Are
the Palestinians ready to make peace with Israel?
In his first comments as America's new Secretary of State,John Kerrysaid that pursuingIsraeli-Palestinian peacewould be one of his top priorities. "So much
of what we aspire to achieve and what we need to do globally, what we need to do
in the Maghreb and South Asia, South Central Asia, throughout the Gulf, all of
this is tied to what can or doesn't happen with respect to Israel-Palestine. And
in some places it's used as an excuse. In other places it's a genuine, deeply
felt challenge."
Kerry's statement was alarming because it represented the long
discredited State Department view that the Palestinian issue is the root of all
Middle East problems and ignored the turmoil in the region unrelated to the
Palestinian issue, including threats from al-Qaeda, unrest in Iraq, ongoing fighting with
the Taliban in Afghanistan, new terror
threats in North Africa, Syriain
flames,Egypton
the verge of chaos, and most important,Iran nearing the ability to build a nuclear
weapon.

Classroom Battleground: Which Campuses are
Problematic?

Last year AICE
published the study,
Israel and the Campus: The Real Story
[PDF], which exploded a
number of misconceptions about Israel and the universities. We found, for
example, that a
nti-Israel
activity
ha
s
not changed dramatically since the late 1960s. In addition, we documented
relatively few incidents of anti-Israel activity (674), and those were confined
to fewer than 3% of all American campuses.
As
the study noted and in response to some criticism of our methods and results,
statistics don't tell the entire
story.
