This interesting link shows a PA (Palestinian Autority) lawmaker exposing Yassir Arafat's deceptions on 'peace.' All they really want is what his organisation stood/stands for: a liberated Palestine, which leaves no room for Jews or the State of Israel. The misuse of women and children in this unholy war is outrageous. It was recorded how Arafat spoke of peace in English and of war in Arabic, how he urged women to give birth to ten kids and give him eight of them to establish a free Palestine. Unless Europeans see this side of the struggle Israel is facing, their picture of the Middle East conflict and their attitude towards Israel and Jews is unbalance, subjective, and partly deceived - and that is why there is such room for emotional manipulation that drives ordinary people to even hate Jews and Israel. All this shows the negative influence of media, its subjectivity, and possibly the manipulation by those who want the facts to be presented the way it suits them, rather than evaluating all facts to have a more objective picture. Israel is fighting a terrible war since its founding in 1948 and they know best how to survive it; who are we in the West to condemn them for what they have to do for their survival? As has been said, When they are actually trying to kill you, it's no longer about Islamophobia...
My prayer is for peace on Israel and the Arab world, yet not a political one - that seems impossible - but one that requries a change of heart and attitude, in which others can be accepted for what they believe rather than being persecuted, terrorised, and murdered.
Shalom,
Gordon
