The
Red Sea Summitt: the road to peace?
The
leaders of the United States, Israel and the Palestinian Authority
met in Aqaba and agreed to implement a "road map" for
peace. Turning words into action requires that one's verbal committment
be consistent with one's plans to confront terror and violence.
See how the actions of the PA may not always be in line with the
pronouncements made.
The
Oslo Agreements- the vision and the reality
The
Oslo agreements were thought to have ushered in a new era and
a “new Middle East”. In reality, the promises of the
signed commitments were never implemented. This presentation reviews
the agreed commitments and details how the Palestinian Authority
violated each of them.
Settlements—an
illegal obstacle to peace?

Settlements have been viewed by many as the prime obstacle
to peace. What is the history of settlements? Are they indeed
"illegal" as some say? See how settlements are in fact
legal under international law and how Jews and Arabs can live
together in peace
Israel
and the United Nations
Israel
is often portrayed as operating in violation of UN resolutions.
See how critics of Israel present only part of the story, and
how Israel’s enemies have routinely ignored UN resolutions
for decades.
A global perspective on civilian casualties in war
The
tragedy of civilian casualties during wartime is a global and
historical phenomenon. As a by-product of battle, it has been
an issue that many have focused on with regard to Israel only.
How has the Western world approached protecting civilians during
a necessary war?
The " Big Lie"—the divestment from Israel movement

Colleges
and universities around the world have taken the lead in claiming
that Israelis policies violate human rights. The assumptions behind
the divestment movement are analyzed and challenged in a presentation
that shows the deception behind these distortions of Israeli policy.
Israel’s
quest for peace: The path of compromise
Israel
has been searching for peace for decades. In a variety of
international and unilateral moves, Israel has taken the path
of compromise in order to reach that goal.
Israel’s
quest for peace: The search for a partner
Peace
must be made between two parties. When presented with sincere
partners for peace, Israel has taken the necessary steps to end
conflict and initiate proper neighborly relations. See how Israel
has been able to make peace with partners who believed in non-violence
and co-existence.
The
Israel Defence Forces (IDF)- the humanitarian side
The
Israeli armed forces are a reflection of the people of Israel,
with a long history of "purity of arms" and humanitarian
concerns. See how the IDF is a multicultural, multi-ethnic citizens’
army that provides help to Israelis and the world in many ways.
