Propaganda.

[ktryvesman]

That is a terrible, lying website.

Can we make a list of the attributes that define typical propaganda websites??

I'll start

1-they look like they were made in 1980
2-the graphics were defintely made in 1980 with MS Paint's ancestor.
3-the page goes on and on and on, rambles falsehoods in the hope that it will make you think it's real. Bad news: it works. Good news: it's still very embarrassing to do.

please do add to this list!

And for a better picture of how israel is perceived have a look at http://www.spinwhip.com/israel98 ... yolu might like it.

The site refers to Arabs a a "cancer within" and contains imagery more base than that used by the Nazis against the Jews. How can such a site be anything but BS?

[rachamim]

What needs debunking? As for "propaganda," there is nothing untrue posted there. If anyone cares to take a particular point  would love to discuss it. A typical response when confronted with unpleasant truths is to label all of the content as "propaganda." Yet not a single person could raise a single point. Talk about PROPAGANDA.

[rachamim]

I failed to see "Cancer within" on any part of the site, so I will have to call "foul" on that one. As for disturbing imagery, please. Compared to the Qu'ran itself in talking about Jews,et al the imagery, graphic or otherwise on that website is tame. I could throw up 100 Hadit by Bukhari that are many times more posionous but I am sure noone would want tot ake the converation THERE.

Instead of insulting a website, confront the facts contained therein. See something that you know to be incorrect? Why not point it out but of course then you would be forced to deal with the actual facts instead of base generlisations.

What is it that you supposedly want debunking? I didn't read all of that website but it's all pretty much undisputed well documented fact. That's not to say it isn't biased by omitting certain details which add extra balance to the article.

e.g. Saying that the entire of the mandate of Palestine (Which included what became Israel, the occupied territories and Jordan.) was offered as a Jewish state by the British state isn't true. YOu just have to go back and read the Balfour Declaration itself and the British policy White papers that followed. In particular the Churchill White paper which declared the seperation of the East and West bank and reiterated that the entire mandate was never promised to the Zionists.

It also leaves out the details of the Hussein-McMahon correspondence and the Arab revolt in WWI which is what lead to the creation of Jordan and the territory being given to the Hashimite dynasty. Or any of the cultural and social divides that already existed between the Arabs of the East anf West Bank and the Palestinians extremely strong resistance to being absorbed into Jordan.
