Today the blacklist is full of loopholes. Arab countries do business with airlines that also service Israel. Rather than lose tourist trade, Arabs now allow cruise ships to dock at their ports after stopping at Haifa. Cairo shops still sell Sinatra records, though Frankie's "pro-Israel" tendencies have kept him on the blacklist for years. Last week the boycott received the gravest blow yet. It involved a U.S. freighter that had been blacklisted for previous stops in Israel. When the ship arrived in Beirut harbor with 2,400 tons of wheat for the Palestinian Arab refugees, powerful voices...

Nor will India forgive him for calling Goa, an Indian-claimed Portuguese colony on the India mainland, "a Portuguese province." Israel remembers that U.S. policy was much more pro-Israel during the Truman Administration. Egypt's Nasser hates Dulles for calling Nasser's attempt to play off Russia against the West. And Arabs in general will not forgive him for defending Israel's right to exist...
Britain has at long last chosen sides in the Middle East, while the U.S. continues to favor an impartial stand, however precarious. The side Britain has chosen is not pro-Israel, but anti-Nasser. Egypt's 38-year-old military ruler, once hopefully regarded by the British-even though he drove them from the Suez-is now in British eyes the Middle East's Villain...
