*BRIEF FACTS ON THE ISRAELI CONFLICT TODAY*
*We need to know these facts as things start getting dicey with Israel and
Iran. Even those who aren't particularly sympathetic to Israel's Benjamin
Netanyahu, could get a good measure of satisfaction from this interview
with British Television during the retaliation against Hamas' shelling of Israel.

The interviewer asked him: "How come so many more Palestinians have been
killed in this conflict than Israelis?" (A nasty question if there ever was one!)
Netanyahu: "Are you sure that you want to start asking in that direction?"*
Interviewer: (Falling into the trap) Why not?*

Netanyahu: "Because in World War II more Germans were killed than British
and Americans combined, but there is no doubt in anyone's mind that the war
was caused by Germany's aggression. And in response to the German blitz on
London, the British wiped out the entire city of Dresden, burning to death
more German civilians than the number of people killed in Hiroshima...
Moreover, I could remind you that in 1944, when the R.A.F. tried to bomb
the Gestapo Headquarters in Copenhagen, some of the bombs missed their
target and fell on a Danish children's hospital, killing 83 little
children. Perhaps you have another question?"*

*Apparently, Benjamin Netanyahu gave another interview and was asked about
Israel's occupation of Arab lands. His response was, "It's our land". The
reporter (CNN or the like) was stunned - read below "It's our land..." It's
important information since we don't get fair and accurate reporting from
the media and facts tend to get lost in the jumble of daily events.*

BRIEF FACTS ON THE ISRAELI CONFLICT TODAY... (**It takes just 1.5 minutes
to read!**) It makes sense and it's not slanted. Jew and non-Jew - it doesn't matter.

1. Nationhood and Jerusalem: Israel became a nation in 1312 BC, two
thousand (2000) years before the rise of Islam.

2. Arab refugees in Israel began identifying themselves as part of a
Palestinian people in 1967, two decades after the establishment of the
modern State of Israel.

3. Since the Jewish conquest in 1272 BC, the Jews have had dominion over
the land for one thousand (1000) years with a continuous presence in the
land for the past 3,300 years.

4. The only Arab dominion since the conquest in 635 lasted no more than 22 years.

5. For over 3,300 years, Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital. Jerusalem
has never been the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. Even when the Jordanians occupied Jerusalem, they never sought to make it their capital, and Arab leaders did not come to visit.

6. Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in Tanach, the Jewish Holy
scriptures. Jerusalem is not mentioned even once in the Koran.

7. King David founded the city of Jerusalem. Mohammed never came to Jerusalem.

8. Jews pray facing Jerusalem. Muslims pray with their backs toward Jerusalem.

9. Arab and Jewish Refugees: in 1948 the Arab refugees were encouraged to leave Israel by Arab leaders promising to purge the land of Jews. Sixty-eight percent left (many in fear of retaliation by their own brethren, the Arabs), without ever seeing an Israeli soldier. The ones who stayed were afforded the same peace, civility, and citizenship rights as everyone else.

10. The Jewish refugees were forced to flee from Arab lands due to Arab brutality, persecution and programs.

11. The number of Arab refugees who left Israel in 1948 is estimated to be around 630,000. The number of Jewish refugees from Arab lands is estimated to be the same.

12. Arab refugees were INTENTIONALLY not absorbed or integrated into the
Arab lands to which they fled, despite the vast Arab territory. Out of the 100,000,000 refugees since World War II, theirs is the only refugee group in the world that has never been absorbed or integrated into their own people's lands. Jewish refugees were completely absorbed into Israel, a country no larger than the state of New Jersey.

13. The Arab-Israeli Conflict: the Arabs are represented by eight separate nations, not including the Palestinians. There is only one Jewish nation. The Arab nations initiated all five wars and lost. Israel defended itself each time and won.

14. The PLO's Charter still calls for the destruction of the State of Israel. Israel has given the Palestinians most of the West Bank land, autonomy under the Palestinian Authority, and has supplied them.

15. Under Jordanian rule, Jewish holy sites were desecrated and the Jews were denied access to places of worship. Under Israeli rule, all Muslim and Christian sites have been preserved and made accessible to people of all faiths.

16. The UN Record on Israel and the Arabs: of the 175 Security Council resolutions passed before 1990, 97 were directed against Israel.

17. Of the 690 General Assembly resolutions voted on before 1990, 429 were directed against Israel.

18. The UN was silent while 58 Jerusalem synagogues were destroyed by the Jordanians.

19. The UN was silent while the Jordanians systematically desecrated the ancient Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives.

20. The UN was silent while the Jordanians enforced an apartheid-like a policy of preventing Jews from visiting the Temple Mount and the Western Wall. These are incredible times. We have to ask what our role should be. What will we tell our grandchildren about what we did when there was a turning point in Jewish destiny, an opportunity to make a difference?

Best regards Paul. Thanks.

These facts are critical when determining sovereignty of Israel as well as any misguided & completely corrupt attempts to validate Arab claims to Jewish land. Muslims hope to eradicate ALL Jews & infidels (everyone non-Muslim) from Earth completely as directed by their Holy books koran & hadith. Their Machdi (Messiah) will come back to Earth when the conflict between Muslims & infidels reaches critical mass (*also taught straight from the Koran). Muslims teach from their holy books that our Messianic Jew & Christian, Jesus Christ, will come again at that time as a reformed Muslim Prophet, subservient to Mohammed, to proclaim Mohammed's belief of "peace for the world" correpondingly killing all Christians &/or others who resist. They teach Jesus will then marry a Muslim woman, have children, then die an ordinary man. How about that for a peaceful omnipotent religion?

Muslim dogma is evil & 180 degrees opposed to what our Christian Bible teaches. Both CANNOT be correct as they are in diametric contrast. This may be exactly the good vs evil the Bible warns? God did NOT make evil. Evil is the absence of God. Rest assured, the coming Conflagration includes these forces against the other when "every nation shall come against Israel". Watch that same systematic progress daily throughout the world with astonishing speed exactly as our Bible teaches.

Jesus Christ is the Only answer. "Let No Man come unto the Father but through me (Jesus)". Also read John 3:16. He is very clear in His New Testament teachings exhalting that fact often in every New Testament book. Additionally, Old Testament theology teaches our coming Messiah by name (Jesus Christ) as Saviour of the World! This central Christian belief that His explicit purpose on this Earth as sent by God was to die for our sins so that we could live forever with him in Heaven! Jesus is The reason we are Christians! Volumes, or better yet trainloads, of secular & religious historical artifacts support precisely our Christian heritage.

To deny Jesus Christ is to deny Christianity & subsequently Heaven. Better pack your bags. Not long now. b
