There are many people who are finding it difficult to understand the technical terminology of the New Middle East. They listen to the discussions of events on CNN and the BBC, they read the Israeli leftist press, they listen to politicians and to Arab spokesmen, and they are simply confused.

Accordingly, as a public service, we have decided to bring to you a pocket dictionary and guide that will help you translate the terms being used to simple English that you might be able to better understand. In each case, we give you the technical term, and then explain what it really is referring to and what it really means.
