		From Beirut to Jerusalem is the story of Thomas Friedman and his analysis of the Palestine/Israel conflict.
		Beirut was an example of what can go right in having a disparate group of Christians, Jews, and Muslims live together in a Middle Eastern city.
		There was a very clear progression from Beirut to Jerusalem as Friedman was transferred over to Jerusalem, but at the same time I felt that Friedman presented enough material that I could begin to understand the context of Jerusalem.

		BRIAN LAMB: Thomas L. Friedman New York Times reporter and author of "From Beirut to Jerusalem." You use a Mexican proverb in the beginning of chapter 6: "All your friends are false.
		And it was my way of saying that in the situation that they were in in Beirut they really had no friends in the Arab world who were going to come to their aid, no friends in Europe who, at the end, were going to come to their aid.
		That is people have built houses, businesses or careers around their lives in Beirut, and as shattered as those careers or homes or businesses may be, they just don't want to leave and start over somewhere else.

	Address to conference on Jerusalem: Minaret of Freedom
		Although I am a Palestinian whose mother was born and raised in Jerusalem and whose father was born in a small village that the Israelis have now partially incorporated into Jerusalem through their expansion of the definition of the city’s borders, yet I must speak in English because my Arabic is inadequate to the task.

		I came to this meeting looking forward to dealing with practical issues of constructing a new international organization dedicated to the liberation of Jerusalem.

		Israelis who have reservations about Arafat´s leaving for Lebanon are skeptical about the potentially positive effects of the summit, in addition to their criticism of Arafat´s failure to stop terrorism and implement the Tenet cease-fire proposals.

		U.S. and Israeli negotiators should realistically judge the success of the summit by the extent that it does not weaken the agreed terms of reference of negotiations in the past, particularly UN Security Council Resolution 242.
