Really, when I first started posting on these forums, I was struck by the fact that the pro-Israel side put up arguments that were stupid and deranged, whereas the pro-Palestinians dealt in facts.
Here are a few of the kinds of facts the pro-Palestinian side "deals with":
1). Israel must be
destroyed violently (PLO and Hamas charter. etc., etc., etc.)
2). All Jews must be
destroyed in Jihad (Hamas charter).
3). Jews in "occupied Palestine" since the "illegal" Balfur declaration (1917) must be expelled (PLO charter).
4). The so-called Oslo "peace" agreement is merely a Trojan horse, an attempt to put into motion the "staged plan" for Israel's destruction (Arafat in many interviews, PA's Lebanese ambassador, etc., etc.)
5). The
holocaust never happened (Hamas TV, Egyptian UN officials, Iran, etc., etc., etc.)
6). Children should be taught the greatest thing to be is a suicide bomber who kills Jews (Hamas TV, PA TV's "Sesame Street")
7). Jews, the brothers of
apes and pigs, are naturally the cause of swine flu (Hamas TV).
8). The goals of the wars against Israel was to destroy it and throw the Jews into the sea.
9). There have been over a thousand deaths, and thousands wounded, by Arafat's 'peace partners', the PA, in a terror war against Israel he launched in 2001 after he was offered a Palestinian state, a war long in planning.
10). Every bit of land ceded to the Palestinians simply turned into a terror base for further attacks on Israel.
11).
Arafat was murdered by Israel -- by some
curious coincidence, Israel is seen as a large-nosed ultra-orthodox Jew, as it is usually portrayed in Palestinian caricatures, in case it isn't portrayed as the hooked-nosed
devil or an octopus or a ritual murderer. All of which are motifs straight out of the classical antisemitic cartoons. But hey, they're "just anti-Zionists, not antisemites". Right.
12).
The protocols of the Elders of Zion are true.
13). Israel wants to rule the world from the
Nile to the Euphrates.
14).
Virgins greet suicide bombers in paradise (hey, it's true! It's on TV!) -- courtesy of the "moderate" Fatah, of course.
Etc., etc., etc. I could go on almost literally
ad infinitum.
Care to deal with such facts, Dr.? They all point in one direction: the Arab goal, and more specifically the Palestinian goal, is Israel's destruction -- by one Jihad, if possible, but by stages, if necessary.
