| − | According to the account of Edward Herman and Gerry O'Sullivan, the 'most important' institute addressing the issue of terrorism in Israel in the 1980s was 'the [[Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies]], which is affiliated with the University of Tel Aviv. Its links to the government include its head, Major General [[Aharon Yariv]], former director of Israeli intelligence, and editorial board members Brigadier General [[Aryeh Shalev]] and Minister of Defense [[Yitzhak Rabin]]. [[Walter Laqueur]] of [[CSIS]] and [[JINSA]] is also on the editorial board.'<ref>The "Terrorism" Industry: The Experts and Institutions That Shape Our View of Terror by Edward S.

| − | :The center sponsors books, monographs, and conferences on a number of subjects, with a strong emphasis on terrorism. It has provided a base for Dr. [[Ariel Merari]], one of Israel's leading analysts of terrorism and coauthor, with [[Shlomi Elad]], of 'The International Dimension of Palestinian Terrorism' (Westview, 1986). [...] The center's 1979 conference on terrorism in Tel Aviv attracted an international group, including [[Brian Jenkins]], [[J. Bowyer Bell]], [[Yonah Alexander]], and [[Robert Kupperman]] from the United States, [[Robert Moss]] and [[Paul Wilkinson]] from Great Britain, and [[Hans Joseph Horchem]] from West Germany. There was no departure in the published record of the conference from the Western format and identification of terrorists and victims. Its most interesting feature was the fact that twenty-one of the forty-six participants were state officials.<ref>Ibid.</ref>
