On Sunday May 1, (2011) Osama bin Laden was killed by a US military detachment in Abbotabad, Pakistan. His demise prompts a number of questions:
How does this relate to the current turmoil in the Middle East?
Is Osama's concept of the strong horse the key to understanding the potential outcomes of these stirring which some see as stirrings of democracy and civil rights?
On related matters, Why has there been almost no outrage about the targetted assassination by the US of the planner of the September 11, 2001, attacks on the US, where great outrage has been expressed where Israel has targetted acknowledged terrorists responsible for the death of hundreds of Israelis.

Gal Lusky Gal Lusky founder of Israel Flying Aid IFA
This broadcast differs somewhat in content and organization from broadcast 12, derived from the same extensive interview with Morry and Gabby.
Broadcast 23:
This session is a comprehensive interview with Young Israeli Gal Lusky who recounts how she set up and runs Israel Flying Aid (IFA) as a not-fo-profit, non governmental aid organization. Israel Flying Aid provides life saving aid to people affected by natural and manmade disasters. IFA focuses on providing aid to countries that have rejected offers of aid from other organizations, and often do not have diplomatic relations with Israel. The volunteers are all Israeli, Jews, Bedouin, other Arabs. IAF deploys within 48 hours.

Broadcast Thursday 24th March 2011
Repeated Sunday 27th March 2011
In this broadcast Morry and Gabby interviewed Michelle Rojas-tal Diaspora Education Director of Stand With Us International http://StandWithUs.com during her recent visit to Melbourne.
Presenter Morry was in Israel in the mid seventies and could recall a news item re Saudi Arabia paying the adverising firm Saatchi & Saatchi a very large sum to change the public perspective of the Arab Israel dispute. The outcome of the Saatchi & Saatchi effort was the acceptance of the concept of a Palestinian Israel conflict.

The eye-opening story of Arab Knesset member, female Arab, Balad MK Hanan Zouabi, who was a passenger on the Turkish flotilla of fools in May 2010. She recently toured Australia, claiming Israel is an Apartheid State, yet she is one of 13 Arab MKs, and free of danger of arrest for spouting treasonable views.

Population Exchange
Jews have lived in the Middle East for over three thousand years. The Jewish communities in what is now Iraq and Iran were there (until the final expulsion) for three thousand years, other communities were more than two thousand years old in 1948. But since 1948 close to a million Jews were expelled from Arab lands of whom approximately 750,000 came to Israel. In fact 70% of the Jewish population of Israel are from these Mizrahi (Eastern) Jews. The number of Arabs who migrated, fled, or were expelled from Israel were in 1948 considerably smaller that the than the number of Jewish refugees who restarted their lives in Israel.
When Mizrahi Jews first came to Israel, they were accommodated in tent cities called Maarabarot, pictured here.

At the San Remo Conference, April 25, 1920, England France Italy Japan (with the US as observer) carved up the pre-War Ottoman Empire into the three mandates of Iraq, Syria and Palestine. This agreement was assented to by 51 countries and by the League of Nations. The San Remo Resolution included the 1917 Balfour Declaration, designating Palestine as the Jewish homeland.
