-Caveat Lector-
I'm probably a tad biased in these regards, but it seems there
have been a few more warped pro PA posts than warped pro Israeli
ones, so, here's a little warped thing I found to keep the slate
somewhat even, Bill S. ;-)

Crash Course in Middle East History
Nationhood and Jerusalem
* Israel became a nation in 1312 B.C.E., two thousand years
before the rise of Islam.
* 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.
* 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.
* The only Arab dominion since the conquest in 635 C.E. lasted no
more than 22 years.
* 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 even
come to visit.
* Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in Tanach, the Jewish
Holy Scriptures. Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the Koran.
* King David founded the city of Jerusalem. Mohammed never came
to Jerusalem.
* Jews pray facing Jerusalem. Muslims pray with their backs
toward Jerusalem.
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. The Jewish
refugees were forced to flee from Arab lands due to Arab
brutality, persecution and pogroms.
* 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.
* 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.
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.
* The P.L.O.'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.
* 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.
The U.N. Record on Israel and the Arabs
* Of the 175 Security Council resolutions passed before 1990, 97
were directed against Israel.
* Of the 690 General Assembly resolutions voted on before 1990,
429 were directed against Israel.
* The U.N was silent while 58 Jerusalem Synagogues were destroyed
by the Jordanians.
* The U.N. was silent while the Jordanians systematically
desecrated the ancient Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives.
* 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.
