UPDATE:-

More than a year after starting this website we can reflect on how it has evolved. First it was to seek truth and dispel the myths that had become planted as facts concerning Israel.

Then we became more focused on Antisemitism and how it manifested itself on websites and Messageboards. We found lots of material on BBC 5Live & MPAC UK website that we believed was either Antisemitic or skated very close to it.  The evidence of this was the BBC's capitulation over the "Iron Naz" affair and MPAC UK's removal of Antisemitic material due to its open-comments policy which they have since changed and removed the offending articles. We assert that some still remain and some get posted on their forum.

Islamist web-sites used the code of "Anti-Zionism" and often blurred into Anti-Semitism (ie focusing on prominent Jewish businessmen or politicians). But they insist they DON'T mean Jews. We remember the labelling of Lorna Fitsimmons, propsective MP, who was called a "Jew" by MPAC UK leaflets when, in fact, she wasn't. The motivation is clear.

Similarly, we began to confront "Islamism" and "Islamists" who's agenda was the spread of political influence of Islam.

But, our argument is never with Muslims as a community or Islam as a religion but with those who seek the more radical edge of Islamic interpretation to promote anti-Western ideas and as a cover for Antisemitism. There are obviously passages in the Koran and Hadith's which radical Islamists have used to whip up hate. Take for example the denigration of Jews by references to the Koran and alleged 'emnity of the Jews' associated with Jewish communities in and around Mecca at the time of Mohammed or the vile "Jews as Apes & Pigs" from the Koran, which we are often told is out of context.

We recognise that ancient texts and Bibles may contain ideas that are abhorrent in the 21st century and most religions consign them to history rather than as a living creed. But it is the radicals and fundamentalists who ressurect these ideas and use them politically.

There has never been and never will be any expression made here to demonise Muslims collectively or engage in racist incitement against Muslims belonging to any race - since there is no single 'Race" of "Muslim". It is a collective of races of people who all follow Islam.

We also defend Western Democracies by answering such suggestions that the UK, for example, is becoming like a "Nazi State", or that Foreign Policy must be changed to satisfy tiny minorities, and the implication that there is a threat if we don't.

In order to maintain our policy we don't invite comments that might take us away from respecting our reason to be here.

Reflections:

I wrote the words below before I posted a single item. I reflect three weeks later on what it has become. I note that my articles are about Bias and Truth. They are about looking at creeping Antisemitism fuelled by attacks on Israel and by Muslims wanting to deflect what they call Islamaphobia by trying to align their plight with that of the Jews in The Holocaust.

Its about the rising extremism and lowered tolerance for radical Islam in the UK.

I fear for a clash of culture and religion in the UK but since the UK Government seemed to provide oxygen and growth material to nurture what they now seek to control, so I notice a media backlash against Muslims.

That is unfair and against our Judaeo-Christian principles and ethics. But how do we protect ourselves from some of our own people who have already performed terrorist outrages against us? In what other way can we protect ourselves unless we expose extremism and define our limits. These are limits which we all adhere to.

We face the dilemma of helping to integrate a culture and religion into our society without breaking it and without providing excuses for suffering terrorism.

And now what I wrote three weeks ago!

The Author remains anonymous for reasons of security.

I an an expert in the field of Communication and Persuasion and in the 'black arts' of NLP and Ericksonian Hypnosis. One thing you learn in my field of work is the word "Congruence". Its the relationship between what you communicate and what other non-verbal signs and behaviours indicate.

Basically it means "Am I getting the Truth"?

I never took much interest in Israel until I was shocked by the images of the shooting of Mohammed Al Dura at Netzarim Junction. It was blamed on Israel and the Israeli commander of the day apologised. I started to go to the messagebords of the time and ended-up on a board dedicated to discussing the Palestinians from a supportive position. Here I read that Israel soldiers stole the body parts of Palestinians for transplants. It was reported in the Palestinians media - so it HAD to be true!

Of course, it wasn't! (And neither did the IDF kill Mohammed Al Dura)

So, I began to explore more denigrations about Israel and discovered they were factually disputed or found to be false. Who can forget "500 massacred at Jenin", "58 killed at Qana" - neither true?

This conflict is full of lies and I'm afraid they come predominantly from one direction.

Are the Israelis "Barmitzvah Boys", naive and passive, feeling their way into the World of adults? No! Can Israel do stupid and reprehensible things? Yes!

 But they don't do 1% of what is claimed against it.

So, in seeking the truth, by enquiring like an idiot I came to the conclusion that the demonising of Israel is a concerted campaign where lie and innuendo is the rule. Its an alliance between the Left, the Arabists, Islamists and various broadcast and print media.

Through the efforts of websites like Jihad Watch, Dhimmi Watch, Little Green Footballs and Melanie Phillips Diary I have become more exposed to the plots and inconsistencies. I am greatly indebted to Robert Spencer (Jihad Watch & Dhimmi Watch), Charles Johnson (LGF) and Melanie Phillips for all their energy and prolific output. They are great defenders of Truth.

And through the output of websites like MPAC UK, Muslim Council of Britain and Muslim Association of Britain have I been helped to understand where the problems regarding Truth emanate and where hatred festers. At the time of writing (October 2006) we are about to go through a trauma in Europe and the UK regarding cultural and religious integration and respect. These websites are useful conduits to understanding one side of the problem.

"It NEVER Happened" section deals with events between Israel and The Palestinians that never happened or never happened the way the propaganda suggested.

"Bias and the BBC" will discuss incidents and insights into the way that the BBC reports news, specifically about Islamic and Middle East conflict issues and probes into BBC Editorial practice exercised through Message Board moderation.

"MPAC UK, MCB & MAB" deals with the output of these organisations. Read their press statements and website output and you would shudder! You would realise why Ruth Kelly made her speech criticising the main Muslim organisations for their attitudes. I am not sure if these organisations actually represent the views of Muslims in the UK. I think they are on their own Political Jihad agenda.

"Fakery in Israel/Lebanon War" deals with the wealth of faked events and photos that came out of the Hezbollah side, supported by our Western Media.
