My thoughts, assertions and observations on issues important to me as a Jew, a Zionist, a Revenant in Yesha and as an inquisitive human being.
About Me
- YMedad
- Shiloh, Benjamin District, Samaria, Israel
- American born, my wife and I moved to Israel in 1970. We have lived at Shiloh together with our family since 1981. I was in the Betar youth movement in the US and UK. I have worked as a political aide to Members of Knesset and a Minister during 1981-1994, lectured at the Academy for National Studies 1977-1994, was director of Israel's Media Watch 1995-2000 and currently, I work at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center in Jerusalem. I was a guest media columnist on media affairs for The Jerusalem Post, op-ed contributor to various journals and for six years had a weekly media show on Arutz 7 radio. I serve as an unofficial spokesperson for the Jewish Communities in Judea & Samaria.

Note Article 2 of the first version of the PLO Covenant. It says "with its boundaries at the time of the British mandate." This means that it had no boundaries in Arab/Muslim tradition but had to rely on the mandatory boundaries. That is, the boundaries of the Jewish National Home. I think that this formula is repeated in the later version of the PLO charter from --I believe-- 1968. Bernard Lewis wrote an article for Commentary circa 1974-75 in which he explained what this formula means:
that there was no Arab/Muslim tradition of a separate country called "palestine" or "filastin." And therefore there was no tradition among the Arabs of a "palestinian people."
