The article discusses the situation of war and peace in Israel. The overriding reason for the war against Israel today is that Yasir Arafat, President of Israel, decided that war was the way to carry out the often-avowed Palestinian plan. When Israel had a government that was dedicated to finding a way to make peace, the warrior pundits were placed on the defensive and the Palestinians received a reasonably fair shake from the nation's elite media. A majority of Israelis supports a freeze in the provocative practice of settlement building, the mindless hysteria of the punditocracy of the United States, must have other sources than mere logic.
