...mission is therefore unnecessary and likely to exacerbate the situation; because of its composition, its report is likely to be very critical of Israel. The U.N. has an abysmal record of impartiality when it comes to Israel, and the planned mission is likely to be another attempt by Arab nations to hijack the U.N. in their continued efforts to delegitimize the Jewish state...
...realize that information bias exists on both sides of this conflict. I was disturbed to learn that the Saudi and Egyptian press covered the Passover Massacre of 28 Israelis with the same callousness that the Wall Street Journal reports Palestinian casualties. Yet the recklessness of the Arab press does not absolve us from our responsibility to learn and tell the truth. We are, after all, a democratic society. And our nation is the only nation in the world with the ability to act as a mediator in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Efforts to hide the truth from the American public...

...daunting task. Even by the shadowy standards of spy agencies, the ISI is notorious. It is commonly branded "a state within the state," or Pakistan's "invisible government." It has sponsored Muslim rebels in Indian-held Kashmir, and propped up the Taliban and by extension its malevolent Arab guests in Afghanistan?though it denies these charges. Its tentacles stretch into Pakistani politics, courts and everyday life. It is much feared; a venal whisper from an ISI informer can destroy a career or lead to arrest?or worse...
