Response on a Discussion Board

Really so simple? Show me the term Israeli in literature before the Partition vote. According to the Jewish Virtual Library (http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Society_&_Culture/symph.html) the Jewish national orchestra founded in 1936 was called the Palestine Symphony. They changed the name to Israel Philharmonic Orchestra in 1948. Is there an Israeli language any more than there is a Palestinian language? Why is an Israeli allowed to call Jewish history his own but a Palestinian is not allowed to call Arab history his own? Arguably, the local Arabs have a greater claim to being Palestinian than the Jews do to being called Israeli since there were far more Arabs in the land - 500,000 in 1880 with only 5,000 Jews.  (Source: Benny Morris) The answer to these questions is that you are a racist.

The hostility and condescension in your response is interesting. It reflects an arrogance and an abusiveness that likely attracts you to current Israeli policy. Also worth noting is your pseudo-intellectualism. You try to come off like some kind of fact laden thinker but mostly you are a blowhard who pontificates cliches and myths that any rational mind would question. Do you ever wonder why it would be that your group is perfectly wonderful and your other side is perfectly horrible? Do you ever wonder whether that just tells us that you are an egomaniac? I have a few uncles who are just like you.

R. Mendel Kasher, who I find is the source of almost all the classic Zionist distortions - by Megila

R. Mendel Kasher, who I find is the source of almost all the classic Zionist distortions. He was the one who made up the story of those Gedolim signing a paper was the Medinah is the aschalta degeulah, and he was the one who doctored the story of the meeting of the Moetzes Chachmei HaTorah in 1937 where he left out the poiastion of people like Rav Ahron Kotler. He wrote a book called HaTekufah heGedolah which is absolutely full of misquotes, fabrications and distortions. His deception has already been exposed and well known to those who have researched this topic. R. Zvi Weinman documented extensively the forgeries of R. Kasher - and he even challenged him in public to respond to his findings when R. Kasher was alive - in his excellent work "Mikatowitz ad 5 B'Iyar." Of course, R. Kasher did not produce any response to the evidence against him. More of R. Kasher's falsifications are exposed in the sefer "Das HaTziyonus", especially his now famous fra

Israel pays students to post favorable comments online.

https://www.facebook.com/FromDarknessToLightTRUTH/videos/760705497393111/ There's a few ways of spotting the paid comment makers. One is they generally go for ad homenum attacks. This one is an antisemite, that one is an enemy of Israel, this one is not qualified to speak. I also find it amusing that Noam Chomsky is considered not qualified to speak because his PhD is in linguistics but Alan Dershowitz, a trial attorney, is even though Chomsky is just brimming with relevant facts and Dershowitz is so clearly a manipulator. They are not too educated these commenters.  Also, they also never respond to educated responses because they have no response and possibly they are instructed not to respond so as not to help promote educated thought on the topic.

All That Remains

All That Remains: The Palestinian Villages Occupied and Depopulated by Israel in 1948 Paperback – April 13, 2006 by Professor Walid Khalidi, of Oxford and Harvard Universities (Editor). This authoritative reference work describes in detail the more than 400 Palestinian villages that were destroyed or depopulated by Israel in 1948. Little of these once-thriving communities remains: not only have they been erased from the Palestinian landscape, their very names have been removed from contemporary Israeli maps. But to hundreds of thousands of Palestinians living in their diaspora, these villages were home, and continue to be poignantly powerful symbols of their personal and national identity. The culmination of nearly six years of research by more than thirty participants, this authoritative reference work describes in detail the more than 400 Palestinian villages that were destroyed or depopulated during the 1948 war. Going beyond the scope of previously published accounts, All That Rema
