...Hurray to those brave Arab Commandos [Dec. 13] for their daring attacks on unarmed civilians, women and children. The fedayeen can sit by their campfire basking in the glory of blowing up school buses. Meanwhile, the U.N. adds fuel to the fire by censuring Israel for trying to preserve its very existence. What country in the world will come to the defense of Israel? Or is their fantastic progress in democracy and self-achievement too much for a mediocre world to tolerate...
...article implies that Arab governments cannot oppose the will of their peoples. This smacks of sophistry since the will in question is largely a product of the 100% government-controlled news media. Were these media to preach peace rather than hate, it is highly probable that public opinion would change...
ALONE among the Arab states sharing borders with Israel, tiny cosmopolitan Lebanon had escaped direct involvement in the Middle East's frequent outbursts of hostility. Like Arabs everywhere else, the Lebanese of course paid lip service and tithes to the Arab cause against Israel, but they were far more interested in commerce than in aggressive politics. The Beirut government dutifully declared war against Israel during last year's Six-Day War-and sent two fighters on a sortie southward toward Tel Aviv. When one was shot down, Lebanon happily withdrew from the campaign, its duty done...

Rabban was also given the title of prince, along with 72 proprietary rights including the privilege of levying taxes and such royal honors as "a cloth spread in front to walk on, a parasol, a drum, a trumpet and a garland." In 1524, jealous Arab merchants, accusing the Jews of trying to take over the pepper trade, stirred up a holy war against the community by Indian natives. Cranganore was sacked, its homes and synagogue burned. Most of the survivors fled to Cochin and sought the protection of its maharajah. Although a Hindu, he treated...
Precisely how all of this will be attempted is still unclear. During the campaign, for instance, Nixon declared that the U.S. must help Israel maintain clear military superiority over the Arabs. Last week, however, William Scranton, Nixon's roving fact finder, said while in the Middle East that the U.S. should adopt a more "evenhanded" approach. He repeated the phrase after reporting to Nixon in New York. Scranton's implication was clear: the U.S. had been unfair to the Arab states. Nixon himself has not indicated any modification in U.S. policy, and Israel's Moshe Dayan said...
