Israeli Defense Actions Taken out of Context To Create Illusion Of Aggression

It should be remebered that Arabs attacked, invaded, and forced their entry into the Holy land during the first millennium. This course of action was based on the belief that Mohammed ascended to 'heaven' on the wings of a bouraq following his death. Note that this does not appear in the Qu'ran and has no real substantiation (as is the case with much in Arab culture). Because of this assertion the Jewish people have been subjected to ruthless persecution and occupation of the lands which THEY, and not the Arabs, irrigated and rendered productive.

It is Jewish land that is being "occupied" by Arabs who call themselves 'Palestinians'--not the Jews occupying Arab lands. Yasser Arafat once satated in an interview that Israelis were being killed not for what they have done because of what they are--'infidels'. We all are aware of the verses in the Qu'ran which state 'slay the idolators everywhere they are found, besiege them, and set every ambush for them.' This is the real purpose of the Arab occupation of the geographical location of palestine--to set every ambush for the infidels, besiege them etc. This is what being a true muslim is all about. 'Goodness' has nothing to do with it and no real place in the arab world, thus all that the Israelis do to defend themselves is taken out of context and propagandized so as to falsely portray the infidels as attacking islam which of course is then used to further accelerate the conflict-- purely intentionally.
