This article is a continuation that exposes the disturbing lies that the state of Israel and the Zionists circulate to justify the occupation of the Palestinian people to the rest of the world. Israel is guilty of creating falsehoods in its history; many lies and myths have been created and through their repetition, religious misconception and justification, they have been promoted in order to justify the terrorist actions committed by the state of Israel for over 60 years.

 

It is important to highlight just some of these blatant lies which are damaging to Palestinians and their right to live a normal life. Moreover a cursory view of such fabrications will expose the Zionist racist ideology that has plagued the Palestinians for the last 60 years.

7. The SEVENTH lie…Zionism vs. Israel

Criticism of Israel or Zionism is deemed anti-Semitism. Criticizing a country because of its ‘faith’ in Zionism is wrong.

However the FACT is...

That anti-Zionism is overly equated with anti-Semitism for a very practical reason.

Its simple function is in making those people who criticize Israel and the actions it takes, (even if they are gross human rights abuses) to be easily and wrongly accused of being anti-Semitic. Anti Semitic being a term used best to describe hostility to ALL Jews collectively.

This simple conflation between the religion Judaism, that suffered greatly, and a movement as Zionism, that inflicts the same form of suffering on another people, is used and abused many times to mask the real agenda of Zionism.

The accusation of Anti-Semitism helps silence those that speak up for the Palestinians, and instills fear into others to prevent them from speaking out as well.

In reality, Anti-Zionism is the opposition to Zionism, which is an international political movement for the creation of an exclusively Jewish state in the land of Palestine. This in turn is a state that is discriminatory and racist towards all non-Jews, especially the native Palestinians, who are not all Muslims.

The reprimand of Israel as a country is not anti-Semitic

8. The EIGHT lie…Neighbours Threaten Israel’s Existence

Miniature Israel and its existence is in constant threat from the Arab countries that surround it. The implication is that all Arab’s or Muslims may well be anti-Semitic; therefore inhumane.

However the FACT is...

That the Arab Peace Initiative adopted by the Arab Summit in Beirut, 2002 states

The Arab nations are willing to fully recognise Israel if:-

• Israel honours her international obligations and returns to her June 4th, 1967 borders.
• Israel agrees to the UN Resolution to a just settlement on the issue of "Right of Return" of Palestinian refugees.
• Israel completes the UN Resolution 242 and 338 so that a viable Palestinian state consisting of East Jerusalem, West Bank and Gaza can be created.

The Arabs here are being very generous as they are allowing Israel to keep illegally acquired territories from 1948 - 1967. In return they are offering full trade and peace agreements with Israel with no strings attached.

Unfortunately Israel has refused this peace initiative and many others with it.

Truth: Israel’s existence is NOT under attack by its neighbours.

In fact Israel’s military strength is vastly superior and far outweighs the Arabs and that Israel indeed has started wars against the Arabs.

There is no doubt over the fact that Israel can defeat all the Arab armies combined, and the disproportion of this power puts Israel at an advantage, especially after the 1st and 2nd Gulf Wars. Shockingly the Israeli army is ranked the 4th most powerful army in the world - helped by the obscene amount of military aid America gives to Israel each year.
