Turn the tables? Not so fast.
by Marty Lewinter

Many news items about the middle east refer to Israel's "genocide" against the Palestinians of Gaza. This is an enormous distortion. The failed Muslim attempt to destroy the newborn state of Israel in 1948, on the other hand, was an attempt at genocide.

Muslims countries promoted anti-Israeli propaganda and attempted an economic boycott against her. In 1956, Egypt closed the Suez Canal to Israeli ships, contrary to international law.

Since the 1880''s (not a typo), Arabs have perpetrated acts of terror against the Jews, including pogroms (Jerusalem 1929, for example).

The only justifiable accusation of genocide in the middle east can be directed against Muslims who keep dreaming the dream of a second Holocaust, instead of planning for modernity and prosperity through peaceful trade.
