Palestinians and Settlements: Two Lies Fueling The Islamic Intifada, Part 1  (16 October 2015)


"As the Palestinian Authority leader Abbas (Fatah) gave his surreptitious directive to his hordes, from the podium at the UN... and innocent Israelis became victims... it became imperative to end the current crop of lies being perpetuated by the Western media. There are so many lies to choose from., but let's deal with just two:..."

 

Palestinians Murder Father and Mother in Front of Their 4 Young Children  (03 October 2015)

From Paradise to Pain  (02 October 2015)


"Eitam and Na'ama Henkin never lived to see their children grown, will never see them marry. They will never know their grandchildren, never know the blessing of great-grandchildren. ... Hamas has praised the attack, calls the murderers 'heroic'.  Heroic?  This was a family travelling in their car. Cold-blooded murder is not heroic and sickening is a culture or world that thinks it is. ... What value to this world is a God that craves death, destruction, murder? In the Jewish religion, it is not God, but Satan that values this darkness..."

 

The Palestinians' Real Enemy: Europe  (28 December 2014)


"[I]f we are forced by Europe to have this corrupt dictatorship called Palestine, terrorist groups such as Hamas, Al-Qaeda, Islamic Jihad, and ISIS will flood the West Bank in less than [a] week, and our lives will be even worse than what we have now. We simply do not know what else to do to defend ourselves from these 'Goodists' of Europe. The Palestinian leadership, which represses people rather than confers with them, would of course deny all this to the European diplomats..."

 

Palestinians Attempt to Co-Opt Jewish History  (26 December 2014)


"Regarding the Palestinians; 'Remember there was no Palestine as a state. It was part of the Ottoman Empire. And I think that we've had an invented Palestinian people, who are in fact Arabs, and were historically part of the Arab community...'  That comment set off a firestorm of debate and criticism but is in actuality, grounded in historical fact..."

 

Why Do 80% of Palestinians Support Murder?  (24 December 2014)

 

"In most parts of the world, it's not easy to find a major issue on which 80% of the population agrees. An election victory in the United States is considered a 'landslide' if the winner receives more than about 60% of the vote. ... But among Palestinian Arabs in Judea-Samarian (the West Bank) and Gaza, it turns out there is one issue on which there is more support than any other: randomly murdering Israeli Jews..."

Israel Repeatedly Failed to Say 'No' When Conscience Demanded It  (14 July 2014)


"The Koran compares Jews to monkeys and apes. The Arab population of Gaza, in a free and democratic election certified as fair by Jimmy Carter, selected Hamas to be their representatives and voice. The Arab population of Judea and Samaria are comfortable being led by two terrorist movements..."

 

Eerily Deja Vu  (10 July 2014)


"[This] is an op-ed I wrote in 1990, right after the murder in Rishon Lezion of seven Arab itinerant laborers by Ami Popper (who's still doing life and who unlike homicidal Arabs hasn't been released to ransom hostages or to win a presumed peace-partner's goodwill). Have a read ... it could well have been written today:..."

 

There Is No Moral Equivalence  (09 July 2014)


"We have all been traumatized by the events of the past month. No sooner had we absorbed the shocking tragedy of the brutal abduction and murder of three teenagers and been humbled by the exceptional dignity if their anguished parents, we were stunned to learn of the barbaric murder of an Arab youngster, apparently by Jews..."

 

Violence in Israel at Highest Level Since Intifada  (07 July 2014)


"While the brutal deaths of three Jewish teens and a 15-year-old Palestinian Arab are tragic, the reaction of mainstream Israelis and lawmakers versus that in Palestinian society is as different as night and day. Palestinians were celebrating the kidnapping of the Israeli teens, while Israelis were calling for the arrest of anyone, Jew or Arab, who commits violence against innocent civilians. ... Asked whether they saw any difference between innocent schoolchildren being held captive and violent terrorists with blood on their hands, [Palestinian human-rights activist ... Bassem Eid] acknowledged that indeed [Palestinians] did not differentiate between them..."

 

Fed Up With Dead Jews  (06 July 2014)

An Eye For An Eye Leads to Blindness  (04 July 2014)

The Truth Behind the Palestinian Water Libels  (24 February 2014)

 

"A significant public debate has been sparked by the assertion of European parliament President Martin Schulz that the amount of water available to the average Israeli unfairly overwhelms the amount of water available to the average Palestinian. The main issue that should be discussed - and has not been sufficiently analyzed - is: What are the causes of the Palestinian water supply problems?..."

Palestinian Reformist: The Islamization of the Palestinian Cause is an Obstacle to its Resolution  (26 October 2010)

 

"In an interview posted on the liberal Arab website Aafaq on October 4, 2010, Palestinian reformist Zainab Rashid said that the Arab dictatorial regimes exploit the Palestinian cause in order to divert attention from their own domestic problems and suppress initiatives of democratization and reform. She also opposed the Islamization of the Palestinian cause, saying the Palestinian issue will never be resolved as long as it is construed as a religious struggle destined to continue until Judgment Day. She argued that violence and extremism in the Arab and Islamic world stem from Islam's religious and legal texts, and called upon Arab intellectuals to renounce such texts, and to struggle for one supreme goal: 'the secularization of the state and of society – which is to say, complete separation of religion and state.' Following are excerpts from the interview..."

Who Needs a Palestinian State?  (18 May 2009)

How to Talk About Gaza  (06 September 2005 / Updated 07 Sept 2005)


"The Palestinians' assertion that Gush Katif is legally their land is simply untrue. Gaza has never been 'Palestinian land.' From 1948-1967 it was Egyptian-occupied territory. ... [F]rom 1922-1948, it was part of the League of Nations mandate to create a Jewish national home under the trusteeship of Great Britain. And for four centuries before the Mandate it was part of the Ottoman Empire..."

Palestinian People Do Not Exist  (27 July 2003)

 

"Palestine has never existed...as an autonomous entity.  There is no language known as Palestinian.  There is no distinct Palestinian culture.  There has never been a land known as Palestine governed by Palestinians.  Palestinians are Arabs, indistinguishable from Jordanians (another recent invention), Syrians, Lebanese, Iraqis, etc.  Keep in mind that the Arabs control 99.9% of the Middle East lands.  Israel represents one-tenth of 1% of the landmass.  But that's too much for the Arabs.  They want it all.  And that is ultimately what the fighting in Israel is about today...No matter how many land concessions the Israelis make, it will never be enough..."

 

"Palestine Is Our Land and the Jews Are Our Dogs"  (10 January 2003 / Revised 15 June 2003)

 

"Until last spring I held what people call a pro-Palestinian position. Like many intellectuals I had adopted Arafat's cause, taking what I believed was a principled stand that blamed Israel for the conflict in the Middle East, and especially for the suffering of the Palestinians. ... In April 2002, I noticed that media coverage of the fighting in Jenin was manifestly one sided (against Israel). I began to look into this and also into the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict..."

 

Is There Moral Equivalence Between Official Israeli and Palestinian Responses to Murders?  (No Date)


"What cultural climate has [each side] created, regarding the targeting of civilians?  /  How does [each side] react to murder of civilians on the other side?  /  Is [each side] willing to prosecute its own citizens, for murders against those of the other side?  /  How does [each side] react to rioting, in response to accusations of murder by the other side?"

 

Britain, Haj Husseini and the Arab Riots of 1920  (No Date)


In "[t]he spring of 1920 ... On the Wednesday before Easter, Col. Waters-Taylor had a meeting in Jerusalem with Haj Amin el Husseini and told him 'that he had a great opportunity at Easter to show the world that the Arabs of Palestine would not tolerate Jewish domination in Palestine; ...

"[Is it] 'understandable' that, in 1929, Arab mobs attempted to exterminate the Jews in British Mandate 'Palestine'? ... [Is it the case that] a population designated as the Arab Palestinian people, equipped with a 'national consciousness', was living in a place called 'Palestine' when Zionist Jews came to dispossess them..."
