Why after so many years since the establishment of the State of Israel, is this question even being brought up? Is is because it is related to the Jews, the Middle East, to the Europeans and the Holocaust, to world politics or to Israeli policies... The issue is more complex then ever.

"A carnival of hate, and World Conference Against Racism was also a prelude to the events of September 11." But a direct line can also be drawn between the recent Holocaust denial conference in Teheran, and the hatred and anti-Semitism demonstrated in Durban.

A young American who served as volunteer in Israel, shares with us his memorable learning experience at the "Save a Child's Heart" organization, where a group of cardiologists, pediatric heart surgeons and nurses donate their time in order to save as many children's lives as possible. With the slogan of “a child is a child”, they operate on any child in need regardless of religion, race, sex, or background creating the wonderful side effect of spreading tolerance and acceptance of each other's cultures.

Zionism Revisited
There’s no question of the pivotal role played by the media in the current Middle East conflict. The images flashed around the world have crystallized international opinion and perceptions of both Palestinian and Israeli behavior. What is in doubt, however, is how the journalists who shape that opinion go about their business in this volatile and often dangerous climate.

Martin Luther King, Jr. possessed a remarkable clarity of vision and purpose. He complemented these attributes with a sound, empathic understanding of the history of human oppression. Dr. King's unequivocal renunciation of anti-Zionism reflected his consistent, courageous opposition to all manifestations of bigotry. Against the backdrop of resurgent Jew hatred worldwide, epitomized by the hypocritical September 2001 Durban Conference on "Racism", Dr. King's candid, thoughtful reflections on the true nature of anti-Zionism are particularly edifying.

Among the many casualties of the renewed Mideast violence is the term "Zionism." Whereas it once epitomized idealism, romanticism, and the best of nationalism to millions of Jews and non-Jews, Zionism today is politically incorrect.

If you don't read the news you'll be uninformed, and if you read the news you'll be badly informed…….Mark Twain
In this article the author takes a critical look at the media and its coverage of the violent outbreaks in the territories. As the Anti-Defamation League of the Bnai Brith insisted, we are not asking the media to always defend Israel's position-we are asking it to be objective. But the field of international communications only communicates the Palestinian view.

The term "excessive force", when applied to the Israeli army, should be applied on the basis of balanced standards of international criterion. There is no need to summarily view our Arab neighbors, who do not hesitate to erase the remains of thousands of their own citizens when the latter are deemed as a threat to the regime. And even in comparison to the more "progressive" First World nations, Israel adheres to a strikingly moderate military policy. All this and more-although none of it seems to affect CNN's Middle East ratings.

Peace Process
This year's Rosh Hashanah marked a turning point in Israeli Palestinian relations.
The peace process collapsed and a new Intifada, or uprising began. As the violence in the territories continues and the casualty toll rises, the need to explain (hasbara) Israel's position has increased.
In the media Israel is portrayed as an aggressor bombing protestors, killing children and an occupying force. More directly University campuses have been, sadly turned into battles for public opinion. Personally, as a person who has run workshops with Palestinians in The West Bank and Gaza, the saddest element of recent weeks has been that Palestinians have reverted to propaganda not dialogue. More damaging still the propaganda has been used by Palestinians to persuade the uninformed student. Israel's real battle is in the field of public opinion.
The purpose of this article is to prevent quick answers to outrageous claims of Palestinian propaganda. It is not meant to be exhaustive but rather a quick reference before a debate or an interview. We at Hagshama hope that the soon the days of constructive dialogue will return. As Rabin once said: The best war is the one avoided.
