At the start of the Israeli War of Independence in 1947-48, roughly 800,000 Jews were thrown out of their Middle Eastern countries and assimilated into Israel. 700,000 people living in the old Palestine left for neighboring Arab countries to get out of the way of a war that everyone thought the Jews would lose.
The Arabs that stayed became Israeli citizens with the same rights as their Jewish counterparts and are now the freest and best-educated Arab population in any country in the Middle East.
If they had lost, the Jews would have been decimated or turned into dhimmis. Nevertheless, vastly outnumbered they won the war. The same decimation would have happened if they lost in 1967 or 1973.
Four generations later, descendants of those that left Palestine are still refugees with a special UN agency to look after them. Despite the supposed Israeli massacres, their numbers have gone all the way down to 2.1 million.
The rewriting of History is an old tactic that the left uses to undermine a country. They take over the media, and school curriculums and simply repeat a lie in the minds of the population until their narrative becomes the truth.
What Sujatha Fernandes is teaching young students at Sydney University is a provable lie. How can Australia ever succeed when academics at our top universities simply make things up and are allowed to get away with it.It seems that if something fits the far left's narrative, there can be no peer review because the sword of “cancellation” hangs over the heads of dissenters. This is how the myth of global warming is allowed to destroy our economy and the myth that men can have babies is allowed to destroy our morals and the lives of many of our children.People who convince our children of the lie that democratic Israelis are butchers and Hamas are simply benign folk need to be rooted out and fired.
The Trump case creates a deep disillusionment with the U.S. legal system and has destroyed any perception of truth or integrity in it.
The handling of this situation is a fundamental betrayal of the principles of impartial justice, to the point where one can no longer feel safe or confident in engaging with American institutions while the current administration is in power.
Under these circumstances, mistrust in the FBI creates a reluctance to set foot in the country. It underscores the depth of concern about the erosion of the rule of law and the politicization of the justice system. It's a stark reminder of how profoundly damaging the perception of bias and manipulation in legal proceedings can be to the social fabric and to individual faith in the government.
The loss of trust in the institutions meant to uphold justice and protect citizens' rights is a grave matter beyond any one case or political moment. It strikes at the heart of the social contract and the stability of a ...
In today's world, one of the most frightening realities is the ease with which individuals in positions of authority or those who command respect through their demeanor can deceive us without fear of repercussions. These influential figures, be they heads of universities, politicians, or journalists, seem to have no qualms about fabricating narratives that support their agenda, knowing full well that they will face no consequences for their dishonesty.
The problem is compounded by the fact that those who should be holding these individuals accountable often turn a blind eye to their deception. University administrators, for example, may choose to ignore academics who blatantly lie as long as their falsehoods serve to bolster the institution's reputation or further its goals. Similarly, politicians and journalists, despite having access to the truth through briefings and research, may opt to perpetuate lies that align with their political or ideological leanings.
The result is a culture of ...
