According to a 19th century legend, the Truth and the Lie meet one day. The Lie says to the Truth: "It's a marvellous day today"! The Truth looks up to the skies and sighs, for the day was really beautiful. They spend a lot of time together, ultimately arriving beside a well. The Lie tells the Truth: "The water is very nice, let's take a bath together!" The Truth, once again suspicious, tests the water and discovers that it indeed is very nice. They undress and start bathing. Suddenly, the Lie comes out of the water, puts on the clothes of the Truth and runs away. The furious Truth comes out of the well and runs everywhere to find the Lie and to get her clothes back. The World, seeing the Truth naked, turns its gaze away, with contempt and rage.
The poor Truth returns to the well and disappears forever, hiding therein, its shame. Since then, the Lie travels around the world, dressed as the Truth, satisfying the needs of society, because, the World, in any case, harbours no wish at all to meet the naked Truth.RRW

Harvard Law Professor Alan M. Dershowitz said:
The security of Israel is not assured.
Israel is the only nation in the world
whose very existence is threatened by
enemies, external and internal, supported
by a majority of the United Nations.
It is the only nation in the world
whose national movement, Zionism,
has been declared a form of racism
by the United Nations.
It is the only nation in the
world threatened by genocidal war,
the purpose of which is not military
victory alone, but extermination.
The genocide of Israel’s Jewish
population – a population roughly
the size of the Polish Jewish population
at the beginning of World War II –
is not an unrealistic nightmare.
Nothing today prevents it other than
Israel’s military superiority over
the combined Arab armies and terrorist
organizations. If the Arab armies and
terrorists were capable of defeating
Israel, destroying its Jewish population,
and “reclaiming” ALL of current
Israel, there can be little doubt
that they would try to do so.
Indeed, if any Arab leader were militarily
capable of destroying Israel, but refrained
from doing so, he would be replaced
by someone who would at least try.
...Although there are some moderate voices
within the Palestinian and Arab movements,
these voices are listened to only because Israel
is too strong today to be defeated totally.

Harvard Law Professor Alan M. Dershowitz said:
“Too few of Israel’s critics seem to
understand the Jewish determination
to avoid another Holocaust,
this one in Israel.
Too few understand why Israel cannot
and should not trust its survival
to nations that stood idly by while
millions of innocent Jews were destroyed.
Too many nations seem willing to have
Israel take risks for an uncertain
regional peace that they themselves
are unwilling to take for a more
important world peace.”

Harvard Law Professor Alan M. Dershowitz said:
“…if Israel’s military power were ever
to be diminished to the point that
the combined armies of the Arab world
could defeat it, I believe there would
be another Holocaust.
No Arab dictator who could defeat Israel
and forebore from doing so would survive
the continuing frenzy for jihad
[Islamic holy war against non-Muslims].
And an Arab military victory over Israel
– unlike the Israeli victories over
the Arabs – would not result in a mere
occupation or even detention of Israeli Jews.
It would result in a mass slaughter,
designed to rid Arab holy land of Jewish intruders.
Most Jews know this, though they rarely
speak of it openly. But then again,
most Jews did not speak openly about
the Holocaust before it happened,
while it was happening, or for
several years after it was over.”

“It is often said, because it is true,
that if the Arabs laid down their weapons,
there would be peace; [but] if the Jews
laid down their weapons, they would be
massacred, because the Arabs
(that’s the Muslims Arabs for all you
hair-splitters out there) don’t want peace,
they want the Jews DEAD.”

Professor Abraham H. Miller said:
“AIPAC and other pro-Israel organizations exist,
in part, to ensure that Israel maintains a competitive
military and technological edge so that the
Arabs don’t overrun it and commit the
second Holocaust they repeatedly promise…”
