Palestinians Are Braver
My own impression, from my
cell, is more depressing than that
of the Palestinians who seem to
be exhilirated by the crisis. I
witnessed attacks of terror last
year, but when I arrived this
time and was jailed I read how a
chap I knew, named Robert
Stern, who wrote for the Pales-
tine Post, was shot dead while
walking 200 yards to his home
from his office. I felt cold.
Then I read an item about an
'attack on the Negev colony of
Revivim, the founding of which
I helped to film last year for "My
Father's House." Three of the,
boys taking part have been
killed.
The Palestinians are braver
than I. They say that naturally
they must expect final blood
payments, but at last the Jews
would have their own country.
