Do You Know..??
- THAT, when the Palestine Problem was
created by Britain in 1917, more than 90% of the population of
Palestine were Arabs? And that there were at that time no more than
56,000 Jews in Palestine?
- THAT, more than half of the Jews
living in Palestine at that time were recent immigrants, who had come
to Palestine in the preceding decades in order to escape persecution
in Europe? And that less than 5% of the population of Palestine were
native Palestinian Jews?
- THAT, the Arabs of Palestine at that
time owned 97.5% of the land, while Jews (native Palestinians and
recent immigrants together) owned only 2.5% of the land?
- THAT, during the thirty years of
British occupation and rule, the Zionists were able to purchase only
3.5% of the land of Palestine, in spite of the encouragement of the
British Government? And that much of this land was transferred to
Zionist bodies by the British Government directly, and was not sold by
Arab owners?
- THAT, therefore, when British passed
the Palestine Problem to the United Nations in 1947, Zionists owned no
more than 6% of the total land area of Palestine?
- THAT, notwithstanding these facts,
the General Assembly of the United Nations recommended that a "Jewish
State" be established in Palestine? And that the Assembly granted that
proposed "State" about 54% of the total area of the country?
- THAT, Israel immediately occupied
80.48% of the total land area of Palestine.
- THAT, this territorial expansion
took place, for the most part, before 15 May 1948: i.e., before the
formal end of the British forces from Palestine, before the entry of
Arab armies to protect Palestinian Arabs, and before the Arab-Israeli
war?
- THAT, the 1947 recommendation of the
General Assembly in favor of the creation of a "Jewish State" was
outside the competence of the Assembly under the Charter of the United
Nations?
- THAT, all attempts by the Arab
States and other Asian countries to have The Assembly submit the
question of "constitutionality" of its recommendation to the
International Court of Justice for an "advisory opinion" by the Court
were rejected or ignored by the Assembly?
- THAT, when the Assembly began to
experience "second thoughts" over the matter and convened for its
second special session in 1948, it failed to reaffirm the 1947
recommendation for the partition of Palestine-thus destroying whatever
dubious legality that recommendation for the establishment of a
"Jewish State" had?
- THAT, that original 1947
recommendation to create a "Jewish State" in Palestine was approved,
at the first vote, only by European, American and Australian States
for every Asian State, and every African State (with the exception of
the Union of South Africa) voted against it? And that, when the vote
was cast in plenary session on 29 November 1947, urgent American
pressures (which a member of the Truman cabinet described as
"bordering onto scandal") had succeeded in prevailing only upon one
African country (Liberia), both of which had special vulnerability to
American pressures, to abandon there declared opposition? And that, in
other words, the "Jewish State" was planted at the
point-of-intersection of Asia and Africa without the free approval of
any Middle Eastern, Asian or African country except that Union of
South Africa, itself ruled by an alien minority?
- THAT, Israel remained, ever since
its inception, a total stranger in the emerging world of Afro-Asia;
and that Israel has been refused admission to any inter-state
conference of Asian, African, Afro-Asian, or Non-Aligned States ever
held?
- THAT, since the General Armistice
Agreements were signed in 1949, Israel has maintained an aggressive
policy of waging military attacks across the Armistice Demarcation
Lines, repeatedly invading the territories of the neighboring Arab
States and that Israel has been duly rebuked, censured, or condemned
for these military attacks by the Security Council of the General
Assembly of the United Nations on eleven occasions-five times by the
Security Council and six times by the General Assembly?
- THAT, no other country in the world,
whether member of the United Nations or non-member has been so
frequently condemned by the United Nations?
- THAT, no Arab State has ever been
condemned by any organ of the United Nations for military attacks upon
Israel (or any other State)?
- THAT, besides expelling the bulk of
the Arab inhabitants of Palestine, and besides constantly attacking
the neighboring Arab States, Israel has also consistently harassed the
United Nations observers and other personnel stationed along the
Armistice Demarcation Lines: It has assassinated the first United
Nations Mediator and his military aide; it has detained some truce
Observers; it has military occupied and illegally searched the
Headquarters of United Nations personnel; and it has boycotted
meetings of the Mixed Armistice Commissions?
- THAT, Israel has additionally
imposed a system of apartheid upon the Arabs who stayed in their
homeland? More than 90% of these Arabs live in "security zones;" they
alone live under martial law, restricting their freedom to travel from
village to village or from town to town; their children are denied
equal opportunities for education; and they are denied decent
opportunities for work, and the right to receive "equal pay for equal
work?"
- THAT, notwithstanding the foregoing
facts, Israel has always been, and still is, widely portrayed in the
Western press as the "bastion of democracy" and the "champion of
peace" in the Middle East?
- THAT, the Western Powers have
persisted in declaring their determination to ensure a so-called "arms
balance" in the area, as between Israel, on the one hand, and the
two-hundred million inhabitants of the Arab States, on the other hand?
And this unilateral Western doctrine of so-called "arms balance" is no
more reasonable than the suggestion that, in the Cuba-U.S.A conflict,
there should be "arms balance" as between Cuba and the United States
or that the whole Continent of Africa should not be allowed to acquire
more arms than South Africa or that Mainland China should not be
permitted to have more arms than Taiwan or that the military allowed
to acquire more arms than South Africa and that only thus can peace be
safeguarded in the Western Hemisphere, in Africa, in Asia, or in
Europe.
- THAT, non-Jewish Israelis cannot buy
or lease land in the Zionist entity?
- THAT, Palestinian license plates in
Zionist entity are color coded to distinguish jews from non-jews?
- THAT, Israel allots 85% of the water
resources for jews and the remaining 15% is divided among all
Palestinians in the territories? For example in Hebron, 85% of the
water is given to about 400 settlers, while 15% must be divided among
Hebron's 120,000 Palestinians?
- THAT, the United States awards the
israel $5 billion in aid each year?
- THAT, yearly US aid to israel
exceeds the aid the US grants to the whole African continent?
- THAT, the israel is the only country
in the Middle East that has nuclear weapons?
- THAT, the israel is the only country
in the Middle East that refuses to sign the nuclear non-proliferation
treaty and bars international inspections from its sites?
- THAT, israel currently occupies
territories of two sovereign nations (Lebanon and Syria) in defiance
of United Nations Security Council resolutions?
- THAT, israel has for decades
routinely sent assassins into other countries to kill its political
enemies?
- THAT, high-ranking military officers
in the israeli Defense Forces have admitted publicly that unarmed
prisoners of war were executed by the IDF?
- THAT, israel refuses to prosecute
its soldiers who have acknowledged executing prisoners of war?
- THAT, israel routinely confiscates
bank accounts, businesses, and land and refuses to pay compensation to
those who suffer the confiscation?
- THAT, israel blew up an American
diplomatic facility in Egypt and attacked a U.S. ship in international
waters, killing 33 and wounding 177 American sailors?
- THAT, the second most powerful lobby
in the United States, according to a recent Fortune magazine survey of
Washington insiders, is the jewish AIPAC?
- THAT, israel stands in defiance of
69 United Nations Security Council Resolutions?
- THAT, today's israel sits on the
former sites of more than 400 now-vanished Palestinian villages, and
that the israeli's re-named almost every physical site in the country
to cover up the traces?
- THAT, it was not until 1988 that
israelis were barred from running "jews Only" job ads?
- THAT, four prime ministers of israel
(Begin, Shamir, Rabin, and Sharon) have taken part in either bomb
attacks on civilians, massacres of civilians, or forced expulsions of
civilians from their villages?
- THAT, the israeli Foreign Ministry
pays two American public relations firms to promote israel to
Americans?
- THAT, Sharon's coalition government
includes a party -- Molodet -- which advocates expelling all
Palestinians from the occupied territories?
- THAT, israel's settlement-building
increased in the eight years since Oslo?
- THAT, settlement building under
Barak doubled compared to settlement building under Netanyahu?
- THAT, israel once dedicated a
postage stamp to a man who attacked a civilian bus and killed several
people?
- THAT, recently-declassified
documents indicate that David Ben-Gurion in at least some instances
approved of the expulsion of Palestinians in 1948?
- THAT, despite a ban on torture by
israel's High Court of Justice, torture has continued by Shin Bet
interrogators on Palestinian prisoners?
- THAT, Palestinian refugees make up
the largest portion of the refugee population in the world?
And finally, Do you
know who is the terrorist now?

since the beginning of the Intifada as a collective
punishment to the Palestinians. |
