...continued killing of Israelis inside the pre-1967 borders is especially damaging. No less a figure than President Ezer Weizman called for a halt in the implementation of the peace accords. It was a stunning pronouncement coming from so dovish a leader. Though several members of Rabin's Cabinet quietly backed the suggestion, the Prime Minister ignored it and insisted that the process of establishing Palestinian self-rule would go on. But his aides are skittish about the prospects for progress. Said Uri Savir, director-general of the Foreign Ministry: ``We need a profound change of direction to make...
...schools. Middle East: Another Bombing A Palestinian suicide bombing in the heart of Israel took the lives of 21 Israelis and wounded 64 others, sending waves of shock and fury through the country and threatening to derail the fragile peace process once and for all.

Every instance in which Kennedy whispers to a dovish Senator or makes a public remark about his desire to be extricated from Vietnam is taken as evidence of his secret intentions; the far more frequent examples of his invoking the domino theory and denouncing the idea of withdrawal are construed as public posturing, designed to deceive conservatives in order to get re-elected. In fact, it would be more logical...
