Titolo: Responding to the ‘top 10 anti-Israel lies

(una meritoria pubblicazione del Simon Wiesenthal Centre  - istituzione 
calunniata da Luca Logi)
Lie No. 1: Israel was created by European guilt over the Nazi Holocaust. 
Why should Palestinians pay the price?
Three thousand years before the Holocaust, before there was a Roman 
Empire, Israel’s kings and prophets walked the streets of Jerusalem. The 
whole world knows that Isaiah did not speak his prophesies from 
Portugal, nor Jeremiah his lamentations from France. Revered by its 
people, Jerusalem is mentioned in the Hebrew Scriptures 600 times, but 
not once in the Koran. Throughout the 2,000-year exile of the Jews, 
there was a continuous Jewish presence in the Holy Land.
Lie No. 2: Had Israel withdrawn to its June 1967 borders, peace would 
have come long ago.
Since 1967, Israel repeatedly has conceded “land for peace.” Following 
Egyptian President Sadat’s historic 1977 visit to Jerusalem, Israel 
withdrew from the vast Sinai Peninsula and has been at peace with Egypt 
ever since. But the Palestinian Authority has never fulfilled its 
promise to end propaganda attacks nor drop the Palestinian National 
Charter’s call for Israel’s destruction. In 2000, Prime Minister Barak 
offered Yasser Arafat full sovereignty more than 97 percent of the West 
Bank, a corridor to Gaza, and a capital in the Arab section of 
Jerusalem. Arafat said no.
Lie No. 3: Israel is the main stumbling block to achieving a two-state 
solution.
The Palestinians themselves are the only stumbling block to achieving a 
two-state solution. With whom should Israel negotiate? With President 
Abbas, who for four years has been barred by Hamas from visiting 1.5 
million constituents in Gaza? With his Palestinian Authority, which 
continues to glorify terrorists and preaches hate in its educational 
system and the media? With Hamas, whose Iranian-backed leaders deny the 
Holocaust and use fanatical Jihadist rhetoric to call for Israel’s 
destruction?
Lie No. 4: Nuclear Israel, not Iran, is the greatest threat to peace and 
stability.
The United States and Europe can afford to wait to see what the Iranian 
regime does with its nuclear ambitions, but Israel cannot. Israel is on 
the front lines and remembers every day the price the Jewish people paid 
for not taking Hitler at his word. Israel is not prepared to sacrifice 
another 6 million Jews on the altar of the world’s indifference.
Lie No. 5: Israel is an apartheid state deserving of international 
boycott, divestment and sanctions campaigns.
In fact, Israel is a democratic state. Its 20 percent Arab minority 
enjoys all the political, economic and religious rights and freedoms of 
citizenship, including electing members of their choice to the Knesset 
(Parliament).
Lie No. 6: Plans to build 1,600 more homes in East Jerusalem prove 
Israel is "Judaizing" the Holy City.
Ramat Shlomo was not about Arab neighborhoods in East Jerusalem but 
about a long established, heavily populated Jewish neighborhood in 
northern Jerusalem, where 250,000 Jews live (about the size of Newark, 
N.J.) -- an area that will never be relinquished by Israel.
Lie No. 7: Israeli policies endanger U.S. troops in Afghanistan and Iraq.
A resolution of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict would benefit everyone, 
including the United States. But an imposed return to what Abba Eban 
called “1967 Auschwitz borders” would endanger Israel’s survival and 
ultimately be disastrous for American interests and credibility in the 
world.
Lie No. 8: Israeli policies are the cause of worldwide anti-Semitism.
 From the Inquisition to the pogroms, to the 6 million Jews murdered by 
the Nazis, history proves that Jew hatred existed on a global scale 
before the creation of the State of Israel. It would still exist in 2010 
even if Israel had never been created. For example, one poll indicates 
that 40 percent of Europeans blame the recent global economic crisis on 
“Jews having too much economic power” -- a canard that has nothing to do 
with Israel.
Lie No. 9: Israel, not Hamas, is responsible for the “humanitarian 
catastrophe” in Gaza. Goldstone was right when he charged that Israel 
was guilty of war crimes against civilians.
The United Nations Human Rights Council is obsessed with false 
anti-Israel resolutions. It refuses to address grievous human rights 
abuses in Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Cuba and beyond. Faced 
with similar attacks, every U.N. member-state, including the United 
States and Canada, surely would have acted more aggressively than the 
Israel Defense Forces did in Gaza.
Lie No. 10: The only hope for peace is a single, binational state 
eliminating the Jewish State of Israel.
The one-state solution is a non-starter because it would eliminate the 
Jewish homeland. However, the current pressures on Israel are equally 
dangerous. In effect, the world is demanding that Israel, the size of 
New Jersey, shrink further by accepting a three-state solution: a P.A. 
state on the West Bank and a Hamas terrorist one in Gaza. All this as 
Hezbollah, Iran’s proxy in Lebanon, stockpiles 50,000 rockets, 
threatening northern and central Israel’s main population centers. 
Current polls show that while most Israelis favor a two-state solution, 
most Palestinians continue to oppose it.

 eliminating the Jewish State of Israel.
si decidano, i retori di serie Z del SW. Gli antiisraeliani vogliono
la soluzione a due stati (e sarebbero comunque ben strani
antiisraeliani, visto che uno di quei due stati sarebbe Israele) o
quella dello stato binazionale? Oppure, molto semplicemente, che i
signori del SW centre non vogliono nessun'altra soluzione che non sia
il mantenimento dello status quo coi palestinesi che si beccano senza
reagire i raid dell'IDF e dei coloni e rimangono buoni nei loro
bantustan mentre gli israeliani si "sviluppano" coi soldi dello zio
d'america? E quindi che chiunque proponga una soluzione diversa, che
comporti dare una dignità ai palestinesi, è ipso facto antiisraeliano,
e quindi antisemita? Ovvero che Israele deve continuare ad esistere
come stato consustanzialmente razzista contro i palestinesi, perchè il
nemico permanente è il miglior alleato possibile per qualsiasi governo
di estrema destra, che non può durare a lungo senza nemici contro cui
far fronte comune, veri o inventati (v. Orwell)?

Oddio Nahi.
Mai viste cosi' tante idiozie messe in fila.
Guarda che stai demolendo il mito dell'intelligenza ebraica.


visto che ogni stereotipo rivolto a un popolo è razzista, sta facendo
dell'antirazzismo militante.
