Get your facts right, Syria, and quit your stinking mendacity. From Israel Never Pledged Full Withdrawal from Golan: Israel never pledged to withdraw from the Golan Heights and return to the 1967 borders as part of peace negotiations with Syria, despite declarations of officials in Damascus, Israeli sources told Israel Channel 10 Thursday.

From Palestinians Have Avoided Opportunities for Statehood: The Palestinians [Arabs], backed and at times manipulated by the Arab world, have done nearly everything possible to avoid setting up their own state. They:1) rejected UN Resolution 181 in 1947 and attacked Israel, thereby precipitating war and exile. 2) They avoided creating a state in the West Bank and Gaza between 1949 and 1967, 3) created UNRWA which perpetuated rather than solved their refugee problem, 4) rejected Egypt and Israel’s offer of autonomy in 1978, 5) jailed at
Read More +On a daily basis, we hear assertions from pablum-eating pro-palestinian sheep that Israel is occupying palestinian land. This is, of course, propaganda of the first order, since there is no such thing as palestinian land. To use that phrase – palestinian land – is to promote a blatantly political anti-Israel agenda. The excellent article below, by Lawrence Auster, lays bare the historical facts of the matter: Israel has never taken land from the palestinians, and the palestinians have no legal claim to Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) or Gaza. We urge you, whenever you see unquestioning reports of “palestinian

Via WSJ: Sixty years after its establishment by an internationally recognized act of self-determination, Israel remains the only state in the world that is subjected to a constant outpouring of the most outlandish conspiracy theories and blood libels; whose policies and actions are obsessively condemned by the international community; and whose right to exist is constantly debated and challenged not only by its Arab enemies but by segments of advanced opinion in the West. During the past decade or so, the actual elimination of the Jewish state has become a cause célèbre among many of these educated

Obama asserted in December, “I’ve always been a Christian,” and he has adamantly denied ever having been a Muslim. “The only connection I’ve had to Islam is that my grandfather on my father’s side came from that country [Kenya]. But I’ve never practiced Islam.” In February, he claimed: “I have never been a Muslim. … other than my name and the fact that I lived in a populous Muslim country for

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) has become the first national union in North America to pass a resolution in support of the boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign against Israel. The resolution states that CUPW, a union that represents more than 50,000 Canadian postal workers, will work “with Palestinian solidarity and human rights organizations to develop an educational campaign about the apartheid nature of the Israeli state and the political and economic support of Canada for these practices.” Wonderful, isn’t it, that stupid

So does the history of one million Jewish refugees from the Arab-Israel conflict. Yet the United Nations has devoted countless resolutions and debates to only one side of this story, completely ignoring the other. For the first time ever in the UN Human Rights Council, at its recently concluded session, the suffering of Jewish refugees from Arab lands was also placed on the international agenda. Shortly thereafter, the U.S. Congress adopted a historic resolution recognizing that all victims of the conflict
