FRONT 1NE

Nobody shoots at us . . .

There is no barbed wire coiled and glinting in our streets.

We sleep without the abrupt staccato of a Sten gun shattering the night's

stillness.

Our busses are not armored, and we can travel from Detroit to Chicago

or to Cleveland, without death lurking behind every tree.

But we are in thefrontline .

As sure as those boys in the Hebron Hills, or in the Negev, standing guard

by night or picking off snipers .. .

We are- in the frontline . .

And we don't dare forget it, even now that there is a four-week truce.

Five, six•thousand miles away from the bullets in Jerusalem, in Tel Aviv.

from the lonely boy with his rifle under the pale moon ..

Yes, but we are in it together . . .

They are counting on us, the young boys who need the equipment, the

wounded who need the penicillin, the settlements which need the

trucks, the fuel, the concrete, the tools of defense, the newcomers

who need help and rehabilitation . . .

The whole building, fighting, frontline Yishuv is counting on us.

Sure, we carry newspapers to work instead of grenades.

Sure, • we never feel the sickening thud of a bullet.

•

But we've got a frontline, and we can't desert or go AWOL for a minute.

for it's the one and only way we can fight and build side by side

with them.

We've got a frontline .... to help in Israel, in Europe, and here at home.
