Peace Prospects Between Israel and Arabs
- Share via
The Berlin Wall has fallen. The nations of Eastern Europe are clamoring for freedom. Lithuania has declared independence. Soviet citizens are voting in free elections. Nelson Mandela is free. Apartheid is doomed.
And Buckley is urging that Israel annex the West Bank and Gaza Strip, a la South Africa, Hitler and Stalin. Perhaps Buckley would like to join the nearly 2 million Palestinians who will be “guests of the government of Israel,” enjoying a “wonderfully refreshing” Israeli policy that denies them the right to vote, assemble, express themselves, or live in peace in their own homeland.
Fortunately, few Americans take such outdated proposals seriously, but the real danger is that some Israelis do.
