...Avner Rothenberg, director of social education in Jerusalem, traces the problem to the structure of Israeli education, which is styled on the European model of a highly centralized system, with all control in the Ministry of Education. Elias Saba, senior lecturer at the Arab Teachers' College in Haifa, found the American contrast agreeable...
...Rothenberg is equally optimistic about Jewish society in Israel. "Within two or three generations you will see intermarriage between European and Oriental Jews. Remember that we are much younger than you are --it is necessary to understand that these processes are long, and we are a young country..." But he sees no end to the separation of Arabs and Jews.

The Egyptians may well have borrowed the metallurgical techniques from the Midianites, a little-known people who dwelled in the area and are identified in Genesis as the first metalworkers. With the help of the Midianites, the pharaohs apparently ran the mine for some 150 years, until about 1250 B.C. Subsequently, the Egyptians pulled out of Canaan and the neighboring Sinai -perhaps, says Rothenberg, under...
