Lies the useful idiots are being taught about Israel and the Palestinians

Facts don't care about your feelings -- Ben Shapiro 

People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe -- Andy Rooney

We are at a point in history where more American young people are on the side of Hamas (51%) and believe that Israel should not exist. Many of these people, college graduates, have no idea about history or facts. If you ask them when did Islam come into existence they would generally have no clue; and the same would hold true about Judaism. I'm not going to save anyone the trouble of answering those questions, but let's just say the Jews have been around thousands of years longer than Islam, which came into existence in 610 and the Koran, Islam’s scripture, hundreds of years after that. 

Israel, as the Jewish State, came into being on May 14, 1948 but had long been the land of the Jews even back in Old Testament times. Jerusalem alone was mentioned 52 times. Israel has been mentioned 2,228 times in the Jewish Bible, aka Old Testament and is also the Holy Land of Christians and later became such for Muslims.

However, young useful idiots are being taught that Gaza is "occupied" by Israel. The fact is, on September 12, 2005 all Israeli settlements in the Gaza Strip and the Israeli-Palestinian Erez Industrial Zone were dismantled. Every Jewish settler was told to leave by the Israeli government, and that even included the dead who were buried there. Nine thousand Israelis mostly in Gush Katif, were forcibly evicted and the Israeli cabinet formally declared an end to Israeli military occupation in the Gaza Strip.

There are no Israeli Jews in Gaza now so how can they be occupying it?

These same useful idiots have bought into the myths that blame Israel for what Hamas and other terrorist organization spout.

Anti-Zionists [aka anti-Semites] frequently call Israel an “apartheid regime.” In spite of their idiocy of using that word, which actually refers to “race,” Israeli Jews include many different ethnicities which is more than you can say for Gaza and the Middle East in general. You have the European Jews, Middle Eastern Jews, Spanish Jews, all of whom look strikingly similar to Palestinian Arabs. You even have Ethiopian Jews. It's like a Forrest Gump smorgasbord of Jews instead of shrimp.

So these "genius" college students are clueless about the words they use. But taking it a step further, the use of the term apartheid describes a repressive, racist system stemming from South Africa's white minority dominating the black population via a systemic framework of legislation that barred non-whites from voting.

Israel is a democracy with a core value of equality, even to the extent in which Palestinian Arab citizens of Israel are equal before the law, and there is a proportionate number of Arabs of the population in Israel's Knesset. Israeli Arabs have an equal vote and can serve in any office. Not so much with the shoe on the other foot in Gaza.

Of course, non-Israeli citizens and Palestinians who are not Israelis, don't have the same rights because of security needs of Israel, but that's true in most nations, even though the Biden administration would like illegal aliens to vote.

Useful idiots also call Israel a "genocidal state." By definition, genocide is an internationally recognized crime in which one party intends to destroy another, in whole or part. It can be a nation, ethnicity, race or religious group being targeted. Regarding Israel, there is absolutely no evidence the Jewish State wishes to destroy Palestinians to any degree. Palestinians who have been killed by Israel were either terrorists or non-terrorist people who were often used as human shields, by Hamas. 

Also, genocide, by definition, intends to dramatically, if not totally decrease the population of its targeting. But strangely enough, the population of Palestinians in Judea, Samaria and Gaza continues to grow, not decrease. This is the direct opposite of genocide, but why should anyone be fooled by the useful idiots who spout the opposite of the facts? Actually, those they intend to defend are the same people perpetrating what they're accusing Israel of doing? It's like saying Islam is a religion of peace.

If Israel was committing genocide, they're not very good at it. But Hamas and other Palestinian terrorist groups are calling for genocide of the Jews. It's the old 'from the river to the sea' chant calling for the total elimination of the Jewish State.

Another lie spread by Hamassholes and their ilk is the number of Palestinian civilians killed in this war. If you were to believe the numbers handed out by the Gaza Ministry of Health [an oxymoron if there ever was one], and the mainstream media does believe them, you would believe that around 17,000 Palestinians were killed by the IDF to date. The Ministry of Health is controlled by Hamas and they will say anything Hamas tells them to say, such as the so-called false claim that Israel bombed the Al-Ahli Hospital and killed 500 Palestinians. It turned out that it was a misfired rocket by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad that fired the rocket which fell into the hospital parking lot killing a dozen or so automobiles and perhaps several civilians. But Israel wasn't involved.

Hamas also blames Israel for killing their out-of-uniform terrorists as civilians. Besides being a war crime to not wear an identifiable military uniform in war, Hamas has committed numerous war crimes, while the media only focuses on ways to blame Israel.

As I've mentioned many times before, Israel takes incredible effort to minimize civilian casualties; more than any other country on Earth. Meanwhile, Hamassholes intentionally kill, torture, rape, burn, mutilate, kidnap, and behead civilians. The media doesn't like to talk about that at any length, perhaps because it's so messy.

Finally, Hamasshole leaders are terrorists, and so too are the leaders of all jihad organizations. Israel's leaders are not terrorists. The Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, was Yasser Arafat's deputy and he helped fund and organize terror attacks, including the Munich Olympic massacre, where a hostage was castrated. 

Israeli leaders, like Benjamin Netanyahu, are not terrorists. 

Like Ronald Reagan said, "Facts are stubborn things."
