Why Israel doesn't answer

I often get complaints that Arabs make endless false accusations against Israel and Israel doesn't respond.

There is a simple reason, the Lefty ideologs are not now and never have been influenced by evidence that contradicts their ideology. No matter how overwhelming the evidence.

I have, however, a solution that I am forwarding to one of my policy making friends in Israel. 

I am recommending that Israel regularly issue a press release in the following form:

 
                                             
#
      
Source

3210 Hamas anti-Israel charges 2122 PA-PLO anti-Israel charges 1338 Hizbullah... charges
3112 Hamas charges investigated
by Israel
2010 PA-PLO charges investigated
by Israel
1192 Hizbullah.. investigated
3109 Hamas charges found
to be false
2004 PA-PLO charges found
to be false
1188 Hizbullah.. false
  899
Hamas charges where
Israelis were heroic or saved lives.
1127 PA-PLO charges where
Israelis were heroic or saved lives.
966
Hizbullah.. Israel heroic

While I don't have the actual numbers, these approximations make the clear point.  It is a waste of time to refute false Arab press releases. But since the false charges usually reflect some heroic action by Israelis it is worth investigating the charges.

I would personally add to the chart the number of times the BBC, NYTimes, PBS, French TV and others have taken the entire false press release as true. But Israel won't do that.
