...Jordan, the next stop, greeted Dulles with an olive branch, which someone thrust into his hand, and an unscheduled, indignant lecture. Said Aaref el Aaref, Arab historian and former mayor of Jerusalem's Old City: "Our . . . friendship has been imperiled by the Truman Administration, which not only created Israel but has been keeping it as a thorn in our side." Replied Dulles: "At home we Americans heatedly debate many issues, but we are not in the habit of criticizing one another outside the country.

...candor. Stoutly denying that U.S. Middle East policy is Zionist-dictated, Dulles said that the Jews as a whole had voted against him in the 1949 New York senatorial race (which he lost) and generally against Ike in 1952.

Eight Arab states, with a population of 40 million, had to divide the other 57%. Arab states had hoped that the Eisenhower Administration would even the bal ance. Yet the new Administration's sched ule reportedly plans to give Israel 41% of the 1954 total. Are Eisenhower and Dulles only...
...Israelis say they are eager for an Arab peace that would end the regional boycott of their products and allow them to cut down their standing army. Ben-Gurion assured a reporter that Israel is willing to guarantee its existing Arab frontiers "for 100 years."
