The Mideast: The Arabs Live There, Too

Speaker(s): Alfred Lilienthal, Del Shields (host)

Description: Alfred M. Lilienthal (1915-2008) was an American Jew and a prominent critic of Zionism and the state of Israel. He had served in the U.S. Army in the Middle East (1943-1945). While based in Egypt, Lilienthal made his first visit to the Holy Land, and was struck by the multi-racial composition of Jerusalem's citizens at that time. He thought it was wrong for the U.S. to arm Israel and to support a Zionist approach to the Mideast. He also felt U.S. politics unwisely sided solely with Israel for political reasons. This discussion focuses on on his views and includes discussion of the Six-Day War, also known as the Arab-Israeli war in 1967. It also covers various aspects of the other history of Israel since 1947. The first of Dr. Lilienthal's books on Zionism and the Palestinian question was "What Price Israel?" in 1953, followed by "There Goes the Middle East" (1957), "The Other Side of the Coin" (1965), "The Zionist Connection: What Price Peace?" (1978), and "The Zionist Connection II: What Price Peace?" (1982). He was a lecturer, TV and Radio commentator, author of magazine articles, and a columnist.
