| ARTICLES RELATED TO Pinhas Lavon | | | |  Pinhas Lavon: Encyclopedia II - Lavon Affair - Operation SuzannahIn the early 1950s the United States began pressuring the British to withdraw from the Suez Canal, abandoning two operative treaties, the Convention of Constantinople and the Anglo-Egyptian Treaty of 1936 that made the canal a neutral zone under British control. Israel was strongly opposed to the British withdrawal, as it feared that it would remove a moderating effect on Nasser's military ambitions, especially toward Israel, but diplomatic methods failed to sway the British.

| | | | Pinhas Lavon: Encyclopedia II - Qibya massacre - Events leading up to the attack The attack was the result of escalating border clashes which had begun almost immediately after the signing of the armistice in 1949.

| | | | Pinhas Lavon: Encyclopedia II - Refusal to serve in the Israeli military - Reaction to the refuseniks Almost all the political factions in Israel have condemned refusal to serve on ideological grounds, using terms such as dangerous and undemocratic.

Orthodox women can avoid service in the military by doing national service work instead. Also, many people who are "unfit" or "unqualified", either mentally or physically, ...
