"The Israelis, who were
the party usually condemned,
were so convinced of the es-
sential righteousness of their
cause that a Security Council
reproof had little impact. The
only public opinion they were
really concerned about was

desire to create war while
mouthing peace, of insincerity
in dealings with the Arab
