 SHAME OF ANTI-ISRAEL PROPAGANDA
  by David Basch                                    3.12.10

             "In this atmosphere, one must get angry at misleading news lines
               in what are generally fair-minded Wall Street Journal news
               accounts of clashes in Israel...."

              "Another example ... is the article in WSJ by Michael Steinhardt,
               who ... gave his high minded thoughts on how to deal with the
               problem of "Arab refugees...."

Caroline Glick in her Jerusalem Post article this week rightly
deplores the propaganda campaign against Israel that turns savage
aggressors into freedom fighters and the victim, Israel, into the
degraded malefactor.

As a recent example, she mentions how the Arabs vehemently protested
against the announcement of the approval of Jerusalem administrators
for 1600 apartments in the Ramat Shlomo neighborhood, a project on
land owned by Jews. But I note the article in the Wall Street Journal this
morning (3.12.10) that demonstrates that even this was turned into a victory
of sorts as Netanyahu pledged not to allow such "incidents" to recur.

The picture that again and again emerges from such incidents is that
of "righteous Arab resistance against Jewish oppressors." What is
more, as Glick goes on to observe, the Arab side gets plenty of
support in its efforts from the supposed just and enlightened Leftists,
Europeans, and Americans. I would observe that these are the very sons
of the abetters and killers of 6 million European Jews 60 years ago,
trying no doubt for a rerun of history.

In this atmosphere, one must get angry at misleading news lines in the
generally fair-minded Wall Street Journal accounts of clashes in
Israel. Thus, this morning, a WSJ article reporting on the proposed
1600 apartments in Jerusalem notes that it is on "land claimed by the
Palestinians," as though that claim is supposed to carry some weight.
If it does so, it only does so because it leaves off mention of the
counter facts: that the land in question is more strongly and rightfully
claimed by the Palestinian Jews to whom it truly belongs.

The Palestinian Jews are the residents of the lands of the Mandate of
Palestine (which residence within the Mandate lands is the only valid
meaning of the term "Palestinian"). Moreover, the Jewish Palestinians
differ from the Arab Palestinians in that it was on behalf of the historic
claims of the Jews that these lands were set aside for a Jewish
homeland by the Mandate of Palestine.

Had these omitted facts been included in the WSJ news account, this
would have revealed that in this incident we have another illustration
of a naked attempt by the Arabs to further impose a new nationality
upon lands that belong to the Jewish nation of Israel. That the WSJ
reporters are Jews who are either ignorant or dismissive of these
facts is indicative of how successful is Arab propaganda and how
lacking is Jewish defence of the justice of the Jewish side.

While Glick rightly points out how egregious are the salacious and
slanderous assaults on Israel that reverse the truth of Arab savagery
against Israel, she omits to bell the cat of the delinquency of
Israeli governments that, over decades, have been supporters of the
Arab propaganda, which they have swallowed hook, line, and sinker.
No doubt, those Leftists thought at the height of Israeli power that the
Arabs pose no conceivable threat. But the real fact is that these
supposedly "no threat" Arabs are not a weak minority but the
vanguard of a 100 million strong Arab world that is determined to
reverse the existence of Israel as a demonstration of a triumphant
Islam.

Another example of Israel's degraded situation is the article in WSJ
by Michael Steinhardt, who is identified as a "co-founder of the
"Birthright Israel program." He gave his high minded thoughts on how
to deal with the problem of "Arab refugees." Among his amazing
suggestions is for Israel

      to issue a broad-based apology, taking its share of
      responsibility for these people's displacement and
      hardship. And it would back up that apology by offering
      direct compensation to individuals for homes and lands
      that have been lost.

This suggestion alone indicates the "bubble" within which Steinhardt
lives since he appears totally ignorant of the fact that the reason
there were such refugees resulted from the Arabs' own illegal
aggression against the emergence of Israel and that, ever since, the
"hardship" of this massive population was exacerbated by the
deliberate cultivation of their numbers by the Arab world for no other
reason than to replace the Jews of Israel.

Another suggestion by Steinhardt is for a massive aid program to bring
these Arab "refugees" into the Jewish territories that are to be given
to the Arabs in Judea, Samaria, Jerusalem, and Gaza -- lands that can
not conceivably accommodate them since they would devour the limited
water resources of the region. Were his recommendations carried out,
it would further along the Arab step by step plan to destroy Israel.
For the Arab side would be altogether strengthened in the capacity to
wipe out Israel, which is their clear goal, evident to every unbiased
observer but totally invisible to Leftist Jews. Steinhardt, a modern
Pangloss, expects that the Arabs, who would then be in the position of
squashing a beleagurered Israel like a bug, would accept a non Muslim
state Israel within the Middle East that the Arabs regard as an
abomination to Islam.

Steinhardt notes that it is the "Right" that has a dismal view of the
potential of the Arabs for peace and that it is the "Left" that is
more hopeful, albeit "depending on the right Israeli concessions."
Being situated on the heights of the clouds at Mount Olympus,
Steinhardt, the visionary peacemaker, argues that a test should be
made "of which side is right." In effect, his way is for Israel to put
its head into the Arab jackal's mouth with all of those concessions
that strengthen the Arab side so as to learn if the Arabs really mean
peace.

Nuts to him!

Steinhardt evidently cannot read the message in the many decades of
signs given by an Arab side that teaches its children to be suicide
bombers and will not even meet face to face with Israeli peace
negotiators as they brazenly call on Israel to demonstrate its
trustworthiness. He shows his incompetence, or worse, since he may
very well be one of the parade of clandestine agents of the CIA, NSA,
or other agencies at work to create the false atmosphere that
encourages Israeli appeasements and surrender.

Glick concludes her article by urging that the Left be held
accountable for abetting the reversal of reality and morality that has
been denigrating Israel. But this holding accountable will not be done
by the 77% of Obama supporting American Jews or by the pro-savage
media or leaders of European nations, but only by an Israeli that gets
serious about broadcasting the truth of the implacable Arab menace. In
the end, Israel will need to decisively confront this enemy if Israel
is to preserve its pride, its support among friends, and its very
existence.

Only Israel can fight its way out of the trap that decades of its
Leftist governments have constructed around itself that, step by
step, has leading to Israel's weakening on the way to disappearance.
