From Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger
A. Linked below are a few "politically-incorrect" articles on issues which are relevant to the national security of the US and Israel and their bilateral relations.
The documents aim at generating second thoughts (out of the box thinking), challenging conventional wisdom and providing information and assessments unavailable in the "elite media."
The documents are based on Ambassador Ettinger's 40 years of experience - as a researcher, diplomat (Ambassador), lecturer, writer and consultant to members of Congress and Knesset - in the areas of Middle East politics and US policy in the Middle East ( see CV{ Section B},below).
5. US-Israel two-way-street relations: Israel's unique contributions to the US national security and economy.
6. Is the Palestinian issue the crown jewel of Arab policy makers (The Middle East "talk" VS. "walk")?
