Not Land Promised by God

Let's deal with some myths about Israel.

"The Arab position, reflected in their expressly non-negotiable "peace plan," is that Israel, and not the Arab countries who waged war against Israel in 1948..."

This perpetutes the myth.
According to historians and the evidence, this was a hoax perpetrated by Israeli Radio Broadcasts. No threats have been shown to originate from Egypt. These broadcasts preceded genocide, and clearance of the land of of Palestinians. These are facts.

"For the Arabs who call themselves "Palestinians" as well as most other Arab"

Palestinians, strictly speaking aren't Arabs, They are semetic people, yes.

"It also must be said that most Israelis, like Americans, Europeans, and other citizens of free countries, are concerned primarily with succeeding in their own lives. They have limited interest in the fate of the Palestinians, except when it is forced upon them in the evening news"

In Britain, it is concerned people who lead in the news reporting, not newspapers or journalists. In fact we, are concerned with truth as a basis for peace; The view put forward above is merely to silence the voice of concerned and informed people. It is to suggest that we are powerless, and selfish. In Britain , the general view is, that Israel is not a legitimate state; legitimacy, based upon a claim upon God's word, is not accepted. Nor is the source for that statement, which appears in Rabbinical writings, not revealed scripture.

Also, we view the insistence upon a 'Jewish' state of israel to be meaningless if it were to include muslims free to practice and be involved in government. We cannot understand such divisions, when we are the children of the same one god. We are also aware that, Palestine was a peaceful home for Jews prior to the European incursions, and even then, to begin with, they were welcomed and helped. We are also aware that 'Jew' is rather a modern term, and in fact the religion of 'jews' refers to Pharisees.
Of those Pharisees, most were to be found living peacefully inn their own villages in Ottoman lands, including Palestine.
