2010 Top Ten Anti-Israel Lies

The Simon Wiesenthal Center recently released the 2010 TOP TEN Anti-Israel Lies and I felt this was worth passing along.    The Simon Wiesenthal Center, according to its mission statement is "an international Jewish human rights organization dedicated to repairing the world one step at a time".  It is located in Los Angeles, California and was established in 1977 and named for Simon Wiesenthal, the famous Nazi hunter. 

Rather than re-writing the whole document, I am only listing the "lies" as they published in their document.  Click on this link to read them all:
2010 TOP TEN Anti-Israel Lies Brochure.

• Lie #1  - Israel was created by European guilt over the Nazi Holocaust.  Why should Palstinians pay the price?
• Lie #2 - Had Israel withdrawn to its June 1967 borders, peace would have come long ago.
• Lie #3 - Israel is the main stumbling block to achieving a Two-State solution.
• Lie #4 - Nuclear Israel not Iran is the greatest threat to to peace and stability.
• Lie #5 - Israel is an Apartheid State deserving of International Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaigns.
• Lie #6 - Plan to build 1,600 more homes in East Jerusalem prove Israel is 'Judizing' the Holy City.
• Lie #7 - Israeli policies endanger U.S. troops in Afghanistan and Iraq.
• Lie #8 - Israeli policies are the cause of worldwide anti-Semitism.
• Lie #9 - Israel, not Hamas, is responsible for the "humanitarian catastrophe" in Gaza.  Goldstone was right when he charged that Israel was guilty of war crimes against civilians.
• Lie #10 - The only hope for peace is a single, bi-national state, eliminating the Jewish State of Israel.

At the closing of their brochure was the following sentence:  It is up to us to help disseminate the facts about Israel -- to our Nation's leaders, to world governments, to our media outlets, to all who will listen.  Please stand up today and do your part.

One thing I would add to the following "check list" of people to call and contacts to make is for us to pray!  God has a heart for Israel and has required us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.  After we have covered them with prayer, then I agree, we need to contact the media outlets and those in govering authorities to speak out against any anti-Israel moods that manifest in this country.  They then listed these numbers:
