This crisis has many consequences, but only one cause. Abba Eban was born on February 2, 1915 in Cape Town, South Africa as Aubrey Solomon Meir. Israel’s right to peace, security, sovereignty, … indeed its very right to exist, has been forcibly denied and aggressively attacked.
Though the documentary does include footage of the horrific suicide bombings carried out by Hamas in February and March of 1996, Eban once again minimizes Palestinian responsibility, claiming the attacks were in retaliation for Israel’s killing of Yehya Ayash.
Employing his most authoritative tones, Mr. Eban declares that after the Six Day War in 1967 the PLO "called for the eviction of Israel from captured territories…" The PLO, and its leader, Yasir Arafat, called for more than Israel’s "eviction" – they called for Israel’s destruction. Eban died in 2002 and was buried in Kfar Shmaryahu, north of Tel Aviv.
The fact that Ayash, the ace bomber of Hamas, had already masterminded at least 5 suicide bombings, and that he was actively planning more when he met his fate, apparently leaves Mr. Eban unperturbed. Similarly, in a speech before the United Nations following the Six Day War, Eban stated: In recent weeks, the Middle East has passed through a crisis whose shadows darkened the entire world.
Instead, after a nearly five-year hiatus in the airing of films about Israel, PBS has yet again presented a skewed history in which countries and movements that have vowed to destroy Israel are portrayed as reasonable, and the failures of the peace process are laid at Israel’s doorstep. He also narrated television documentaries including Heritage: Civilization and the Jews (PBS, 1984), for which he was host, Israel, A Nation Is Born (1992), and On the Brink of Peace (PBS, 1997).
Thus, he greatly overstates Oslo’s diplomatic benefits to Israel, claiming that thanks to the accords "over one hundred new countries expressed their willingness to establish diplomatic relations" with Israel. As Eban certainly knows, this is precisely the aim of Hamas and Islamic Jihad. In other words, Madrid rather than Oslo had the greater impact on Israel’s diplomatic standing. He was married to Shoshana (Suzy) Ambache. The Arabs as seekers of peace and Israel as the intransigent obstacle is not particularly new propaganda.
In fact, polls indicate wide support for a peace that is tactical and temporary, lasting only until the Arabs are strong enough to eliminate Israel.
Abba Eban was born on February 2, 1915 in Cape Town, South Africa as Aubrey Solomon Meir. He was a writer, known for Double Edge (1992), Heritage: Civilization and the Jews (1984) and The Ed Sullivan Show (1948). You mean that provocative acts that are responded to with desperation are a question of moral equivalency?" Though the documentary does include footage of the horrific suicide bombings carried out by Hamas in February and March of 1996, Eban once again minimizes Palestinian responsibility, claiming the attacks were in retaliation for Israel’s killing of Yehya Ayash.
He has lectured widely on media coverage of the Middle East and related issues. In fact, according to Israel’s Foreign Ministry: Of those states that entered into diplomatic relations with Israel following the DOP, however, three resulted from the breakup of Yugoslavia, with which Israel already had relations.
