All you ever hear is Israel kicked out Arabs and caused the refugee problem, that the land has always belongs to the Muslims, and a large assortment of propaganda from Arab papers and other media that would make Joseph Goebbels, Minister of Propaganda for Nazi Germany proud since he said:
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” | |

#1 The root of Arab hostility is not Israel, but rather anti-Jewish feeling for hundreds of years, past & present "peace" efforts that don't recognize this are doomed to failure.
#2 Mecca was probably founded by Jews, and Mohomed's hatred of Jews was partly based on financing his endevors by plundering Jewish wealth, just as Henry VIII & the Protestants plundered Catholic monastaries in
the 1600s to fund English operations.
#3 "Palestine" never existed as a country, language or people
#4 There were really very few Arabs in "Palestine" before the 1890s (less than 600,000 in Israel and Jordan for several hundred years). Jews did not displace Arab farmers.
#5 Arabs settlers flooded in *after* the Jews came in a ratio sometimes approaching 10 Arabs to 1 Jew. The massive Arab settlers caused the British to say that Palestine was "full", and in a sense displaced potential
Jewish refugees from Europe.
#6 The British were in violation of their mandate when they created Jordan, and the Mandate Commission, the U.S. and several others vigorously opposed this at the time. Four out of the seven overseers on the Mandate Commission were going to vote to reject the British "White Papers" but then WWII broke out.
#7 The British ignored Arab immigration and purposely assisted Arab to come into what would be Israel. They actually told the French to *stop* policing the Syrian-Lebanon border. The British foiled all efforts to enforce border control with Jordan.
#8 In spite of a vigorous British campaign to stop Jewish immigration into Palestine "because there was no room for more Jews", the British brought in thousands of Arab workers who settled in Palestine.
#9 The British carried out a campaign of Arab appeasment in violation of the Mandate, even firing on Jewish immigrant boats, before -during -and even after the holocaust.
#10 When war broke out in 1948, about 600,000 Arabs left Israel because they had only been there for a couple of years.
#11 The Arab states, especially the Mufti (Arafat's uncle) worked close with the Nazi's. The Mufti set up office in Berlin.
#12 The U.N. Changed their definition of a "refugee" for Palestinians to include anyone who had lived in Israel for *two years*
#13 After the war in 1948 about 600,000 Jewish refugees left Arab countries for Israel after being persecuted there.
And leaves the point that the Arabs, and especially the British (by dividing Palestine twice, and imposing strict quotas) were largely to blame for not providing an escape for Jews of the holocaust.
Quotes from Arab papers:
ON APRIL 23, 1948 Jamal Husseini, acting chairman of the Palestine Arab Higher Committee (AHC), told the UN Security Council: "The Arabs did not want to submit to a truce ... They preferred to abandon their homes,,belongings and everything they possessed."
ON SEPTEMBER 6, 1948, the Beirut Daily Telegraph quoted Emil Ghory, secretary of the AHC, as saying: "The fact that there are those refugees is the direct consequence of the action of the Arab states in opposing partition and the Jewish state. The Arab states agreed upon this policy unanimously..."
ON JUNE 8, 1951, Habib Issa, secretary-general of the Arab League, wrote in the New York Lebanese daily al-Hoda that in 1948, Azzam Pasha, then League secretary, had "assured the Arab peoples that the occupation of Palestine and of Tel Aviv would be as simple as a military promenade ... Brotherly advice was given to the Arabs of Palestine to leave their land, homes and property, and to stay temporarily in neighbouring fraternal states."
IN THE MARCH 1976 issue of Falastin a-Thaura, then the official journal ofthe Beirut-based PLO, Mahmud Abbas ("Abu Mazen"), PLO spokesman, wrote: "The Arab armies entered Palestine to protect the
Palestinians from the Zionist tyranny but, instead, they abandoned them, forced them to emigrate and to leave their homeland, and threw them into prisons similar to the ghettos in which the Jews used to live."
ON APRIL 9, 1953, the Jordanian daily al-Urdun quoted a refugee,Yunes Ahmed Assad, formerly of Deir Yassin, as saying: "For the flight and fall of the other villages, it is our leaders who are responsible,
because of the dissemination of rumours exaggerating Jewish crimes and describing them as atrocities in order to inflame the Arabs ... they instilled fear and terror into the hearts of the Arabs of Palestine until they fled, leaving their homes and property to the enemy."
ANOTHER refugee told the Jordanian daily a-Difaa on September 6, 1954: "The Arab governments told us, 'Get out so that we can get in.' So we got out, but they did not get in."
THE JORDANIAN daily Falastin wrote on February 19, 1949: "The Arab states... encouraged the Palestinian Arabs to leave their homes temporarily in order to be out of the way of the Arab invasion armies."
ON OCTOBER 2, 1948, the London Economist reported, in an eyewitness account of the flight of Haifa's Arabs: "There is little doubt that the most potent of the factors [in the flight] were the announcements
made over the air by the Arab Higher Executive urging all Arabs in Haifa to quit ... And it was clearly intimated that those Arabs who remained in Haifa and accepted Jewish protection would be regarded as renegades."
THE PRIME Minister of Syria in 1948, Khaled al-Azem, in his memoirs, published in 1973, listed what he thought were the reasons for the Arab failure in 1948: "... the fifth factor was the call by the Arab
governments to the inhabitants of Palestine to evacuate it and leave for the bordering Arab countries ... We brought destruction upon a million Arab refugees bycalling on them and pleading with them to leave their land."
"FOLLOWING a visit to refugees in Gaza, a British diplomat reported the following: 'But while they express no bitterness against the Jews...they speak with the utmost bitterness of theEgyptians and other Arab states: 'We know who our enemies are,' they will say, and they are referring to their Arab brothers who, they declare, persuaded them unnecessarily to leave their homes."

British Foreign Office Document #371/75342/XC/A/4991
[From "Revising or Devising Israel's History" by Prof. Shlomo
Slonim in Jewish Action, Summer 5760/2000, Vol. 60 #4]
Jerusalem as the third most Holy site in Islam?Jerusalem's role as "The Third Holiest Site in Islam" in mainstream Islamic writings does not precede the 1930s. It was created by the Grand Mufti Haj Amin al Husseini , Hitler's Mufti. The land was in Turkish (Muslim) hands, yet take a good look at the pictures of their so called Holy site.
The Islamic claim to the Temple is very recent, since 1930
Sura5:19-22 :
People of the Book!
"Bear in mind the words of Moses to his people.He said,"Remember,my people,the favour which G-d has bestowed upon you.He raised up prophets from among you,made you kings, and given to you that which He has given no other nation.Enter,my people,the holy land which G-d has assigned for you
Sura 10:93
We settled the Israelites in a blessed land and provided them with good things.
Sura17:103
Then We said to the Israelites,"Dwell in this land.When the promise of the hearafter comes to be fulfilled,We shall assemble you all together."
Muslim critics of Israel often say that Jerusalem's holy sites must be
transferred to Muslim control, because of the central role they play in
Islamic theology. For instance, the Dome of the Rock was built on the site
where Mohammed is believed to have ascended to Heaven to receive the
revelation of the Qur'an.
However, these people seldom actually quote the Qur'an itself. This is
probably because, amazing as it sounds, the Qur'an actually supports the
Zionist cause.
Specifically, Mohammed in Sura 5:21 quotes Moses telling the Jews to "enter
into the holy land which Allah has assigned to you". While Mohammed later
criticizes the Jews for their sins and their refusal to accept Mohammed's
message, he never says that, as punishment, Allah has revoked their title to
the land. Hence the title still stands, and Muslim anti-Zionists are
apostates.
Indeed, this is the opinion of Sheikh Prof. Abdul Hadi Palazzi, co-chairman
of the Islam-Israel Fellowship, who condemns the Palestinian uprising as
"fitnah" (sedition), which is forbidden in Islam as long as the Muslims are
granted religious freedom.
A case could even be made that Israel's victory over the Arabs in the 1948
war was a judgement by Allah against the Arabs for their apostasy in opposing
the Zionists.
This would be their just reward for transgressing Sura 2:190, which says,
"Fight in the way of Allah against those who fight against you, but begin not
hostilities."
Moreover, Sura 60:9 forbids aiding the enemies of the Muslim people. Contrast
this with the Palestinians' continued support of Saddam Hussein, whose hands
are red with the blood of Iranian, Kurdish, and Kuwaiti Muslims.
The Jews' return from 19 centuries of exile is actually the fulfillment of
Islamic prophecy. Sura 17:104 says that "when the promise of the Hereafter
comes to pass, We [Allah] shall bring you as a crowd gathered out of various
nations".
Sura 17:4 says, "And We [Allah] gave (clear) warning to the children of
Israel in the Book, that twice would they do mischief on the earth and be
elated with mighty arrogance (and twice would they be punished)!" The
succeeding verses tell us that the punishment referred to was banishment from
the land. But "twice" means twice, not three times; hence the Jews, having
been banished from the land once by the Babylonians and a second time by
Rome, will never again be banished from the land. According to the Qur'an,
Israel is an eternal nation.
Moreover, "twice would they do mischief on the earth" means twice, not three
times; hence the Jews will never again do mischief on the earth. In
particular, the Jews cannot bear moral responsibility for the Palestinian
refugee problem.
Sura 83:1 says, "Woe to those that deal in fraud"; yet Yasir Arafat reneged
on his promise to guard Joseph's Tomb in Nablus after the Israeli troops
withdrew.
The Palestinians deny that there ever was a Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. But
Sura 17:7 records the destruction of the First Temple by Babylon and the
Second Temple by Rome, and Mohammed never contests the Bible's claim that the
Temples were in Jerusalem.
Sura 16:126 says, "If ye punish, then punish with the like of that wherewith
ye were afflicted." Yet Ariel Sharon's nonviolent, if provocative, visit to
the Temple Mount was met with rioting, including the use of firebombs and
AK-47's.
The Palestinians are hypocrites. "Allah akhbar!", they chant; "G-d is great!"
Yet they flagrantly transgress their own cherished Scriptures. Is it any
wonder that they have allied themselves over the years with such villains as
Adolf Hitler, Yosef Stalin, and Saddam Hussein?
As you will see from the following quotes, the Quran does have the effect, if not
the design, of promoting disparagement of Jews and Christians. The quotes are from the English version of the Quran and although some content may have been lost in translation, the main ideas of the verses are clear. Upon reading these verses, three things should become clear. That The Quran shows clear animosity toward Jews and Christians.
That the verses are written in an argumentative style that is more typical of a person than of God. That the overall style and certain references do not conform to the biblical text that (supposedly) contain the roots of Islam. See (Sura 5:44). Surly these issues are subjective, however we must consider what the majority of people would consider reasonable.
82:62 Those who believe (in the Qur'an), and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians,- any who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and work righteousness, shall have their reward with their Lord; on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.
This is nice sentiment, however it will be repeatedly contradicted in later text. Shortly after this was written Muhammad's army slaughtered hundreds of Jews and sold their women and children into slavery.
2:111 And they say: "None shall enter Paradise unless he be a Jew or a Christian."
Those are their (vain) desires. Say: "Produce your proof if ye are truthful."
Who said that and where is it written? If this refers to a quote from Torah it is God's words and not that of the Jewish people.The language and communication style used in this verse as in all of these verses, is noticibly different from that in both the Torah and in the New Testament. At any rate the verse has a malicious tone thatdisparages other religions. The fact is that Judaism says no such thing in the Torah or otherwise. The talmud states Tosefta,Saheddrin 13:The righteous of all nations have a share in the World to Come and the Zohar (Kabbalistic writings) says Tana DeBei Eliahu Rabbah 9: I call heaven and earth as witnesses:Any individual,whether gentile or Jew,man or woman,servant or maid,can bring the Divine Presence upon himself in accordance to his deeds.
2:113 The Jews say: "The Christians have naught (to stand) upon; and the Christians say: "The Jews have naught (To stand) upon." Yet they (Profess to) study the(same) Book. Like unto their word is what those say who know not; but Allah will judge between them in their quarrel on the Day of Judgment.
Again the communication style differs from that which we are used to, and again we see language that appears to be intended to discredit Jews and Christians. The main issue here is that Jews and Christians do not in fact profess to study the same book. Certainly God would know this, Muhammad on the other hand, evidently did not. This discrepancy suggests that it was in fact Muhammad that wrote the Quran.
2:120 Never will the Jews or the Christians be satisfied with thee unless thou follow their form of religion. Say: "The Guidance of Allah,-that is the (only) Guidance." Wert thou to follow their desires after the knowledge which hath reached thee, then wouldst thou find neither Protector nor helper against Allah.
Consider the point of view of the author, although written in the third person it seems as though the author is obsessed with deliberation with the Jewish and Christian people. This verse seems to reflect emotions that are more typical of a man than of God.
2:135 They say: "Become Jews or Christians if ye would be guided (To
salvation)." Say thou: "Nay! (I would rather) the Religion of Abraham the True, and he
joined not gods with Allah."
Who says this? Certainly, if this text was written by God He would remember that Judaism doesn't teach someone needs to become Jewish to merit the World to Come.
4:46 Of the Jews there are those who displace words from their (right) places, and say: "We hear and we disobey"; and "Hear what is not Heard"; and "Ra'ina"; with a twist of their tongues and a slander to Faith. If only they had said: "What hear and we obey"; and "Do hear"; and "Do look at us"; it would have been better for them, and more proper; but Allah hath cursed them for their Unbelief; and but few of them will believe.
The debasement of the Jews continues in this verse with a supposed statement by God that he has cursed the entire religion. Is this not in direct conflict with verse 82:62?
4:160 For the iniquity of the Jews We made unlawful for them certain (foods) good and wholesome which had been lawful for them;- in that they hindered many from Allah's Way;
I assume this verse refers to the Kosher restrictions. If this is the case, the author clearly does not understand the nature of the Kosher restrictions. A good question that comes to mind is, why would God punish the Jews with restrictions if the Jews typically disobey such commandments? ("We hear and we disobey ,4:46).
2:120 Never will the Jews or the Christians be satisfied with thee unless thou follow their form of religion. Say: "The Guidance of Allah,-that is the (only) Guidance." Wert thou to follow their desires after the knowledge which hath reached thee, then wouldst thou find neither Protector nor helper against Allah.
5:18 (Both) the Jews and the Christians say: "We are sons of Allah, and his beloved." Say: "Why then doth He punish you for your sins? Nay, ye are but men,- of the men he hath created: He forgiveth whom He pleaseth, and He punisheth whom He pleaseth: and to Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between: and unto Him is the final goal (of all)"
Here the point made by the author possesses no obvious flaws. What is apparent here as in most of the verses, is the anti-Jew, anti-Christian theme. The style also suggests that the sentiments are the words of a personally involved party and not of the King of Kings.
Here we see another clear attempt to slander the Jewish people. Had this been an article published in a newspaper it would surly be condemned as an anti-Semitic assault. If we expect more than this from men, how much more could we expect from God.
The Quran was written around 6oo AD, yet in this verse we see the attempt by Islam to make the retroactive claim that Jewish history was in fact Islamic history incognito. I assume the Muslims have an elaborate explanation as to why it took thousands of years to get things straightened out. It is important to note however, that Muhammad's people stood to gain a great deal from such a claim. There is also a sub claim here, Islam refers to Torah as "Gods book," this suggests that Torah is in fact a bench mark for discussion of Islam. Therefore, it would be an inconsistency to refute its teachings. This is done in Quran both directly and accidentally. (2:111 And they say: "None shall enter Paradise unless he be a Jew or a Christian." Those are their (vain)desires. Say: "Produce your proof if ye are truthful." ).
the Jews (by Muslims),( If any do fail to judge by (the light of) what Allah hath revealed, they are (no better than) Unbelievers.).
5:51 O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and
protectors: They are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust.
I probably don't need to point out the defamation of the Jewish and Christian people in verse 5:51, and it should be clear to the plainest of logic that this verse was written by a man with a great deal of animosity toward these people.
Here the vilification of the Jews grows more intense with the assertion that God's chosen people are now hated by God. Once again the author reveals his personal involvement with his hostility toward the Jews for rejecting the Quran. One thing that is important to note here is that when Torah speaks of people falling out of grace with God it is referring to small, limited groups of people such as those in Sodom and Gomorrah. Those people were dispatched, and the story ended leaving only history. In contrast, the Quran's affront of Jews and Christians has the very different effect of ongoing malice toward a living race of people. This is unacceptable by today's standards, and is simply not the way of God.
obstinate rebellion and blasphemy.
and the Sabians and the Christians,- any who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and work righteousness,- on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.
damaging statements made in other verses?
5:82 Strongest among men in enmity to the believers wilt thou find the Jews and
Pagans; and nearest among them in love to the believers wilt thou find those who say, "We are Christians": because amongst these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant.
6:146 For those who followed the Jewish Law, We forbade every (animal) with
undivided hoof, and We forbade them that fat of the ox and the sheep, except what
adheres to their backs or their entrails, or is mixed up with a bone: this in recompense for their wilful disobedience: for We are true (in Our ordinances).
9:30 The Jews call 'Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth!
16:118 To the Jews We prohibited such things as We have mentioned to thee before: We did them no wrong, but they were used to doing wrong to themselves.
