Second of two talks on Israel by Lord Kinross
During his recent visit to Israel Lord Kinross found a general disposition to believe that the country can become economically stable and prosperous not only independently of American aid but independently of any sort of agreement with the Arab states. This, he believes, is a dangerous illusion for Israel, and he contrasts the attitude with an original objective of Zionism-to give international status to Jews in normal relations with the other nations of the world.
