The Continuing Rewriting of History

One of the "root causes", if not the main cause, of the Arab-Israeli conflict is the continued Arab rejection of a Jewish State in the Middle East. But, after defeats in 5 wars, they have come to realize that militarily destroying Israel is simply not possible. So, they have gone a different route - delegitimizing Israel. This has been accomplished by a propaganda campaign that has been particularly effective in Europe, which has wanted to be convinced of Jewish guilt in order to wash away its own actions during World War II, and cleanse itself of their responsibility for the Holocaust. Even more effectively, Arab leaders have been able, through their government's total control of information, to create generations of citizens who are hostile (to put it nicely) to Israel and Jews. For this campaign of delegitimization, the Arab world has rewritten not merely recent history, but virtually all history of the region. This article, as well as the Palestinian Media Watch, points out the depths to which they have gone to deny any Jewish connection to Israel.

So, next time you get the "crazy idea" that just maybe Israel can make peace with the Palestinians, or that the Islamic world is ready to live in peace with the rest of the world, knock that revisionist baloney right out of your head. They're having a psychotic episode, gripped in mass insanity.

And, if Jesus ever comes back, Arafat will portray the Nazarene as a Palestinian "Shaheed" (martyr) who the Israeli occupation has killed - as Yasser Arafat has stated on numerous occasions. You'll hear it first on Palestinian Authority TV.
