Jointly sponsored by Harvard's Center for Jewish Studies, the Jacob and Libby Goodman Institute for the Study of Zionism at Brandeis University and the Zalman Shazar Center for Jewish History in Jerusalem, the Boston segment of the conference ends today. The centennial conference will reconvene in Jerusalem, from...
...even concerns them to focus the blame and censure on Israel. The Western press and our European allies are all too ready to publicize and sympathize with their whines and laments while ignoring their flagrant violations of the peace accords, such as the continued operation of illegal offices in Jerusalem--a much more serious infringement on the delicate status of the holy city, incidentally, than any entirely licit move made by Mayor Olmert.

Asked whether he thought Netanyahu was insensitive, a senior...
...glowing achievements of the peace process. Now that was all in peril. "They were shooting at us like we never made peace, like they never sat with us, like we never laughed together," lamented a young officer in the Gaza Strip. One of the wounded soldiers Netanyahu visited in Jerusalem's Hadassah Hospital told the Prime Minister he recognized the man who shot him from a joint patrol they had conducted in the past. Said an Israeli commander serving in the West Bank: "What we built together is collapsing. It's going to be very hard to rebuild the trust...
