Point 8 is false and stupid, as Arabs pray to the approximate direction of Mecca, and they are not aware of the direction of Jerusalem, or care to know.( Many still have to digest that the moon was not a MGM scam, but it hurts as some exegete book of the Kuran stated that the moon is not reachable to humans).

point 9 is correct, but the Israelis pushed hundred of thousands out, by different means including at least one act of terror as possible main reason.

Point 11 : even more Jews left the Arab states without their property being sold, than Arabs who did sell for quite many of them..

Point 4 : Jerusalem 22 years Arab domination only : I do not know, could be subject to interpretation.

Points 16, 17,18, generally true. Am not sure of the precise numbers of synagogues destroyed, UN resolutions.

Point 14: the Palestinian Charter. "The destruction of Israel" could still be in the text, but Chairman Arafat publicly declared it void of substance on CNN and All. But somehow got lost trying to explain exactly why they couldn't erase their ink... I ignore if he said the same in Arabic.

Point 7 "David founded the city of Jerusalem." As a capital city, the king, warlord, of that time did found the city around that date, take or leave a few dozen years. Nowhere can it be said that no tribe had dwelling on the same spot, that they were killed, acculturated by the numbers or chased away.

Formal proof by historians on the existence of the following characters is lacking, besides the Bible(s) which are legend books written centuries after the events for the Jews, and 35 to 65 years for the 4 Christian ones :
Abraham, Noah, and other protagonists of that time, including Israel and Ismael.
Moses, Samson, David, Jesus and family. Judas.
Are however documented : Pilate, Mohammed.

All other points or parts are true.
Often sad, but true.

Hope it helps.
