In 1950 the Israeli Parliament passed a dramatic and symbolic law known as The Law of Return.

When the second truce in Israel’s War of Independence went into effect on July 18, 1948, Israel was militarily in a far better position than it had been at the outbreak of the War. Still, work was still very much cut out for the nascent IDF as Egyptian forces had pressed so deep into the Negev that they were able to menace the key artery linking Te…

Professor Alan Dershowitz writes that the controversial battle in the Deir Yassin suburb of Jerusalem in 1948, “Stands out in the history of Arab-Jewish conflict in Palestine precisely because it was so unusual and out of character of the Jews.” Arab armies massacred Jewish civilians avoiding any Jewish refugee problem. The Israelis did not kill Ar…
