This must also be remembered on May 15, every year.

...On May 15, the general secretary of the Arab League, Azam Faha, called a press conference in Cairo where he envisaged the Nakba in store for the Jews of Israel: "It will be a war of destruction and massacre, which will be spoken of such as the massacres of the Mongols or the Crusaders." Indeed, Arab villages were destroyed, but that occurred during a war forced upon us. We know what would have happened if we had been overcome. We saw it in the handful of cases where they won.

16 May '14..

There's no coincidence in symbols. Certainly not symbols of depth. Israel announced its independence on May 14, 1948, but the Palestinians chose May 15 to commemorate their tragedy, which in their language is called the "Nakba." This tragedy, according to the Palestinian approach, marks the destruction of the Palestinian state, which was founded even before the Earth's creation (browse through Palestinian websites and see just how absurdly they rewrite history).

The truth is that the aforementioned tragedy actually translates to the regional Arabs' unsuccessful attempt to destroy the Jewish prestate community, the remaining survivors that flocked from all four corners of the globe to the one homeland that the Jewish people ever had. On May 15, the general secretary of the Arab League, Azam Faha, called a press conference in Cairo where he envisaged the Nakba in store for the Jews of Israel: "It will be a war of destruction and massacre, which will be spoken of such as the massacres of the Mongols or the Crusaders." Indeed, Arab villages were destroyed, but that occurred during a war forced upon us. We know what would have happened if we had been overcome. We saw it in the handful of cases where they won.

The destruction of Arab villages pales in comparison to the merciless destruction of each and every Jewish community among the Arab nations, some of which were 2,500 years old, and which included the 900,000 Jews who were left not to languish in ("transitory") refugee camps but were absorbed into the young state.

A significant portion of Palestinian refugees, hundreds of thousands, came to Israel together with the waves of Zionist immigration. This land was practically empty until the 19th century. Detailed British surveyor maps from 1871-1878 convincingly reveal this simple truth. The refugees responded to calls and threats from their leaders to leave Israel behind and wait for the great massacre of the Jews. How unfortunate, it never happened.


All of the detailed material is available online, and every Israeli (anyone anywhere, actually) must read it in order to expand his knowledge of the facts to serve as a countermeasure against the great Palestinian lie, which is championed by Israel haters everywhere. (Start with the document "The Nakba is Rubbish," [Hebrew] released by Im Tirzu.)


I said that there's no coincidence in symbols of depth. On May 15, 1944, the destruction of Hungarian Jewry began. In an extremely short time, some 564,000 Jews were slaughtered and tortured to death. The global Palestinian nationalistic movement was in cahoots with the Nazi regime. Its revered leader, Haj Amin el-Husseini, met with Adolf Hitler, attempting to coax him into exterminating Middle East Jewry while enlisting several tens of thousands of Muslim fighters. Using various methods, Husseini drove the destruction of Hungarian Jewry. He fought a Hungarian initiative to smuggle out some 900 Jewish children. In the end, these children were sent to their graves. This is exactly what he asked to do with the Jews of Israel. And Husseini wasn't alone in such efforts. He has loyal followers until this very day. This must also be remembered on May 15, every year.
