Some of the national and local media often report untrue, half true and distorted facts and analysis regarding Israel and the Middle East. This negative portrayal of Israel influences public and political opinion around the world. It encourages Palestinians and Arab states to continue to pressure Israel by using terrorism and other methods of force or diplomatic isolation instead of resolving the conflict diplomatically.
HASBARA Israel Media Response is a community-based, grassroots organization which is leading a community wide campaign to combat negative media coverage and to encourage full and accurate reporting about the Middle East. The campaign is focusing on the local media, both printed and on the air and in cyberspace.
The immediate goals of the campaign are:
- To provide daily information to the community about biased or inaccurate reporting and also about careful and correct reporting, and about editing choices in the major local papers (radio and TV programs will follow in the future)
- To encourage and facilitate a high volume of pro-Israel letter writing to the editors of the local newspapers
- To publish pro-Israel articles on the op-ed pages of local papers
- To develop a media relations strategy and long-term media relationships in our community
1. Israel became a state in 1312 B.C., two millennia before islam.
2. arab refugees from Israel began calling themselves " palestinians " in 1967, two decades after (modern) Israeli statehood in 1948.
3. After conquering the land in 1272 B.C., Jews ruled it for a thousand years and maintained a continuous presence there for 3,300 years.
4. The only muslim rule following conquest in 633 B.C. lasted just 22 years. fakestine never existed.
5. For over 3,300 years, Jerusalem was the Jewish capital. It was never the capital of any arab or muslim entity. Even under Jordanian rule, (East) Jerusalem was not made the capital, and no arab leader came to visit it.
6. Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in the bible, but not once is it mentioned in the quran.
7. King David founded Jerusalem; muhammed never set foot in it.
8. Jews pray facing Jerusalem; muslims face mecca. If they are between the two cities, muslims pray facing mecca, with their backs to Jerusalem.
9. In 1948, arab leaders urged their people to leave, promising to cleanse the land of Jewish presence. 68% of them fled without ever setting eyes on an Israeli soldier.
10. Virtually the entire Jewish population of muslim countries had to flee as the result of violence and pogroms.
11. Some 630,000 arabs left Israel in 1948, while close to a million Jews were forced to leave the muslim countries.
12. In spite of the vast territories at their disposal, arab refugees were deliberately prevented from assimilating into their host countries. Of 100 million refugees following World War 2, they are the only group to have never integrated with their co-religionists. Most of the Jewish refugees from Europe and arab lands were settled in Israel, a country no larger than New Jersey, USA.
13. There are 55 muslim countries. There is only 1 Jewish state.
14. fatah and hamas constitutions still call for the destruction of Israel. Israel ceded most of the west bank and all of gaza to the palestinian authority, and even provided it with arms.
15. During the Jordanian occupation, Jewish holy sites were vandalized and were off limits to Jews. Under Israeli rule, all muslim and Christian holy sites are accessible to all faiths.
16. Out of 175 United Nations Security Council resolutions up to 1990, 97 were against Israel; out of 690 general assembly resolutions, 429 were against Israel.
17. The U.N. was silent when the Jordanians destroyed 58 synagogues in the old city of Jerusalem. It remained silent while Jordan systematically desecrated the ancient Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives, and it remained silent when Jordan enforced apartheid laws preventing Jews from accessing the temple mount and western wall.
18. arabs started all seven wars against Israel, and lost every one of them!!.......♥AM ISRAEL CHAI!♥
