Facts vs fiction

Fact: The United States never has placed its embassy in Jerusalem despite the fact that the capital of Israel is in Jerusalem.

All of this flows from the fact that the West is intimidated by the Arab world.Only the Arab world is not intimidated by the West.They can say anything outrageous (eg. the Syrian officials who discuss matter of factly that Israel went into Haiti to collect human organs and body parts to sell around the world or that Israel carried out the events of 9/11) and do anything they want without jeopardizing their status.


2.Israel never harmed the Al Aksa Mosque and immediately after the Six Day War proclaimed unanimously in the Knesset that all the holy places will be respected and have done so...but have been blamed for being the occupiers....yet the Jordanians destroyed the Jewish quarter and the Hurva synagogue, desecrated the Har Zetim Cemetery and put a hotel on top of graves. Grave stones were used as sidewalks, and
sacred places of the Jews have been destroyed again and again.The biblical origin of Hebron is denied and Israel is delegitimized.The Wakf under the PA has destroyed all the archeological evidence of the Jewish temple under the Al Aksa mosque. The world stood by in silence.

The Palestinian leadership, in my humble opinion, never intend to have a to state solution.They believe time is on their side and Obama is unaware of how he is playing into their hand which will work to further delegitimze Israel. The case of the 1600 housing units benefits the PA only, unless Obama and friends recognize that the background situation in the PA and Hamas is the real problem.

A0 Israel has swung from the Left to the Right and back again, and back again, and no Israeli govt. has been acceptable to the Palestinians or the Arabs or the Muslim world. Land swaps have been offered, normal relations have been offered, peace dividends of business opportunities have been offered, but each has been rejected.

Jews were kicked out of Muslim countries, no one complained about the mistreatment of the Jews. Only the Palestinian refugees in refugee camps controlled by Jordan and Egypt raised a moral outcry against Israel! How much money have the Palestinians received to help their "poor" refugee brothers? How much has gone to benefit the poor of Gaza or the West Bank? Yet the Jews are blamed for their mistreatment.

Why was the Wall of separation built? To create an Apartheid state? Or to keep out suicide bombers? Yet, the Jews are blamed for creating an A=
partheid state. Let's keep our sanity even if the world doesn't see it this way.
