TO ALL AM ISRAEL
We are now reaping the fruits of our neglect. Previous governments, have long believed, that truth will win the day and that there is no need for hasbara. To our chagrin they were terribly mistaken!
The un-opposed Arab League propaganda campaign against Israel launched following their latest unsuccessful onslaught on our state in 1973, has gained many believers and followers.!
By now, more than 35 years later, there are few and far between, who can tell truth and reality from the big lie!
Now, even some of our own people refer to the Arabs in Judea and Samaria, as “Palestinians”! Judea and Samaria, are now, not “merely” “the ”West Bank”, but “occupied Palestinian Territory” in the journalistic jargon of almost every media world wide!!
But it's our own fault! Language and it's proper use matter, and the Arabs are feeding on careless and inadvertent use of words on our part and on the part of our and foreign media.
It matters not that there never was an Arab “Palestinian” people hood, nor an Arab “Palestinian” state in all of recorded history, the world is now clamoring for “a Palestinian State” on Israel's already small territory!
As stated before* there is no moral or legal obligation on Israel to create such a state for the bogus “Palestinians”, and to make itself vulnerable, in the process, to further Arab aggression!!
U.N. Resolution 242, which followed Arab aggression of 1967, makes no reference to “a Palestinian People” nor “a Palestinian State”. Such terms were not even known of in usage at that time.
The Oslo Peace Process was nullified by Arafat and his cohorts, who broke every provision of the Accord! Similarly, the Road Map to Peace was never adhered to Abbas, Adecisrafat's successor and partner. The Annapolis Aggreement was never ratified, by the Knesset.
The bogus claim by foreign leaders that there are previous agreements to be adhered to, is just that: Bogus!
The newly elected government of Benjamin Netanyahu must show the courage to demolish Arab propaganda and all their false claims.
The outgoing P.M. Olmert admitted at the end that despite Israel's willingness to make concessions to Abbas, there was no change or reply on the part of Abbas!
In this part of the world concessions and accommodation are seen as signs of weakness! Israel can not be, and must not be seen as weak and indecisive. We expect from the new government, better.
