His stance : is detached and he neither condemns nor : sympathises with any side in particular. : He had a very through knowledge of the : history and politics of the Middle East : and if he were alive today, I feel sure he : would be deeply distressed about the : present situation in Palestine. : --Previous Message-- : I'm just wondering, did Whittemore sympathise : strongly with either side in the middle : east conflict? : : : :
