Israel: The Old-New Jewish Democracy

Israel is the only nation on earth that inhabits the same land, bears the same name, and speaks the same language it did 3,000 years ago.
It is committed to:
  • the search for peace
  • improving the lives of all its citizens
  • equality and respect for all regardless of race, religion or gender
  • teaching its children peace, tolerance and respect

This is what Gaza could have looked like if the Palestinians had invested the money they received in foreign aid to build homes and community spaces, creating a place where they could live in peace.

Instead, they took that money and built tunnels to smuggle guns and rockets into the country to try to destroy Israel.

Hamas Admits that Most Deaths are of Terrorists, not Civilians


It's not just Israel that pro-Palestinian protesters object to.


"If the Palestinians living in Gaza want to end the war, they must revolt against Hamas and provide Israel with information about the whereabouts of the hostages. Sadly, most Palestinians seem unwilling to do so, either out of fear of Hamas or because they simply identify with the terror group and its goal of destroying Israel."

Yale University study documents bias of New York Times in reporting about the war

"Little mention is made of Israeli casualties post-October 7 or of Palestinian acts of violence post-October 7, creating "sympathy for the Palestinian people" while at the same time "diminishing Hamas’s responsibility for their situation and the continuation of the war."
One example is the lies about Israel not supplying food to Gaza.

How Hezbollah Created a War Machine under the Noses of the UN

A Danish citizen who served in UNTSO (United Nations Truce Supervision Organization) in southern Lebanon, testified about the conduct of UN bodies vis-à-vis Hezbollah, saying in an interview for the Danish newspaper BT that "we were completely dependent on Hezbollah, our freedom of movement was limited." According to him, when the UN personnel tried to reach the places where Hezbollah was suspected to be operating, they were arrested: "They were aggressive and blocked the way. They didn't want us to see what they were doing." He also testified that they were instructed to keep their distance from Hezbollah terrorists, and added that there was a "total lack" of the ability to act against many violations of Resolution 1701. "We reported on a daily basis, nothing happened. The UN is incompetent."

Hezbollah was able to convince one in every three homes in southern Lebanon to do so. They've used them to fire on Israel constantly since October 8, 2023, forcing 80,000 Israelis to leave their homes in northern Israel. Israel is now taking steps to ensure that Hezbollah can no longer threaten Israel's civilians or realize its stated goal to destroy the State of Israel.

CEASEFIRE?

The international laws governing this war.
The refusal to condemn Hamas' rape of Israeli women is a betrayal of all women

Israeli so called "violence" against the Palestinians in the West Bank--Palestinian-on-Israeli violence in Judea-Samaria is approximately 16 incidents PER DAY (5,600 in 2023).

Israeli-on-Palestinian violence is approximately 0.16 incidents per day (60 total in 2023), meaning Palestinian attacks on Israelis happen 100x more than Israeli attacks on Palestinians.

Concern about civilians has to extend to hostages who have been kidnapped as well.

The UN makes no mention of the 200,000 Israelis who have been forced to leave their homes. Why not? Because Israel itself is taking care of them. In contrast, no Arab nation has offered to take in even one Gazan.


What has happened to past humanitarian aid?

This is an ad on Israeli TV from major companies throughout the country. It features an Israeli Arab and an Israeli Jew from each company. The text says: "Living together. Working together. That's how we'll end the violence and return to respecting one another." It's sad that there is no comparable ad in Gaza or the Palestinian Authority, because Jews cannot live or work there.

"Hamas believes that no part of the land of Palestine shall be compromised or conceded, irrespective of the causes, the circumstances and the pressures and no matter how long the occupation lasts. Hamas rejects any alternative to the full and complete liberation of Palestine, from the river to the sea.
However, without compromising its rejection of the Zionist entity and without relinquishing any Palestinian rights, Hamas considers the establishment of a fully sovereign and independent Palestinian state, with Jerusalem as its capital along the lines of the 4th of June 1967, with the return of the refugees and the displaced to their homes from which they were expelled, to be a formula of national consensus."

What the Average Palestinian Wants: An Analysis of 300 Public Opinion Polls

How Palestinians' Vision of Israel Serves Palestinian Needs

Israel Remains Committed to the Two-State Solution

As PM Netanyahu said on June 9, 2015:

"I remain committed to a solution of two states for two peoples as I said at Bar-Ilan [University]. I said in Bar-Ilan the solution as I see it is a demilitarized Palestinian state that recognizes the Jewish state. These are not conditions for entering the talks. I place no conditions. But these are the foundations of an enduring peace between us and the Palestinians, assuming the region will not be swept by these larger forces.

The Palestinians expect us to recognize a Palestinian nation-state but they won't recognize a Jewish nation-state. A Jewish nation-state for the Jewish people with full rights for all the non-Jews that live here. I wish I could say the same for the Palestinians."
