their attackers, they are accused of tyranny, dictatorship, and given that status of an evil occupier. No matter what they do, they will be labeled only on their actions, but never the actions of their accusers.

Then there is another view, a view that Israel in order to be accepted needs to be sinless, and almost every Jew needs to be the pure Messiah, with no blemish. Their government must be perfect, we must not find a single flaw with every Jewish citezen a perfect example, they must never have an extremist group, they must never have any sick mad man with a happy trigger.

From the few groups in Israel we find an angry Rabbi Yaacov Perrin who says: "One million Arabs are not worth a Jewish fingernail" (NY Daily News, Feb. 28, 1994, p.6).", and when such people say such things we find every anti-Israel website post it.

Even Human Rights Watch groups join the masses of acusers, in one report they conclude: "the government of Israel shares blame for the state of human rights in the Gaza Strip and Jericho. Israel's still-considerable control over the lives of Palestinians in these areas entails significant obligations that Israel has failed to fulfill ... Since August, the Palestinian Authority has arrested hundreds of members of the political opposition with little semblance of due process: arrest warrants are the exception rather than the rule, and suspects have been held without charge for several days or longer without being brought before a judge." (Human Rights Watch, New York, February 12, 1995).

What Israel in reality did wrong was to put Arafat back in rule, but no matter what Israel is blamed for Arafat's doings.

If a flowchart of abuses were to be drawn, the arrows will always be pointing to Israel regardless if it was the Palestinian Authority that does it. The Sabra and Shatella Massacre in Lebanon was also blamed on Israel even thought it was carried out by the Lebanese and blamed on the Jew. You would rarely read condemnation for Arabs killing Arabs, even though Arabs killed hundreds of thousands of Arabs.

In summary of all the years of research, life, and experience I had on Israel being on both sides anti-Israel then pro-Israel, people and governments, to them no matter what Israel does, good or bad, Israel simply must be accused, found guilty, then replaced. To millions, Israel is a cancer, city rats, with one solution left. Through the ages many "final" solutions were made, yet the Jew and even Israel as a country, still survives against all odds. Yet the factories for final solutions still draw their plans as they did in the past.

In September 1999, an Israeli court convicted Uri Amit of belonging to and supporting a terrorist organization. The ruling declared that the Noar Meir youth group, named after Kach founder Meir Kahane, is affiliated in fact and not just in name with the Kach organization. Specifically, Uri Amit was found to have distributed fliers that lauded the murder of Arabs and praised the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. Another flyer urged people to contribute to the "Baruch Goldstein Fund" to honor the settler who massacred 29 Muslim worshipers in Hebron in 1994. According to Judge Hanoch Feder, "It appears that what characterizes Kahane Chai and Noar Meir is violence as an ideology, at times as a religious commandment.".

In July 1999, three Israeli soldiers were expelled from the Israeli army for affiliating or sympathizing with the Kach and Kahane Chai organizations.

The Institute points out that these groups were feared to be plotting the assassination of high-level Israeli politicians in the summer of 1998 following the murder of Jewish settlers in Hebron.

Ami Ayalon, head of Israel's General Security Service, indicated his concern by dissuading politicians from participating in public events given reports that radical elements may have tried to kill key figures in order to stop the peace process. Based on certain data collected by Israel's security services, a meeting convened by then-Prime Minister Netanyahu on August 28, 1998 determined that special precautions were needed to preempt assassination attempts on the Prime Minister, President Ezer Weizman, and then-Defense Minister Yitzhak Mordechai, among others.

On October 24, 1993, Kach and Kahane Chai set off two small bombs near the French embassy in Tel Aviv, saying the attack was carried out to protest PLO leader Yasir Arafat's visit to France and agreements he signed there.

Certain Jewish terrorest attacks like Yehida , the Khisas, Qazaza, and few others, are a spec when compared with hundreds of terrorest attacks by Arabs against Israelis including several wars of intended annihilation. No one argues that a Jewish terrorest killed 60 in Hebron's Abrahamic Mosque, Arabs need to keep in mind that this criminal act was condemned by Israelis and by the Israeli Government as well. One cannot blame a nation for a few outraged individuals who carry out acts of violence against Palestinians. The World has yet to hear the Arab nations condemn the terror carried on on the Jews from time immomorial by Muslim Arabs throughout the centuries.

Yet the bad treatment of Christians and Jews by muslims is suppressed in today's modern history and media as well. A book called "The Fall of Christianity" by Bat Peor showes hundreds of detailed well researched pages on the persecution done by Islam throughout history is an eye opener. To call the accidental death toll during Israeli bombings on Lebanon as "massacars", a term generally given to the rounding up of civilians and shooting them indiscriminately. No one can deny that 70 people died in Qana as Israel admitted that it was a mistake while trying to bomb terrorist areas, and while hundreds of websites condemning the incident, there are hardly any that talks of the hundreds of terrorist attacks that could really use the classification of "massacre".

The question should be, why Hizbullah and the rest of the Arab terrorest bases in Lebanon throughout their history, have intentionally based there camps in the middle of civilian populations? The we hear the outcry by the masses sceaming massacars?

Similar incidents as Qana happened during the Gulf War, yet the wolrd blamed Saddam Hussein not America for the outcome.

Whatever happened to all the Ketusha rockets that landed on targets like Keriat Shmona during many inceidents killing much more civilians then Qana? These targets were hit in the intention of killing civilians in order to terorrize the Jewish population. While the perpetrators admit their intention to kill civillians and none of these rockets were intended to hit Israeli armed facilities.

Why would the Arab masses keep refugee camps while Israelis always house there immigrants?

Why is the Al-Ibrahimi Mosque Massacre by some Jewish maniac blamed on every Jew in Israel? Why must a whole nation take the blame of a single mad man? Especially when similar incidents carried out by Arabs receive praises by the Arab masses? Arafat even names a street after a muderer, and every terorrest who killed Israelis and Americans are free on Palestinian streets.

Would someone blame all Americans if some nutt case open automatic fire on a McDonalds? This always happens in almost every country.

Where are all the erected websites that speak about the Hebron Massacre of Jews? Yet one push of the button on a Yahoo search on the Hebron Massacre of Jews by the Arabs and you get hundreds of issues on the Hebron Massacres of Palestinians on the Ibrahimi Mosque. Why? And that massacre was not conducted by one nutt case, but by the Arab masses of Hebron, attacking, looting, raping, and indiscriminate killing of every Jew in Hebron. Once the table is turned around, the image is quite different.

Sabra and Shatila, is another massacre blamed on the Jews while little is said about the Lebaneese Kataeb and Ahrar who carried it out. The massacre was a result of the Civil War in Lebanon between Lebaneese and Palestinians where Lebaneese militia rounded up Palestinian refugees and indiscrimenatley killed them. Since the Jews did not come to the rescue of these Palestinians, the Jew must take the blame.

The Al-Aqsa Mosque incident was another tragedy started by Arab rioters throwing heaps of stones down on the Jewish worshipers on the Wailing Wall, the result was the death of about 20 Palestinians as the Israeli Police opened fire on the rioters.

These tregedies have always been a result of hate and war.

DAYR YASEEN – A HISTORY OF A LIE

Common Palestinian's opinion:

"Israel killed 250 people at Dayr Yassin in cold blood - of them 25 pregnant women were bayoneted in the abdomen while still alive and 52 children were maimed under the eyes of their own mothers, and they were slain and their heads cut off."

A Palestinian activist opinion:

"254 Arabs died at Deir Yassin." (Daniel McGowan of Hobart and William Smith Colleges, NY)

"an estimated 100-250 Arab villagers were slaughtered." (Daniel McGowan, Press release, March 22, 1998).

"over 100 Palestinian men, women and children were killed." (Daniel McGowan, Press release, March 25, 1998).

While the numbers decline, Beir Zeit, a Palestinian University who interviewed every Arab survivor admitted that the number was 110. The story has been exaggerated and conflicting testimonies cloud the whole story, but the best study on this issue is "The history of the 1948 war" by Professor Uri Milstein, one of Israel's most distinguished military historians, it's meticulous, very detailed and accurate.

Also, in 1952 a hearing was conducted in Israel which Israeli judges heard eyewitness testimony from participants in the events at Deir Yassin and issued a ruling that has important implications for understanding what happened in that battle. The question that should be asked is, how often did the Arabs ever issue any ruling, any court, any hearing for any of the countless massacars of Jews in any Arab country?

Long before Dayr Yassin, Arab and Jewish armies were already battling. An "Arab Liberation Army," sponsored by the Arab League and manned by volunteers from various Arab countries has always attacked civilian Jewish communities in Palestine prior to 1948. My own father has witnessed Arab villagers along with Arab soldiers raid Jewish Communities. Even the religious leader Haj Al-Ameen El-Husseni who collaborated with Hitler and had SS trained graduates to fight against these Jewish communities, some of which were found among the corpse of dead Palestinian fighters at Dayr Yasin with SS identifications.

The facts are, every Arab village in Israel participated in attacking Jewish settlements in order to destroy the Jews. The Arab attackers faced consequences of there actions, raids on civilians and wars will always have repercussions.

Deir Yassin was a heavily-armed nest of terrorists who in 1947-1948 had been attacking nearby Jewish neighborhoods and traffic on the Jerusalem-Tel Aviv highway.

Mordechai Ra'anan, leader of the Jewish soldiers who fought in Deir Yassin invented the number '254' as a deliberate exaggeration in order to undermine the morale of the Arab forces and no body count was conducted to tally the dead.

Despite Ra'anan's admission, the figure 254 was circulated by Palestinian Arab leader Hussein Khalidi which was the basis for a widely re-printed article in the New York Times which was refered to in the past generations.

Tally of Jewish losses revealed 42 Israeli wounded and 6 dead out of an attacking force of 132 soldiers. One of the commanders of the Jewish force, Ben Zion Cohen, describes "[The Arabs were] shooting from every house".

While the Jewish attackers with loud speakers warned in advance to 'Lay down your arms! Run for your lives" the Arabs fired at the vehicle and the battle erupted.

Also, claims of rape and other atrocities were fabricated to incite Arab violence against Israel. Arab eyewitnesses interviewed in a PBS documentary reveal that they were told by Dr. Hussein Khalidi, a prominent Palestinian Arab leader, to fabricate claims of atrocities at Deir Yassin in order to encourage Arab regimes to invade the Jewish state-to-be.

Deir Yassin resident Abu Mahmoud recalls: "We gathered in Jerusalem at the Hebron Gate. We checked who was missing, and who had survived. Then the Pal leaders arrived, including Dr. Khalidi."

Hazem Nusseibeh, an editor of the Palestine Broadcasting Service's Arabic news in 1948 and a member of one of Jerusalem's most prominent Arab families admited that he was told by Hussein Khalidi the originator of the massacre story to fabricate claims of atrocities in order to encourage Arab regimes to invade the Jewish state-to-be.

According to a Jerusalem Report, Nusseibeh "describes an encounter at the Jaffa Gate of Jerusalem's Old City with Deir Yassin survivors and Palestinian leaders, including Hussein Khalidi... 'I asked Dr. Khalidi how we should cover the story,' recalled Nusseibeh. 'He said, "We must make the most of this." So we wrote a press release stating that at Deir Yassin children were murdered, pregnant women were raped. All sorts of atrocities.'"

Abu Mahmud a survivor declared: "'We said, "There was no rape." [Khalidi] said, "We have to say this, so the Arab armies will come to liberate Palestine from the Jews.'"

The PBS narrator then says: "Arab radio stations passed on the false reports, ignoring the protests of the witnesses."

Lately, a prominent syndicated columnist from New York called the "massacre" claims as "one of the great hoaxes of the 20th century."

Syndicated columnist famous reporter Sid Zion, whose column originates in the New York Daily News wrote on March 23, 1998:

"Deir Yassin has ever since been the rallying call for the Arabs and the enemies of Israel and of the Jewish people. Arafat compares it to Auschwitz. It is one of the great hoaxes of the 20th century, comparable to the libel that Jews drank Christian blood...The fight for Deir Yassin was part of the war and a necessary battle for Jewish survival. The Irgun, under Menachem Begin, warned the Arabs and asked them to evacuate their women and children. Hundreds left, but hundreds stayed. A pitched battle ensued, and when the smoke cleared, 120 Arabs were killed, 40 Jews were seriously injured and four Jews were dead...[The 'massacre' claim] has long since been discredited by the Israeli government and every other historical study. But like all libels, it stands off truth and proof."

In conclusions the Palestinian Arabs left voluntarily, overreacting to their own leaders' fabricated atrocity reports. They were not expelled, as Arab propagandists claim.

There is always abuses and losses when there is a war, but as far as what I witnessed in the 6 days war and afterwards, the Jews did no harm to us. The Jews did no massacres on the West Bank and in general behaved righteously, I know what I have seen. It is our hate to the Jewish presence that fueled wars and attacks.

DIVIDING ISRAEL - THEOLOGICAL OR POLITICAL ISSUE?

A common Palestinian theological argument:

"Palestine is for the Arabs, Jesus was Palestinian, so Palestine belongs to us".

"The Bible does not mention an exclusive Jewish state".

Let's look at the issue in reverse perspective, for the End Times Clear verses of scripture state:

"For behold, in those days and at that time, when I bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations, and bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will enter into judgment with them there on account of My people, My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations; they have also divided up My land.". (Joel 3)

The end of Israel's mock trials are presented in these clear predictions. God the just and great judge does not heed to the majority, but comes to save a very small minority. The focus on a piece of land a fraction of a percent of all lands in this glob, and the strangest part is that it speaks of God coming to judge the world over this small people, and over this tiny piece of real estate. Strange indeed, to the point that we dismiss them and re-interpret them. How is it that when this judgment is made, Israel will be in her land? Why is it that much material is written dismissing Bible Prophecy of Israel as being fulfilled already way in the past before Jesus came? Could it be that this the only way to cover these prophecies by shuffling the timeline of these events?

Also in Joel 3, the "In those days" obviously refers to the verses before it in chapter 2:30 of Joel:

"And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke" to be judgment day were all havoc breaks loose. How is Israel there at that time way in the future? There must be a regathering and a division of land prior to judgment day, is there any other interpretation?

▲

DIVIDING ISRAEL - WHAT THE 'NATIONS' ARE DOING

The division is taking place, all the world are in support of the division and all United Nations are standing against Israel pressuring her to give up Judea. Joel's declaration of judgment to the nations is on it's way. The Bible suggests strongly that we don't be found guilty of hating Israel or Jews, or contributing to the division of Israel. To simply interpret this verse without prejudice is: to hate Jews is to hate God, and to stand against Israel is to be on the side of Anti-Christ. Anyone who would question Joel's prophecy must answer to the amazing accuracy of the portions that were fulfilled, and in light of countless other verses by other prophets.

Despite all the warnings, the nations (United Nations) are carrying out the evil plan as predicted.

Morris B. Abram, Chairman of the United Nations Watch writes:

"Emergency Special Sessions of the United Nations General Assembly are rare. No such session has ever been convened with respect to the Chinese occupation of Tibet, the Indonesian occupation of East Timor, the Syrian occupation of Lebanon, the slaughters in Rwanda, the disappearances in Zaire or the horrors of Bosnia. In fact, during the last 15 years they have been called only to condemn Israel.".

In April 1997's "emergency special session" of the United Nations General Assembly, which condemned Israel's construction of a new Jewish neighborhood in Jerusalem, has raised a number of questions about the world body's function and bias.

The session was called under the "Uniting for peace" resolution adopted by the General Assembly in 1950, a formula enabling members "to act in a case where there appears to be a threat to the peace, breach of the peace or act of aggression". The formula has only been used 10 times since 1950 where 93 member states felt that building apartments in Jerusalem could be seen as a breech of the Peace Accord.

While Israel's construction of homes in Jerusalem is not a violation of the Oslo Accords since no changing in status of territory has been broken. In light of this, it needs to be noted that Palestinian Authority receives monetary support from Israel. The question should be as to why the United Nations is so alarmed over a housing unit project when tens of thousands of refugees in central Africa faced death by starvation or disease as civil war raged in Zaire, hundreds of Algerians, including women and children, were being butchered by Islamists, enslavement of Christians in the Sudan continued, a German court implicated the Iranian regime in sponsoring terrorism abroad, new reports emerged of chemical weapons manufacture by several Mid-east states, the Irish Republican Army stepped up its bomb-threat campaign, Albanian anarchy persisted, the civil war and accompanying refugee crisis reached new proportions in Afghanistan, and the separatist struggle in China's Xinjiang province became ever more violent?

THE General Assembly resolution demanded the "immediate and full cessation" of construction at Har Homa, Jerusalem and urged all states to stop "all forms of assistance and support for illegal Israeli activities", notably in building settlements in disputed areas. It requested UN secretary-general Kofi Annan to report back within two months on whether Israel has stopped the work in Jerusalem.

One hundred and thirty-four nations supported the resolution, three opposed it - Israel, the US, and the tiny Pacific island federation of Micronesia while 11 abstained - Germany, Australia, Canada, Latvia, Liberia, Lithuania, Marshall Islands, Norway, Romania, Rwanda and Uruguay.

All this despite the fact that Yasir Arafat's Palestinian Authority has financed the illegal construction of thousands of Arab homes in the Old City section of Jerusalem and that "Faisal Husseini, Arafat's cabinet ministers, announced that Saudi Arabia has donated $19-million "to build 600 Arab homes in Jerusalem and strengthen their hold over parts of the city." (Jerusalem Post, June 24, 1997).

Last year, Aharon Domb, the Secretary General of the Council of Jewish Communities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza, released photographs, video surveillance, and maps showing during June-December 1996, Palestinian Arabs had built more than 1,000 illegal buildings in "Area C," which is the area that is under Israeli control in the administered territories. (Ha'aretz, Jan. 7, 1997)

The Bible is very clear on this issue, "I am about to make Jerusalem a cup of reeling to all the peoples round about; it will be against Judah, also in the siege against Jerusalem." (Zechariah 12:2).

Jerusalem is the only city in the world that could cause an uproar over a housing project, yet as the Bible predicted today it is indeed a burdensome stone to the world.

"On that day I will make the clans of Judah like a blazing pot in the midst of wood, like a flaming torch among sheaves; and they shall devour to the right and to the left all the peoples round about, while Jerusalem shall still be inhabited in its place, in Jerusalem." (Zechariah 12:6).

Yet Jerusalem shall remain inhabited !
