...campaign is about much more than policies and personalities. It reflects the collision between the two main camps of Zionism that narrowly avoided civil war at the time of independence: the socialist party of David Ben-Gurion, the first Prime Minister of Israel, and the far more militant Herut Party, founded by Begin. The last election was so bitter that this time both sides signed a sort of clean-campaign pact. The agreement banned tomato-throwing, punching, spitting and any "incitement to violence...

...given the long list of complaints against the agency. Many Western nations have strenuously objected to its politicization under M'Bow. In 1975 Soviet bloc and Third World nations provoked a walkout by the U.S., Israel and ten other Western nations when they voted to equate Zionism with racism.

...Diaspora is the "museum civilization." If any spiritual existence remains at all, he says, it has degenerated into the interpretation of the meaning of the interpretations, "until finally all that is left is to polish the artifacts in their cases." Not so for Israelis who have the legacy of Zionism. Now that too is becoming a "museum piece."
