- Scope and Content
- Item consists of a recording of the Canada-Israel Committee segment, presented by Paul Michaels. Inspired by a Toronto Star editorial titled "A Message to Israel," which was highly unfavourable to Israel's occupation of the West Bank, Michaels traces a historical panorama of the Arab-Israeli conflicts in the area since the 1947 UN resolution allowing the creation of the state of Israel. He blames Egypt and Jordan for the situation of Palestinian refugees in Gaza and the West Bank, respectively; comments on the occupation by Israel of the West Bank (from Jordan), Gaza (from Egypt), and the Golan Heights (from Syria), and claims that the occupation has brought development to these areas; and recognizes the frustration of Palestinians over the non-advancement of negotiations and their yearn for a national identity, but blames the impass on the Arab leaders for their refusal to recognize the state of Israel and for their belligerency, which stall negotiations.
