Is it all Israel's Fault?

The bias in Western media stands out once again as the article by HonestReporting shows.

The major problem in the Middle East is an anti-Israel ideology that drives the Muslim world - some more forceful than others. As long as Israel is not fully recognised as a Jewish state and as long as this anti-Semitic ideology seeks to destroy Israel and the Jewish people, there can be no peace - this, however, is not Israel's fault. Granted, Israeli policies have at times given legitimacy to Arab grievances, but not as the Western media wants us to believe. The Palestinian refugee problem was not caused by Israel, but by the Arab countries attacking Israel in 1948, while calling on all Arabs to leave the territory - temporarily... ever since, these poor people are stuck between the Muslim leadership that seeks - in one way or another - to anihilate Israel and between an Israeli people and leadership that is determined to fight for its survival. The Palestinian refugees and civilians are not primarily the victims of Israeli 'occupation,' but of Arab misuse of its civil society - including women and children.

Mutual recognition, a willingness to share despite differences, and genuine reconciliation is the only way to peace in the Middle East.


Shalom,
