A Time to Speak

Arguments on behalf of a Palestinian State and Their Flaws: The U.S.Administration (George W. Bush) has formally declared a Palestine State in a resolution in the UN Security Council. It is almost beyond credibility that this reward should be bestowed on a terrorist entity that is carryng out the most brutal and vicious campaign of mass murders.
Topsy-Turvy: The Middle East is often viewed from slanted angles that distort perspectives and perceptions. This fosters notions and conduct that turn reason and fairness upside down.
Tongues Of Deceit - Part I: There is a Hebrew term "lashon ha-ra" (the bad tongue). Since the Children of Israel came back to the land of their fathers, the bad tongue has been one of the sharpest weapons used against them.
Tongues Of Deceit - Part II: Part I took up the question of history, population, territory, so-called "occupation" and other topics widely misrepresented and misunderstood. Part II now takes up the topic of the Arab refugees.
The History and Meaning of "Palestine" and "Palestinians" | En Español: There is no such thing as a Palestinian Arab nation. The Philistines were not Arabs, they were not Semites. They had no connection, ethnic, linguistic or historical with Arabia or Arabs. The name "Falastin" that Arabs today use for "Palestine" is not an Arabic name.
In Their Own Words: This issue of Time to Speak presents Arab viewpoints and comments on Israel and Israel-Arab relations, as expressed in their own speeches and writings.
Bearing False Witness: Those whose goal is to harm or destroy Israel, adopt and spread the usual lies. They also invent current political lies, that are less obviously bogus, and therefore more easily accepted by well-meaning people.
