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 |
# |
Source |
# |
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.
