- Admin History/Bio
- Dunkelman joined the Machal (foreign fighters for Israel) in 1948 at the onset of the First Arab-Israeli War and was active in helping the fledgling Israeli Army break out of Jerusalem and find a road to Tel Aviv. The Burma Road—named after a Second World War Burma supply route—was a makeshift route from Jerusalem to Tel-Aviv. Israeli soldiers, including Dunkelman, drove a convoy at night along a little-used route to reconnect the two cities. Later in the war, commanding the 7th Brigade, he captured Nazareth and northern Galilee. After Dunkelman had left the Israel Defense Forces in 1949 to seek work as a businessman, he kept in contact with the armed forces of Israel through such organizations as the Jewish War Veterans of Canada, the 7th Brigade Veterans Fund, American Veterans of Israel, the Association of Jewish War Veterans, and the Mahal Association.

- 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.
