Invaders From the Desert
Hank Roth
Before Israeli independence, the Arabs only built one town in all of
Palestine. ONLY ONE...
"The feeling of so many nineteenth-century visitors that the country had
been waiting for the return of its lawful inhabitants was made the more
significant by the shallowness of the Arab imprint on the country. In
twelve hundred years of association, they build only a single town,
Ramleh, established as the local subprovincial capital in the eighth
century. The researchers of the nineteenth-century scholars, beginning
with the archaeologist Edward Robinson in 1838, revealed that hundreds of
place-names of villages and sites, seemingly Arab, were Arabic renderings
or translations of ancient Hebrew names, biblical or Talmudic. The Arabs
have never even had a name of their own for this country which they claim.
"Filastin" is merely the Arab transliteration of "Palestine," the name the
Romans gave the country when they determined to obliterate the "presence
of the Jewish people." (Samuel Katz, "Battleground.." - 73)
Anti-Zionists declare Israel a "Nazi state" because as a response to acts
of terrorism, the Israel Defense Forces raze the homes of suicide bombers,
with their armored bulldozers. You know the ones who in order to go
straight to heaven and get their 72 virgins blow themselves up and kill
Jewish babies and their mothers.
The IDF is accused of using Nazi tactics for the bulldozing of "illegal"
houses in Israel which are used to cover for mortar fire which rains down
on Israeli civilians. Groups like the International Solidarity Movement
(ISM) doesn't mention fact. Nor do these critics of Israel and the IDF
mention the houses which hold tunnels used for smuggling weapons to be
used to murder Jews - or simply because the home was used for a family
where a son or daughter was encouraged to become a suicide bomber and blow
up a bus full of Jewish babies. The Arabs and the left are noticeably
quiet about those things because they don't want anyone to think that
Israeli policy is anything but cruel - even as those mothers and fathers
have praise for their children who die for Allah and want more children so
they can also sacrifice them for their Jihad against non-Muslims and
especially those Jews.
The IDF tracks down Arab murderers and kills them. How dare those terrible
Israelis do such dastardly acts like taking the life of those who takes
lives. And how dare those Israelis spoil the image by hiring Palestinians
to work in Israel, providing them with jobs they would not otherwise have
and even if Israel is the only country in the Middle East where Arabs can
participate in the democratic decision making process, Israelis are still
Nazis and Israel is a Nazi state, they say.
