Video: How reality changes from Arabic to English (05.11.2002)


MultimediaMideasttruth.com just published a video on how reality changes when Palestinians report events to the Arab world or to the Western Media. The battle of Jenin is described as a hard fight on Palestinian TV, while it is described as a massacre on the Western media.

After the Oslo peace treaty in the beginning of the 90's, the Palestinian Authority was allowed to create a Police force and arm itself accordingly. As part of the same accords, many weapons were defined as illegal. Until a final peace agreement was to be reached, only this Police force was allowed to arm itself. The Palestinian authority accepted this condition when it signed the Oslo peace treaty.

The Islamic Jihad, the Hamas, and other Palestinian terrorist groups completely ignored the treaty and as soon as Israel gave the Palestinians autonomy, they armed themselves as much as possible. Arafat and the Palestinian authority did nothing to stop this illegal buildup of weapons.

The video shows some of the weapons found in dozens of bomb labs in Jenin.

Islamic leader tries to blow up Holocaust Museum in Hungary (04.13.2004)


Palestinian TerrorismThe Jerusalem Post (www.jpost.com) reports that an Imam (Muslim "Priest") in Budapest, Hungary, had plans to blow up a Holocaust Museum:

Police arrested the spiritual leader of a small Islamic community in Budapest Tuesday during a visit President Moshe Katsav and suggested he was planning to bomb the city's Jewish museum. Two Syrians also were detained on related charges. [...]

Police identified the suspect as a 42-year-old dentist of "Palestine origin" and said he was the spiritual leader of a small Islamic community in Budapest. He is a naturalized Hungarian citizen. [...]

The suspect began making phone calls in November to friends "to get explosives," said Petofi. On one occasion "he asked an acquaintance to use the explosive to blow up a Jewish museum," he added. [...]

This year is the 60th anniversary of the deportation of the Hungarian Jews. More than 600,000 Hungarian Jews lost their lives in the last years of the WWII.


A few months ago, U.S. President George Bush called Islam "the religion of peace". When Islamic priests (Imams) spit their venom and hate every Friday across Saudia Arabia, Egypt, and Ramallah, and when one actually tries to destroy a Holocaust Museum, it seems like a part of Islam is more like the religion of hatred, explosives and mass murder.

Palestinian Islamic Jihad murders 15 unarmed civilians (10.22.2002)


Palestinian TerrorismThe Jerusalem Post (www.jpost.com) reports that the Palestinian terrorist group Islamic Jihad blew up a a car stuffed with over 220 pounds of explosives next to a bus in northern Israel, murdering 15 people and wounding over 50. A 2-year-old and a 4-year-old kid are critically injured, still fighting for their lives.



The Palestinian Islamic Jihad
Deliberately murdered 15 people,
trapped inside the bus


"I cannot forget what I saw today people were burned alive inside my bus," said driver Haim Avraham, who escaped with light wounds.

"[The terrorist] drove straight into my fuel tank," he said. "The bus was thrust into the air and I was thrown off my seat by the blast. I got out of the bus as quickly as I could through the front door, together with two or three elderly passengers. I helped drag some wounded people as far away from the bus as possible. [...]

"I saw it all in front of my eyes, from a distance of about 20 meters," he said. "My windscreen shattered and my car burst into flames. I walked away, in shock, until somebody grabbed me and told me to sit down. I was covered in blood."

Dayan's burns and multiple cuts from the broken glass were classified as light wounds. His car was burned completely.


Let's hope the victims recover soon and that the murderers from the Palestinian Islamic Jihad get what they deserve.

I copy the full article below and another article that describes the murders as well.

BBC and NPR lead biased leftist media in anti-Israel reporting (02.11.2004)


Media BiasThe Jerusalem Post (www.jpost.com) reports on how the English BBC and America's NPR lead the leftist media in their anti-Israel reporting:

The BBC is at the forefront of the anti-Israel media pack in Europe. It has been so effective in smearing Israel as a rogue state that in a recent poll, Europeans rated Israel as more dangerous to world peace than Saddam Hussein's Iraq or Iran or North Korea.

The American people so far remain relatively immune to the virus of anti-Western (namely anti-American) propaganda and to plain anti-Semitism masquerading as anti-Zionism. Despite the strenuous efforts of America's leftist elite (who dominate its academia and media) to promote the notion that American imperialists' designs, especially support for Israel, are the reason for all the world's troubles, Americans do not fall for this "blame America and its friends" propaganda. Especially not after 9/11. [...]

However, a majority of Americans – notably the Evangelical churches – have been supporting Israel despite the possible loss of Arab "friendship." They believe this is the moral thing to do, since Israel – like America – promotes freedom and democracy, and that in a region rife with dictatorships and oppression. More recently, many Americans came to appreciate that Israel is a valuable ally in fighting the deadly threat of terrorism directed also at "The Great Satan" – America.

IT IS to undermine this moral status of Israel, indeed its very legitimacy, that its enemies in America are striving. Leading the onslaught is National Public Radio, the BBC's ideological partner.

For a decade, the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA) has been meticulously documenting its charge of "false and inflammatory reporting on Israel" by NPR. CAMERA has exposed many instances of bias, fabrications, and lies employed by NPR and its correspondents (see www.camera.org).


If you haven't already done so, please stop giving money to NPR. Click here to check out an article that describes how NPR reported on an Israeli 7 year-old girl as a "settler", while the Palestinian murderer that shot her in the head is described as a "militant". Next time NPR calls asking you for your yearly/monthly pledge, just say "No".

I copy the full article below, which includes additional specific examples of NPR's bias and hate of Israel.

Why America supports Israel (and vice-versa) (07.24.2003)


OpinionNRO (www.nationalreview.com) has a great article on why America supports Israel:

The terrorist attacks against us on September 11, 2001 taught us a great many lessons. One of the lessons we learned — or relearned — was that democracy is not just disliked by Islamists, it is hated. And one way to give in to terrorism, rather than fight it, is to concur with the basis for that hatred and weaken democratic institutions, and democracies. [...]

In the wake of September 11, many argued that we brought the attack upon ourselves because of our support for Israel. Even were this true, we should no more end that support than we should eliminate religious freedom and women's rights in our country — hallmarks of our democracy that also engage the wrath of the terrorists who attacked us. And it beggars belief to think our support for Israel played much of any part for the attack upon us.

First of all, complaints about Israel ranked low with Osama bin Laden until he realized that ratcheting up those complaints to the top of his list would earn him more support within the Arab world. Second, if Israel is responsible for Islamist or Arabist wrath, I cannot imagine just what Israel did to encourage Syria to swallow Lebanon, to encourage Saddam Hussein to unleash a bloodbath against Iran, to encourage Saddam Hussein to invade Kuwait, to encourage Kuwait to expel hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, to encourage the Taliban to destroy the Bamiyan Buddha statues in Afghanistan, to encourage the slaughter of Christians in the Sudan, to encourage the bombings in Bali that killed 202 people, or to encourage church bombings in Pakistan.


Just after 9/11 a friend of mine, Bill, sent out a message with links to articles that explained "the real reason 9/11 happened", i.e. America's support for Israel. You're wrong Bill, read the whole article below.

Terrorist from the Palestinian Islamic Jihad murders 7-month-old Israeli baby girl (10.01.2003)


Palestinian TerrorismIsrael Insider (www.israelinsider.com) reports that a terrorist from the Palestinian Islamic Jihad has deliberately murdered a 7-month-old Israeli baby girl:



Shaked Avraham, 7 months
murdered by a terrorist from
the Palestinian Islamic Jihad


A terrorist infiltrated the settlement of Negohot in the Hebron Hills through an unfenced area. He knocked on the door of a pre-fab home during the Rosh Hashana meal, after 9 pm. When Eyal Yiberbaum, 27, asked who was there, there was no answer. Finally, after additional knocking, and the sound of a mumbled voice from outside, Yiberbaum opened the door a crack.

The terrorist, armed with an M-16 rifle and four ammunition clips then shot twice, mortally wounding the man, who nevertheless prevented the gunman from entering the house. A reserve soldier in the home pursued the terrorist, as did other soldiers who had been eating the holiday meal in the community's dining hall.

Within two minutes, they had arrived at the scene of the shooting, but in the meantime the terrorist had sprayed gunfire at the surrounding pre-fab homes, penetrating their thin walls with bullets. One of the bullets entered the home he had first attacked, mortally wounding Shaked Avraham, a seven-month-old girl, in her baby carriage. Resuscitation efforts failed.


Don't expect to hear much about the murder of little Shaked in your local news. After all, for media outlets such as NPR, Shaked is just a "settler" (click here for more examples of NPR bias - and please do not give PBS any money).

England, 1189, 30 Jews are killed in London (09.03.2002)


Jewish HistoryThe Jerusalem Post's feature "This day in history" reports on September 3, 1189:

Richard the Lionhearted was crowned at Westminster. He was favorably inclined towards the Jews. Unfortunately, he was influenced by Thomas, a Becket who had a fanatical hatred of them.

During his coronation (from which Jews and women were banned), Baldwin, the Archbishop of Canterbury, convinced Richard not to accept presents from Jewish dignitaries and to evict them from the palace. The crowd took it to mean that the king encouraged persecution of the Jews, and they began rioting against the Jews in London that same day.

The riots soon spread to Norwich, Dunstable and Stamford. In London 30 Jews were killed including Rabbi Jacob of Orleans, a pupil of Rabbenu Tam. Richard did his best to protect the Jews - as long as he was in England.

This day also marked the beginning of the Third Crusade in England under the patronage of King Richard. England, which had taken no real part in the first two crusades, decided to sponsor a crusade joined by France and Germany.

Its goal was to recapture Jerusalem (taken in 1187) but when Frederick Barbarossa accidentally drowned, Philip II of France gave up, and Richard succeeded only in capturing Acre. The Jews of England were the crusade's chief victims.

Delusional bastard from New York calls for the death of America and Israel (06.13.2003)


Hate MailPretty much everyday I receive one or more vicious emails full of hate against me, Israel, the Jews, America, etc…

The overwhelming majority of these emails come from two groups:

1) Arab Muslims who support Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Arafat’s Al-Aksa brigades and any other freak Muslim terrorist group whose stated goal is to murder women and children. For a list of homicide bombings these bastards openly support click here.

2) A Western leftist from France, Germany, England or the United States who support the above excuses for human beings and who have simply become the fascists of the 21st century. Their stated goal is also to destroy Israel and they support the Palestinians, regardless of their actions, even if they are terrorists from Hamas or the Islamic Jihad. May this “Flower Power” choke in its own vomit.

In any case, there’s one idiot who has been sending me messages almost daily. His email address is myquds@hotmail.com and here’s a sample taste of his racism and hate:

I say this before you American , Pissreal , Zionist cowards ....Islam will be the victor . You piggish cowards can't hurt Muslims , Muslims will unite and destroy you ---you filthy animals that belong in cages . America and its allies will be put down as the dogs they are ... Prepare to beg in at the feet of your master Allah you Jewish slaves . By the will of all might lord Allah all Jews , Pissrealis, and Americans will be killed , and sent to hell where those filthy whores belong Insha-Allah . Prepare ..prepare to beg like the dogs you American , Pissreal , Non Muslim cowards are..Hide behind you cowardly gay armies , death to USA ,and Isreal . A day will come when you pathetic Non Muslim cowards will be begging on your knees Allah Howa Akbar Muslims will unite and make you dig your own graves and shoot you in front of your own young ..By the will of all might God Allah You Jewish Zionist American Pissreal Non Muslim cowards will be begging like the filthy whores and dogs you pigs are...


I traced back the message to the IP address 205.184.159.199 which is an ISP in New York. This racist Muslim supporter of terrorism is living in New York!

United Nations ignores the deliberate murder of Israeli children by Arafat's Palestinian terrorists (12.28.2002)


OpinionThe Globe and Mail (www.globeandmail.com) has a good article on how low the United Nations can get:

This year's General Assembly, which ended on Friday, marked a new low in United Nations bias against Jews and the Jewish state. The three resolutions passed in its final days are a disturbing commentary.

On Wednesday, the General Assembly adopted a resolution on Palestinian children. This brings the number of resolutions on the human rights of children to three: one on the rights of the child, one on the "girl child," and one on Palestinian children -- the only children in the world subject to the specific concern of a General Assembly resolution.

With its automatic majority on the Palestinian side of the Arab-Israeli conflict, the General Assembly is able to generate large numbers of resolutions critical only of Israel. The resolution focusing only on Palestinian children, however, is a historic first, and it increases the number of General Assembly resolutions directed annually at Israel to 20. Human-rights situations in the rest of the world drew only six country-specific resolutions this year. There were no resolutions on human rights in such countries as Syria, Saudi Arabia or China.

The draft version of the resolution on Palestinian children was adopted on Nov. 15 by the General Assembly's Third Committee (which deals with social, cultural and humanitarian affairs), in the same week that a Palestinian gunman broke into a home on an Israeli kibbutz and shot to death two children -- Noam, 4, and Matan, 5 -- while their mother, Revital Ohayon, tried to hide them under her body. The al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, linked to Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement, claimed responsibility.

In the past two years, Palestinian terrorists have repeatedly targeted Israeli children. On April 27, gunmen broke into a home west of Hebron, found five-year-old Danielle Shefi hiding under her parents' bed and shot her in the head. On May 9, 2001, Israeli students Kobi Mandell, 13, and Yossi Ish-Ran, 14, were stoned to death and their bodies mutilated in a cave south of Jerusalem. Palestinian suicide bombers have directed attacks at places where children gather, such as buses, discos and pizza parlours.

More than 100 Israeli children have been murdered and 900 wounded or maimed in the past two years alone. The General Assembly resolution, however, neither expressed concern nor made any mention of Israeli children.


The UN makes me sick. I copy the full article below.

Palestinian homicide bomber murders 63-year-old Israeli grandfather (06.19.2003)


Palestinian TerrorismIsrael Insider (www.israelinsider.com) reports that a Palestinian homicide bomber blew himself up murdering a 63 year-old Israeli grandfather:

A suicide bomber detonated a bag of explosives early Thursday morning in a grocery store located in Moshav Sde Trumot, in the Beit Shean Valley. Avner Mordechai, 63, the owner of the store, was critically injured in the blast, and later died of his injuries. Security forces are searching for the bomber's accomplices, who may have driven him to the site. [...]

Eyewitnesses spotted the suspicious young Palestinian, carrying a large bag, near a bus stop outside the grocery store. Sde Trumot resident Asher Ben-Mussa, who left the grocery store minutes before the attack, said the Palestinian was wearing jeans and carrying a Nike bag. "He looked me in the eyes and then entered the grocery store," Ben-Mussa told Army Radio.

"The suicide bomber came near the store with plans to wait for a bus or for a larger crowd," said Israel Police Northern Commander Yaakov Borovsky. "He never planned to enter the grocery store."

Anti-Semitism in the San Francisco Bay Area (05.15.2002)


Anti-SemitismJust found an article on the New York Post that describes the outbreak of anti-Semitism in the San Francisco Bay Area.

"Since the start of the year, there have been 50 documented cases of anti-Semitic acts in and around the Bay Area. That is more than three times as many as in all of 2001."

"There have been serious arson attempts on two synagogues. One temple, in Berkeley, would have been destroyed had a neighbor not spotted the fire on the roof. Another, in San Francisco, was pelted with Molotov cocktails"

As I live my life in the Bay Area, I don't really see this anti-Semitism - it is not omnipresent. But that's simply because there's no external sign that clearly defines me as a Jew. If I wore a Jewish ritual skullcap, I would certainly not feel safe walking around the Bay Area, especially in Berkeley.

Letter from an Israeli soldier to his parents (11.22.2002)


VictimsLt. Dan Cohen was one of the soldiers killed by Palestinian terrorists in Hebron last week (click here for more details). His parents have found the following farewell letter:

”Does one human being have a purpose?

The world exists for something that has yet to come, that is yet to happen, and every one of us is an essential part of the development of the world and of humanity with a view to that exalted something.

Therefore, what is required of everyone, and in actual fact the purpose of life, is to be a part of the puzzle in the best way he can. This means that someone who walks the path of the religious Jew must carry out the Jewish religion in the most effective way so as to make the generations that follow better than him, by influencing his descendants and his environment.

I must belong to the part that is meant to influence its environment, and you belong to the part that influenced (as in influence and in abundance [same root in Hebrew – I.J.]) its descendants. I just wanted to tell you that I am quite happy/contented with what I have accomplished in the limited time frame allotted to me, and that I feel that I was a quite good “Shofar” [traditional: a ram’s horn used in Jewish rituals; here used figuratively, meaning mouthpiece – I.J.] for the way you educated me and that I can’t think of a better way to bring up a child than the way you brought me up (well, maybe you spoiled me a bit…).

In my meager experience I have seen that the people who usually break in an irreparable way as a result of bereavement, are the people who have some feelings of guilt. Although you have no reason, I know you well enough (especially Mom), to know that you may regret some things that you did or didn’t do, that you said or didn’t say. I just wanted you to know that you really did do everything right, and besides short breaks, I have been happy/contented for over twenty years, and I just want to say thank you!

Danny”


Thanks to Imshin for the translation. May God bless his memory.

Delusional Islamic Supremacist wishes to commit genocide against the "Jewish Nation" (12.19.2003)

Palestinian terrorists from the Islamic Jihad murder 4 Israelis (12.27.2002)


Palestinian TerrorismThe Jerusalem Post (www.jpost.com) reports that Palestinian terrorists from the Islamic Jihad deliberately murdered four Israelis that were celebrating the Sabbath, having dinner:

Two Palestinian gunmen infiltrated into the West Bank settlement of Otniel, south of Hebron on Friday night and opened fire killing four people and wounding seven, the IDF said. The Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the attack.

According to a report on Channel 1 television the terrorists entered the dining hall of a yeshiva (Jewish seminary) just after 8:00 PM as the students were sitting down to Friday night Sabbath dinner and opened fire.

At least one of the gunmen was killed by troops who arrived at the scene and security forces are searching for the second who is believed to be hiding in a building on the settlement or may have fled the scene.

Residents were asked to remain in their houses. [...]

A spokesman for the Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the attack, Israel Radio reported. The spokesman did not name the attackers but promised to do so later.


Update: Soldiers from the Nahal brigade and IDF trackers found the second terrorist, who had fled from Otniel after the attack, and killed him, Israel Radio reported.

Palestinian TerrorismThe Jerusalem Post (www.jpost.com) reports that a Palestinian terrorist has blown himself up inside an Israeli bus, deliberately murdering 15 people and wounding over 30:




Most of the 15 people murdered in this homicide bombing
were teenage students and IDF members


A suicide bomber ripped apart an Egged bus in the northern coastal city of Haifa on Wednesday killing 15 people and wounding more than 30, police and rescue officials said. [...]

For hours after the attack, television stations showed heart-rending scenes from the blast site of Israelis coming to search for next of kin they feared were on the bus. One man found that two high school boys, at least one of whom was his son, were wounded, Channel 2 television reported. [...]

One witness reported terrible scenes of body parts strewn across the street and bodies still in the wreckage of the bus. Residents said that many windows of buildings nearby were shattered.


Palestinian killers from the terrorist groups Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Arafat's Al-Aksa brigades have deliberately murdered hundreds of men, women and children since October 2000.
