We are not the only people looking at the current turmoil in the Middle East, and considering how it might impact Israel. I was amazed to hear Richard Engel, the experienced Chief Foreign Correspondent of NBC news, make the following comment. He did so on Wednesday, April 13, 2011, while discussing the events of the day in Libya.
“This whole movement in the Middle East, I’m worried about it because while people in the region deserve more rights and they want more rights and they’re embracing more of the will of the Arab street, well, the will of the Arab street is also ferociously anti-Israel, against Israel.
And there’s many people who believe that if you empower the Arab street and the Arab street wants to see a war or wants to see more justice for the Palestinians, that, down the road three to five years, this could lead to a major war with Israel. It could also force a negotiated settlement. But I think, over time, this thing ends in Jerusalem”.
