The following material was written by an American Christian professor.
It's important information to know since we don't get fair and accurate
reporting from the media and facts tend to get lost in the jumble of daily
events.

Here are some conveniently overlooked facts in the current Middle East
situation. It takes just 1.5 minutes to read!!!! It makes sense and it's not
slanted. Thank You.

1. Nationhood and Jerusalem Israel became a nation in 1312 B.C.E., two
thousand years before the rise of Islam.

2. Arab refugees in Israel began identifying themselves as part of a
Palestinian people in 1967, two decades after the establishment of The
modern State of Israel.

3. Since the Jewish conquest in 1272 B.C.E. the Jews have had dominion
over the land for one thousand years with a continuous presence in the land
for the past 3,300 years.

4. The only Arab dominion since the conquest in 635 C.E. lasted no
more than 22 years.

5. For over 3,300 years, Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital.
Jerusalem has never been the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. Even when
the Jordanians occupied Jerusalem, they never sought to make it their
capital, and Arab leaders did not come to visit.

6.Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in Tanach, the Jewish Holy
Scriptures. Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the Koran.

7.King David founded the city of Jerusalem. Mohammed never came to
Jerusalem.

8.Jews pray facing Jerusalem. Muslims pray with their backs toward
Jerusalem.

9. Arab and Jewish Refugees In 1948 the Arab refugees were encouraged
to leave Israel by Arab leaders promising to purge the land of Jews
Sixty-eight percent left without ! ever seeing an Israeli soldier.

10. The Jewish refugees were forced to flee from Arab lands due to
Arab brutality, persecution and pogroms.

11. The number of Arab refugees who left Israel in 1948 is estimated
to be around 630,000. The number of Jewish refugees from Arab lands is
estimated to be the same.

12. Arab refugees were INTENTIONALLY not absorbed or integrated into
the Arab lands to which they fled, despite the vast Arab territory. Out of
the 100,000,000 refugees since World War II, theirs is the only refugee
group in the world that has never been absorbed or integrated into their own
peoples' lands. Jewish refugees were completely absorbed eight separate
nations, not including the Palestinians. There is only one Jewish nation.
The Arab nations initiated all five wars and lost. Israel defended itself
each time and won.

13. The Arabs are represented by eight separate nations, not including
the Palestinians. There is only one Jewish nation. The Arab nations
initiated all five wars and lost. Israel defended itself each time and won.

14. The P.L.O.'s Charter still calls for the destruction of the State
of Israel. Israel has given the Palestinians most of the West Bank land,
autonomy under the Palestinian Authority, and has supplied them with
weapons.

15. Under Jordanian rule, Jewish holy sites were desecrated and the
Jews were denied access to places of worship. Under Israeli rule, all Muslim
and Christian sites have been preserved and made accessible to people of all
faiths.

16. The U.N. Record on Israel and the Arabs of the 175 Security
Council resolutions passed before 1990, 97 were directed against Israel!

17. Of the 690 General Assembly resolutions voted on before 1990, 429
were directed against Israel!

18. The U.N was silent while 58 Jerusalem Synagogues were destroyed by
the Jordanians!

19. The U.N. was silent while the Jordanians systematically desecrated
the ancient Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives!

20. The U.N. was silent while the Jordanians enforced an
apartheid-like policy of preventing Jews from visiting the Temple Mount and
the Western Wall.

These are incredible times. We have to ask what our role should be.
What will we tell our grandchildren we did when there was a turning point in
Jewish destiny, an opportunity to make a difference?

START NOW!! Send this to 20 other people you know and ask them to send
it to twenty others. Jew and non-Jew it doesn't really matter. The truth and
the cause of peace are universal values we all share, and everyone must
know.
