Thus, Israel is guilty of barbarism! Thousands and even tens of thousands have been killed by the ad- vancing Israeli forces! Some 600,000 or 700,000 civilians have been rendered home- less or roofless! The "statistics" are at- tributed to the Interna- tional Red Cross, to defunct Lebanese authorities, to Arab news agencies, or sim- ply to "reliable authorities." Once again the "Big Lie" is at work. Israel is con- demned and denounced by the press, radio and televi- sion, and even by some well-meaning individuals who were obviously im- pressed by the sheer mag- nitude of the "Lie." What are presumed to be "facts" are extracted and used in newspaper and radio advertisements and appeals for support. Some journalists, of course, ea- gerly pounce on the story and magnify the details in the retelling, thus provid- ing the sensation after sen- sation for various commen- tators and columnists.

Even if every building and every house in southern Lebanon no longer existed or was damaged to an extent that it could not be occupied, there would not be 600,000 roofless. Observers have testified, however, that whole areas, whole villages, were untouched. Large numbers of buildings were unscathed and thousands of homes were in no way af- fected by Israel military op- erations. • In order to avoid or re- duce the number of civilian casualties, Israel took great care to urge the law-abiding population to vacate their apartments and private homes before the military entered the area. Thus, in Sidon, tens of thousands, heeding the warnings and appeals, left their homes and waited on the nearby beach until the operation was over. They have now re- turned to their homes. • After careful investi- Israel gation, the authorities have ascer- tained that in all of Lebanon southern (excluding the quarter in southwest Beirut occu- pied by the PLO) some 20,000 people are, for the time being, roofless. Re- pair work and recon- struction is already in progress, as life returns to normal. • In Tyre, Sidon, and Nabatiya where a large part of the civilian population lives, the casualties have been determined as follows: 331 killed (56 in Tyre, 265 in Sidon, 10 in Nabatiya); 1,110 wounded, of whom 200 are still hospitalized. It has been established that 1,000 terrorists died in the battles, 5,000 were taken prisoner and approx- imately 6,000 are still in southwest Beirut. • The Israel losses are 290 dead and 1,500 wounded. The nation mourns her fallen soldiers and regrets the death of every other person in this conflict. Every life is preti- ous. But what a far cry from the fabricated statistics of tens of thousands reported killed by the PLO and their agents and the 700,000 roof- less! • The Lebanese popu- lation has, according to Congressman Wilson, welcomed the Israelis like a "libertion army." Eye-witnesses report happy citizens and vil- lagers greeting the as- tonished Israelis with song and dance, with the traditional sugar- covered rice and other symbols of friendship. "Now we are safe. Now we can go home," Lebanese men and women told the U.S. Congressman. And a doctor stressed in a talk with columnists Evans and Novak that "compared to the hell we have had in Lebanon (under the PLO) the Israelis are brothers." An entirely different per- ception! The motive of the PLO in disseminating the Goebbels-type propaganda is understood. They have no case. They have no justifica- tion for the carnage they caused and, therefore, ex- pect to arouse sympathy by misrepresenting the facts. But the motive of some of the media in giving cur- rency to the "Big Lie" defies comprehension. They are, after all, equipped and able to distinguish between truth and fiction, fact and fantasy.

Scores of organizations in Bremen have protested the failure of the authorities to take Becher to court despite widespread documentation of his activities with the SS.
