The facts

Here, we present an impressive case for the only democratic state in the Middle East:
by Yair Lapid


After much delay, I recently Alan Dershowitz's film "case for Israel" views. The renowned U.S. law opens the film with the statement that he was both pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinian and he supported the two-state solution, but ... Dershowitz is neither a philosopher nor a filmmaker. He is not even right-wing. We have got used to the plea for Israel only by members of right-wing camp is held. Dershowitz, however, supports us, just because he is a leftist law professor at Harvard University, der sich mit Menschenrechten beschäftigt. Wie können sie sich trauen, Israel als Apartheidstaat zu bezeichnen? fragt er mit echter Verwunderung. Die arabische Gesellschaft zeigt Apartheid gegenüber Frauen, Apartheid gegenüber Homosexuellen und Apartheid gegenüber Christen, Juden und der Demokratie. In Saudi-Arabien werden Schwule gehängt, im Sudan geht ein Völkermord vonstatten, und in der gesamten arabischen Welt werden Frauen dafür ermordet, dass sie keinen Schleier tragen oder sich in den falschen Mann verlieben. Doch trotz all dem haben sich acht der letzten acht UN-Resolutionen, die den Menschenrechten galten, mit Israel beschäftigt - The only state in the region, in which minorities have the right to vote, a country whose legislation the Arabs from the first day involved with. If the global left - and the Israeli Left - the horrible Taliban regime, the terrible oppression of women in the Gulf States and Iran Massenerhängungsfeiern really matter? Them is not clear that all roadblocks in the West Bank, the cause certainly an ongoing human tragedy, be removed within 24 hours would be if the Palestinians would only be kind enough to stop the killing of Jews? And how is it that they speak only of the 750 000 Palestinian refugees and forget the 800 000 Jewish refugees who were expelled from Arab countries? Why no one remembers the fact that the Palestinians had only four real opportunities to establish their state, but it preferred each time to return to terrorism? And who takes out to call the security fence as an "apartheid fence" while overlooking the fact that it would be built according to international law only after more than 1,000 Israelis in less than three years had been murdered? I looked Dershowitz 'film; but instead of happy, I felt a bit stupid. Finally, I was with all these facts already familiar, so like any other Israeli them familiar. Why is it then that we are always defensive, always apologize and are losing the battle for global public opinion? course it is true that millions of petro-dollars for anti-Israeli propaganda issued (hoppla! Again I buy them from their history - there is no anti-Israeli propaganda, but simply anti-Semitism). But wie zum Teufel haben wir es geschafft, in eine Situation zu kommen, in der die Wahrheit – die einfache, schlichte, Tatsachen-basierte Wahrheit – aus der Mode gekommen ist?
