How to find Truth

By Tuvia Brodie

If you are like many English-speaking readers, you may be wondering about what the UN will be doing this week. According to published reports, they will be considering the creation of a new Arab state. The Arabs say this is a good thing; Israel says it is not. Would you like to become an expert on this question? It’s easy. It’s simple. Follow these steps: don’t read English newspapers; learn Arabic; and, most important, never avoid the obvious. In fact, if you follow these steps, you could become so astute that you might replace the professionals—and if you play your cards right, you may not even have to learn Arabic. But more about that, later.

Here are three case studies—and a language lesson—that will teach you everything you need to know:

Case study one: You are a proud Arab. You tell the world that you want to be free. You say that you want your own ‘place’. You want to exercise your right to self-determination.

Question: If that is what you want, why do you dig up and remove 12,000 – 15,000 tons of earth from my Holiest site (the Temple Mount) and then declare that there is no archaeological record of a Jewish presence on that site?

What does my Holy site have to do with your desire forfreedom and self-determination?

Is it possible that your goal is not self-determination, but something else?

Case study two: A proud Arab, you say you want to be a full-fledged citizen in a ‘proper’ state. You say that the Jews do not treat you like legitimate citizens.

Question: If you are so pained about being a less-than-equal citizen, why do you want to strip citizenship away from all Jews living in your new state?

How does destroying citizenship for Jews give you equal rights?

Could it be that ‘equal rights’ is not exactly what you’re talking about?

Case study three: You are deeply religious. You eagerly desire to worship as you please. You want religious freedom.

Question: Why does your desire for religious freedom mean that I cannot have my religious freedom?

How does the existence of my religion deny your religious freedom?

Is it religious freedom you want—or something else altogether?

Each of these case studies come from English-language print material published by, for and about Arabs. Each of the Questions above suggest that the Arab is, apparently, confused: on the one hand, he demands justice, religious freedom and self-determination; on the other hand, he demands the destruction of Judaism and the Jewish state. Where’s the connection? The two are mutually exclusive. Moreover, where is it written that Arab gains must be built upon a Jewish ‘loss’? Put another way, how does the desire for justice and freedom justify the Arab war on Jewish Holy sites, Judaism and Judaism? Why is freedom, justice and Holiness for the Arab connected to attacking Jews? After all, if what the Arab really wants is self-determination, why all this hatred? Seems confusing, doesn’t it?

By contrast, once you learn Arabic, you will no longer be confused. Why? Because Arab-language media and print material is very clear. As you will see on Arab TV, the message is simple: they announce almost daily that the Arab Deity wants to see the Jews massacred; the Arab Deity sees glorification in the murder of Jews; the Arab Deity wants the land cleansed of the filth that is the Jew. It’s not much more complicated than that. It’s even simple enough for a diplomat to understand.

Once you know Arabic, you will learn what the Arab street already knows: despite what their friends and apologists tell you, their goal is not a state beside Israel. The Arab goal is not freedom or self-determination or justice or peace. The goal is an Arab state in place of Israel, so as to rid the Middle East of every Jew.

There is no confusion here. The message is simple. It is clear. It is also obvious: there will be no peace if the Jew remains.

So what’s Israel’s problem? It’s simple: Israel understands Arabic. Israel knows what the Arab tells his people. Israel knows that the Arab public believes what it hears—and Israel believes it, too. The question is, why doesn’t anybody else believe it? More to the point, why does everybody else so studiously ignore what the Arab says?

The Arab is clear, honest and obvious. When the topic is ‘Jews’, the Arab says what he will do—and when he gets the chance, he does it. He kills Jews. If you want to be an expert on the Middle East, never forget this Arab truth. In fact, if you want to put the so-called real experts to shame, you don’t even have to learn Arabic. All you have to do is ask one very simple question: what does Arab TV say? Your listeners may not understand the question. But always ask it--repeatedly.

Everyone will think you’re a genius because even the ‘experts’ never ask that question.
