  • As the tenth anniversary of the founding of Israel approached, Israeli Ambassador to the United States Abba Eban talked to Mike Wallace about Arab nations, the Arab refugee problem, Egyptian President Nasser, the role of American Jews in Israel's future, and the charge that Israel threatens world peace with a policy of territorial expansion. This is a kinescope of the nationally televised prime-time program, "The Mike Wallace Interview."

    The questions and issues of 63 years ago have not gone away. Abba Eban was one of kind. Very few were as intelligent and as eloquent as he was.

    What a command of the facts. I love how he responded to the comment by the head of the Bank of Egypt; " I find his concern for us rather touching." And about the rabbi who didn't approve "I'm rather too occupied with my duties to follow this gentleman." In other words, who is that guy, anyway?" Eban was a statesman`s statesman, always on the ball.

    Its funny how some Arab economist predicted the financial downfall of Israel due to its lack of resources and its trade deficit but here we are almost 60 years later and Israel thrives while most of the Arab world struggles, could it be a country's greatness has less to do with resources and more to do with the culture , work ethic, and form of government it puts into place?

      Arabs have been killing Jews and stealing their land in an effort to thwart Jewish sovereignty for more than 100 years. It is only in the last 76 years that Jews began fighting back in a meaningful way.

    As Abba Eben speaks for himself very well. Let me comment on my impression on Mike Wallace. I see in this interview his was NOT sympathetic to the idea of Jewish state. I thought he was a bit anti-Semite then I glanced at his bio. So I conclude at least here, he displays jewish self hate, not surprisingly.

    • @ericadar

      Wallace had no anti-semitic tendencies. He was a contrarian journalist, seeking to expose the weaknesses in others' arguments.

      ok: the gaza strip has been taken over by a gang of fascist theocratic thugs whose leader lives in luxury in qatar and who kill anyone who speaks out against them or is gay. and they cynically maintain their power by firing rockets at Israel children, hiding their rocket launchers in densely populated areas so that the inevitable Israeli response kills Palestinians, which they then use to fan hatred of Israel among an eager, antisemitic global audience that pretends to care about human rights but actually just hates jews
