“Well, we have the leverage in the sense that we supply all the wherewithal...or a major part of the wherewithal to finance or to pay for everything Israel does. We don't have any leverage in the sense that Israel controls the Senate. The Senate is at least...a subservient, in my opinion, much too much. We should be more concerned about the United States' interest, rather than doing the bidding of Israel. This is a most unusual development.” ShouldWellsDoeStatesInterestUnitedPayOpinionUnited StatesToo MuchDevelopmentMajorsConcernedJewIsraelFinanceUnusualSenateBiddingSubservient Author:J.

“The concept of the "information society" is both vague and all-embracing. Different participants meant different things by it. In practice, though, World Summit on the Information Society only dealt with a small number of issues: ICTs and human rights (to some extent), ICTs and development (to some extent), infrastructure finance and Internet governance. Very large aspects of what might have been included in the "information society" were not really discussed.” WorldHumansHas BeensDifferentMightNumbersPracticeIssuesRightsInformationDevelopmentInternetConceptsAspectHuman RightsFinanceDifferent ThingsVagueMight Have BeenInfrastructureGovernanceSummitParticipantsSmall NumbersInformation SocietyIct Author:David Souter
