By 1948, the Arabs had still not yet discovered their ancient nation of Falastin. When they were offered half of Palestine west of the Jordan River for a state, the offer was violently rejected. Six Arab states launched a war of annihilation against the nascent State of Israel. Their purpose was not to establish an independent Falastin. Their aim was to partition western Palestine amongst themselves.

A single-minded focus on condemning Israels status as a Jewish state, when many other countries also have a national religion or ethnic identity, is hypocritical. But there is yet another form of hypocrisy connected with the Jewish state issue: rejecting Israel’s Jewish nature while claiming to favor a two state solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict.

Barack Obama Speech Jun 09Observer(1 year 5 days ago)
The United States does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements. This construction violates previous agreements and undermines efforts to achieve peace. It is time for these settlements to stop. Israel must also live up to its obligations to ensure that Palestinians can develop their society. Israel must take concrete steps to enable such progress. America will not turn our backs on the legitimate Palestinian aspiration for dignity, opportunity, and a State of their own.

The Palestinian Authority has intentionally mobilized Palestinian children to man the front line in its struggle against Israel, frequently using them as shields to protect Palestinian gunmen. This mobilization of Palestinian youth has, moreover, been facilitated by the long-term impact of Palestinian Authority (PA) curricula, government-controlle d media, and summer camp programs, which indoctrinated the youth for armed confrontation with Israel even prior to the current crisis.
Israel faces expulsion from UNObserver(1 year 11 days ago)
Google May 11 2009 UN Secretary General Speech. Israel is in violation of its terms of admission, it is not a member in good standing, so the UN has every right to declare Resolution 273 null and void. Since Israels membership depends on adherence to that resolution, its expulsion is automatic. After Operation Cast Lead no person, no country, no democracy can look at Israel without thinking of the inhuman slaughter and destruction committed by the axis powers (Germany, Japan) in World War II.

Zionism, the national movement for the return of the Jewish people to their homeland and the resumption of Jewish sovereignty in the Land of Israel, advocated, from its inception, tangible as well as spiritual aims. Jews of all persuasions, left and right, religious and secular, joined to form the Zionist movement and worked together toward these goals. Disagreements led to rifts, but ultimately, the common goal of a Jewish state in its ancient homeland was attained.

Myths and Facts: A Guide to the Arab-Israeli Conflict, a great book by Mitchell G. Bard. This book is excellent in many ways. It is easy to read and reference, and does a good job shattering many myths that have, over generations, cast Israel in an unfair light.
