There is an avalanche of ignorance within the West concerning the state of Israel, particularly from the so called main stream media which appears at best uninterested, and at worst, blatantly partisan against Israel without any hint of balance whatsoever to the fundamental issues that has kept the Middle East in a state of anxiety, terrorism and war readiness for over six decades. In this regard, Israel is on the front line against the Islamic Jihad which the West, through its myopic view of history, seems to be totally ignorant of.
.
The main issue, that is, Islamic intolerance for the infidel and the Jew, has driven a wedge between Israel and its Islamic neighbors and is poorly understood by the so called 'Western intelligentsia' that are supposed to be learned people. However, the level of knowledge of those who would be called 'intelligentsia' is little more than parrotted bias learned in the halls of Socialist educational facilities such as that which now passes for the Western university of today. Some left wing academics, journalists and politicians who, when feeling compelled to write, lecture or make policy about Middle Eastern issues, should at the very least have a basic understanding of how the ideology of Islamic fundamentalism affects the stability of the Middle East, and not be persuaded to present politically correct, or leftwing biased views as opposed to a more balanced picture.
.
Here are some facts regarding those issues that should be of paramount importance to those who believe they are more able than others to make policy and persuade those less informed on such issues:
.
1. Israel came into existence as a nation on May 14, 1948, by a United Nations Act. In effect, the state of Israel was being returned to the rightful owners who had been dispossessed of their land in AD 70 by the Romans. All Arabs that were displaced by the formation of this new nation were guaranteed accommodation within Israel. Those Arabs who accepted this offer now have their descendants living there. The United Nations offered land to other Arabs who refused to stay in Israel which was rejected by a Cabal of Arab leaders that determined instead to attack Israel the very first day after receiving its nationhood. That attack became the first Arab-Israeli war.
.
2. Prior to the formation of the nation of Israel, there was no nationality at that time being refered to as 'Palestinian.' Inhabitants of Palestine at that time were either Arabs or Jews without nationality as there was no recognized state by any of the major powers. The term 'Palestinian' can be traced back to the formation of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) which was an Arab front for gaining recognition and legitimacy within the West as a political arm of the PLO, which in reality was nothing more than a terrorist organization with a charter to annihilate the state of Israel, and one that really came into its own by initiating lethal terrorist attacks which targetted selected European and Israeli interests. The PLO model of terrorism tactics has also been employed by current Islamic terrorist organizations that have since 9/11, spread world wide with a view to overthrow the West and instal a world wide Islamic caliphate under Sha'ria Law.
.
3. There are direct links to todays Islamic terrorism with that of the PLO and its many acts of atrocities carried out against Western and Israeli targets which are being totally ignored by our cowardly Western governments. What occurs now world wide in Islamic terror attacks is a continuation of an ancient war that Islam has been waging ever since its inception in the 7th Century. This is a pre-ordained war ascribed by Mohammed against the infidel which has since been continually fought against the unbeliever in every corner of the Globe. This fact is fundamental to understanding what it is that drives Islamic thinking and the thousands of Islamic terrorists acts that have been carried out since 9/11, yet this root cause of worldwide terrorism is completely ignored by those who are in a position to act on it, and should act on it. I guess this lack of intestinal fortitude by our current crop of politicians in the face of an obvious enemy that is against everything we in the West are supposed to hold dear, and to stand for, is a graphic example of how the West is now directed by moral cowards!
.
4. Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East. All its neighbors are either ruled by Monarchies or Dictators. The liberal left like to champion social democracy except when the championing of such ideals includes the state of Israel. The hypocricy and dishonesty of the liberal left is simply astounding!
.
5. Israeli's enjoy a standard of living comparable to any Western nation while most of its neighbors citizenry languish in poverty, illiteracy and squalor. Insh'allah is a powerful word, and I would advise you the reader to look up this Arabic word as its utterance on a daily basis by some of the most destitute people in the world speaks very loudly as to the mindset of those Muslims who are affected by the dominance of Islam.
.
6. Israel has a population of some seven million Jews and Arabs. In comparison, Jews are not permitted to live in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, or Syria. These four Islamic nations surround Israel on the land side and have a combined population of around 103 million. Israel truly is the underdog that finds itself in a situation that one could liken to the battle between David and Goliath.
.
7. Hamas, which governs Gaza, has a charter that determines to eradicate the state of Israel and all who live in it. In comparison, Israeli's just want peace and provide all kinds of humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza who only give bullets and bombs in return!
.
8. The so called 'Palestinians' have been offered their own state on at least three occasions by the United Nations and American presidents, but all offers have been rejected! Why? Because only total eradication of the state of Israel and the genocide of 7 million Jews will satisfy the Arabs.
.
Israel does not have many friends in this world, and those who call themselves friends, at times, can be very fickle about the relationship. For example; the current American president, although not uttering words to the effect, has sanctioned many actions against Israel which any attentive person would immediately identify as anti-semitic in nature. To bow waist deep to the Saudi King but keep the Israeli Prime Minister waiting for 40 minutes in the White House while he went and had dinner without him, Obama's actions can only be seen for what they are, he is pro-Islam and anti-semitic. Yet not a peep from a very compliant socialist main stream media who in less politically correct and biased times would have exposed Obama's deep anti-semitism.
.
The history of Israel is one of a nation having to continually sleep with one eye open, not ever being able to trust any of its neighbors who would rather see them dead. What is it about 7 million Jews that 103 million Arabs and Egyptians would wish to kill? Why can't they leave 7 million Jews to live in peace and then get with on with their own lives?
.
Since their many defeats in war by tiny Israel, the Saudi's and other Arabs have been channeling billions of petro-dollars into the many Islamic terrorist cells spread throughout the world. They finance Mosques in all Western nations while refusing to have just one Christian Church or Synagogue erected within their own lands. They provide funds to Western universities under the 'diversity' of multiculturalism which is nothing more than a legal bribe with which to push the Islamic agenda of domination via stealthy infiltration of our educational, business and political establishments.
.
Israel is the thorn in the side of the Islamic beast that refuses to be dislodged. While Israel remains a viable democracy it will always be the enemy to Islam which issues much money and energy in trying to bring Israel down. The doctrine of Islam is a self perpetuating cause that must dominate all before it. Islam is a political/social system, akin more to an ideology with a smattering of religious dogma to justify its existence. Islam is not a religion as some would have us believe and in comparison to Christianity or Judaism, does not possess a defined moral code as its basis like the Ten Commandments has defined the Wests moral codes for millenia. Islam is for Muslims only, and its tenets justify the harsh treatment of the Jew and the infidel. There is no mercy, or tolerance for the non-Muslim in Islamic society ruled by the Sha'ria. Israel is on the front line of the worldwide Jihad that the main stream media have been hiding from us ever since the PLO established itself as the face of 'modern terrorism.'
.
It must therefore be an obligation on us, those who value what is left of our freedoms, to openly support the only democratic and viable culture in the Middle East, the state of Israel. Human decency demands it!
