It is amazing the light that declassified documents bring to move back the darkness of lies.
I was reading an essay by Ted Belman of Israpundit in which he utilizes sources that have examined declassified documents from the UK which demonstrate the Israeli modern heritage that began in 1948 is being compromised by the West (especially America) to the undeserving favor of Arabs that call themselves Palestinians.
In essence every point the Western supported Islamofascist thugocracy terrorist government syndicate known as the Palestine Authority is based on a lie.
I feel in my heart (because I have no proof that I know to access) that the West is turning anti-Israel (and in some cases anti-Semitic) and pro-Palestinian Authority because of the enormous influence that Islamic nations with oil now hold over the West. It is an influence based on economics, which in stable political times is a greater weapon than a military arsenal.
Before World War II there is no way the Western Nations would allow third rate medieval governed nations to pull the purse strings of power. The Europeans especially would have sent there various national military armada and demand this is how it is going to work to keep the Western economies moving.
Leftists and third rate nations call this imperialism; I call it protecting the National Interests and National Security of the constituent populations which the Western governments represent.
The modern West views using force or war as a political weapon as repugnant because of the weariness of nearly a century plus of internecine wars in the West; thus when the National Interests (the secure well-being and domestic prosperity) of its citizens are threatened by medieval notions Dar al-Islam and Sharia Law the West looks the other way and makes self-loathing excuses for the brutality and designs of oil empowered Islamic Culture.
Once powerful nations of Western Europe are beginning to feel the squeeze of Islamic Culture sucking the life force of Western Culture from it soul.
America is in the early stages of this Islamic Culture sucking. Europe is often called Eurabia today. Will there be a time when America’s heritage of Christian influence, Liberty, Freedom, Domestic Tranquility, the Pursuit of Happiness and so forth will nullified by a term such as Amerarabia?
Polls conducted by Arabs that call themselves Palestinians and polls conducted by Israelis demonstrate that a majority of these Palestine Authority Arabs support terrorism against Israel while the Israeli polls show that a majority of Israelis want to stop further withdrawals from Judea/Samaria (the West Bank).
So someone in the West tell me again how creating a sovereign Palestinian State will bring peace to the Middle East.

The foolishness of Arab appeasers at the reception of distorted half truths from the Arab sympathetic Mainstream Media (MSM) always makes Israel the villain when so-called Arab civilian casualties occur when Israel defends itself from attacks Jew hating Arab terrorists who call themselves Palestinians.
Evelyn Gordon writing for the Jerusalem Post reveals the full story that the MSM and Palestinian propagandists leave out.

Civil Fights: The canard of 'disproportionate force'
Mar 5, 2008 21:35 | Updated Mar 6, 2008 14:44
International denunciations of Israel came thick and fast this week. The EU's rotating president, Slovenia, condemned the "disproportionate use of force by the Israeli Defense Forces against the Palestinian population in Gaza." UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon slammed Israel's "excessive and disproportionate" response to Palestinian rocket attacks. Even the US State Department urged Israel to "exercise caution to avoid the loss of innocent life," which is merely a milder version of the same premise: that Israel is to blame for all Palestinian civilian casualties, either because it uses "disproportionate force" or because it exercises insufficient "caution." Yet media reports on the fighting in Gaza reveal that in fact, the blame frequently lies with Palestinian behavior.
Take, for example, an Israeli air strike that killed two Palestinian teenagers last Wednesday. According to The New York Times, "witnesses in Gaza told the Palestinian news media that the civilians were hit while standing at a launching site watching Hamas militants firing rockets." There can be no more justified military activity than targeting terrorists in the very act of firing rockets at civilians. If that is "disproportionate," all military activity is. Moreover, since Hamas eschews uniforms, the IDF has no way to distinguish rocket crews from civilians who are cheering them on. Thus any civilian who rubbernecks at a rocket launch is clearly and deliberately putting himself in danger - which in itself should absolve Israel of responsibility.
BUT MORE importantly, for that very reason, most armed forces do not allow civilians in firing zones. The IDF, for instance, generally declares active combat areas "closed military zones" from which Israeli civilians are legally barred, and it enforces such orders. Other Western armies do the same.
But Hamas needs civilian casualties to fuel Palestinian and international anger at Israel. So rather than barring civilians from its launch zones, it welcomes them. And if they do not volunteer for the victim's role, it co-opts them - as happened last weekend: "Palestinian gunmen took up positions in homes while the civilians were still inside," Haaretz reported.
Firing back at people who are shooting at you is also clearly legitimate military activity; no law of war obligates soldiers to let themselves be mown down without a fight just because there are civilians nearby. Moreover, soldiers have no way of knowing whether the civilians have fled or are still inside a house; all they can be certain of is the presence of gunmen.
Under such circumstances, civilian casualties are inevitable. But those casualties are not caused by "disproportionate force" or insufficient "caution"; they are the direct result of Hamas's decision to use civilian homes, with the people still inside, as bases for targeting Israeli soldiers.
Moreover, civilians are not always innocent. Those whose homes were invaded by Hamas were presumably unwilling hostages. But some Palestinians voluntarily serve as "human shields" for terrorists - and by actively aiding and abetting terror, they turn themselves into combatants.
In one widely publicized case in November 2006, for instance, the IDF, seeking to avoid civilian casualties, announced two planned air strikes 30 minutes in advance to enable civilians to leave. Instead, Hamas used the loudspeakers of local mosques to urge civilians to flood the area and serve as human shields. Hundreds did so, and the IDF - precisely because Israel tries to avoid civilian casualties - consequently aborted the strikes. Yet these civilians were hardly "innocent": They deliberately intervened in an armed conflict on the terrorists' behalf.
What is most noteworthy about such incidents, however, is what they say about the Palestinian claim - mindlessly parroted by the international community - that the IDF fires indiscriminately, without regard for civilians. In fact, Hamas summoned civilian reinforcements precisely because it knew a civilian presence would prevent the air strikes. And the civilians came for the same reason - not because they sought death, but because they knew the IDF would not shoot them.
IN ANOTHER incident that same month, hundreds of Palestinian women purposely entered a combat zone to shield gunmen besieged by IDF soldiers. Again, they were deliberately abetting combatants. And again, they knew they could do so safely, because the IDF would not shoot them. And indeed, the soldiers held their fire as the wanted men escaped by mingling with the crowd.
In July 2006, The New York Times described another Gaza battle as follows: "[Israeli] soldiers fired at groups of armed Palestinians who fought in the streets, sometimes surrounded by curious and excited children." Why any parent would let his children outside during a gunfight is a mystery. But unless these parents were deliberately sacrificing their children for propaganda purposes, such behavior demonstrates a truly extraordinary faith in the IDF's efforts to avoid harming civilians.
Contrast this with Palestinians' behavior when the combatants are not Israelis. During last May's Hamas-Fatah infighting, for instance, the Times reported: "The streets of Gaza City were empty except for the gunmen, with shops shuttered and residents remaining indoors, usually in interior rooms farthest from the windows." No "curious and excited" children surrounding the gunmen in these battles: Gazan parents who trusted the IDF with their children's lives evidently placed no similar reliance on Palestinian forces.
THE MEDIA reports above, and numerous others like them, make three things clear: (1) Palestinians know full well that Israel strives to avoid civilian casualties; indeed, as their behavior demonstrates, they count on this. (2) Palestinian civilians frequently deliberately put themselves in the line of fire - either to help the combatants, or, like those "excited children," merely to cheer them on. (3) Palestinian terror groups deliberately foster casualties among their own civilians: Not only do they not discourage civilians from entering combat zones; they force them to do so - for instance, by invading civilian homes - when there are no volunteers.
In short, Palestinian civilian casualties usually result not from "disproportionate force" or "insufficient caution" by the IDF, but from Palestinian behavior, on the part of both civilians and terrorists.
But of course, realizing this would require actually reading reports of the fighting. It is much easier just to skim the headlines and issue stock condemnations of Israel.

Yehuda Dramain has posted a similar treatise of The Land of Israel and its uncontested Capital Jerusalem in at least two Jewish Publications: YnetNews.com and Jewish Russian Telegraph. I know little of Dramain except for her obvious passion for the Land Israel.
Dramain sent this post to SlantRight.com via the Comment/Contact link and I happy to post it for her (I think it’s a “her.” I am not good on Jewish gender names)
This is a brilliant compilation of the reason that Jerusalem should not be divided and traditional Israeli land given to Arabs that call themselves Palestinians for a sovereign nation. Man you HAVE TO READ IT!
Thank you Yehuda Dramain.
Rachel Neuwirth writes of the absurd demand of the Arab “Right of Return” to homes in Israel proper which were abandoned during the 1948 War in which Arabs attempted to drive Jews into the sea and end Israel before it tangibly become a sovereign nation. Of course that failed and with the odds against the Jews, Israel was victorious. That was the hand of God, i.e. the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; not the god of Mohammed and the lineage he extrapolates from Abraham and Ishmael as told by an angel of light (deception or psychosis) known as Gabriel.
I am glad that Neuwirth has extrapolated the truth of the Arab flight out of Israel, because until this essay the only bold scenario I have read is from the much maligned Masada 2000 website. (It is maligned because of an extremism of a past hit list against anti-Zionist sources.) Regardless of the extremism of the website in anger, its history is spot on. Neuwirth provides a moderate voice (though obviously slanted toward Israel) that enumerates the facts the contradict Arab and Palestinian lies.
The pure fact of the matter the aggressors were expelled from Israel, it was not some sort of ethnic cleansing as Arabs that call themselves Palestinians would have Western suckers believe. Indeed I believe the Arab refugees dubbed Palestinians should be forced out of the West Bank and Gaza and the land merged into sovereign Israel. Let the Arab nations deal with the problem they created in 1948 by repatriating Arabs that were encouraged to flee under the false assumption the heavy odds of superior Arab numbers would obliterate Jews and Israel.
