- Witnesses watched as more than 60 Palestinian shops were
bulldozed to the ground this week in one West Bank village, while the owners
stood by and watch helplessly. But not one American in ten saw or heard
about this in the US press. A educated American pro-life activist was surprised
to disbelief when I told him that the Israeli death losses run about one-fourth
the number or Palestinians killed by Israelis. He thought the statistics
were reversed, having never heard or seen a count in the US press, he has
been brain scrubbed. Misinformation by the US press is not excusable in
the Internet age. So Israel has provided an Orwellian propaganda filter
called the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs (IMFA) that makes it all
possible. It provides the convenient excuse the US press needs to look
the other way and print abridged stories, keeping most of us ignorant.
The propaganda arm of the Israeli military has once again been caught purposefully
lying about the death count among its forces. We believe their purpose
in doing this is to condition Americans into accepting Israel's use of
American-made weapons of mass destruction against the vulnerable civilian
population in Gaza and the West Bank. Israel's willing facilitator is
the US Media, which spreads their distorted stories in the USA. This same
pattern of misrepresentation is repeated again and again, proving how important
and routine propaganda is to Israel. On December 5th, the IMFA released
an account of two suspected sacrifice bombers (wrongly called suicide bombers*)
who allegedly killed 22 persons and wounded more than 100. But the press
release failed to mention that there were also Israeli military casualties
in the raid. Furthermore, their account omitted the fact that a female
army sergeant was among the killed. The omission is significant. It fits
perfectly into the predictable pattern of how the IMFA deceives Americans
almost daily. This practice repeatedly uses almost every report of Israeli
deaths to distort the facts of their conflict with the Palestinians. We
will now teach you how to read between the lies and know when the story
is distorted.
-
- THE PATTERN OF DECEPTION
-
- On November 19, 2002, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign
Affairs (IMFA) re-manufactured a similar story about a Palestinian sacrifice
raid on a military target. Twelve Israeli soldiers and paramilitary fighting
men were killed and there was no collateral damage (civilians dead).
The propagandists changed the "facts" to call the raid a "Massacre
of innocent (Israeli) civilians," as the story was carried in the
US press. It is a total and complete bald-faced lie which We Hold These
Truths alone corrected it in our article: U. S. Media, Caught Lying...
Again http://www.whtt.org/articles/021224.htm
-
- This writer put the facts together from the Israeli military's
own documents one month after the event was misreported. Do you, dear
reader, know how to recognize such lies for yourself so you don't have
to wait for us to unravel it for you? To do this one must first understand
the quaint language of the IMFA. We call these lies "z-facts"
(short for Zionist facts) meaning lies that are couched in official, narrative
sounding language but are indeed untrue. Here is how the Hebron report
was distorted by z- facts, which the Media reported as rear facts. The
first release from the IMFA read:
-
- "THE TERROR ATTACK IN HEBRON CLAIMED 12 LIVES."
and "PALESTINIAN GUNMEN" had opened fire on "JEWISH WORSHIPPERS
WALKING HOME FROM RELIGIOUS SERVICES,"
-
- Z-facts differ from bald-faced lies because they do not
state outright all the killed or wounded are civilians, but it is clearly
implied. (In those rare cases where everyone killed are indeed civilian,
the IMFA says so and saves its lies for a later day.) The truth is told
only if it suits the teller. By calling an attack on an armed military
unit a "terror attack" on "Jewish worshipers" and
"claiming 12 lives," the z-facts leave the a clear impression
that those killed were civilians. Any honest account would have called
it "an attack on Israeli military unit by Palestinian guerillas"
etc. In our previous article we explained the procedure as follows: "The
Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a propaganda arm of the Israeli
Defense Force (IDF). --They are the first to know who is killed. But they
cause the story to be circulated that all killed were civilians because
it serves their purpose. Then, once the misinformation has reached the
American public, the corrected story is allowed to surface in Israel, though
the false images are never corrected in the eyes of the American public."

ourselves, but we are the best source)
-
- In January 5th story Israel did it again. This time
every one of our readers should have detected the lie without being told.
The press in both countries used the same predictable, deceptive language.
Each stated "22 Israelis" had been killed and many more wounded.
Had all those killed or wounded had been non-military the report would
most likely have called them "civilians." The generic term "Israelis"
suggest to us that the IMFA is hiding something, not wanting to identify
who was really killed. They were.
-
- Later the same day, a sad corrected story was carried
with the names of those killed. The IMFA stated that all of the victims
had been identified and included Staff Sgt. Mazal Orkobi of Azor. Ha'aretz
subsequently revealed in an obituary that Sgt. Orkobi was a 20 year- old
female who was on her first day of active duty with the Israeli Defense
Forces. But this part of the story never reached the USA. Nor can we
find a disclosure as to how many of the 120 wounded were military. As usual,
the IMFA did not disclose those who were in the active reserves but not
on duty at the time of death.
-
- We are saddened for this poor girl in the prime of her
life, just as we are every bit as sorry for the families of the two sacrifice
bombers, about the same age. No doubt the bomber's families have already
seen their homes bulldozed to the ground. Miss Orkobi was conscripted
by her country, the sacrifice bombers were volunteer warriors. She was
a victim of her own government and of ours, who probably hung a rifle on
her shoulder based on what I saw in Israel. Her death means that the 21
civilians killed were collateral damage, as were the 15 Gaza civilians
killed in a missile raid where a 1000 pound American-made guided bomb was
targeted on one suspected Palestinian. Like Miss Orkobi, that man was
never tried and convicted of being involved in terrorism. The sacrifice
bombers are dead. No one can know who or what they targeted. It may have
been military persons in the crowd, the crowd itself, or the time and place
may have been an accident. But because military were killed and possibly
wounded, no one can conclude they targeted civilians. In all but a few
sacrifice bombings military are killed or wounded. The IMFA had two reasons
for keeping Sergeant Orkobi's name out of the print. They can garner sympathy
for their air raids if the American public believes the sacrifice bombers
are targeting civilians only. Israel kills Palestinian civilians by the
dozens and do not even bother to apologize.
-
- The second reason Israel keeps Sergeant Orkobi's name
out of American's minds is that most do not know that Israeli's draft their
girls and puts them in harms way. If American Christians knew about the
mistreatment of Israeli women, including the use of Military-paid abortion
as a birth control method, many would wonder about their unquestioned support
of the Israeli war machine.
-
- Christian Israeli Patriots such as Pat Robertson, Franklin
Graham and Jerry Falwell, who Ariel Sharon calls the Christian Zionists,
might be embarrassed to explain their undying devotion to a regime which
drafts women into combat, marches them hip to hip with men, and provides
free abortions for the resulting problems. Some might wake up and actually
wonder if boys and girls are conditioned to kill and torture Palestinian
including children. Israel and a complicit US Media solve these twin problems
by doctoring press releases with false statements that omit the loss of
military personnel in guerilla raids. Female names are never associated
with the military even though they make up about 1/3 of the total draftees.
-
- * ("Suicide bomber:" Suicide is the act of
taking ones one life for the purpose of ending it. Sacrifice bombers have
never been shown to have a desire to stop living; their motive is to find
and destroy enemy personal regardless of the cost. Thus the term "sacrifice
bombers" is more accurate in describing them. The former is an Israeli
propaganda label. )

- Read SPECIAL REPORT: SHERRY'S WAR, the anatomy of grassroots
Christian heresy. This Report is based on correspondence with Christian
laymen about their beliefs and what they consider a mandate to support
the State of Israel, regardless of the harm it does, including genocide.
Sherry is a mother, concerned for her fellow humans, and a model church-attendee,
but Sherry is also a warrior. She knows what Jesus said about loving one's
neighbors and even enemies. But her correspondence reveals she can not
bring herself to love the Palestinians. Sherry's cult of Christianity
causes her to believe that there is a "militant Islamic agenda"
to eliminate both Christians and "God's chosen people." Sherry
supports Israel's actions without question, because she believes it is
scriptural and prophetic. Sherry could be the lady (or man) sitting next
to us every Sunday in church, perhaps sharing your breakfast table, and
often at the pulpit of your church. This article examines the flawed logic
and biblical misinformation that transform this soccer mom into an instrument

DO NOT DEMAND PEACE, A How a convicted serial forger was used to falsify
and corrupt the Christian Bible. The role of the Oxford University Press
owned Scofield Reference Bible in controlling Christian thought, effectively
creating Christian Zionism from the ranks of emerging evangelicalism, and
how it was transformed into radical anti-Islamic bias. Special attention
is given to the role of the Southern Baptist Convention and of prominent
televangelists. This report may be the first to compare the several successive
editions of the Scofield Reference Bible since 1908, and to demonstrate
a pernicious pro-Israel political bias inserted between the lines of the
respected King James Edition. It makes a strong case for laying the responsibility
for the Mideast wars upon the leadership of American churches. A must
