Much has deservedly been written of the moral squalor of the three members of the Nobel Peace Prize committee who have publicly wished they could recall the 1994 prize to Shimon Peres (they remain perfectly happy with the award to Arafat). One of them said that the award to Peres threatened “to bring the prize […]

Even as Israeli security officials in both the police and army warn that the effects of Operation Defensive Shield are wearing off, a suicide bombing was thwarted today five kilometers west of Afula by a citizen’s alertness. He noticed a suspicious-looking Arab at a bus stop and notified the police. When the police signaled the […]

There is no military solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. So says — to take an almost random sample — The Post (March 26), Sandy Berger (March 29), George Mitchell (April 1), Colin Powell and Kofi Annan (April 10), Colin Powell again (April 21). This conventional wisdom is universally accepted, but odd. Historically, most conflicts are […]

Nationhood and Jerusalem Israel became a nation in 1312 B.C.E., two thousand years before the rise of Islam.

WASHINGTON — Most of the leaders of the Democratic Party and its liberal media voices distanced themselves from Israel in the midst of its defense against Arafat’s war. Their echo-chambered furor caused George W. Bush to waver temporarily, but an outcry of moral dismay from Republicans stiffened his administration’s spine. Too partisan a reading? Consider: […]

Today, in a televised speech to the Palestinian Legislative Council, in Ramallah, a vintage Yasser Arafat, true to form, has again invoked the Treaty of al-Hudaybiyah, signed by the Moslem prophet Muhammad. That is, a treaty that lasts as long as political expediency dictates. During an interview on Egyptian television on April 18, 1998, Arafat, […]

Mortar attacks on Jewish Gaza resumed in force today, as several shells fired by Palestinian terrorists landed near buildings in Gush Katif this morning and this afternoon. They caused light damage, but no one was hurt. Last night, two shells fell near Jewish homes in one of the larger communities in Katif, but again, miraculously, […]

Dr. Mohammad T. Al Rasheed, a columnist for the Saudi government English daily The Saudi Gazette, responded to President Bush’s demand that Arab leaders cease calling suicide bombers “martyrs.” In an article titled “God Bless Our Martyrs,” Dr. Al-Rasheed criticized the U.S. The following are excerpts from the column: “The ‘Dudn’t’ President Has Overstepped His […]
