 Answer a fool according to his folly

(An Answer to a Jewish Chain Letter)

 

Maybe you have received one of those annoying letters brandishing alleged Jewish claims on Palestine; it is admittedly low genre, and not worthy to be replied, but the Proverbs (26:5) teach: “Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes.” So my replies (in low case) are as brief as claims (in upper case), and probably equally warped.

Dear Mr. Shamir,

 

I had the following letter from a friend in the U S, and if there is anyone who can help me with the TRUE dates, numbers and facts I am sure it will be  you...first I thought why would I want to bother with someone like that? but then I thought these are the types who are poisoning the American mind. I know you have much more important things to follow on than this, but if you can give me some facts about the points that he mentions I would really appreciate it.

 

God bless you and keep your "voice of truth and wisdom" roaring in this deaf world.

 

An ardent reader of your articles and books

 

Sincerely

 

Ibrahim

 

The following is the letter, I am sure some points are going to make you just as mad as they made me....thanks again....Ibrahim

 

SUBJECT:  JERUSALEM

 

1.  **ISRAEL** BECAME A STATE IN 1312 B.C., TWO MILLENNIA BEFORE ISLAM;

 

Wrong. A princedom called Israel came to existence 500 years later, and it had no relation to the ‘Jews’ who appeared a millennium later. ‘Jews’ are not even mentioned in the Torah of Moses, only in the very late books of Esther and Ezra. Islam, or belief in One God, was established by Abraham/Ibrahim a millennium earlier, while Muhammad just returned to its roots.

 

2. ARAB REFUGEES FROM **ISRAEL** BEGAN CALLING THEMSELVES

"PALESTINIANS" IN 1967, TWO DECADES AFTER (MODERN) ISRAELI STATEHOOD;

 

Wrong. The native dwellers of Palestine were called “Palestinians” by Herodotes in 5th century BC, 2500 years before  (modern) Israeli statehood; but Herodotes never heard of Jews, though he walked across the whole land. Jews appeared three hundred years later.

 

3. AFTER CONQUERING THE LAND IN 1272 B.C., JEWS RULED IT FOR A THOUSAND

YEARS AND MAINTAINED A CONTINUOUS PRESENCE THERE FOR 3,300 YEARS;

 

Wrong. The Jews conquered the land in 168 BC and ruled it for 100 years until Palestine was liberated by the Roman general Pompey the Great for they killed and pillaged the natives overmuch. Another 100 years later, there was not a single Jew in Jerusalem.

 

4. THE ONLY ARAB RULE FOLLOWING CONQUEST IN 633 B.C. LASTED JUST 22

YEARS;

 

Wrong. King Herod (1st century BC) was as full-blooded Arab as Omar ibn Hattab (7th century AD) and as the Mayor of united Jerusalem, Ragheb Nashashibi in 20th century.

 

5. FOR OVER 3,300 YEARS, **JERUSALEM** WAS THE JEWISH CAPITAL. IT WAS

NEVER THE CAPITAL OF ANY ARAB OR MUSLIM ENTITY. EVEN UNDER JORDANIAN RULE,

 

Wrong. Jerusalem was the capital of Jews for 100 years (2nd  – 1st  century BC), and it was the capital of Christian Kingdom for 100 years, and a capital of a Muslim and Christian province for 1900 years, while it was the holy place of pilgrimage for all its history.

 

(EAST) **JERUSALEM** WAS NOT MADE THE CAPITAL, AND NO ARAB LEADER CAME TO VISIT IT;

 

Jerusalem was the centre of pilgrimage, and Arab, Muslim and Christian leaders came to venerate there, until being forbidden to enter by the Jews, while [first PM] David Ben Gurion went to New York before he came to visit Jerusalem, and [first President] Haim Weitzman hated the city.

 

6. **JERUSALEM** IS MENTIONED OVER 700 TIMES IN THE BIBLE, BUT NOT ONCE

IS IT MENTIONED IN THE QUR'AN;

 

Jerusalem is not mentioned in the Torah of Moses even once, while there are thousands of Muslim stories about Jerusalem, and Jerusalem is the place of Crucifixion and Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

 

7. KING DAVID FOUNDED **JERUSALEM**; MOHAMMED NEVER SET FOOT IN IT;

 

Wrong. Jerusalem was founded six hundred years before King David, who was a Muslim prophet and ancestor of Christ anyway, and the Prophet Muhammad prayed there in his praying place, while one of the most important events in life of Muhammad (al-Miraj) took place in Jerusalem as described in Koran. Jewish connection to King David? They bombed this hotel!

 

8. JEWS PRAY FACING **JERUSALEM**; MUSLIMS FACE **MECCA**. IF THEY ARE

BETWEEN THE TWO CITIES, MUSLIMS PRAY FACING **MECCA**, WITH THEIR BACKS TO **JERUSALEM**;

 

Christians and Muslims venerate God in Jerusalem, Jews crucified Him there.

 

9. IN 1948, ARAB LEADERS URGED THEIR PEOPLE TO LEAVE, PROMISING TO

CLEANSE THE LAND OF JEWISH PRESENCE. 68% OF THEM FLED WITHOUT EVER

   SETTING EYES ON AN ISRAELI SOLDIER;

 

In 2006, Jewish leaders did not ask their people to leave, but 70% of them ran away from the North in fear of Hizbollah missiles without ever setting eyes on a Lebanese guerrilla.

 

10. VIRTUALLY THE ENTIRE JEWISH POPULATION OF MUSLIM COUNTRIES HAD TO FLEE AS THE RESULT OF VIOLENCE AND POGROMS;

 

Virtually entire Christian and Muslim population of Jerusalem was forcefully expelled from the Jewish occupation zone in 1948, while the Jews of Iraq, Morocco and Egypt enjoyed peace and prestige.

 

 

11. SOME 630,000 ARABS LEFT ISRAEL IN 1948, WHILE CLOSE TO A MILLION

JEWS WERE FORCED TO LEAVE THE MUSLIM COUNTRIES;

 

Arab Jews were seduced or forced by Zionists to leave their homes, while the Palestinians were expelled by the same Zionists.

 

12. IN SPITE OF THE VAST TERRITORIES AT THEIR DISPOSAL, ARAB REFUGEES

WERE DELIBERATELY PREVENTED FROM ASSIMILATING INTO THEIR HOST COUNTRIES. OF 100 MILLION REFUGEES FOLLOWING WORLD WAR 2, THEY ARE THE ONLY GROUP TO HAVE NEVER INTEGRATED WITH THEIR CORELIGIONISTS. MOST OF THE JEWISH REFUGEES FROM **EUROPE** AND **ARAB LANDS** WERE SETTLED IN **ISRAEL**, A COUNTRY NO LARGER THAN NEW **JERSEY**;

 

The Palestinians are forever faithful to Palestine, while Jews do not mind to change countries and allegiances.

 

 

13. THERE ARE 22 MUSLIM COUNTRIES, NOT COUNTING **PALESTINE**. THERE IS

ONLY ONE JEWISH STATE. ARABS STARTED ALL FIVE WARS AGAINST **ISRAEL**, AND LOST EVERY ONE OF THEM;

 

Jews live in 160 states, and sit in parliaments of 10 countries; there are or were Jewish premier ministers in France, Russia, Austria etc. In the Jewish state, there are no goy ministers, and goyim – whether Christian or Muslim have no full rights, even if they were born there.

 

Arabs started only one war, in 1973, and were victorious then, and in 2006 as well. The Jews won only one war, in 1967, because they perfidiously attacked without declaring the war.

 

14. FATAH AND HAMAS CONSTITUTIONS STILL CALL FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF

**ISRAEL**. **ISRAEL** CEDED MOST OF THE WEST BANK AND ALL OF **GAZA** TO THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY, AND EVEN PROVIDED IT WITH ARMS;

 

“Destruction of Israel” means elimination of its racist character, like destruction of the Aryan Third Reich eliminated its racism, but preserved Germany. “Destruction” of Dixie, or of Rhodesia was also blessing for all concerned.

 

Israel ceded nothing to the PNA but the right to clean streets. Israeli army and police may, and does enter anyplace in the West Bank and Gaza which remain surrounded by the Jewish forces. 

 

15. DURING THE JORDANIAN OCCUPATION, JEWISH HOLY SITES WERE VANDALIZED AND WERE OFF LIMITS TO JEWS. UNDER ISRAELI RULE, ALL MUSLIM AND CHRISTIAN HOLY SITES ARE ACCESSIBLE TO ALL FAITHS;

 

The Jews do not allow any Muslim below age of 45 to pray in the Mosque of al Aqsa, they do not allow Christians of Bethlehem to celebrate Easter in Jerusalem and do not allow Christians of Jerusalem to celebrate Christmas in Bethlehem.

 

16. OUT OF 175 UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTIONS UP TO 1990,

97 WERE AGAINST **ISRAEL**; OUT OF 690 GENERAL ASSEMBLY RESOLUTIONS,

429 WERE AGAINST **ISRAEL**;

 

And Israel accepted and fulfilled only one of them which equated Zionism with racism.

 

18. THE U.N. WAS SILENT WHEN THE JORDANIANS DESTROYED 58 SYNAGOGUES IN THE **OLD CITY** OF **JERUSALEM**. IT REMAINED SILENT WHILE **JORDAN** SYSTEMATICALLY DESECRATED THE ANCIENT JEWISH CEMETERY ON THE **MOUNT OF OLIVES**, AND IT REMAINED SILENT WHEN **JORDAN** ENFORCED APARTHEID LAWS PREVENTING JEWS FROM ACCESSING THE **TEMPLE MOUNT** AND WESTERN WALL.

 

The Jews destroyed one thousand mosques and churches in 1948; they besieged the Church of Nativity in 2002, they. Jews also desecrated hundreds of Christian and Muslim cemeteries, turned the mosque of Caesarea into a bar, and demolished the 5th century Church of St Barbara. Jews also enforced apartheid laws preventing goyim from coming back to the places they were born.

 

 

THESE ARE TRYING TIMES. WE MUST ASK OURSELVES WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING, AND WHAT WE WILL TELL OUR GRANDCHILDREN ABOUT OUR ACTIONS DURING THIS CRISIS, WHEN WE HAD THE CHANCE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

 

START NOW! SEND THIS MESSAGE TO 20 FRIENDS, AND ASK EACH OF THEM TO

SEND IT TO 20 MORE.  JEWISH OR NOT, IT DOES NOT MATTER.

 

That’s right! Do it!

TRUTH AND PEACE ARE VALUES COMMON TO ALL OF US. EVERYONE MUST KNOW!

Let them!
