Winston Mideast Analysis & Commentary
September 26, 1997
Madame Albright (fresh from discovering that most of her Jewish family was gassed and burned in Nazi death camps) gave a terse message to the Jews of Israel. She told Prime Minister Netanyahu that he should cease construction of Jewish homes because it provoked the Palestinians to bomb Jews. Where is her honor?
September 26, 1997
"The now detained Hamas spokesman, Ibrahim Gosheh, used to hold his press briefings in the Islamist parliamentarians' offices because they enjoy legal immunity.

September 25, 1997

September 21, 1997
The Jewish people have good and plenty reasons to loathe and despise most of the press. While reporters and TV newspeople will accurately cover almost every news event with some reliability, when it comes to the Jewish State of Israel, all rules of ethical journalism cease. Even when they are forced to report on a bombing of Jews by Arabs, they manage to put a spin on the story that makes the Jews equally guilty for having been murdered.

Elyakim Haetzni
It may be that Pres. Weizmann came back full of honor from his latest trip to The United States - the question is: Did he bring honor to his country, or did he just go to build himself up on his people's expense?
Moshe Leshem
To our sorrow, in our country there is never a quiet or a dull moment. The turbid waves resulting from the unsuccessful attempt to eliminate a top Hamas member in Jordan are swelling and threatening to overwhelm us. The opposition leaders, massively backed by the left-wing press, have unsheathed their long knives and, as usual, are on a head-hunt for Prime Minister Netanyahu.

Kashmir, as an Example
Elyakim HaEtzni
October 4, 1997
This affair captured my attention on the occasion of a visit which Shimon Peres made to India in his heyday. The Kashmir region has a Muslim majority and a Hindu minority. It is ruled by Indian, and is afflicted by murderous Muslim terrorism. Peres, who wanted to please his Indian hosts, defended Hindu minority rule over the Muslim majority. Not one of the journalists there asked him: Why in your Kashmir, which is known as the West Bank, do you do the opposite?

Reciprocity - Never!,
December 24, 1997
Winston Mideast Analysis & Commentary
Yassir Arafat, with acknowledged support from the Clinton government, has proven that he will never, ever honor any agreement made with the Jewish State. The Clinton Administration has shown that, while it demands that agreements be kept for itself, when it comes to the Jewish State both the US and the Arab nations may break any agreement and the Clinton Administration will keep silent. This does not stop the Clinton Administration, in lockstep with Arafat, from cooking up new Reciprocity Agreements with which Israel must comply - but ONLY Israel, not the PLO. Israel's submission is considered vital to secure Clinton's place in history and Al Gore's victory for President.

Time to Decide,
December 1, 1997
It is unwise to wait any longer. It is time to make the decision that will allow the multi-millennial saga of our people to continue. Fifty years ago enlightened mankind through UN resolution 181 grudgingly agreed to allow the re-creation of the Jewish State. The dream came true, the Jews were again to become free people in a free country. Blinded by the happiness, they did not notice that the UN was already regretting its move ...
