I would like to take few minutes from your time and suggest listening to this great song with the hope that we will have a peace/shalom/selaam soon in Middle East.
Enough of hate mails and free Anti-Israeli propaganda...
Enjoy,

Hello tex805-
If you will send me all kinds of anti israeli propaganda web sites , I have something else for you . It is NGO Monitor-Promoting critical debate and accountability of Human Rights in the Arab Israeli conflict. NGO -Non Governmental Organizations
http://www.ngo-monitor.org/index.php
Their mission statement (I copied word by word...) :
Our Mission Statement
The community of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) has become extremely powerful and influential, particularly with respect to human rights related issues and the Arab-Israeli conflict. Their reports, protests and lobbying activities have a dominant impact, particularly in the United Nations as well as on the policies adopted by many governments.
Until recently, however, these NGOs, which receive significant financial support from generous donors, philanthropic institutions, and government budgets, have not themselves been subject to independent and critical analysis. NGO Monitor, therefore, was founded to promote accountability, and advance a vigorous discussion on the reports and activities of humanitarian NGOs in the framework of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
---------------------------------------------------------
I believe on critical thinking and all these fancy peace organizations have only one sided opinion and very bad propaganda, it is only Anti Israeli. I have never seen one good thing from these organizations that promote about Israel.
You can check them on NGO web site and maybe educate yourself about their purpose.All these organizations are in alphabetical order in their web site.
I just wish you will never wittness a suicide bomber in your hometown nor a kassam rocket or a granade which landed on a work place and killed one Israeli and wounded badly 2 today. I hope you never feel the pain. If there are no suicide bombers from hamas, cihad that's because of the wall. They just can't pass this wall and attack civillians on the other side of the wall. It is absouletely necessary to prevent such attacks.
Sometimes you need to listen also to the other side (israeliis and their suffering and the real reasons). Do you think Israelis are not crazy enough for a peaceful life? Try to criticize the Arabs and you will get "punished" by them talking Anti Islam Propaganda.

Thank you, tex805, for posting the source of the material I had posted previously. The author, Sharon Nader Sloan, is a Lebanese-American with an open mind and a clear view. Her article does not purport to support all of Israel's actions, or even to be pro-Israeli - she only wishes the Palestinians, and the world in general, to recognize the truth, and the need for educating them before any chance of peace maybe realized.
As mentioned in the article, the source of the statement in question is Faisal Husseini: "the ultimate goal is the liberation of all of historical Palestine."; historical Palestine includes what is today Israel, Jordan, the West Bank and Gaza.
Tex805, are you aware that Israel is occupying the West Bank as a result of Jordan - the previous occupier - starting a war, and refusing to negotiate the return of the West Bank in exchange for peace? That Palestinian militants have engaged in murderous attacks against Israeli civilians from that territory since before Israel's occupation? That their reply to Israel's offer of withdrawal and peace was to intensify that campaign with suicide bombings? Do you believe that Israeli Jews have the same right of self-defense as everyone else in the world, even if they are a democracy?
While Israel has not carried out home demolitions for many years - they proved ineffective at preventing terror - destroying a building to save a life is completely understandable. Democracies have an obligation to protect their citizens, and very few options in the face of jihadis, shaheeds and the rest of the crazies. Barriers, security checks, and other measures to prevent terrorism are unpleasant but necessary, considering the severe consequences of not implementing them.
Israeli Arabs, who do not live in the West Bank or Gaza and are full citizens, are not subject to the restrictions you mentioned as long as they are not actively engaged in acts of violence, and very few are. The Palestinian areas suffer because that is where the terrorists operate and hide amongst the population, supported by PLO, Hamas and Islamic Jihad, who prefer prolonging the war to negotiating peace. Blame them, not Israel, for the state of Palestine.

1) There never was a Palestinian state or a Palestinian nation. There are no Palestinian people, per se. Rather, these are Arabs living in a region that historically has been called many things, including "Palestine."
2) Israel did not go to war against a Palestinian state and occupy its land. Rather, Israel was attacked by six Arab countries at once. She defended herself, defeated her attackers, and won the so-called territories, not from the Palestinians, but from Jordan and Egypt.
3) Jerusalem was never the capital of any state but Israel. It was certainly never the capital of a country that never existed. Why should the Palestinians get any part of it? Because they want it? Because they have terrorists?
4) Jerusalem, under the current Israeli control, is a free and open city. Israel, as a democracy, guarantees freedom of religion within its borders. Contrast this fact with areas that have come under Palestinian occupation. What percentage of Christians have left in recent years because they cannot stand the harassment and persecution?
5) Most Arabs living in Palestine today are not indigenous to the region. It was not until after the Jews had changed deserts and swamps into a productive and thriving land that the Arabs started migrating there. Arafat himself was born and raised in Cairo, Egypt. Did you know that?
The belief that giving the Palestinians a state will bring peace is a delusion. The truth is that they want it all. The short-term goal is a state consisting of the West Bank and Gaza. The long-term goal is a state which includes all of "historical Palestine," including Jordan.
Unless the Arabs recognize and accept these truths, even if they are given a state of their own, and no matter how many agreements and treaties they sign, they will always feel wronged, cheated, and forced into giving up what they now claim is theirs. They will continue to plot and look for an opportunity to destroy Israel in order to take back what they claim is theirs, especially the younger generation that has been brainwashed to hate the occupying enemy. Whether there is a Palestinian state or not, there will be no peace.
Only a massive and ongoing re-education of the Arab people to these truths will enable meaningful negotiations to begin, followed by a lasting peace between Arabs and Jews. It is therefore critical that everyone who has an audience, whether in print or other media, use the forum they have available to repeat these truths again and again until they reach the consciousness of those waging war in the Middle East.

Hello Mr. Info,
Can you please explain to me why do you call Israel a very powerful country when you have these following facts:
The Arab nations are represented by 21 separate countries (see Table). There is only one Jewish nation with a tiny country, Israel. The combined territories of Arab countries is 650 fold greater than Israel (see map above comparing size of Israel versus those of Arab countries). Their population is 50 fold greater than Israel. The average per capita GDP in Arab countries is $3,700 versus $18,000 for Israel. This despite the fact that many Arab countries have world's richest oil resources.
The Arab nations initiated four wars against Israel. Israel defended itself each time and won. After each war Israeli army withdrew from most of the areas it captured (see maps). (see Camp-David Accords). This is unprecedented in World history and shows Israel's willingness to reach peace even at the risk of fighting for its very existence each time anew.
If the Arabs (Moslems) put down their weapons today there would be no more violence. If the Israelis put down their weapons today there would be no more Israel.
Think about it...
The link with some educational movies and materials:

And please don't make any suggestions for Israel what to do with their tiny land , from a beautiful city Santa Barbara. You don't live there and so you can't understand what is it like to live with terror every day. If you learn some facts you will understand that Israel is trying to defend itself and nothing else.
The bloody arab propaganda doesn't teach you anything? Do you find normal using little children starpped to the suicide bomb belts? This doesn't give you any idea about the "great nation" which is called islamist extremists. Do you think that they understand democratic and humanitarian talks or they want to find solution only by destroying Israel and killing the innocent people. Can you sit with that kind of thirsty for blood people in the same table? I don't think so. So does Israel.
I have a good suggestion for you, go travel to Gaza and West Bank and try to convince your peaceful hamas brothers or islamic cihad friends to go to peaceful solution. We will see if you get out of there in one piece. By the way no life insurance for you , you take your life in your hands...
Good dreams,
Betty
