Why Israel is Right, and Why the Arabs are Wrong
(A succinct statement of Vital issues and Data, about Israel, that most people, fed dumbed-down, boob tube news, don't know about)

PREFACE: I already placed the following essay on the “notes” section of substack. However, many people who have seen my posts on my newsletter do not see my substack notes. Hence, I am now placing this essay here:
…
The abundance of Anti Israeli propaganda on here is like a veritable cancerous metastasis of nazified fabrications. Just a few points to set the record straight:
When Hamas Terrorists invaded Israel on October 7, they did not merely kill Israelis. They drove nails into women’s vaginas. They beheaded babies. They unleashed their insatiable, titanic desire to murder Jews.
But, of course, your gang (This was initially written as a comment to a post) lies about everything:
1) You say that the Jews have been unwilling to negotiate, but it was Arafat who walked out of negotiations when Israel offered to give up 96 percent of the West Bank and Gaza.
2) You claim that Israel deprives Gazans of autonomy, but when Egypt ruled Gaza, from 48 to 67, your gang did not assert that Egypt was depriving Palestinians of self rule. Besides, Israel left Gaza in 2004, leaving behind factories so the Gazans could earn money
3) You claim that Israel should give up the West Bank, but if she did, she would be 9 miles thick at her point of greatest population concentration and subject to annihilation
4) The Palestinians are Arabs and as such they should be welcomed in all Arab states. The Arabs do not welcome them into their nations because they prefer to use them as a propaganda point situated on Israel’s borders. The Palestinians are not a separate nationality as they possess none of the indicia of nationhood:
a) There never was a Palestinian govt. ruled by Palestinians
b) There is No Palestinian language
c) There is no Palestinian religion
d) The name Palestine was coined by Emperor Titus to demolish the memory of Judea.
e) When Egypt Ruled gaza, and when Jordan ruled the west bank, you did NOT say that Egypt and Jordan were depriving the Palestinians of self-determination.
5) You claim that Israel was created thanks to Western Imperialism, but you forget:
a) Britain aided Egypt and Jordan during Israel’s war of independence
b) The United States did not sell any weapons to Israel before John F Kennedy became President
c) In her war of Independence, Israel was outnumbered 100 to 1, but Israel won. AM YISROEL CHAI
d) Britian did issue the Balfour declaration, but she did this simply to preempt feared Jewish Support for the Kaiser, in WW 1, which seemed imminent because of Jewish discord with the Tzar. And, after Britain issued Balfour, she immediately did everything she could to undermine the realization of a Jewish homeland as she severed everything East of the Jordan River from the proposed site of the Jewish state.
E) In 1939, when World War Two started, Britain limited Jewish Immigration to Israel to 15,000 per year for each of the next 5 years. She was a handmaiden to the Holocaust.
6) You claim that Israel displaced the Palestinians from their homes, but:
a) After Israel was born, one and a half million Jews were evicted from Arab nations. So if the Arabs get a piece of Israel, we should get a big chunk of Iraq, etc.
b) About 45 percent of today’s Palestinians are descendants of Arabs who migrated there in the 19th century, which was the onset of modern Zionism
c) There has been a Jewish majority in Jerusalem since the middle of the 19th century
d) Mandatory Palestine initially was composed of: Israel, the West Bank and Jordan. (The land mass of Jordan is about 3 times as spacious as the land mass of Israel) In 1920, this landmass was 40 percent Jewish. If one wanted to draw a boundary between a Jewish State and an Arab State it would have been EAST OF THE JORDAN RIVER, NOT WEST OF THE JORDAN RIVER. (See “The Rape of Palestine” 1947)
There’s so much more, but why should I waste my breath. Your gang simply wants to murder Jews
This is a reminder of my childhood. It's why I don't offer my opinion on any of it. People of this generation simply don't have a clue as to the history of the area--and they don't want to learn about it. The one thing the Arabs want to do, is destroy Israel. That's it! They always have. Damn it, those Jews though...they are a resilient lot. I remember Arafat and how much he hated Israel. They ALL hated Israel, and swore that they'd destroy it. And then Israel stood up like David facing Goliath, and that's all she wrote. When Sadat offered peace and Israel accepted, the Arabs killed Sadat. Yes, Israel is right, and still, the world blames them for defending themselves? If they didn't, the Arab world would swoop down and wipe them out. Would the world condemn them for it, or say, yeah, but they had it coming. I might not say much, but I'll never support the Arabs. I'm sorry there's been such senseless killing, but it's always been senseless...and it will probably never stop. When this is over, they'll go back to the drawing board and do it again in another twenty or thirty years.
I doubt the assertion in 6. d. Of the population of Mandatory Palestine as 40% Jewish. The census of 1922 showed about 78% Muslim, 11% Jewish, 9.5% Christian. https://www.cjpme.org/fs_007
