The Truth About Israel.

Or,to be exact,the truth about the Israeli Government.

There is a huge amount of ignorance on this site when it some to the Israel-Palestine conflict.Too much belief in the propaganda spewed from the mouths of US and Israeli politicians and media groups.

The first thing everyone needs to know,Palestinians do not hate Jewish people,many Palestinians themselves are Jewish.They hate the fact that their homes and land has been stolen,the fact that they are still being killed,starved,persecuted etc,and the fact that no one seems to care.

Secondly,to those who think that past events are not important,how dumb are you! The actions and events of the past are the most important thing in this conflict.

Thirdly,for those who believe in the religious side of this conflict.God granted the land to the Hebrews/Jews.He also said that if they didn't keep his laws and commandments they would be taken from the land because they've forfeited all rights to it.Its in the Bible people,look it up!


There are 2 sites that I suggest everyone reads before they get into another debate about this topic,and they are of great value because they are unbiased.Maybe then you'll have a much clearer view of what is actually happening over there.Maybe then you'll stop this,'all Palestinians are animals,and all Muslims are evil' bulls**t!!

Deny Ignorance people! Its what this site is all about!


B'TSELEM.aka.The Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories.www.btselem.org...

This group was founded in 1989 and is run by Jewish Israeli's who are outraged at what the government has done,and continues to do,in their name.



IPCRI-Israel/Palestine Center for Research and Information.
www.ipcri.org...

Founded in 1988 and is run by Israeli's and Palestinians who believe that the solution to the problem is '2 states for 2 people.'

And for those who like to blame Iran for backing terrorists/freedom fighters such as Hamas.

As early as 1994, Palestinian scholar Ziad Abu Amr noted, "The widespread belief is that Hamas has received money [from] the governments of Saudi Arabia and some Gulf states," adding that such support is believed to have continued after the 1991 Gulf War to punish the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) for its support of Iraq after its invasion of Kuwait. In 1997, the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera cited unnamed Palestinian officials who complained, "Riyadh's help to Hamas has grown with the opening of new [financial] channels," and revealed that "over 140 billion lire [$37.32 million] has been collected in Saudi Arabia and the other oil monarchies." In September 2003, David Aufhauser, general counsel to the U.S. Department of the Treasury, said in congressional testimony that despite some success in curbing terror financing, "by no means have we crossed the bridge of the issue of terrorist financing emanating from Saudi Arabia." Aufhauser noted that not only is it donating to Hamas not a crime in Saudi Arabia, but Hamas raises "enormous amounts of money" during the month of the Hajj alone -- a period so lucrative for Hamas that it sends its political director to the Kingdom.

So,lets see.
bin Laden is from Saudi Arabia.
Most of the alleged terrorists of 9/11 were from Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia has more members of Al-Qaeda than any other country.
They fund people who attack Israel,and there's a belief they also help fund the Taliban.

And they're exempt from the wrath of the USA because........

You need to bring the Christian angle into this too.

Here in America, many churches teach that it is their moral duty to support the state of Israel, regardless of what they actually do, because they are God's chosen people, and they havea right to the land based on the texts of the Bible.

Some also weave a strange apocalyptic view into this, like allowing Israel to be destroyed will prevent Jesus from coming back.

It gets wierd, but you need to think of it in terms of many Americans having a religious holdup that supercedes all moral common sense.
