True or False:  Israel is illegally occupying many Arab lands today.

Answer: False:

In 1967, 9 different nations (Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Algeria, Kuwait, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq), declared war on Israel and promised to exterminate every Jew.

“Egypt is ready to plunge into a total war that will be the end of Israel.” (Radio Cairo, May 17, 1967)

Surprising the world with a preemptive strike, Israel defeated the Arabs in just six days. At that time, their territory was expanded to the West Bank, The Golan Heights, The Gaza Strip and the Sinai. This territory is frequently referred to as a part of Israel’s “illegal occupation.” I tend to hate that term and I argue against it for the following reasons:

1) When we think of occupying countries, what usually comes to mind is an aggressive empire seeking to conquer and expand, not a tiny little nation that expanded its boarders only as a means of survival, to prevent her untrustworthy neighbors from attacking again.

2) Most of this land had been legally offered to Israel in the Balfar Declaration anyway, before Great Britain sold it behind Israel’s back.

3) Historically, the land had been the home of the Jews for literally thousands of years.

4) The United Nations has become so corrupt, I no longer accept their standard as to what is legal or illegal.

True or False: The PLO was created only to take back what Israel stole, not to annihilate Israel.

ANSWER:  False

First of all, the PLO was created, not by a Palestinian, but by Egyptian President Nasser who shamelessly admitted that its goal was the “Liquidation of Israel.” The PLO was founded in 1964. Israel’s “occupation” followed the Six Day War in 1967.  You can do the math, can’t you?

Of course, the most well known name in association with the PLO is Yasser Arafat.  He was not a Palestinian either. Arafat was born in Cairo in1929

His Grandfather Mahmoud –Al-Hussein was cousin to JajAh.Hussein Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, friend of Adolph Hitler and Nazi operator during WWII.

Concerning the Jews, Arafat said, “Surely the judgment of Allah is reserved for them until Palestine is transformed from the House of War to the House of Islam.”

Arafat and his friends basically created modern day terrorism, as we know it. In 1951, Arafat joined the Moslem Brotherhood which later assassinated Anwar Saddat for signing a peace treaty with Israel.  In 1957, after the Moslem Brotherhood was outlawed, Arafat fled Egypt and made his way to Kuwait in order to avoid arrest.

In 1969, Arafat became chairman of PLO Fatah and other PLO splinter groups that executed hundreds of attacks around the world. Before I describe his exploits in detail, let me give a warning: If you have a weak stomach, you may not want to read on.
