    <title>What's New at Think-Israel.org</title>
    <link>http://www.think-israel.org/index.html</link>
    <description>THINK-ISRAEL features essays and commentaries that provide context for 
        the continuing crisis in Israel.  We report on global anti-Semitism. The war 
        Islam is waging against Israel and the West is our top priority. We aim to make 
        sense of what's going on.

            Ted Belman: Summary Of Israel's Legal Rights To Judea And Samaria
        </title>
        <description>
        <![CDATA[
            Ted Belman summarizes the unbroken series of treaties and resolutions,
            laid out by the San Remo Resolution, the League of Nations and the
            United Nations, that give the Jewish People title to Mandatory
            Palestine and the city of Jerusalem. Ownership of the Land went from
            the defunct Ottoman Empire to the present State of Israel. The Arabs
            were never involved. The "Palestinians" had never owned the land;
            they had never had a state on the land. Considering that during the
            same period and by the same mechanisms, the Arabs acquired title to
            over 99% of the Middle East, the Arabs can hardly be considered to be
            deprived of land.

            Eli E. Hertz: UN Security Council Resolutions 181 And 242
        </title>
        <description>
        <![CDATA[
            Eli Hertz presents the pertinent information about two U.N.
            Resolutions &#151; 181 and 242 &#151; that are often used inaccurately
            to 'prove' that Israel needs to give up yet more of its tiny country
            to the Arabs. Resolution 187 was adopted by the General Assembly in
            1947 and would have partitioned mandated Palestine into a Jewish state
            and an Arab state. It was never adopted by the Security Council, so it
            was never a binding resolution. In any event, the Arabs rejected it.
            It became null and void when the Arab states invaded the new-born
            state of Israel in 1948. U.N. Resolution 242 was adopted after the
            6-day war by the Security Council. It said that Israel was to return
            <i>some</i> of the land it conquered when the Arab states formally
            agreed to allow Israel to live in peace with secure and recognized
            borders. It did not mention Palestinian arabs.

            REPRINT Martin Sherman: Barghouti, Amnesty and Travesty
        </title>
        <description>
        <![CDATA[
            Palestinian Arabs should have a contest on who can invent the most
            awful thing to blame on Israel, especially when they have highly
            partial NGOs like Amnesty International to help them. Water is so
            basic, everyone can sympathize with the po' Palestinians being
            deprived of water by the evil Israel. Unfortunately, the figures don't
            support their claim. Their problems &#151; as usual &#151; are self-inflicted:
            their leaders are not the most ept in maintaining distribution and
            they have allowed "untreated effluents to endanger 'downstream'
            Israeli supplies." Martin Sherman is discussing the Mountain Aquifer
            in Samaria and Judea (the West Bank). Imagine the disaster if they
            plonk an Arab state there &#151; the aquifer would go the way of the
            Coastal Aquifer that the Gaza arabs have ruined.

           REPRINT Lyn Julius: The Al-Kuwaity Brothers are Back!
        </title>
        <description>
        <![CDATA[
            Lyn Julius tells the story of the al-Kuwaity brothers, Saleh and
            Daoud, who became famous in the Arab world as composers and
            performers. They were born in Kuwait of Iraqi Jewish parents a century
            ago. When Iraq and the other Arab countries began terrorizing their
            Jewish communities, the brothers fled to Israel along with most of the
            other Iraqi Jews. As is usual in totalitarian countries, they became
            unpersons in the Arab countries that had acclaimed their compositions.
            Their music was still played, but "attributed to Muslim musicians or
            labeled 'of folk origin'". Julius writes, "The Arab world needs to
            acknowledge its debt and to accept that uprooting their Jews exacted a
            heavy price. The day that a street in Baghdad is named after the
            al-Kuwaity brothers would be a day for celebration, indeed."
