While checking other interesting blogs I have found the following article written by Steven Plaut on Aug. 14, 2009. You better take some time and go through it and let me know what you think about it.

The 14 Lies Blocking Peace in the Middle East
Israel’s enemies around the world have poisoned the debate with their smoke and mirrors. If a Martian were suddenly to land on earth and started listening to and reading the mainstream media, he would form the impression that the entire Middle East conflict were due to Israel building some settlements in land that much of the world thinks should become a Palestinian state. A near-consensus exists among the governments of the world and among media writers that peace has yet to break out in the Middle East because of three principle reasons. The first is that the Jews and the Arabs have been unable to agree about whether there should be a Palestinian state. The second is because Israel has obstinately refused to withdraw its troops from (so-called) “occupied Arab” lands. The third is because Israel behaves cruelly towards the Palestinians. The Martian could easily carry these beliefs back to its home planet, as long as it did not bother to learn the background and the history of the Middle East conflict. Those three reasons cannot survive an antibiotic of familiarity with Middle East history. President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton seem to think the idea of Palestinian statehood is the most wonderful idea to come along since the Thirteenth Amendment. And almost all world politicians, along with the Israeli Left, insist that all Israeli settlements must be removed from the West Bank because they serve as the main obstacle to peace. The reality is that Continue reading →
The PA does not even try to hide their anti-Semitic attitudes as the following report shows. Apparently this and other anti-Semitic messages from our Palestinian ”partner for peace” have not yet reached the ears of US President Barack Hussein Obama and several other western leaders.
Palestinian Media Watch, Bulletin August 10, by Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook
While Israel demands that the PA recognize Israel as a Jewish state, the official Palestinian Authority news agency has responded with a vicious anti-Semitic article stating that a Jewish state (literally “Jewishness of a state”) is by definition inherently racist and endangers all humanity.
The PA is accusing Israel of ethnic cleansing of Arabs and Palestinians, and says this policy of the “Jewish state” endangers global security.
In addition, Continue reading →
Besides the 2-State solution, some people still believe in the 1-State solution, others speak about a 4- or 6-State solution, and there is even a plan for a 50+State solution.
The conflict between the Jews and the Arabs in the Middle East has actually turned into one of the most significant international “concerns” as soon as the General Assembly adopted the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine after 33 countries (13 against, 10 abstentions) voted in favor of a Jewish and an Arab state living side by side on November 29, 1947. Ever since the Middle East has been in turmoil. It seems like the conflict between the Jews and the Arabs, i.e. the Palestinians is everlasting. Since the UN Partition Plan in 1947 the world tries to figure out what is righteous for the peoples living in this region and only recently the main world powers have agreed on the final formula: Two States for Two Peoples. One side Jewish-Israeli, the other Arab-Palestinian. There is absolutely no doubt about who the Jews are but I have noticed that there are many versions about who the so-called Palestinians actually are? Continue reading →
