Understanding UN Bias Against Israel

The United Nations has made the democratic State of Israel the target of incessant condemnation while neglecting its mandate in challenging the oppressive regimes around the world.

The following film clip uncovers the factors behind the UN's bias against Israel. We encourage you to view the clip, forward to friends, and partner with us to counter the hypocrisy and expose the truth.

Join us September 21, 2011 in holding the United Nations accountable for its actions at a pro-Israel demonstration as the UN launches its third World Conference against Racism (Durban III). The event will take place opposite the UN Headquarters in Dag Hammershald Plaza, NYC at 11:00 AM. We hope to see you there.

Denying a person (or a country) the right to defend himself (or itself) is a death sentence. When I complained to the director of the Cable Access TV station in Cambridge MA after many years of harassment and sabotage, I asked, "Don't I have right to defend myself?" She answered "No." I am familiar with the double standard as applied to Israel.

A Japanese View of the Palestinians

A Japanese View of the Palestinians -

Is the world just plain stupid?

An interesting questionnaire for Palestinian Advocates

If you are so sure that "Palestine, the country, goes back through most of recorded history," I expect you to be able to answer a few basic questions about that country of Palestine:

1. When was it founded and by whom?

2. What were its borders?

3. What was its capital?

4. What were its major cities?

5. What constituted the basis of its economy?

6. What was its form of government?

7. Can you name at least one Palestinian leader before Arafat?

8. Was Palestine ever recognized by a country whose existence, at that time or now, leaves no room for interpretation?

9. What was the language of the country of Palestine ?

10. What was the prevalent religion of the country of Palestine ?

11. What was the name of its currency? Choose any date in history and tell what was the approximate exchange rate of the Palestinian monetary unit against the US dollar, German mark, GB pound, Japanese yen, or Chinese Yuan on that date.

12. And, finally, since there is no such country today, what caused its demise and when did it occur?

You are lamenting the "low sinking" of a "once proud" nation. Please tell me, when exactly was that "nation" proud and what was it so proud of?

And here is the least sarcastic question of all: If the people you mistakenly call "Palestinians" are anything but generic Arabs collected from all over -- or thrown out of -- the Arab world, if they really have a genuine ethnic identity that gives them right for self-determination, why did they never try to become independent until Arabs suffered their devastating defeat in the Six Day War?

I hope you avoid the temptation to trace the modern day "Palestinians" to the Biblical Philistines: substituting etymology for history won't work here.

The truth should be obvious to everyone who wants to know it. Arab countries have never abandoned the dream of destroying Israel; they still cherish it today. Having time and again failed to achieve their evil goal with military means, they decided to fight Israel by proxy. For that purpose, they created a terrorist organization, cynically called it "the Palestinian people" and installed it in Gaza, Judea, and Samaria . How else can you explain the refusal by Jordan and Egypt to unconditionally accept back the "West Bank" and Gaza, respectively?

The fact is, Arabs populating Gaza, Judea, and Samaria have much less claim to nationhood than that Indian tribe that successfully emerged in Connecticut with the purpose of starting a tax-exempt casino: at least that tribe had a constructive goal that motivated them. The so-called "Palestinians" have only one motivation: the destruction of Israel, and in my book that is not sufficient to consider them a nation" -- or anything else except what they really are: a terrorist organization that will one day be dismantled.

In fact, there is only one way to achieve peace in the Middle East . Arab countries must acknowledge and accept their defeat in their war against Israel and, as the losing side should, pay Israel reparations for the more than 50 years of devastation they have visited on it. The most appropriate form of such reparations would be the removal of their terrorist organization from the land of Israel and accepting Israel's ancient sovereignty over Gaza, Judea, and Samaria.

That will mark the end of the Palestinian people. What are you saying again was its beginning?

Israeli Guards Prevent Hospital Terror Attack

Israeli soldiers don't let a pregnant Palestinian woman pass through a military barricade. A young Palestinian woman, disguised as pregnant, was sent to blow up an hospital in Israel. Her explosive device was found during a routine security check at Erez checkpoint.
I basically played the same trick she did and disguised my video as pro-Palestinian.

A Marvelous Prank

The Israelis built this building for Iran's national airline sometime in the early 1970's... They put a Star of David on the roof with the Iranians remaining absolutely clueless about it. Almost four decades later, the Iranians find out via Google Earth imagery what the Israelis did...and they ain't happy about it. This Google Earth capture is from 9/15/2009.
This is all over the news right now. Here's a report from FoxNews about how the Iranians are outraged (that they never noticed, in 38 years, that there was a Star of David on top of their airport).

in brief

Carmel tunnels are ready

The Carmel Tunnel, a new 3.5 mile traffic route and the longest of its kind in our country, opens next month in Haifa - the country's chief port and third-largest city. The highway connects Haifa's eastern and western districts, redirecting drivers from downtown to an alternative route to the eastern and central parts of the city and Haifa Bay. The opening of the tunnels will ease the traffic on roads passing through the city, reduce air pollution and bring significant savings in time and money for the drivers to the north by-passing the city through the tunnels.

Israeli innovations in Medicine, Healthcare:
Detecting Parkinson by voice waves
Method developed by Professor Shimon Sapir from Haifa University enables detection of Parkinson disease in early stages by analyzing the sound waves produced while talking. The technique involves analysis of voice and articulation that only requires the patient to read few simple sentences -resulting in reliable and accurate findings. Prof Sapir idea is that the disease affects also the muscles controlling the voice and speech. Early detection is crucial for treatment and stopping further development of the disease.

Women of combat
A record breaking number of 1000 religious women, some already married, are choosing to enlist in the IDF. These young women are enlisting in large numbers, becoming pioneers in units which never before included religious women: Air force, artillery and tank corps instructors, IDF command courses and more. Until now, most religious women who enlisted did so in teaching and education roles and units. Over the last two years the glass ceiling has shattered and paved the way for additional significant roles.

3 new power plants approved
Government approved 3 power plants based on water storage (renewal energy). Water storage method uses the difference between the heights of water reservoirs to generate electricity. Water is pumped up at hours of low-power consumption and streamed back to a turbine that produces electricity at peak demand. These projects in Manara and Mount Gilboa will generate 500 MegaWatts of electricity. A third power-plant based on this technology to be built in Kochav HaYarden will produce 300 MW. http://www.calcalist.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-3433826,00.html
