Dear Lord Rothschild,
I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty's Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet:"His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country".I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation.
Yours sincerely
Arthur James Balfour ”

Questions? Why are these elections being held?
Ehud Olmert resigns… accused of corruption
Under the presidency of Barack Obama, what would you infer is the current United State’s stand on the issue? Negotiate for peace with both political parties. The Kadima party is slightly more promising than the others
Why do you think it is difficult for Middle Eastern leaders to make peace? Extremist groups don’t want peace on BOTH sides… Yitzhak Rabin assassinated in 1995 by one of his own for
negotiating with PLO’s Yasser Arafat.

Islamic Fundamentalism 1967 - Six Day War had shown many Muslims
that God had turned away from them; Decisive victory for the Jews; It was a humiliating defeat for Muslims.
Islamic Fundamentalism – the only way back to God was to return to pure religion. Islam at its founding – the time of Mohammed Strict interpretation of the Koran; Sharia Law Jihad – wage war against those that insult Islam.
“Near Enemy” – impure Muslim society; secular “Distant Enemy” – the West; secular; pro Israel

1977 Times Magazine Man of the Year "We used to reject you, true. We refused to meet
you anywhere, true. We referred to you as the 'so-called Israel,' true. At international conferences our representatives refused to exchange greetings with you, true. At the 1973 Geneva Peace Conference our delegates did not exchange a single direct word with you, true. Yet today we agree to live with you in permanent peace and justice. Israel has become an accomplished fact recognized by the whole world and the superpowers. We welcome you to live among us in peace and security." --Anwar Sadat

What was life like for these 444 days? “But the student radicals knew little of the world and its ways,

“Some hostages were badly beaten. Others faced terrifying mock executions. A few were thrown in solitary confinement. Bowden skillfully gets inside the minds of the hostages, vividly describing their churning emotions and harrowing experiences.“
