CRASH COURSE ON THE ARAB-ISRAELI CONFLICT

Here are some conveniently overlooked facts in the current Middle East
situation. These were compiled by a Christian university professor.
Takes
just 1.5 minutes to read!!! It makes sense and it's not slanted. Jew
and
non-Jew, it doesn't matter.

1. Nationhood and Jerusalem. Israel became a nation in 1312 B.C.E., two
thousand years before the rise of Islam.
2. Arab refugees in Israel began identifying themselves as part of a
Palestinian people in 1967, two decades after the establishment of the
modern
State of Israel.
3. Since the Jewish conquest in 1272 B.C.E. the Jews have had dominion
over
the land for one thousand years with a continuous presence in the land
for
the past 3,300 years.
4. The only Arab dominion since the conquest in 635 C.E. lasted no more
than
22 years.
5. For over 3,300 years, Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital.
Jerusalem
has never been the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. Even when the
Jordanians occupied Jerusalem, they never sought to make it their
capital,
and Arab leaders did not come to visit.
6. Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in Tanach, the Jewish Holy
Scriptures. Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the Koran.
7. King David founded the city of Jerusalem. Mohammed never came to
Jerusalem.
8. Jews pray facing Jerusalem. Muslims pray with their backs toward
Jerusalem.
9. Arab and Jewish Refugees: In 1948 the Arab refugees were encouraged to

leave Israel by Arab leaders promising to purge the land of Jews.
Sixty-eight percent left without ever seeing an Israeli soldier.
10. The Jewish refugees were forced to flee from Arab lands due to Arab
brutality, persecution and pogroms.
11. The number of Arab refugees who left Israel in 1948 is estimated to
be
around 630,000. The number of Jewish refugees from Arab lands is
estimated
to be the same.
12. Arab refugees were INTENTIONALLY not absorbed or integrated into the
Arab
lands to which they fled, despite the vast Arab territory. Out of the
100,000,000 refugees since World War II, theirs is the only refugee group
in
the world that has never been absorbed or integrated into their own
peoples'
lands. Jewish refugees were completely absorbed into Israel, a country no

larger than the state of New Jersey.
13. The Arab-Israeli Conflict: The Arabs are represented by eight
separate
nations, not including the Palestinians. There is only one Jewish nation.

The Arab nations initiated all five wars and lost. Israel defended
itself
each time and won.
14. The PLO's Charter still calls for the destruction of the State of
Israel.
Israel has given the Palestinians most of the West Bank land, autonomy
under
the Palestinian Authority, and has supplied them with weapons.
15. Under Jordanian rule, Jewish holy sites were desecrated and the Jews
were
denied access to places of worship. Under Israeli rule, all Muslim and
Christian sites have been preserved and made accessible to people of all
faiths.
16. The U.N. Record on Israel and the Arabs: of the 175 Security Council
resolutions passed before 1990, 97 were directed against Israel.
17. Of the 690 General Assembly resolutions voted on before 1990, 429
were
directed against Israel.
18. The U.N. was silent while 58 Jerusalem Synagogues were destroyed by
the
Jordanians.
19. The U.N. was silent while the Jordanians systematically desecrated
the
ancient Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives.
20. The U.N. was silent while the Jordanians enforced an apartheid-like
policy of preventing Jews from visiting the Temple Mount and the Western
Wall.

These are incredible times. We have to ask what our role should be.
What
will we tell our grandchildren we did when there was a turning point in
Jewish destiny, an opportunity to make a difference?

START NOW!! Send this to 20 other people you know and ask them to send
it to
twenty others, Jew and non-Jew -- it doesn't really matter. The truth
and
the cause of peace are universal values we all share, and everyone must
know.
Thank You.
