De Joden woonden in de Oude Stad toen de Seljoeken haar veroverden, ze waren er in de tijd van de Kruistochten en toen de Turken ze veroverden. Allenby trof de Joden aan toen hij Jeruzalem veroverde op de Turken. Maar vandaag is geen enkele Jood overgebleven… Continue reading

Following is the reply of Mr. Begin to Senator Percy… Continue reading
Could it really be that the United States spent decades cultivating Islamists? And that it manipulated and double-crossed them, cynically using and misusing them as Cold War allies? And that all of this spawned a force that turned against its sponsor with a vengeance… Continue reading

Resolution 242 is the cornerstone for what it calls “a just and lasting peace.” It calls for a negotiated solution based on “secure and recognized boundaries” – recognizing the flaws in Israel’s previous temporary borders – the 1948 Armistice lines or the “Green Line” – by not calling upon Israel to withdraw from ‘all occupied territories,’ but rather “from territories occupied.”… Continue reading
