What spared them? We walked the streets and queried the people. The answers were simple and unanimous. When the PLO , invaders first came here, the local population made them feel unwelcome, and as a result -the terrorists never estab- lished themselves in depth. At first news of the Israeli invasion, the PLO simply ran away. There was no fighting here, no sniping against the Israelis, and hence no damage. By contrast, this ex- plains what happened in other places where the PLO dug in, fortified homes which they had commandeered, and compelled battle on civi- lian premises. It has become almost em- barrassing —to have the Lebanese thank us, the Is- raelis, for liberating them from the terrorist occupa- tion, and we seek to avoid the subject in our conversa- tions. Instead, we tried a new tack. A group of young men gathered around us and we directed a controv- ersial question att them, through our interpreter. "Beirut is under siege. What should Israel do about the PLO there?" The answer was almost identical from each: "Get them out — kill them — finish them off." "But to do so will mean large civilian casualties — your own Lebanese who are being used as hostages. What about them?" •_ There was some -hesita- tion, but the consensus was that Israel should once and for all stamp out the terror. "Even at the cost of many Lebanese civilian lives?" we pressed. There was silence, and then one man spoke up: "You Israelis, somehow, you can do a miracle!" It was a point of view we were to hear again and again. These are stories the visiting jour- nalists did not get. They saw the hundreds and hundreds of wrecked automobiles which line all the highways of the country and photographed them and described them as lurid evi- dence of the enormous dam- age wrought by the Israeli forces. If they had investi- gated their "evidence" they would have found that a considerable number of the hulks had been there for years, victims of the long- standing civil war, as evi- denced by the bad state of rust. An additional large number were simply obso- lete, abandoned vehicles, which for lack of a junkyard, had been abandoned by their owners. The explana- tions would have detracted from the news value of the pictures, and so the horror stories continued. We are reminded of a parallel situation in the early history of Israel. Dur- ing the siege of Jerusalem in 1948 a number of Israel armored cars which sought ,to.break the Arab blockade, and_ bring supplies to the city, were hit and-destroyed. It was decided later to leave these wrecks by the side of the road, in tribute to the brave men who lost their lives. A couple of years later a visiting American Con- gressman being driven to Jerusalem through the Shaar HaGai cleft, made careful, note of the rust- ing hulks.When he-got back to Washington he wrote a scathing report in criticism of U.S. aid to Israel, remarking that he had personally seen dis- used, broken-down ag- ricultural and other oquipment, provided by America, neglected and left to rust by the side of the road! Life in southern Lebanon has quickly been returning to normal. Colorful beach umbrellas have returned to the seaside resorts which line the coast, and Lebanese may be seen enjoying the sun and surf. War or no war, a people must keep clean, and the omni-present clothes lines, with their dis- plays of white and colored pieces waving and drying in the wind, present the best evidence of normalcy.
