Resolved: Are the Settlements Legal? Israeli West Bank Policies

editor 13 November 2012

By Eugene V. Rostow.. in The New Republic (October 21, 1991) Eugene V. Rostow was a Distinguished Fellow at the United States Institute of Peace. He was a professor of law at yale and one of the people who drafted UN resolution 242 concerning the Middle East. Copyright 1991. The New Republic Inc.

Note:  The following article by Professor Rostow was written just before a conference was supposed to take place. At the time that Rostow made his remarks, in 1991, the PLO was still in Tunis and there was no Palestinian Authority. The primary question at that time had to do with what to do between Jordan and Israel. But the points that he made were valid then and are valid now concerning the Jewish settlements. (more…)

Nakba: 1967 in Exchange for 1948?

editor 16 May 2012

By Giulio Meotti.. Tel Aviv University students just commemorated the “Nakba”, the “catastrophe”, as the Arabs call the date of the creation of the State of Israel in 1948. Meanwhile, Israel’s officials are considering the destruction of Migron and Beit El’s Ulpana.

But if we apply the ideas of “morality” and “justice” proclaimed by those who let the Nakba celebrations take place on or near the Israeli campus, the “university outpost” and the “Supreme Court outpost” should be dismantled as well. (more…)

Can Israel be defeated?

editor 15 September 2011

By Giulio Meotti.. Israel’s victory in 1967, its superiority in weaponry, the success of its economy, and its triumph in every war in which its existence was at stake has bred a dangerous complacency. Indeed, most Israelis today ridicule the very idea of Israel’s impermanence.
