Of McCarthyism and academic freedom

A widely recycled essay about "The New McCarthyism" charges that "a network of right-wing activists" is trying to curtail academic freedom by stifling views that are inconvenient for Israel and its supporters.

Israel's peace strategy

Earlier, I warned that the peace offensive was dangerous for Israel: dangerous if we did not take the initiative and use the peace process in our favor. The mention of "peace talks" however, justifiably sends shivers up the spines of Israeli politicians and Zionist advocates. Visions of the nightmare of the failed Camp David and Washington talks and of the "Land for terror" paradigm that characterized the Oslo negotiations. Therefore, it is not surprising that the mention of "peace talks" sent Israeli politicians scurrying to their burrows.

Democracy and the Arabs of Israel

The Arabs of Israel must receive every right that is due to a citizen of a democracy. This dictum has been central to mainstream Zionism for over a century. It is enshrined in Theodor Herzl's Utopian vision of Israel, Altneuland, in remarks by Chaim Weizmann at Zionist congresses and in his autobiography, Trial and Error, it is repeated in Israel's Declaration of Independence, and it is the law of the land.
