Israeli-Arabs versus Levant Arabs in Syria.

 Recently, I was listening to footage of a pro-Assad psycho in Syria claiming Israel controls the Rebels. One thing which struck me was he said (in a much more vulgar way than this) that Arabs from Israel are treated better in Syria than Israel. I wanted to take a second to review:

Recently, Israel passed a gargantuan $10.3 billion bill (remember, Israel is the size of New Jersey) to add to Israel’s current funding for the Arab-Israeli sector. The goal of this bill is to modernize the infrastructure of Arab-Israeli society. A major part of this is to focus on Israeli-Arab Gangs which have been committed killings inside Arab villages. Arab Israeli’s are currently in a coalition running the government, which has something to do with it. 

Isn’t it interesting the Jewish state is partially run by Arab Muslims, but the “Arab Republic” is run by one dictator and his family at the top? 

Israel also has a law that everyone, Jewish or not, who was born in British Mandate Palestine can become a citizen of Israel. In line with Israel’s policies of not breaking up families in immigration law, this includes children. That is to say Israel has a Arab right of return in its law. While this is of course 100% ignored in Western Media, Syria has killed people for talking with Israeli’s. So they have made it more difficult for Palestinians to go to Israel, while claiming that is their goal. And they simultaneously claim Israel does not have this law. This all ignores Syria of course would never let Israeli-Arabs immigrate to Syria unless they disavow their connection to Israel and revoke their citizenship, and even then likely wouldn't with Syrian immigration policy. 

Compare this to Syria’s policy of keeping Arabs from the region forced in refugee camps to use as bargaining chips, and the larger reality Syria does not confer any human rights to almost any of its citizens, and I know which I'd rather live in.

The Black Panthers were a right-wing terror group and military arm of Fatah. They were founded in 1988, but waned in activity since the 90's thanks to weakening by the Israeli government. It is unknown their relationship with Fatah today, but are still connected.

The Political Compass of Jewish American NewsSources

Image
  The Purpose of this Chart (researched and crafted by me for you, fair reader) is to show you concrete information on the Jewish American Communities main sources of information and how they report according to ideas of being more pro-government, religious or cultural (or plain secular), or generally economically and governmentally left or right. Every paper shown above is amazing in its own way. Truly. Even if they (like all newspapers) have bias. In general , they also do better on the axis not shown above; showing the majority of good news in the world versus the minority bad which merits discussion to correct. I'll note this is more in comparison to most American news sources than correctly showing the discrepancy. Notes for Nerds (of which their are a lot):  To be considered a Jewish American Newsite for the Purpose of this Compass, you must pass four Criteria:    1. Have a primarily American Jewish Readership or cover Judaism in America, and be explicitly Jewish (culturally

The Orwellian Nature of the Anti-Israel World's History of "Palestinian."

"Palestinians", as it is defined today, is a new term. You can think whatever you want about Israel today, or the Levant or if Pluto is a planet, but that is objectively true. Objectively, Palestinian referred originally to anyone living in the territory of modern Israel and the West Bank, including some Northern Syria. It was objectively a new term as used today, to refer to Arabs in the land of Israel. So, why is it wikipedia, the Palestinian Authority, the "Squad" as they call themselves, and tens of millions of people around the world deny the basic history (shown with proof below)? Is it not the most egregious example of Orwellian history changing a word, once referencing anyone in the area, to now reference a people which were not a people until the 1940's (and at best seem to only be binded together as the ones which aren't Israel and not under their neighbors), most of which had family move into the area of modern Israel during the 1800's yet are
