Arab drivers won trust from their own community several years ago after they saved the life of an elderly Arab chieftain whose family members were Old City militants. In East Jerusalem, Arabs no longer hurl stones at MDA ambulances, once seen as symbols of the Israeli oppressor. Yet still, the divisions of the city leave their scars. The ambulances are allowed to enter Eastern neighborhoods only with a police escort. Waiting for police cars often wastes precious seconds during an emergency call, so Izhiman and his colleague Morad Alian will often collect the patient in their own cars and drive...
...Stern has dropped the ball on handling the officiating scandal? -Eylon Garfunkel, Tel AvivI think he handled it quite well. There are only so many ways to deal with crisis management, I think we have gotten to the point where we have put it behind us and fans will trust the NBA. I don't think it will happen again. I always ask myself, 'Are we doing business in the best way possible to make our fans and customers happy?' I don't necessarily think that the NBA has always done that, and that is where we tend to butt...

Shortly after declaring independence in 1948, Israel was invaded by Syria along with five other Arab states. In the Six Day War of 1967, Israel conquered and holds to this day the strategic Golan Heights, once-Syrian territory that is a mere 35 miles from Damascus. A surprise Syrian-initiated war in 1973 on Yom Kippur, the holiest Jewish day of the year no less, added to the enmity. Though peace negotiations seemed close in the 1990s, Israeli-Palestinian accords soon gained primary importance...
...downtown Damascus, Assad should visit the land of his mortal enemy. Only by addressing the Knesset, by visiting Yad Vashem, and by shaking hands in public with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, can he demonstrate that his talk is not mere lip service. The Israeli people no longer trust Arab leaders at their word; they must prove their credibility and desire for peace through their deeds. By taking the political and personal risk of flying to Jerusalem, Assad will have taken the road less traveled. Going to “the ends of the Earth,” as Sadat...
