The classic pattern that has repeated itself over and over - Israel panicking in the face of an Arab "peace offensive": <<< President Kennedy authorized a major - and highly secret - State Department effort to implement the new variant of UN Resolution 194; over the next 18 months, said Armin Meyer, a workable compromise was accepted by the Arab states and endorsed by the White House. Meyer, who served as ambassador to Jordan, Iran, and Japan before retiring from the Foreign Service in 1972, is convinced today that Ben Gurion's decision not to torpedo the resettlement project was based on the belief that the Arabs would never accept direct negotiations on any issue with Israel; any discussion of repatriation, in their eyes, would be tantamount to formal recognition. When the expected last-minute Arab rejections did not come, Meyer said, "Israel panicked," and provoked a wave of intense political pressure from American Jews upon the White House. In the end, President Kennedy backed down. >>> From Seymour Hersh's The Samson Option (p114) Tom
