The Arab-Israeli 'conflict' for Dummies...



Why those people who support Palestinians in Gaza are uninformed, misguided, and also support organized terrorism, revisionist history, death, darkness and ignorance:

Hamas (looks like a nice bunch of guys, eh?)
1.  The citizens of Gaza democratically elected Hamas -- an internationally recognized terrorist organization -- to govern them.  These civilians are thus not 'inncocent' of anything.   

2.  There never was a 'Palestinian' state -- ever.  And the concept of a 'right of return' is thus not based in any historical fact whatsoever.  For a more thorough explanation of this truth, I encourage you to read this:  The Middle East 'Problem'

3.  One of the publicly stated mottoes of Hamas, translated into English, is this:  "We love death as much as Jews love life."  The official Hamas charter can be found here (I encourage you to read it):  Hamas Covenant 1988, The Covenant of the Islamic Resistance Movement.

4.  Not one of the twenty-two Arab countries in the world -- many with plentiful land and incredible oil wealth -- is willing to take in the Palestinian Arabs of Gaza.  Not one.

5.  The one Jewish state in the world -- Israel -- is the size of New Jersey.  Yet, it is still willing to give the Palestinians a significant portion of its land. The only requirement is that the Palestinians officially agree to stop sending rockets into Israel and to formally recognize Israel's right to simply exist.  The large majority of Palestinians routinely refuse to do this, made clearly evident by the fact that they democratically elected Hamas to govern them.  And, again, in case you forgot, the stated aim of Hamas is to destroy Israel along with all of it's millions of Jewish inhabitants.

6.  In 1948, the UN officially designated Israel as a Jewish state.  For a brief historical primer, please visit this website:  U.S. Department of State, Office of the Historian.  The first line on that particular webpage reads as follows:  "On May 14, 1948, David Ben-Gurion, the head of the Jewish Agency, proclaimed the establishment of the State of Israel. U.S. President Harry S. Truman recognized the new nation on the same day."  

7.  If Hamas laid down its weapons, there would be no more war.  If Israel laid down its arms, the following would immediately occur:  Hamas, Hezbollah and the other innumerable terrorist organizations in and around Gaza and the surrounding Arab countries would immediately seek to destroy Israel.

8.  The textbooks used to educated Palestinian school-children demonize the Jewish people and teach them to seek to murder all of the world's Jewish population.

9.  The Jewish people in Israel and around the world are 'guilty' of this -- and this has remained unchanged for over 5,000 years:  they are 'guilty' of wanting to be left alone to live in peace.  They are guilty of wanting to educate their children.  They are guilty of disproportionately being the wealthiest, smartest, most productive contributors to civilization in the history of humanity.  They are guilty of simply surviving.  They are guilty of cherishing life.  And for these things, the world's Arab population wishes to annihilate them due to jealousy, ignorance, poverty, lack of education, and a uniquely gifted pre-disposition to being the most impossibly ungovernable people in the world.  

10.  All of this information is undisputed by any rational, informed human being on the planet, and has been for years.  It's not complicated.  Some people like to think it's complicated in order to justify their support of the dead, 'innocent' Palestinian 'civilians.'  But, remember, the dead 'innocents' are not innocent at all -- they elected Hamas to govern them.  And, in return, Hamas uses them as human shields to protect their rockets -- in schools, hospitals and mosques.  This is undisputed by all sides and is publicly known information.  It's been this way forever.

As Benjamin Netanyahu simply stated, once again, as he always does -- if Hamas stopped fighting, there would be no more war.  If Israel stopped 'fighting,' there would be no more Israel.

Again, this is not complicated.  Christ.  A child could understand this.  Seriously.
