Myths
and Facts: A Guide to the Arab-Israel
Conflict
 In
1957, Si Kenen started a newsletter
— Near East Report — to inform
the public about events relating to
the Middle East. Much of what he published
in NER was current, but he also recognized
the need to educate readers about the
Arab-Israeli conflict and to debunk
myths perpetrated by those who wished
to rewrite history to suit their own
purposes. Toward this end, NER began
to publish special surveys of pertinent
issues. Gradually these analyses grew
to book length and were published as
Myths and Facts.
Myths
about the Middle East did not originate
in the 1950's, nor have they ceased
to be promulgated. The tumultuous events
in the region seem to be consistently
accompanied by all new distortions
of the facts about the Arab-Israeli
conflict. With Near East Research's
permission, and by popular demand,
AICE produced an updated version of
this classic text. This version has
the advantage of being hyperlinked
to the vast resources available in
the Jewish
Virtual Library and is constantly
updated as new events occur.
The
response to our online version was
overwhelming and people began to ask
for hard copies of the text. Consequently,
we published a version in paperback
for quick, easy reference. I recommend
you purchase a copy to keep handy for
use when you can't get online. New
myths that emerge after publication
of the book will be incorporated online
with the corresponding facts. To receive
a weekly myth and fact and periodic
fact sheets by email, send a request

AICE
is also pleased to offer a variety
of translations online. Currently,
we offer Spanish, German, Portuguese, Russian, French,
and Swedish These
are also available in paperback. We
have also recently added a chapter
to the English edition on Canada-Israel
Relations written by David Goldberg.
"Truth," Lord
Acton said, "is the only merit
that gives dignity and worth to history." The
following pages lay out the truth about
the Arab-Israeli conflict. It is the
best weapon we have against the purveyors
of falsehood.
