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.

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
