For several weeks I have been attempting to find a way to address the current United Nations issue with regard to Israel and Palestine. As you might guess, there is a plethora of information available online, about 50% of it contradicting the other 50%. Not only are there conflicting reports, but it is difficult to know which of the many sites are legitimate news sources. I have decided to use as the basis for this column today an article by Edward Bernard Glick, a professor emeritus of political science at Temple University in Philadelphia and the author of several books, including “Peaceful Conflict” and “Soldiers, Scholars, and Society.” He wrote this article in 2006 and it is an excellent overview of the history of the Israeli-Palestinian problem. The history of the Jews in the Holy Land goes back long before the Babylonians and later when the Romans expelled Jews from the area. You don’t have to be a learned Biblical scholar or even a student of history to know this.
