Confessions of an Israeli Settler

I AM THE REASON THERE IS NO WORLD PEACE

by Sherri Mandell

 

I am the problem. I am the one. The head of the free world referred to me and my family, as the reason for the unrest in the world.  Obama handed me the world's destiny. He told me - 'if you stop building, stop growing, all will be right in the Middle East. Don't even think of Iran or Darfur or the honor killing of the women in your region. Your home renovation is the cause of war.'  I am a settler. If I move 8 kilometers to Jerusalem, then I cease being a settler, I suppose. But then I am an Israeli. And that too is a problem.

The peacemakers assure us that if we leave our homes, then there will be peace, peace in the entire Middle East. Sherri the settler, just leave your, and the winds of peace will sweep across this world.'  Never mind that before there were settlements, there was a PLO. Never mind that the Palestinians have refused the most generous offers from the Israeli state, including 97 percent of Judea and Samaria.  Never mind that there is room for Arabs and Jews in the West Bank and that a Palestinian government that cannot allow Jews to dwell in its borders is a fascist state. Never mind that Israel itself has more than a million Arabs living among us.

We are seen as gun-toting racists & extremists. Never mind that it is exceedingly rare for a Jew to be a terrorist. Never mind that those other extremists murder Jewish children like my son Koby with their bare hands just because we are Jews. Never mind that those other extremists send their own children to commit suicide as martyrs. Never mind that those extremists kill their own people if they are suspected of being collaborators. Never mind that those extremists oppress their women. Never mind that those extremists are intolerant of homosexuality in their communities.  But it is the settlers who are the problem.

Apartheid in the Middle East

THE MIDDLE EAST'S REAL APARTHEID By Efraim Karsh "Israel Apartheid Week his cities and campuses throughout the world.  This charge, of course, is not only completely false, but the inverse of the truth.  If apartheid is indeed a crime against humanity, Israel is actually the only apartheid-free state in the Middle East.  By contrast, apartheid has been an integral part of the Middle East for over a millennium, and the Arab Muslim nations continue to legally, politically, and socially enforce this discriminatory practice against their hapless minorities. Religious Intolerance:  Muslims historically viewed themselves as distinct from, and superior to, all non-Muslims.  Non-Muslims, known in history as "Dhimmis," never enjoyed equal rights under Islam.  Even non-ruling Muslim factions have been historically oppressed by their dominant co-religionists Ethnic inequality:  This legacy of intolerance extends beyond the religious sphere...

Palestinian Arabs Confess that Arab Leaders Created the Palestinian Refugees

Image
Former PLO Terrorist Tass Saada was born  in a tent in a refugee camp in Gaza City in 1951.   Prior to the outbreak of the 1948 War, his father co-owned an Orange Grove in Jaffa with a Jewish friend and business partner.  When the 1948 War broke out, his father's friend and business partner begged him not to leave, pleading with him to stay and wait until the fighting ended to make his decision.   Unfortunately, Tass's father followed the orders of the Arab governments of Jordan, Syria, & Egypt and “stepped aside” so the Arab League could drive the Zionists into the sea.   These leaders told the "Palestinian Arabs via radio, leaflets, and numerous other outlets to leave their homes and make room for the Arab combat legions to get through, assuring them that they would return to their homes after their victory.   As a result, over 700,000 Arabs became displaced, and most of their descendants have remained displaced due to the cruel polic...

Khartoum 1967: No Peace, No Recognition, & No Negotiation

Image
After Israel's victory over the Arab Nations in June of 1967, the Arab nations called for a summit in Khartoum in September 1st, 1967.  Representatives from the Arab Nations of Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, Algeria, and the Sudan met to discuss their policy with Israel.  The decision, was simple & to the point: "No Peace, No Recognition, No Negotiation."  Time and again, Israel offered land back in exchange for lasting peace, and the response has always been the same: No.  It would make no difference if Israel was willing to give back all of the West Bank and Gaza in order to create another Arab State; the war against Israel would continue until Israel no longer existed.   When some nations tried later to defy the "Three No's" the responses where brutal.  Anwar Sadat, the Egyptian President who made peace with Israel, was soon assassinated after doing so and Egypt was expelled from the Arab League.  Yaser Arafat himself stat...
