Howdy all,

Why is the logo/icon on presented in this web/blog shows many mics from the Arab press? Couldnt you get channel 10/2/ 1 mic icons?

Later,

The truth must be told to the world. Israel must defend itself form these attacks. This is comparable to the London bombings in WWII, yet the world perceives Israel as being the wrong. How can this be?

Dave, go study your history. Arab violence against Jews predates the modern State. There were riots against the Jews, and deaths of many Jews, without provocation by Arabs dating back to the early twentieth century and even earlier. It goes back to when Israel was called Palestine.

Since Israel was originally called Palestine, the Israelis are the original Palestinians. Todays usurpers of that title are descended from nomadic people that have been barred from permanent home in neighboring Arab countries by their Arab brothers.

So using your terms, Yes, Israel has a right to defend itself from terrorists.

Also in your history lesson, you will see that time and time again, the Arabs have been offered land. In the original proposal for the modern State of Israel, the Arabs were offered the larger portion. They turned it down because they wanted it all, without a modern Israel. That is part of the seed of the current strife.

Dave,
Arab violence against Jews has been going on long before there was an occupation, long before there was a refugee problem — indeed, long before there was a political Zionist movement. That does not mean it has to go on forever. No one is born a bigot. Indeed, all the Arab dictatorships spend a tremendous amount of effort on propaganda intended to foster and maintain anti-Jewish bigotry.

Dave, you sound like Neturei Karta. The truth is it is the world which holds Israel – and the Jews, mind you – to a higher standard. We just expect the so-called ‘palestinians’ to behave like normal people! As a Jew you should know that HaShem promised us this Land (when we should come back is a point of dissension among some Jews) but it is Eretz Yisrael nonetheless! And also as a Jew you should support your fellow Jews no matter where they live!! It is not the ‘occupation’ – it is our being here! Yes, I kknow you are going to say how everything was rosy when Jews and Arabs lived here together under Turkish rule! But you, my friend, are in the minority concerning our right to come back to our Homeland and establish a government. And, yes, I know you believe that the Land should be ruled by Torah laws. In that you are no different than most Muslims who want all Muslims to be ruled by Shari’a law. But, again, you are in the minority. Face the situation as it is today – Jews are being attacked for no other reason than they exist!! Are you going to be part of the problem or part of the solution??
