The
Differing Fates of Jewish and Arab Refugees
After the establishment of Israel, many
Palestinian Arabs fled mainly on the advice of Arab governments.
But while Israel absorbed its refugees after many years
of hardship in transit camps, the Arabs deliberately left
theirs unsettled. more
Ethnic
Cleansing
The Arab delegates to the Durban UN conference
who accuse Israel of ethnic cleansing should have been asked
why no Jews remain in Arabia – one-time home to prominent
and numerous Jewish tribes? more
The
Arabs have forfeited their right to lead the Middle East
PAX ISRAELITA - After eighty years of failed
Arab attempts to destroy her, Israel is now entitled to
impose her own solution for the problems of the whole region.

Pax
Israelita
In recent weeks, Middle East politics have
been shifting like the quicksand of the desert. Saddam now
fancies himself as an Arab and Moslem messiah - a latter-day
Nebuchadnezzar - and dreams of standing at the gates of
Jerusalem to lead the Jewish people (God forbid) into another
captivity in his rebuilt Babylon, as did the other Nebu.
2,558 years ago. more
Mid-east
Confederation Needed
The only effective way to avoid breaking up Iraq into three
parts once Saddam Hussein has been neutralised or defeated
is to create a Middle East confederation which would include
that country with Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Kuwait and Israel.

The
Root of Evil in the Middle East
The cause of the recent spate of terrorism
was neither Islam nor Israel. The cause is the surplus oil
wealth that finds its way, willy-nilly, into the hands of
adventurers (Nasser, Saddam, Arafat, Farrakhan or Bin-Laden)
bent on conquest. more
Future
of Iraq
Peace with the Palestinians must be global
– not only Syria and Lebanon should be included, as
Secretary Colin Powell indicated, but also Iraq. more
A
Regional Solution to the Middle East
The
Middle East requires a regional solution. Prime Minister
Sharon cannot proceed from where Ehud Barak left off, as
Robin Cook vainly wishes, according to his statement on
Radio 4. more
A
Solution for the Middle East?
A friend of mine has reminded me of a letter
I had sent to the American Ambassador in London in March
1991. On the eve of the Arab summit in Beirut, conditions
are still so much the same that I offer my formula as a
practical solution to the endemic Middle East problems,
solving the Palestinian and the Iraqi problem together in
one go. more
From
our Archives - The Rights of Jewish Refugees
June
1975 – I have been reading with great interest reports
of the convention which you recently held to launch the
campaign for the rights and claims of Jewish refugees from
Arab countries. I have always stressed that Jewish
rights in the Middle East are not confined to Israel or
to Palestine and that we have vested rights and interests
in most of the so-called “Arab” countries. more
The
Crisis in Kashmir
Kashmir, or the state of Jammu and Kashmir
to give it its full title, has been a flashpoint between
India and Pakistan since Partition in 1947, when British
India was divided into two states, one of which – Pakistan
– was created to provide a home for India’s Muslim
population. more
Some
Arabs have to go
Our future relations with Arabs is one of
disengagement rather than integration. Some Arabs have to
go, so that we can establish good relations with them at
arm’s length. more
Should
marriage be abolished?!
The Bible tells us 'Therefore shall a man
leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his
wife: and they shall be one flesh'. This is the ideal arrangement
that is followed even by some birds and animals. A lifelong
relationship with their spouses. But in the real world things
have been different. more
