note: i put the word arab in quotations when i say -israeli "arab", and "palestinian"- on purpose. you'll see why when Ты read your way to the last myth
Also tell me if Ты spot spelling and/or grammar errors in this
Myth 1:“The Jews have no claim to the land they call Israel.”
fact:When the jews were kicked out the holy land by the romans, the romans weren't able to kick all of them out. also some jews did return to their Главная sometime after the diaspora. when the muslim empire conquered the holy land, it wasn't jew-free. many of the jewish people there mixed in the conquering arabs. then later, they were conquered by the ottoman turks, and then by england. so many "palestinians" and israeli arabs probably have jewish ancestry in them which makes this issue on lawn ownership еще complicated. yes, the U.N. gave the jews around the world this land after WW2, and these jews still had connect to the land. however due to the fact many arabs who lived here prior to WW2 may have jewish ancestry in them, this land belongs to both jews and palestnians/israeli-arabs.
myth 2:“The Palestinians are descendants of the Canaanites and were in Palestine long before the Jews.”
fact:the canaanite indentity disappeared over 2,000 years ago.
myth 3:“The Balfour Declaration did not give Jews a right to a homeland in Palestine.”
fact: The Brittish stupidly promised the land to both jews and arabs. they did this, just to get both people to serve their armies during WW1.
myth 4:“Zionism is racism.”
fact: no, zionism is the belief the the jews should have a homeland, in the holy land. supporting zionism isn't anti-arab. in fact, there's arab zionists
myth 5:“any critism of israel is anti-semnetic.”
fact: no, critizing a government's policies is different than racism and religous intolerance. Also, critizng israel doesn't automatically make Ты anti-zionist. one organization in israel that has been known to critize the government that i can think of is B'tselem.There's probably other ones too, but i can't think of any other right off.
myth 6: “Jews who lived in Islamic countries were well-treated by the Arabs.”
fact: Actually their treatment by the muslims varied throught out history. Sometimes the muslims treated the jews well, and other times they didn't. this relationship is unstable and unreliable.
myth 7:"Israel treats its Arab citizens as секунда class citizens."
fact: arabs can vote(including women), can hold poltical positions, and serve the army if they want to. herbew and arabic are both official languages in israel. they can travel freely too, and buy land too. секунда class citizen don't have rights like that. yes the governmenthas some work to do on making the israeli "arabs" being treated totally equal to israeli jews, but they aren't being treated as секунда class citizens. the "palestinians" in gaza and west bank are treated as секунда class citizens on the other hand, by israelis, but the "palestinian" authority treats their subjects badly too.
in fact, israeli "arabs" have еще rights than they do in any other middle eastern country.
myth 8:"all muslims oppose israel"
fact: there are Muslim supporters of Israel. Ты can even find an Статья on wikipedia dedicated to muslim zionism.
myth 9:"the israelis treat "palestinians" as animals"
fact:actually, they are treated like секунда class citizens. however the "palestinians" provoked the israeli government to treat them this way. yes, i think "palestinians" should be treated better, but they should stop teaching hate to their kids
myth 10: "israeli schools are segregated by law"
fact:jewish-only или arab-only schools mainly exist in communities that are primarily arab или jewish. they do have intergrated schools in israel though. however though, some israeli jews look down upon arabs and try to make sure that they are living in a jewish-only community. so yeah, the discrimination israeli "arabs" suffer from in the educational system isn't done by the government, it's done by jewish individuals who hold predujices against arabs.
myth 11: palestine/israel is arab land
fact: arabs do't have a long history in that area
like the israelites/jews have. also the romans didn't kick out all the israelites during the 2nd diapsora. also some israelites that were once dispersed return back sometime later. additionally, when the muslims conquered that area, they didn't kill our kick out all the israelites(who most of them were either jewish или christian) living there at the time. the muslim arabs did mix in with them though somewhat, but not as many arabs settled there in israel/palestine as many people think they did. during that era, there were still еще israelites there than there were arabs.They did force them to convert to Ислам though. they also adopted arabic culture and language, which evetually "arabized" them(if Ты don't know what arabized means type in arabization on wikipedia)
many of modern день "palestinians" and israeli "arabs" are descendants of the israelites (many modern день jews are too). in fact, dna-wise they don't share as much in common with other arabs and levatine peoples, than they do with the modern-day jews(including israeli jews).there's even palestinian people with the Cohen Modal Haplotype. however though, don't bring this fact up to a "palestinian", chances are you'll probably piss them off(but i did see a blog entry by a palestinian canadian blogger about this issue, and she seemed open-minded about this fact).
