  • Israel, Middle East
    Israel F N JUNE 23, 1992, FIFTEEN YEARS of Likud rule came to an end. The Labor party returned to power, with Yitzhak Rabin taking up where he had left off in 1977. The midyear change of government brought about a dramatic shift in Israel's international stature: relations with the United States, which had hit bottom during the first part of 1992 because of differences between the Bush administration and the Shamir government over loan guarantees, were quickly restored and im- proved. The international community as a whole greeted the new government and its policies with satisfaction, especially after its decision to unilaterally freeze new housing in Jewish settlements in the territories. However, expectations for a quick breakthrough in the peace process begun the previous year were dashed by the end of the year. Not only was no substantial progress achieved in the peace talks, but the very continuation of the process was overshadowed by Israel's decision to deport 400 Hamas activists to south Lebanon. Prime Minister Rabin, it seemed, was more eager than his Likud predecessors to achieve peace, but he had no intention of dropping the hard-line policies on matters of security that had earned him the confidence of the Israeli electorate in the first place. NATIONAL SECURITY The Intifada The intifada continued unabated in 1992, despite the promise held out by the Washington peace talks and despite the midyear change of power from Likud to Labor, which brought about a significant moderation of government policies toward the territories and the Palestinians. Internecine bloodshed among the Palestinians continued to rise, as Palestinians killed almost twice as many of their own number (238) as were killed in skirmishes with the Israeli army (124).

  • Civic and Political (1994)
    Review of the Year UNITED STATES Civic and Political Intergroup Relations J. HE AMERICAN JEWISH COMMUNITY faced challenges on a number of fronts in 1992. The presidential and congressional elections forced a shift in priori- ties on the communal agenda toward an expanding range of domestic concerns. Black-Jewish relations continued along a rocky path: expressions of anti-Semitism in the African-American community accompanied by efforts at reconciliation be- tween the two groups. Support for Israel, relations with the Vatican, church-state issues, and various civil-rights matters also occupied the Jewish community in the course of the year. 1992 Elections As was the case in 1988, the 1992 general elections—particularly the presidential campaign—presented some problems for the Jewish community. Chief among these were the candidacies of conservative columnist Patrick J. Buchanan and former Klan leader David Duke (see "Political Anti-Semitism," below) and the injection of religion into the political process. THE CAMPAIGN Pat Buchanan, after garnering 37 percent of the vote in the New Hampshire Republican primary vote on February 17—compared with incumbent George Bush's 53 percent—received sizable "protest" votes in March 3 primaries in Colo- rado, Georgia, and Maryland, but none exceeding 36 percent. On Super Tuesday, March 9, Buchanan won sizable protest votes in five southern states and Oklahoma, Missouri, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island; his support all but eliminated the vote for Louisiana state representative David Duke, who received between 2 and 11 percent (9 percent in his home state). But Buchanan faded rapidly thereafter and was not a factor in the nomination process.

The series began in 2007 with the publication of Deciphering the Cultural Code, the first attempt of its kind to understand in depth the characteristics of intercultural thinking and to formulate the foundations of traditional-collectivist and modern-individualistic thinking down to the level of the individual word, while examining the ability to "translate" from one cultural language to another. The same year, Dialogue – 123 Therapeutic Tales from Traditional Society and their Resolution was published. This book examined the cultural issue, this time at the macro level, and presented an intercultural dialogue aimed at bridging the perceptual gaps between cultures with regard to child raising.
