Worse, he is worried that the one remaining major obstacle is no one other than...Bob Dole. In his determination not to be outflanked on the right wing, he has followed the guidance of his campaign advisers and portrayed himself as more conservative than he really is. The result is that he often appears craven and false, so while his support is wide, it is shallow and unenthusiastic. "The road ahead," he says, "won't be any picnic...
...Israeli far right today--especially the notion that the Jews are a friendless people, opposed by the entire world. And it must re-examine the consequences of centralizing the Holocaust in Jewish identity. Both Dr. Baruch Goldstein, the Hebron mass murderer, and Yigal Amir emerged from politically right-wing "religious Zionism"--the community in which I was raised and which, perhaps more than any other, has absorbed the Holocaust into its world view.

...fact that an Israeli right-wing extremist shot Rabin further underlines the fact that not only Arabs but also Israelis realize that the time for action has come and therefore, in extreme cases, resort to violence to cover their panic and fear of a peace they never believed could actually exist. For the first time. Arabs and Jews alike are "internalizing" the peace process by evaluating it not in terms of symbolic significance but in terms of economic, social, and political benefits. The assassination of Sadat halted the peace process for over a decade: the assassination of Rabin just might...
