The new possibilities in architecture led to an ongoing debate between functionalists who felt that form must follow function and opponents who believed that design should be constrained only by the laws of physics and the limits of imagination, irrespective of the main purpose or function of the construction.1 About the time Chicago architecture was breaking free of past height limitations, the international community began creating its first tribunals with the establishment of the Permanent Court of Arbitration,2 which emerged from the Hague Peace Conferences of 1899 and 1907, the short-lived Central American Court of Justice (1907-1918), and later the Permanent Court of International Justice ("PCIJ"), predecessor to the current International Court of Justice ("ICJ"). ICJ Judge Oda h...

As of today, there no longer exists an international emergency force to protect Israel. We shall exercise patience no more. We shall not complain any more to the UN about Israel.

The following day, he added: "We will not accept any ... coexistence with Israel. ...Today the issue is not the establishment of peace between the Arab states and Israel. ...The war with Israel is in effect since 1948" (Leibler, p. 18).

This week, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas signed an "accord" with Hamas, the Islamist organization whose entire existence has been based on violent rejection of compromise not just with Israel but with the larger and dominant secular Palestinian movement. The strongest of the organizations was al-Fatah, which was not a political party but a national movement. Its leaders were the first to speak independently of Palestinian aspirations. Yasir Arafat was the leader of al-Fatah and the Palestine Liberation Organization, the only group given the international legal standing to represent Palestinian rights. Arafat succeeded in forcing the world to recognize Palestinian rights and forced the Arab World to accept independence from Israel and from Jordan as the ultimate political goal. The...

But Obama and Jones manifest a singular myopia about which side is threatening that dignity and security when only one side is teaching its children that the other is the "enemy" - a sentiment that is hardly compatible with the new era of peace that is supposed to dawn with the establishment of this state.
