"Crash Course on the Arab Israeli Conflict." 1.5min

Fwd: "Crash Course on the Arab Israeli Conflict."


GOD said, "I will bless them that bless thee and I will curse
them that curse thee". Does America want a blessing or a cursing?
Remember, GOD's Word is sure !

Apparently, Benjamin Netanyahu gave an interview and was asked
about
Israel's occupation of Arab lands -- his response was
"It's our land."
The reporter (CNN or the like) was
stunned -- read below "It's our land..."

It's important information since
we don't get fair and accurate
reporting from the media and facts tend to get
lost in the jumble of
daily even ts.

"Crash Course on the Arab Israeli Conflict."

Here are overlooked facts in the current Middle East
situation.
These were compiled by a Christian university professor.

BRIEF FACTS ON THE ISRAELI CONFLICT TODAY....
( It takes just 1.5 minutes to read!!!! )

It makes sense and it's not slanted. Jew
and non-Jew -- it doesn't matter.
1. Nationhood and Jerusalem. Israel became
a nation in 1312 B.C.E. Two
thousand years before the rise of
Islam.

2. 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.

3. 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.
4. The only Arab dominion since the conquest in 635 C.E.
lasted nomore than 22 years.

5. 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
makeit their capital, and Arab leaders did not come to visit.

6.
Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in Tanach, the Jewish Holy
Scriptures. Jerusalem is not mentioned once in th e Koran.
7. King David founded the city
of Jerusalem. Mohammed never came to Jerusalem.

8. Jews pray facing
Jerusalem. Muslims pray with their backs toward Jerusalem.

9. 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.

10 The Jewish refugees were
forced to flee from Arab lands due to Arab brutality, persecution and
pogroms.

11. 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.

12. 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 werecompletely absorbed into Israel,
a country no larger than the state
of New Jersey.
13. 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.

14. 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.

15. 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.

16. The U.N.
Record on Israel and the Arabs: of the 175 Security
Council resolutions
passed before 1990, 97 were directed against Israel.

17. Of the 690
General Assembly resolutions voted on before 1990, 429
were directed against Israel.
18. The U.N was silent while 58 Jerusalem Synagogues were destroyed
by the Jordanians.

19. The U.N. Was silent while the Jordanians
systematically desecrated
the ancient Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives.

20. The U.N. Was silent while the Jordanians enforced
an
apartheid-like a policy of preventing Jews from visiting
the
TempleMount and the Western Wall.

These are incredible times. We
have to ask what our role should be.
What will we tell our grandchildren we
did when there was a turning
point in Jewish destiny, an opportunity to make
a difference?
START NOW- Send this to 20 other people you
know and ask them to send
it to twenty others, Jew and non-Jew--it doesn't really
matter.
