...presumptuousness of the SAS all we have to do is look at the title of their "fact sheet." It is called "What You Need To Know About The Palestinian Uprising." Are seven diputable half-truths all one needs to know in order to understand the complexities of an issue that has riddled experts for forty years? The Arab students omit, not only their names from this poster, but also the story behind the statements. Perhaps they are scared to openly admit their support for an organization that takes greatest pride in the murder of disabled American Leon Klinghoffer...

Anticipating trouble, Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin took the unprecedented step of sealing off the West Bank and Gaza for three days. He warned of harsher...
...Middle East, his third such trip in five weeks to try to sell his peace plan. Shamir, who remains adamantly opposed to Shultz's proposals, had fresh reason to be concerned last week. Five days before the Secretary of State left Washington, he met for 90 minutes with two Palestinian-Americans. Both are members of the Palestine National Council, a parliament-in-exile with some 400 members that serves as an umbrella organization for the P.L.O. as well as for nonmilitary Palestinian institutions...
