Notes of Articles
I've found that I read a lot of magazine articles, but often times it all ends
up as a jumble. In order to reflect more on what I read, I am writing notes on
some of the articles that I read.

The following was lifted from the Queens Library website:
Avishai is a young American who, like many of his generation, has had life-long
interest and personal involvement in Israel. Like many others, he tried to
settle in Israel, but for a variety of reasons could not adjust to life there.
He has been writing about current affairs in Israel and the Middle East for a
number of years and this volume represents the culmination of his assessments to
date. The first part is a brief summary of the history of Zionism leading to the
establishment of the State of Israel. The second part deals with the period
after 1948 and includes both previous observations by the author as well as
fresh insights, many critical of Israeli policy. The conclusions in this book
clearly will not please all readers, which is perhaps exactly why it should be
read. Recommended. Jehuda Reinharz, Near Eastern & Judaic Studies Dept.,
