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 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.
