Abstract:

The essay recalls the heritage of the people of Israel and their need for a Jewish National Home, to which all Jews could return after centuries of wandering in exile about the face of the globe. Data were gathered from a search of the literature, and personal interviews were held with individuals considered expert in the subject. Arab--Israeli relationship is discussed along with the difficulties involved in effecting a solution to the Arab--Israeli conflict. A justification of Israeli retention of territory captured in the 1967 war is made on the gounds that it is needed for defense and the economic improvement which would accrue to the land and the peoples of the occupied territories.
