TEN PALESTINIAN LIES (AMONG THE MANY MORE THAT EXIST)

Adam Turner, writing for frontpagemag.com, has compiled a list of what he calls “Top 20 Lies of the Pro-Palestinian Arab Cause”.  It is in two sets of 10, the first set being what Mr. Turner considers the most significant of those lies.

I thought you might want to see the top 10 (and maybe the rest, which you can find by using the above link).

Here they are:

1. Israel is an apartheid regime. This charge is especially stupid because “apartheid” involves “race”, and there is no “race” implicated here.  Further, Israel is a democracy where its Arab citizens are fully equal under the law.  Now, there are distinctions made between Israeli citizens and the Palestinian Arabs who are not citizens, but this is because Israel has legitimate security needs.
2. Israel is committing, or attempting to commit, genocide. Genocide is an internationally recognized crime where one party acts with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group.  There is absolutely no evidence that Israel intends to destroy the Palestinians, in whole or in part.  This is why the South Africans are having a problem making this claim, even with a biased anti-Israel international court.  Especially since the Palestinian Arab population numbers continue to grow, and the Hamas claimed casualties are dwarfed by those from many other recent conflicts (see the Sudan, the Congo, Syria, etc.)  But Hamas, on the other hand, does routinely call for a genocide of the Jews.
3. Israel is targeting civilians/or Israel is indiscriminate about its attacks, leading to excessive civilian deaths. No, it certainly isn’t. The civilians who die do so largely because Hamas routinely uses civilians as human shields.  Further, the IDF has made great efforts to minimize civilian casualties, by warning Gazans to leave areas or buildings about to be targeted.  They have done this through about nine million leaflets dropped, fifteen million messages sent, and sixteen million robocalls made.  As a result, the ratio of civilians to terrorist in this conflict is probably approaching one to one, an unprecedented modern ratio, and Israel has been praised for its success in protecting the lives of civilians by noted experts in modern warfare such as Richard Kemp (UK, Ret.) and Major John Spencer (US, Ret.).
4. The Hamas counted casualties are to be believed. No – in fact, they are “poorly fabricated figures.”  Meanwhile, Israel actually reduced the number of its reported casualties from the October 7^th
5. Israel is the aggressor in this conflict. Not so.  The Jewish state has made real peace offers to the Palestinian Arabs in 1993, in 2000, in 2001, in 2005, and in 2008, all immediately answered by vicious and bloody Palestinian terrorism.  Here is former President Bill Clinton taking the Palestinian Arabs to task for their failure to embrace peace during his term.  And Hamas started the current hostilities in a particularly bloodthirsty way on October 7, 2023.
6. Favoring the Palestinian Arab Cause is in the U.S. national interest. No, it isn’t, as I have explained numerous times before.
7. The Palestinian Arabs are a stateless people. No, Jordan clearly has a majority of Palestinian Arabs, and its Queen is a Palestinian Arab.  Granted, the Palestinian Arab majority does not rule in Jordan; then again, none of the 23 Arab states are democratic.
8. The conflict needs to be solved soon because the Palestinian Arabs are having more children than the Israelis. No, this is outdated demographic data.  Today, the Israelis have a higher demographic growth than the Palestinian Arabs.
9. The Palestinian Arabs have a population in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza that is too large to be controlled by Israel. As in everything else, the Palestinian Arabs are simply lying about their numbers.  The UN official population numbers the Palestinian Arabs in those areas at roughly 6 million; in reality, there are probably less than 4 million.
10. Creating a Palestinian state will lead to the protection of the human rights of Palestinian Arabs. As stated above, none of the 23 Arab states are democracies, and none of them are protective of human rights. A Palestinian Arab state will most certainly be a (possibly theocratic) brutal dictatorship with discriminating policies against women, homosexuals, and Christians.

You might or might not agree with individual components of this compilation.  But, taken as a whole, it tells a very important, very compelling story; one which seems to elude most international sources.

I wonder why…..
