Quote by John Podhoretz
The idea that the rest of the world was somehow being held hostage by the Arab-Israeli conflict once had a minimal basis in reality. In the first 20 years of Israel's existence, every Arab country was in an active state of war with the Jewish state.
Summary
This quote suggests that the belief that the Arab-Israeli conflict was negatively impacting the rest of the world was not entirely accurate. It highlights that during the first two decades of Israel's establishment, all Arab countries were actively engaged in warfare against Israel. This implies that the conflict primarily affected the Arab countries and Israel directly, rather than holding the entire world hostage as previously thought. The quote challenges the notion that the Arab-Israeli conflict had a significant global impact beyond the parties involved.
