...simple murder. The Jewish state that rose in 1948, did so in large measure because genocide was so horrific as to mandate the most comprehensive safeguard that it might happen never again. The genocidal attack upon the Jews of Europe have given Jews and Israel a moral justification for existence so strong that those who would attack the Jews or Israel have had to somehow destroy this special moral basis of the Jewish state. Since the '40s, when the crime of genocide was conceived, those attackers have tried to impute to Israel the same villainy that gave it the right...
...danger inherent in Castro's statements is the same Wilson described. As the Cuban and his anti-Israel allies use ever more excessive hyperbole to subtlely undermine Israel's moral right to exist, they render real genocide commonplace. At first glance, statements such as Castro's and those of the U.N. anti-Zionist resolution seem trivial.

Moreover, it is absurd to expect the leaders of the PLO to call a surprise press conference and announce their decision that Israel does indeed have a right to exist...
...Next morning an animated group of Panamanians cheered as their country's white, red and blue banner was run up a new flagpole atop bush-covered Ancon Hill. The Panama Canal Zone, the 648-sq.-mi. enclave that had been under U.S. sovereignty since 1903, had ceased to exist. Its absorption by Panama was the first step in a process that will give that country control of the Big Ditch by the year...
