They will not have the impact of the 650,000 Cubans who fled from Castro and settled largely-and for the most part successfully-in Miami.

From this lofty conviction comes the view that the U.S., if only for reasons of prestige, could not stand the trauma of seeing Israel defeated in another war with the Arabs. The U.S. indeed would not allow such a defeat under foreseeable circumstances. But that is a fall-back for Israel, not a launch pad for resisting hard decisions necessary for peace...
