truth or fiction ????

This was in the British Daily Sport arguably the worst newspaper in the UK but they do occasionally get it right!


The View from Here
If you're going to boycott Israel - do it properly!
"OK. So I understand that you are ticked off at Israel, and
in love with the Palestinians. That's fine with me, as long as you
have truly weighed up all the facts.
So, you want to boycott Israel? I'll be sorry to miss you,
but if you are doing it - do it properly. Let me help you.
Check all your medications. Make sure that you do not have
tablets, drops, lotions, etc., made by Abic or Teva. It may mean
that you will suffer from colds and flu this winter but, hey, that's
a small price for you to pay in your campaign against Israel, isn't
it?
While we are on the subject of your Israeli boycott, and
the medical contributions to the world made by Israeli doctors and
scientists, how about telling your pals to boycott the
following.....
An Israeli company has developed a simple blood test that
distinguishes between mild and more severe cases of Multiple
Sclerosis. So, if you know anyone suffering from MS, tell them to
ignore the Israeli patent that may, more accurately, diagnose their
symptoms.
An Israeli-made device helps restore the use of paralyzed
hands. This device electrically stimulates the hand muscles,
providing hope to millions of stroke sufferers and victims of spinal
injuries. If you wish to remove this hope of a better quality of
life to these people, go ahead and boycott Israel.
Young children with breathing problems will soon be sleeping
more soundly, thanks to a new Israeli device called the Child Hood.
This innovation replaces the inhalation mask with an improved drug
delivery system that provides relief for child and parent. Please
tell anxious mothers that they shouldn't use this device because of
your passionate cause.
These are just a few examples of how people have benefited
medically from the Israeli know-how you wish to block. Boycotts
often affect research. A new research center in Israel hopes to
throw light on brain disorders such as depression and Alzheimer's
disease. The Joseph Sangol Neuroscience Center in the Sheba Medical
Center at Tel HaShomer Hospital, aims to bring thousands of
scientists and doctors to focus on brain research.
A researcher at Israel's Ben Gurion University has succeeded
in creating human monoclonal antibodies which can neutralize the
highly contagious smallpox virus without inducing the dangerous side
effects of the existing vaccine.
Two Israelis received the 2004 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
Doctors Ciechanover and Hershko's research and discovery of one of
the human cells most important cyclical processes will lead the way
to DNA repair, control of newly produced proteins, and immune
defense systems.
The Movement Disorder Surgery program at Israel's Hadassah
Medical Center has successfully eliminated the physical
manifestations of Parkinson's disease in a select group of patients
with a deep brain stimulation technique. For women who undergo
hysterectomies each year for the treatment of uterine fibroids, the
development in Israel of the Ex Ablate 2000 System is a welcome
breakthrough, offering a noninvasive alternative to surgery.
Israel is developing a nose drop that will provide a five
year flu vaccine. These are just a few of the projects that you can
help stop with your Israeli boycott.
But let's not get too obsessed with my ducal research, there
are other ways you can make a personal sacrifice with your
anti-Israel boycott. Most of Windows operating systems were
developed by Microsoft-Israel. So, set a personal example. Throw
away your computer!
Computers should have a sign attached saying Israel Inside.
The Pentium NMX Chip technology was designed at Intel in Israel.
Both the Pentium 4 microprocessor and the Centrum processor were
entirely designed, developed, and produced in Israel.
Voice mail technology was developed in Israel. The technology for
the AOL Instant Messenger ICQ was developed in 1996 in Israel by
four young Israeli whiz kids.
Both Microsoft and Cisco built their only R. & D. facilities
outside the US in Israel. So, due to your complete boycott of
anything Israeli, you now have poor health and no computer. But
your bad news does not end there. Get rid of your cellular phone.
Cell phone technology was also developed in Israel by MOTOROLA
which has its biggest development center in Israel. Most of the
latest technology in your mobile phone was developed by Israeli
scientists.
Feeling unsettled? You should be. Part of your personal
security rests with Israeli inventiveness, borne out of our urgent
necessity to protect and defend our lives from the terrorists you
support.
A phone can remotely activate a bomb, or be used for tactical
communications by terrorists, bank robbers, or hostage-takers. It is
vital that official security and law enforcement authorities have
access to cellular jamming and detection solutions. Enter Israel's
Net line Communications Technologies with their security expertise
to help the fight against terror.
SO ALL THE NOISE ABOUT THE USA LISTENING TO OUR PRIVATE TELEPHONE
CALLS, YOU SHOULD KNOW IT IS ISRAEL WHO IS DOING THE LISTENING FOR
US.
A joint, nonprofit, venture between Israel and Maryland will
result in a 5 day Business Development and Planning Conference next
March. Elected Israeli companies will partner with Maryland firms to
provide innovation to the US need for homeland security.
I also want you to know that Israel has the highest ratio of
university degrees to the population in the world. Israel produces
more scientific papers per capita - 109 per 10,000 - than any other
nation. Israel has the highest number of startup companies per rata.
In absolute terms, the highest number, except the US. Israel has
ratio of
patents filed. Israel has the highest concentration of hi-tech
companies outside of Silicon Valley. Israel is ranked 2 in the world
for venture capital funds, behind the USA. Israel has more museums
per capita. Israel has the second highest publication of new books
per capita.
Relative to population, Israel is the largest immigrant
absorbing nation on earth. These immigrants come in search of
democracy, religious freedom or expression, economic opportunity,
and quality of life.
Believe it or not, Israel is the only country in the world
which had a net gain in the number of trees last year. Even Warren
Buffet of Berkshire-Hathaway fame has just invested millions with
Israeli Companies.
So, you can vilify and demonize the State of Israel. You can
continue your silly boycott, if you wish. But I wish you would
consider the consequences, and the truth.
Think of the massive contribution that Israel is giving to
the world, including the Palestinians - and to you - in science,
medicine, communications, security. Pro rata for population we are
making a greater contribution than any other nation on earth.
We can't be all bad....."

So .... When I rob you at gunpoint, and take your money, it's OK, because of all the "good" I do with it ?

I still think the state of Israel should have been in Germany as payback for all the Germans did to them.
Iran is right.
 
Chris, So you were robbed at gunpoint by someone that was Jewish?
 
Brandon-you seem to be historically challenged – The historical homeland of the Jews is Israel not Germany. After the war Germany was divided by the victors and a vote in the UN to give Israel a state of its own-just a small strip of land amongst the vast territory of the middle east-that is the facts giving them part of Germany would not have worked at all-even the far left has yet come up with this revision.

I KNOW where the historical homeland of the Jews was, and Palestine was NOT given to them, they took it!

Read all about it ?

Following World War II, the British announced their intention to withdraw from the British mandate of Palestine. The United Nations General Assembly proposed the partition of Palestine into two states, an Arab state and a Jewish state, with Jerusalem to be under United Nations administration. Most Jews in Palestine accepted the proposal, while most of the Arabs in Palestine rejected it.

Violence between Arab and Jewish communities erupted almost immediately. Toward the end of the British mandate, the Jews planned to declare a separate state, a development the Arabs were determined to prevent. On May 14, 1948, the last British forces withdrew from Palestine, and the Jews, led by David Ben-Gurion, declared the creation of the State of Israel, in accordance with the 1947 UN Partition Plan.

Immediately following the Declaration of Independence of the State of Israel, Egyptian, Syrian, Iraqi, Jordanian, and Lebanese forces invaded the newly formed state on all fronts. In a desperate and costly war, Israel's newly formed and largely makeshift army eventually repelled the attacking armies, and then advanced its forces to occupy some of the territory set aside under the Partition Plan for the Arabs and for the City of Jerusalem. A cease fire agreement was signed between the two sides, with the current front line becoming the boundary between Israel and the Arab territories. As a result of the 1948 war, Israel controlled all the territory allotted to them under the Partition Plan, much of the territory allotted to the Arabs under the Plan, and half of what was to be the UN-administered City of Jerusalem. The remaining Arab territories were the West Bank and the Gaza Strip; the West Bank was administered by Jordan, while the Gaza Strip was administered by Egypt.

In 1949, under UN auspices, four armistice agreements were negotiated and signed at Rhodes, Greece, between Israel and its neighbors Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. The 1948-49 War of Independence resulted in a 50% increase in Israeli territory, including western Jerusalem. No general peace settlement was achieved at Rhodes, however, and violence along the borders continued for many years.

As a result of this war, about 711,000 Arab refugees were created (according to the United Nations Conciliation Commission for Palestine[2]) and over 800,000 Jewish refugees were created. The latter figure includes all Jews who fled or were expelled from Arab states after Israel was created. Pro-Palestinian sources call these people emigrants, rather than refugees. Pro-Israeli commentators hold that the Jewish exodus from Arab lands, many of which communities had been established for more than 2000 years, came as a result of violence and persecution. About 600,000 of the Jewish refugees settled in the State of Israel, having neither intention nor willingness to return to their source countries; many of the Arab refugees, and their descendants, remain to this day in refugee camps run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).

On July 5, 1950, the Knesset passed the Law of Return which granted all Jews the right to immigrate to Israel. Even prior to the passing of that law, immigrants flocked to Israel, some assisted by Israeli authorities. From 1947 to 1950 some 250,000 Holocaust survivors made their way to Israel. "Operation Magic Carpet" brought thousands of Yemenite Jews to Israel.

The early years were not easy for the newly founded state, and a state of austerity was put into force in 1949, not to be fully annulled until 1959.



The Jews left the middle east, gave it up, yet they got to get their old home back!

Kinda like my British ancestors coming to America, having kids and grandkids, and then the great grandkids get to displace familys in London because my great great grandparents once lived there, LOL

How about an American Indian shows up at your door someday and asks for his land back ....
 
They also have the best Airport and Airline security in the world.
 
grant, a very interesting article. There are countries in the world who do boycott Isreal, Isreali goods, and even companies that do business w/Isreal. The last I do know for a fact, as we had friends who went to Saudi Arabia to teach school. They were not allowed to import goods made by countries or companies who did business w/Isreal. Yes, the Arabs will not allow Isreali goods into their countries.

Becker sounds german, but ironically there ARE German Jews!
