The world is once again confronted with violence in Israel and its administered territories. On the pretext of one of Israel’s ministers visiting the Temple Mount, the Palestinians erupted in bloody rioting, which has not yet ended and in which hundreds so far have died. Most distressing, Israeli Arabs, citizens of the country, have joined [...]

It is thirty-nine years since Israel’s victory in the Six-Day War in 1967, that the city of Jerusalem, which had been divided for nineteen years, has been reunited under Israeli rule. But there is still much talk, and many people insist, that solution of the “Middle East Problem” will not be possible until Israeli Jews [...]

Israel and Egypt are the two largest recipients of U.S. aid. For its“participation” in the Gulf War, Egypt was forgiven its indebtedness of $9 billion. Israel pays its bills. It receives $2.8 billion every year. Of that amount, $2.0 billion is for military aid and $0.8 billion for economic aid. It’s fair to ask whether [...]

The skilled public relations apparatus of the PLO has lulled many into the belief that this organization could possibly be a force for peace in the Middle East. Some believe that there is a certain amount of “grandstanding” on the part of the PLO, mostly for internal consumption, but that essentially the PLO is searching [...]
