The facts support the claim by the Jews to the land of Israel

Here are 20 conveniently overlooked facts that give some perspective to the current Middle East situation. These were compiled by a Christian university professor…..

1. Israel became a nation in 1312 B.C.E., TWO thousand years before the RISE of Islam.
2. Arab refugees began identifying themselves as PART of a Palestinian people in 1967, TWO decades AFTER the establishment of the modern STATE of Israel.
3. Since the Jewish conquest in 1272 B.C.E, the Jews had dominion OVER the LAND for ONE thousand years with a continuous PRESENCE in the LAND for the past 3,300 years.

4. The ONLY Arab domination SINCE the conquest in 635 C.E. lasted no more than 22 YEARS.
5. For over 3,300 years, Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital. Jerusalem has NEVER been the capital of any ARAB or MUSLIM entity. Even when the Jordanians occupied Jerusalem, they never sought to make it their capital, and Arab leaders did not come to visit.
6. Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 hundred times in Bible. Jerusalem is NOT mentioned ONCE in the Koran.
7. King David founded the city of Jerusalem. Mohammed NEVER CAME to Jerusalem.
8. Jews pray FACING Jerusalem. Muslims pray with their BACKS toward Jerusalem.
9. Arab and Jewish refugees: Arabs were NOT driven out of their homes. Following the UN decision on Partition in 1948, the Arab refugees were encouraged to leave Israel by Arab leaders, promising to purge the land of Jews. They argued that an “Arab presence” would only get in the way of the planned devastation. Sixty-eight percent left without ever seeing an Israeli soldier.
10. The Jewish refugees were forced to flee from Arab lands due to Arab brutality, persecution and pogroms [extermination of ethnic group especially Jews in Russia].
11. The number of Arab refugees who left Israel in 1948 is estimated to be around 630,000. The number of Jewish refugees absorbed by Israel from Arab countries is estimated to be the same.
12. Arab refugees were INTENTIONALLY NOT absorbed or integrated into the ARAB LANDS to which they FLED, despite the vast Arab territory. Out of the 100,000,000 refugees since World War II, theirs is the only refugee group in the world that has NEVER been absorbed or integrated into their OWN peoples ‘lands. Jewish refugees were completely absorbed into Israel, a country no larger than the state of New Jersey.
13. The Arabs are represented by eight separate nations, not including the Palestinians. There is only one Jewish nation. The ARAB nations STARTED all FIVE wars and LOST. Israel defended IRSELF each TIME and WON.
14. The P.L.O.’s Charter still calls for the destruction of the state of Israel. Israel has given the Palestinians most of the West Bank and autonomy under the Palestinian Authority, and has supplied their police and security forces with weapons.
15. Under Jordanian rule, Jewish HOLY sites were DESECRATED and the Jews were denied ACCESS to places of worship. Jewish GRAVE markers were used to build public URINALS in occupied Jerusalem. Under Israeli rule, ALL Muslim and Christian sites have been PRESERVED and made accessible to PEOPLE of ALL faiths.
16. The U.N. record on Israel and the Arabs of the 175 Security Council resolutions passed before 1990, 97 were directed against Israel — notwithstanding the fact that the Arabs refused to participate in the 15 nation United Nations Commission of Palestine which recommended partition in 1948 and sought immediately to undo its work by force of arms.
17. Of the 690 General Assembly resolutions voted on before 1990, 429 were directed against Israel.
18. The U.N. was SILENT while 58 Jerusalem Synagogues were destroyed by the Jordanians between 1948 and 1967.
19. The U.N. was SILENT while the Jordanians systematically desecrated the ancient Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives between 1948 and 1967.
20. The U.N. was SILENT while the Jordanians enforced an apartheid-like policy of preventing Jews from visiting the Temple Mount and the Western Wall between 1948 and 1967.

  1. Two additional facts of importance:
    21. Up to at least the early 1900’s, e.g. the Balfour Declaration, etc., the Western nations considered the indigenous/original homeland of the Jewish people to be, in essence, Judea and Samaria. In fact, upon their return to ancient Israel after their exodus from Egypt, the Jewish people first set foot in the Jordan Valley (after crossing the Jordan River) to reestablish their homeland there. The remnants of the altar built there by Joshua stand to this day to remind us of that historic event.
    22. UNSC Resolution 242 affirms that Israel must have secure/defensible borders; not the “Auschwitz borders” that existed prior to the 1967 Six-Day War. Consistent with that, 242 does not require Israel to withdraw from all the territory it liberated in 1967.

  2. The facts and history of the region are easily obtainable and verifiable. However we are dealing with a world now that is not interested in knowing the truth. The United Nations is the culprit that has perpetrated this tragedy since 1948 and I believe they keep hostilities going only to justify their own existance.

  3. “A strict examination of the reports of UNRWA itself will show that the facts of the fraud are essentially not concealed, rendering the misrepresentation in definition and figures are all the more deliberate. It is a misrepresentation that has been publicly exposed by diligent independent investigators. The American writer Martha Gellhorn publicly made these charges. Somewhat earlier, a detailed analysis of every aspect of the problem, the fruits of study year after year, had been published by Dr. Walter Pinner, who was consequently able to confront the international authorities with the fracts and to publish them in two books. (12)

    The UNRWA, disregarding it’s own reports in 1966, set the number of refugees at 1,317,749. In fact, the number of real refugees, as calculated by Dr. Pinner, was 367,000.
    The difference of over 950,000 is roughly made up as follows:

    Unrecorded Deaths: 117,000
    Ex-refugees resettled in 1948 109,000
    Ex-refugees who became self-supporting between 1948 and 1966 (85,000 in Syria, 60,000 in Lebanon, and 80,000 in Jordan) 225,000
    Frontier Villagers in Jordan (nonrefugees) 15,000
    Self-appointed nonrefugees (pre-1948 residents of “West Jordan” and the Gaza strip registered as refugees) 484,000

    Of the real refugees, nearly half were in the Gaza Strip – 155,000 out of 367,000. The reason is simple. Control of the Gaza Strip was in the hands of Egypt, While Jordan, Leganon and even Syria did not restrict refugees themselves to rehabilitate themselves) provided they did not give up their status as “refugees”)(13) the Egyptian authorities maintained a strict separation between “refugees” and the ordinary population of the area. The Gaza Strip, wrote Martha Gellhorn, “is not a hell-hole, not a visible disaster. It is worse. It is a jail” (‘Atlantic Monthly,’ October 1961.)

    The outline of the refugee problem is sharp and clear cut. Many of them in the parts of western Palestine annexed by Jordan in 1950, in Syria, and in Lebanon, took affairs into their own hands and became more or less self-supporting though, like many hundreds of thousands of their neighbors who had never been refugees in any sense, they continued to supplement their earnings by the free food, free medical supplies, and even the free, if inferior, shelter provided by UNRWA (14).

    The remainder – either unwilling or unable to work or forcibly prevented (in Gaza) from establishing themselves – together with their progeny numbered less than 400,000 on the even of the Six Day War.”

  5. “11. The number of Arab refugees who left Israel in 1948 is estimated to be around 630,000. The number of Jewish refugees absorbed by Israel from Arab countries is estimated to be the same.”

    “The Jewish exodus from the Muslim world was the migration, departure, flight and expulsion of around 900,000 Jews from Arab countries and Iran, mainly from 1948 to the early 1970s, though with one final exodus from Iran in 1979–80 following the Iranian Revolution. An estimated 650,000 of the departees settled in Israel.[1]”

  6. “11. The number of Arab refugees who left Israel in 1948 is estimated to be around 630,000.”

    “In 1947, there were approximately one million Arabs in the whole of western Palestine. (British figures, certainly inflated, put the number at 1,200,000; independent calculations claim 800-900,000). Of these the total number actually liviing in that part of Palestine which became Israel was according to the Briitish figure, 561,000(10). Not all of them left. After the end of hostilities in 1949, there were 140,000 Arabs in Israel. The total number of Arabs who left could not mathematically have been more than 420,000.”

  7. @liz44: Good idea. However, due to the Arab influence on most countries in the world, most audiences will not believe you and you may be booed off the stage. Sorry about that…

  8. Such a convenient way to list all these facts that I’ve printed them out for when I give talks on Israel. Thank you!
