Terrorism

ISRAEL INFORMATION CENTER STAFF

The PLO and Hamas are terrorist organizations, Hamas listed as such by the US State Department.  While Israel has acted in self-defense and aimed at those firing at Israeli citizens or those who mastermind bombings, the PLO and Hamas have been busy targeting civilians. 

From June 1st to August 10th alone, reports the Jerusalem Post, 54 Jewish civilians have been murdered, and 7 soldiers killed.  In this same period, 57 Arabs were killed, most of them as they perpetrated violence.  Some blew themselves up killing Jews, and some in "work accidents", where bombs made to murder more Jewish citizens of Israel exploded prematurely.

Since the start of the "peace" accords, terrorism, murder of Jewish civilians by Hamas and the PLO have risen, not fallen.  This is not peace.   Any nation who has its civilian population being murdered in pizza shops, in discos, at bus stops, and driving to work has a right and obligation to defend its citizens.  It has a right and obligation to prevent attacks, if necessary by striking first at the terrorists.

Notable Quotes

Jews in Israel speaking Hebrew in 1939, amazing, you would have thought from what the Arabs have been saying that  Jews are all European and all came in the 20th century.  We have been there all along, in small numbers when the numbers of Arabs there were also small.  We never left and never ever gave up claim to our own land, a land that was never an independent nation  except when it was a Jewish nation.  Let the truth be known…

Jewish Presence in Israel:
"Since the Jewish conquest in 1272 B.C.E., the Jews have had dominion over this land for 1,000 years, with a continuous presence in the land for the past 3,300 years."
- Yaffah daCosta, How Much More?

So much for the Jewish people being newcomers to the land.  We have, as I have stated before, never left.

Jewish Genetics:
"The findings were that most Jewish
                                      communities -- long separated from

one another in Europe, North Africa, the Near East and the Arabian Peninsula -- do indeed seem to be genetically similar and closely related to one another, sharing a common geographical origin.

"These Jewish communities are more closely related to each other and to other Middle Eastern Semitic populations -- Palestinians, Syrians, and Druze -- than to their neighboring non-Jewish populations in the Diaspora."
-Jewish Genes

This means that all those who would tell us we are all just European invaders and not even the real Jews are 100% false.  Read the whole article, it is well worth the time. More quotes.

(Continued from page 2)

Falouji went on to state that Arafat launched this intifada as a culminating state to the immutable Palestinian stance in the negotiations, and was not meant merely as a protest
of Israeli opposition leader Ariel Sharon's visit to the Temple Mount."
    -Did Sharon Spark the Riots?

So much for the lie that Sharon is to blame.  Let truth win over falsehood.

Hebrew In Israel:
"The mode of conducting Jewish affairs among themselves…is entirely in Hebrew, which ancient custom they are very tenacious of and desirous to maintain."
   - W.T. Young, British Consul in Jerusalem,  1839 (Ben Yehuda was born in  1858--ed.)   Quoted In From Time Immemorial by Joan Peters.  P 80.
