Israel-Arab Reader
Seraphic Secret recommends this fine volume. We received it a few days before Pesach and during the holiday read close to half the book. The original documents are real eye openers. If you care about Israel, if you care about history and truth, well, this book is essential reading.
Seraphic Secret often links to Professor Rubin's articulate articles. We have an ongoing correspondence with the good professor about Israel, terrorism, strategy and yes, even movies and old time Hollywood. Thus, it's a distinct honor and pleasure to bring this excellent book to our reader's attention.
“THE ISRAEL-ARAB READER”
Seventh edition
Edited by Walter Laqueur and Barry Rubin
Now available from Penguin publishers is this new edition of one of the most highly respected, widely used reference books on the Middle East, documenting the Arab-Israel conflict and peace process from its inception to the present day.
The book provides almost 300 primary texts covering more than a century of history. It documents the British mandate and early attempts to handle the conflict; Israel's independence and the outbreak of wars; international diplomatic efforts to make peace including the 1990s’ peace process and its breakdown. Materials are presented reflecting the positions of Arab leaders and states, Europeans, Israel, Palestinians, the USSR, and the United States. The texts of international resolutions and agreements, as well as accords made during the peace process, are also provided.
The result is a comprehensive work suitable for reading, reference, and teaching.

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
Sounds like a worthwhile purchase. I'll definitely have to get one.

Thanks so much for writing. It's a great book, and I'm sure you'll find much that is absolutely new and revealing.
Hedy thinks so too:-)
Keep in touch.

Great idea. In fact, I'll have Heddy lash out and make sure they receive copies. And hey, while we're at it, we'll send it to Obama's spiritual advisor, whoops ex-spiritual advisor: Jeremiah "Always Wrong" Wright.

Woah. Kinky. How does she keep her whip from getting tangled up in all that chiffon? I hate it when that happens.

Well, as you know, Hedy was extremely bright, she co-invented "frequency hopping" advance radio controls for torpedoes. The details are here.

I have heard from well placed sources that the awesome and halachically Jewish Hedy (Jewish mother) worked out a precise mathematical formula for lashing out while wearing miles and miles of chiffon.
I bet you think I'm going to make some wild vow about being Hedy's slave forever, but guess what, I am not gonna do it. Unh-huh. No way, Jose. Fooled ya. Dontcha feel silly?

And Hedy must have been a terrific wife for she was in such demand that she did it six times!
