Pierre Rehov's Middle East Documentaries

"Palestinian mythology is based on an absurd "martyrology " that every  
reporter working in the "territories " is forced to buy, in order to 
work safely. There is no freedom of press under the Palestinian 
Authority, and no journalist can report honestly without risking his 
life...."

On U.S., Arafat, Israel ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Evil's Advantage Over Conscience Why the West gives Yasser Arafat endless second chances by Norman Doidge  From WorldNetDaily: 'Arabian Knight' By Aliza Davidovit This article is about the Arab American journalist Joseph Farah,  editor and chief executive officer of World Net Daily http://worldnetdaily.com/ Floor Statement of U.S. Senator James M. Inhofe Contains challenging historical facts plus reference to what happened at the last Camp David in the summer of 2000, when then Prime Minister of Israel Ehud Barak offered the most generous concessions to Yasser Arafat that had ever been laid on the table, including more than 90 percent of all the West Bank territory.   MIDDLE EAST MEDIA RESEARCH INSTITUTE http://www.memri.org (MEMRI is a small, nonprofit organization with offices in Jerusalem and Washington, dedicated to monitoring the Arabic-language media in Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, Israel and the Palestinian territories, and translating important dispatches into English. These dispatches are generally never reported in our media, despite MEMRI's work)   FrontPage magazine A U.S. based lifelong civil rights activist, David Horowitz launches his Defense of Israel Campaign  to counter "wholesale fabrications that are repeated with a minimum of skepticism by the media" Islam: The Religion of Peace ... explanation from the website: "Peace can have two different meanings. Westerners usually think of peace as being free to live one's life as one pleases, and allowing others the freedom to do the same. But peace is also a condition that can be brought about through subjugation, in which unbelievers are brought under the domination of Islam to live meekly as dhimmis. Regrettably, this is the sort of peace that the Qur'an and Hadiths (the Islamic traditions) teach. ... Islam will be a peaceful religion when Muslims stop preaching hate, stop killing in the name of Allah, and stop remaining apathetic to the violence. Until this happens, we will faithfully document the each of the reasons why this is anything but a "Religion of Peace." FLAME (Facts and Logic About the Middle East) description:  presents the truth about Israel and the Middle East conflict to the attention of an American public that is mostly uninformed and misinformed about these matters by the general media.
