The Palestinian Problem, Pt. 2

“The Palestinian Problem” Pt. 2

Zechariah 2:8 “…for he who touches you (Israel) touches the apple of His eye.”

Jeremiah 6:4

4. The 10 Facts That Dismisses and Destroys The “Palestinian Problem”.

Fact #1: The driving force behind this issue is summed up in one word…hatred.

Most of us don’t realize how deep the hate is with the Arab towards the Jew. This hatred did not exist until Mohammed influence in the 7th century.

Arab children in most Arab counties are first indoctrinated with hate for the Jew in their homes and then their school’s textbooks!

Former Syrian Minister of Education, Suleiman

Al-Khash wrote, “The hatred which we indoctrinate into the minds of our children from their birth is sacred.”

In one Jordanian high school textbook says, “Israel was born to die…” Then on the back of the book is a map showing Arab armies circling Israel with missiles aimed at Tel Aviv.

In a Jordanian spelling book for 5th graders, the student is to practice writing, “We shall expel all the Jews from the Arab countries”

In a grammar book in Egypt for junior high they are to write, “The Arabs do not cease to act for the extermination of Israel.”

David Bar-Illan who grew up in Syria and later escaped to Israel remembers, “I remember that the Muslim boys threw stones at me…” from his education he says, “I remember it is written that all Jews are evil. And their (Jews) God is a god who wants to drink the blood of all the other people…this was in the Arabic book at the education system…”

Philip Hitti, a leading Arab historian says, hatred is “A chronic mental illness.”

Fact #2 Jews have always been a majority in the land.

Fact #3: It was not until the humiliating defeat of 1967, two decades after Israel’s sovereignty in the land, that a strong Arab connection was established.

Fact #4: If not careful the peace table will eventually destroy Israel.

The news media and politicians all call it the “peace process”, but it’s better said “piece process” – one piece of land after the next! President Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair have devised a “Road Map to Peace”…really it’s a road map for Israel giving up more of it’s half of their 23%.

Israel in the last 60 years has been in 6 bloody wars with its Arab neighbors! And every time Israel has come out on top! Here me…what the Arab nations have failed to do on the battlefield they have accomplished at the peace table!

Tunisian President Habib Bourguiba said 30 years ago, “The only way to destroy Israel is through peace.”

I personally think that every time the PLO has come close to agree on principle with Israel it was only so they can regroup and rearm themselves.

Fact #5: After 1948 when Israel became a nation, the name “Palestinian” almost became extinct.

Fact #6: Under British rule, the Jews were carefully called “Palestinian Jews” because they did not want to offend the Arabs from Jordan, Egypt and Syria who hated the name “Palestinian”.

Fact #7: Arabs are Semites; Philistines were non-Semitic people.

“Non-Semitic = non-Arab, non-Jewish.

One of the strongest lies that even Yasser Arafat promoted among his people was that today’s Palestinian Arabs are descendants of ancient Philistines.

Anwar Sadat the former President of Egypt denounced this claim, “The assassination of Arab brethren like Goliath, Jewish sheep-herders like David, is the sort of shameful ignomy that we must yet set aright in the domain of the occupied Palestinian homeland.”

Webster’s dictionary defines Philistines as, “non-Semitic people who lived in southwestern Palestine from 1200B.C. on.”

Fact #8: All roads lead to Jerusalem with it’s attempted overthrown with force.

· Its current population is about 620,000.

· The city is only about 12 acres in size.

The battle lines are currently being drawn right through the heart of Jerusalem. When Ariel Sharon was recently visiting Israel’s nuclear facility and he said, “Arabs have the oil, but we have the matches.”

Why is this city so important to Arabs since the evidence shows:

· The Quran never mentions the city of Jerusalem.

· There is no historical evidence that places Mohammad in this Jewish holy city.

· Islam had no mosque in Jerusalem until after Mohammad’s death.

· Mohammad never considered Jerusalem as a holy city of Islam.

· On February 12, 624, Mohammad forbid Muslims to face Jerusalem and pray.

Arafat really didn’t want just the Gaza Strip and the West Bank; he wanted the crown Jewel – Jerusalem! And then drive the Jews into the sea!

In September 1995 Yasser Arafat declared, "By Allah I swear that the Palestinian people are prepared to sacrifice the last boy and the last girl so that the Palestinian flag will be flown over the walls, the churches, and the mosques of Jerusalem."
