First edition. Original paper wrappers. 8vo. 16 pages; 22.5 cm. A speech given by Abba Eban about the status of Israel in the eyes of the world, particularly with regard to the Arab-Israeli conflict, and the need for support of the state amongst the worlds nations. At the very center of our discussion of the Arab-Israel tension there stands the overriding issue of international equity. Some propaganda which is put about would have you believe that the Arab states are entitled to an air of grievance or of injury, as though history in its broad movements has done ill by them; as though Israel has been singled out for favoritism in the Middle East; as though Israel alone has inherited the great boon and the challenge of sovereignty which has been denied to other people. Abba Eban, known for his eloquent oratory, was Israeli Foreign Affairs Minister, Education Minister, Deputy Prime Minister, and ambassador to the United States and to the United Nations. He was also Vice President of the United Nations General Assembly (Wikipedia, 2016) . SUBJECT(S) : International relations, Israel relations, Middle East politics.

ill., ril. "Wall" raccoglie le fotografie panoramiche scattate tra il 2008 e il 2012 da Josef Koudelka a Gerusalemme, Hebron, Ramallah, Betlemme e in vari insediamenti israeliani lungo la strada della barriera che separa Israele dalla Palestina. Mentre gli israeliani chiamano il muro "recinzione di sicurezza", i palestinesi lo chiamano "muro dell'apartheid", e gruppi come Human Rights Watch usano il termine "barriera di separazione". Il muro del progetto di Koudelka è metaforicamente una spaccatura umana nel paesaggio naturale. All'interno del volume la cronologia, il glossario e le didascalie contestualizzano le immagini, e descrivono la difficile relazione tra il genere umano e la natura, e tra culture strettamente connesse.
