The Cost of Israel to the American People
GETTING THE FACTS STRAIGHT
We've been taught many myths regarding the actions of the state of Israel. These are just a few:
  Myth   Israel has fought only defensive wars since its founding
  Fact   Israel started three out of the four major wars with its Arab neighbors.
  Myth   Palestine was unpopulated before Israel took control of the land
  Fact   Palestine was intensely populated for millennia before Israel was founded
  Myth   Israel helps us with weapons development
  Fact   Israel sells secret U.S. military technology to rogue nations
  Myth   Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East
  Fact   Israel is not a true democracy; its Muslim and Christian citizens do not have equal rights or protections

The perpetuation of these myths allows the horrific abuses of the Israeli state to go unchallenged by our mainstream media, leading to the untold suffering of the Palestinian people and the immeasurable rage of the Arab world.
