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/Jews must remake their G-d into One that is not interested in humanity so that Islamic fantacism will fade away.
FACT: Islam was never influenced directly by Judaism so even if Judaism would remake G-d, it would not help. Besides that, Judaism has a divine mandate to deliver its message unchanged & that message insists that G-d is deeply interested in humanity making good choices.
Section 2: addresses AB's article:
MYTH: Israel's not making concessions in Gaza & Trans-Jordan (Judea & Samaria) to the "moderate" FATAH has aggravated the Palestinian-Israel Conflict.
FACT: Israel then Prime Minister Ehud Baraq offered Palestinian Authority Head Yassir Arafat over 95% of those lands & he not only REFUSED to accept them, but initiated another intifada/uprising.
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 in fact not Muslim property for King Solomon was the son of the Jewish King David.
MYTH: Former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was an extremist & therefore made mistakes of an extremist.
FACT: Former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was responsible for bending over backwards to expell every Israeli citizen from Gaza & give their property to Gazan Arabs.
MYTH: Israel was responsible for the Massacre of Sabra & Shatila in Lebanon.
FACT: Christian Lebanese slaughtered Palestinian refugees, Israeli Jews were uninvolved & Ariel Sharon even successfully sued Time Magazine for libel for claiming the contrary. Israeli citizens were revolted by the massacre & tens of thousands protested the act in the streets of Tel Aviv.
MYTH: Israel did not use enough force & speed to defeat Hezbollah in the Second Lebanese War & this caused civilian casualties.
FACT: Hezbollah, like HAMAS, attacks & hides in civilian areas which causes unavoidable civilian casualties whenever they are counterattacked.
Section 3: addresses EN's article:
MYTH: Israel has condemned Palestinian Arabs to live in camps with no country of their own.
FACT: Israel resettled around 700,000 Arab Jews who fled their ancient Arab homelands to return to their ancesteral homeland of Israel. Five Arab countries attacked Israel upon her birth/creation, urging Arab residents there to flee until the Jews would be thrown into the sea. Many of the Arab residents fled, but the five attacking Arab countries lost the war (1948) & since then the 22 Arab countries, unlike Israel, has refused to resettle their refugees.
MYTH: Israel uses excessive force against attacking Arab countries.
FACT: If Arabs would stop attacking then Israel would use NO force. Unfortunately, Arabs are seemed to be humiliated that a non-Arab, non-Islamic state exists in the Middle East & relentlessly pursue all means to destroy her as they've done to the formerly non-Islamic state of Lebanon, the non-Arab Copts of Egypt & the non-Arab Kurds of Iraq.
MYTH: Jews are the masters of Arabs.
FACT: There are 22 INDEPENDENT Arab states in the Middle East & Maghreb. Israeli Arabs have more rights that Arabs that live in any of the 22 Arabs states. Islamic use of jihad & intifada/uprisings are far more extreme than anything that Israel has done to Arabs.
MYTH: Non-indigenous Jews stole Palestinian land from indigenous Arabs.
FACT: The JNF (Jewish National Fund) was set up specifically with the mission of BUYING BACK the land of Israel. Arabs are NOT indigenous to Palestine. Arabs are conquering colonialists from Arabia who have usurped non-Arab Kurdistan, non-Arab Phonecian Lebanon, non-Arab Coptic Egypt as well as non-Arab Black Sudan. Many so-called Palestinians still bare such names as "Masari," meaning "Egyptian" & "Halabi," meaning from "Aleppo, Syria," clearing indicating that their roots are NOT in "Palestine."
MYTH: Israel expelled Muslims in the War of Independence of 1948.
FACT: Israel invited her Arab residents to join her as full citizens, but many Arabs fled in expectation of the five Arab countries attacking & defeating Israel.
MYTH: Israel should only kill attacking Arabs at the same rate that Arabs kill Israeli Jews.
FACT: Israel is only interested in stopping further attacks & not in maintaining a kill ratio.
Section 4: addresses RSC's article:
MYTH: Pre-State of Israel British rule was impartial.
FACT: The British did everything they could to undermine future Jewish independence, especially by arming the Arabs.
MYTH: Israel denies human rights, property rights & civil rights to Arabs.
FACT: Anyone whose property is registered in the Ottoman Tabu Land Registry can legally claim it in an Israeli court of law. This is done quite frequently in Israel. There are over 1 million Arabs in Israel who live on their legally purchased land.
MYTH: Israel doesn't play by the rules of the rest of the world & therefore there can be no peace with her.
FACT: Israel does NOT play by the rules of the rest of the world, she is MORE merciful. In the recent War Against HAMAS in Gaza Israel telephoned Gazan residents with 15 minute warnings of imminent attack so that they could flee for their lives. No other country does this during a war. Israel also dropped flyers warning civilians to move to a certain area to avoid an imminent attack, no other country does this either. Israel waited EIGHT YEARS to respond to Gaza's rocket attacks, no other country has waited this long either. Maybe Israel is being too nice? Have Arab countries EVER done something similar?
MYTH: Israel denies Arabs economic & political freedom.
FACT: Israel has active Arab political parties that freely participate in her parliament. Israel is full of Arab businesses who are free to ply their trade to all.
MYTH: Israel holds tens of thousands of Palestinian prisoners, many without charge.
FACT: Those Palestinians have been tried & convicted by court. America has tens of thousands of BLACK prisoners, does that mean that they are somehow innocent? How many ARAB countries torture, imprison without charge, amputate limbs, deny non-Muslims their civil & human rights? Israeli Arabs do NOT want to be under Palestinian rule.

FACT: This was actually a solid article.
Section 5: addresses BM's article:
