Having reviewed many of the fictions that comprise the Palestinian mythology, Part 3 of the letter is devoted to presenting the information that comprises the real historic record.

Concerning the information already presented, all of it is very accessible and common to many websites published by groups concerned with the truth about Israel and the on-going pan-Arab effort to “wipe Israel off the map.” Simply use any search engine employing the terms “Arab Israeli conflict myth” to examine some of the facts mentioned. A good place to start is: http://www.palestinefacts.org/pf_faq_palestine.php.

Now, on to the facts in support of the actual historic record.

Israel became a nation in 1312 BCE, two thousand years before the rise of Islam. The Jewish people held dominion over the land in question for centuries, with a continuous presence in the land for the past 3,300 years. For over three thousand years Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital. The only Arab dominion since the conquest in 635 CE lasted no more than 22 years. Jerusalem has never been the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. During the twenty years that Jordan occupied Jerusalem (1948-1967), it never sought to make it its capital. Under Jordanian rule, Jewish holy sites were desecrated: synagogues in the Old City were torched and tombstones from the ancient Mount of Olives cemetery were used to pace roads and build latrines (the Nazis desecrated Jewish tombstones in similar manner). Jews were denied access to places of worship at the Western Wall, Tomb of Rachel, Tomb of Joseph, and cave of the Patriarchs. Arab refugees in Israel only began identifying themselves as part of “a Palestinian people” in 1967, two decades after the establishment of the modern State of Israel.

Take into thoughtful consideration the significance of the fact that Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in the Jewish Bible and is not mentioned once in the Qur’an.

The Arab world includes twenty-two separate nations. There is only one Jewish nation. The Arab nations have initiated five wars—attempts to annihilate Israel—since 1948. Israel has had to defend itself repeatedly from each attack by an overwhelmingly larger force. Despite this fact, Israel has consistently agreed to peace partition plans brokered by the international community. The Arab world has rejected all partition plans offered by the international community, defiantly refusing to acknowledge Israel’s right to exist. The PLO Charter still calls for the destruction of the State of Israel. So does the Hamas covenant, as well as the founding document of Fatah. Israel attempted to give the PLO-Fatah-Hamas-Palestinian Authority autonomous rule over most of Judea under the Oslo Agreement. Tragically, Arafat’s regime refused to accept responsibility. So has Mahmoud Abbas, Arafat’s “successor” (who’s Ph.D thesis was written in support of holocaust denial). Autonomy under the Palestinian Authority has supplied Israel's enemies with weapons rather than motivation to achieve true peace. Israel has given the Palestinians most of the "West Bank" land and now, Gaza as well. Out of the violent madness erupting with that latest "land-for-peace" deal, a standing army, that some sources put at 7,000 to 10,000, is forming in Gaza.

Since 1948, when a UN resolution set the State of Israel on its way, the UN has been a part of the on-going evolution of the struggle between Israel and the Palestinian Arabs with binding and non-binding resolutions, peace keeping forces, peace conferences and investigations. Unfortunately, an alliance between Arab states, third-world countries hostile to the developed world, and Cold War politics backed by the former Soviet Union, have created a UN environment that is uniquely hostile to Israel.

Of the 175 Security Council resolutions passed before 1990, 97 were directed against Israel.

Of the 690 General Assembly resolutions voted on before 1990, 429 were directed against Israel.

On the other hand, the U.N. has been totally silent on the Palestinian history of suicide bombings, lynchings, terrorist attacks, bus hijackings, cafe bombings, etc.

For one side of the argument – the Israeli side – there is documented evidence supporting the substance of the national position. For the other side – the Arab (“Palestinian”) side – there is largely myth constructed of omitted and distorted fact.

One tragic conclusion that can be drawn is that behind the headlines and mass media talk of negotiated peace is the stark reality that in the treacherous lexicon of the PLO-Fatah-Hamas-PA pseudo-government that’s been created from these false assumptions, the term “peace” has been re-defined. It is strategically employed as a synonym for the deeper Arab-Islamic objective: the destruction of Israel.

In the hands of Israel's lethal enemies, the term “peace” itself has been turned into a code word for hatred and genocidal intent.

And then, of course, there is Iran to consider—the creative source of Islamo-fascism in the seventies and the most powerful state sponsor of worldwide Islamic jihadist terrorism today—as a soon-to-be nuclear threat.

Dear fellow Christian, can’t you see that through the acceptance of lies presented as fact, and the resulting misplaced loyalties, that the world has again succeeded in creating yet another Frankenstein. A post-Auschwitz Frankenstein. Tragically, much of institutional Christianity has succeeded in passively complying once again with the lethal enemies of Israel, the United States, the free world at large, and, ironically, ultimately, Christianity itself. This should not be so.

However, unlike the hauntingly similar path that was taken by the state churches of Germany that led to the Holocaust sixty-five years ago, there is still time for Christians to wake up and do as the Bible teaches us to do: resist evil.
