Mis-Understanding the Arab Israeli Conflict by the Average Irishman & European

Tim Wise's misleading article below actually becomes the problem that he is trying to address.

Focussing on the Palestininan Israeli Conflict as the problem to be resolved is a major blockage preventing a real long term solution.

The current conflict is a small part of a much bigger and more serious problem. It is an integral part of the attack (to the death) by the Arabs as a nation, on the Jews, as a people, begun in the 1930's, climaxing from time to time - 1948, 1967, 1973 etc., and continued to this day.

Much worse: It is fast becoming clear, that even this terrible scenario is a small part of a much bigger attack by a growing global group of manipulating power-hungry dictators, hate-breeding murderers, posing-as-religious leaders (so-called Islamic Fundamentalists). Their long term attack is not just on the Jews, but on the free-thinking non-Muslim western world in total.

If the 'average' Irishman, European and American is to ever understand the conflict, they need first to hear and understand the TRUTH: The "Goliath" is the Arabs cum Islamic Fundamentalists with their global billion barrels of oil revenue as their fearful weapon. The "David" is the Jews, back in their homeland called Israel with their slingshot of TRUTH.

As long as the western media and leadership continues to swallow and regurgitate the grotesque myth that the Philistine Goliath is in fact the Jewish David, and vica versa, true understanding will never prevail.
