Too bad all the people who know how to run the country are busy driving taxis and cutting hair.   —   George Burns

Before there were 'Palestinians,' there was Arafat: The making of a 'statesman'

By Martin Peretz

Yasir Arafat, of course, has never been finicky about terrorism, and his long history on that score mocks America's calls for him to renounce the only craft he has ever truly known. Arafat's debut on the world stage coincides with the beginning of the Palestinian revolution, which, it is urgent to recall, commenced at least three years before the Six Day War.

This means that Arafat started the Palestine Liberation Organization before one Israeli ever stepped foot into the West Bank or Gaza Strip--or, for that matter, prayed at the Western Wall in Jerusalem or walked in the city's ancient Jewish Quarter. There were no "occupied territories" back then, and there weren't really any disputed territories either--except in the heads of the Palestinians.

Is it 1938 again for the Jews?
By Dennis Prager

This is the scariest time for Jews since the Holocaust.

The Jews are being abandoned. Again.

From the Jews' perspective, the world can be divided into three groups -- those that hate the Jews and want them dead, those that ignore this hatred and aid the haters, and Americans.

Lebanon: The Fuse
for Armageddon

By Charles Krauthammer

Just end the occupation of the West Bank, say the Arabs, and we will guarantee Israel peace. Do you want to see Israel's future if it caves in to that demand? Look at Lebanon, where Israel gave up a defensive occupation and is now looking squarely in the face of Armageddon.
