...would abandon its claims to territorial sovereignty over East Jerusalem, including the Old City, and its new suburban settlements. The Old City, with its many holy shrines, would be turned into a self-administered, internationalized community-in effect, a Vatican of the Middle East. Mount Scopus, the site of Hebrew University, would remain Israeli, connected to the Jewish state by a strip of land. The rest of East Jerusalem would be linked to the entity and could even serve as its administrative capital, just as West Jerusalem serves as Israel's capital. In any formula, unhindered access...
Responding in Hebrew, Begin reminded his visitor of the long history of suffering and exile of the Jewish people, who "never for a day" had forgotten that Eretz Israel was their homeland. The Premier, who referred only sporadically to his written speech, provided the only surprise of the day.

Shahak does not shrink from using his professor ship at the "Zionist/racist" Hebrew University to defame the State of Israel. The Arab propaganda machine has been distributing this professor's material throughout this country, particularly on college campuses. The title of The Crimson article, "An Israeli Professor Fights for Human Rights" bears witness to your gullibility.
