OneVoice speaks mistakenly on achieving peace

Arthur Cohn November 16, 2007

Again and again, private organizations appear on the scene, promoting agendas designed to advance the peace process in the Middle East. In many cases, their intentions may be good; unfortunately, however, they generally lack a minimal understanding of the situation, and their programs and proposals are based on mistaken assumptions. As a result, their contribution to an easing of the prevailing tension between Israel and the Palestinian Arabs is of little or no value. An examination of one of these peace efforts, the OneVoice movement.

A Matter of Mindset

Stuart Schoffman February 24, 2005

For an Israeli who lives in Jerusalem, it\’s strange being the only Jew in the room. Yet that\’s how it was on Jan. 10 as I gave a talk on the current political situation to an international conference of Catholic bishops at the elegant Knights Palace Hotel in the Old City.

Dan Baron May 13, 2004

It was a loss that brought back the darkest days of Israel\’s war on Palestinian terrorism and the Israeli occupation of southern Lebanon — and the next day it got even worse.

Six elite soldiers of the Givati Brigade, on their way home from a mission to destroy arms factories in Gaza City, died in a huge fireball Tuesday when their ordnance-laden armored personnel carrier went over a land mine.

On Wednesday, at least five more Israeli soldiers were killed in an attempt to retrieve the remains of the previous days\’ dead when their armored personnel carrier was hit by an anti-tank missile.

Morton A. Klein May 16, 2002

Arab spokesmen regularly complain about what they call \”the Israeli occupation\” of the Judea-Samaria-Gaza territories. But the truth is that there is no such \”Israeli occupation.\” To begin with, nearly all Palestinian Arabs currently live under Yasser Arafat\’s rule, not Israel\’s. Following the signing of the Oslo accords, the Israelis withdrew from nearly half of the territories, including the cities where 98.5 percent of Palestinian Arabs reside. The notion that the Palestinian Arabs are living under Israeli occupation is false. The areas from which Israel has not withdrawn are virtually uninhabited, except for the two percent where Israelis reside.
