Assessing the responsibility of Israel in the Middle East crisis

The most efficient & quickest way to respond to the 6 articles dealing with Israeli cupability is through a myths & facts format. B"SD

Section 1: addresses KK's article:

MYTH: Israel must bears some responsibility to Islamic hostility because the Jewish people brought the concept of monotheism with a punishing G-d to her daughter religions, Christianity & Islam, & this created religious differences amongst people that has lead to border disputes & wars.

FACT: Pre-Judaic religions also had wars as witnessed by the biblical 4 king who rebelled against their 5 king "masters." Their wars were based on greed of power & NOT religion. Stalin, too, was quite divorced from religion, yet he managed to put to death 60 million human beings. Judaism gave humanity the concept of peace as an idea as well as the nobility & sanctity of mankind as a whole. Judaism also taught humanity to care for its weak. Judaism & Jews are no more responsible for Islam's terrorism as a mother is for her son who turns out as a terrorist.

MYTH: Israel's not keeping up a dialogue with the FATAH Party strengthens HAMAS.

FACT: Gazan Arabs democratically REJECTED FATAH & chose HAMAS in their place. FATAH personnel ran for their lives to the Israel-Gaza border & Israel allowed them free passage into Judea & Samaria. FATAH is now cut off from Gaza & has no way to influence the people there with or without Israeli dialoging with them.

MYTH: Former Prime Minister Ariel (Ariq) Sharon's walk on the Mount of Solomon's Temple caused the 2001 Intifida/Uprising.

FACT: Former FATAH Chairman Yassir Arafat himself said that the Intifada had been planned BEFORE Sharon's walk. The Temple Mount is
