Both men were released under the evacuation agreement worked out by U.S. special envoy Philip Habib. The returning POWs _thanked Begin for the gov- ernment's efforts to release them and said they had been fearful, during their imprisonment, that the ter- rorists might smuggle them out of Lebanon. Begin told Achiaz and Harush that the ter- rorists tried to get Israel to release terrorists from prisons in Israel in re turn for releasing the two Israelis. However, the premier said, "we are de- termined not to give in, and told them there would be no evacuation before you were re- A good dinner sharpens wit, while it softens the heart. —Doran leased."

To sit still in their homes And bomb shelters And let the deadly shells Rain in Without a stop And to merely accept, passively, A silent, lesser holocaust By the PLO More Jews to be killed In their own land And Not to raise a voice In protest While their loved ones, families, Are being laughtered Before Their very own eyes. This - the accepted picture - The world would want to see. What an outlook, To wait silently to their death Sitting death. Turn the other cheek — Both are already war-torn. There are no more to turn. When will this useless, Ruthless, killing stop? When the Israelis fight back To defend themselves — With powder and guns — And make forays into Territorial gangster land. To gain freedom from the shells, The UN promptly assembles A cast of hate to Quickly condemn. Everytime — All join in unison - There is enough hatred for all. To defend oneself against Repeated life-threatening actions Is a basic rule Of all the living. Yet, each time the Israelis Rise up with armor To defend their small strip of land "Eretz Yisrael," The world joins together To immediately condemn. Not one word is mentioned Of the deaths, of the terrorism, caused By the guerrillas based In Lebanon. Nor is there a word of protest Against the Syrian army Who came in on their own request To protect the Lebanese. Lord help the peaceful Lebanese From all their protective friends. The number they protected Unto their death Was in the range of 100,000 Over the seven years. Still not a voice was raised Around the world _ To help The helpless, non-military, Peace-loving peoples of Lebanon. Twice complete victory was snatched Away from Israel. More recently in the Yom Kippur War When Israel was attacked On their holiest day Of the year While they were Fasting and praying --- In their synagogues For peace And the right to live In the return to their Promised homeland. After crossing the Nile, And then completely surrounding The Egyptian army from the rear, At a fearful price of life Israel was forced to make peace — Just short of complete victory, By the world military powers — When the Egyptians were beaten, and At the mercy of the Israeli Armed forces. Apparently, victory for the Israelis Cound not be tolerated, _A full-blown no win," permanent situation, Decreed by the super powers. What manner of so called Fair-minded men and their One-sided, blind justice For the Israelis. An atrocious no win," impossible Situation. Guaranteed with the slogan: "Fear not - If you are about To be beaten by the Israelis We will step in and stop it." And so they did. What would happen if The process were reversed? It is too horrible to contemplate The holocaust, once again, On the hallowed soil of Israel. Oil - Oil - Oil - speaks out, Rather "shouts out," So very loud and extremely clear. Oh, how the mighty dollar Doth twist the minds of men. The words of oil are dark — Forboding — But the black gold Flows out across the lands And actually covers the ground Quite forcibly. The death of even one Innocent Lebanese Is a mark upon our soul. No matter - Christian or Moslem - An absolute catastrophe. In all wars civilians always Are the most injured, Their loved ones go out To meet mutilation and death While they stay home to hide, If possible, from the bombs Raining down from the sky. The Jews are helping the Christians. What a strange headline! Is this really believable? Can this be possible, After so many histories Of deathful persecutions? Although the Israelis now have Their promised land, After three thousand wandering Years, The holocaust continues As the world looks on And condemns them, Because the Israelis chose To defend their land And their mode of living Against a sworn, brutal Terrorist sneak-attacking Enemy Who has publicly proclaimed, Time and time again. In a rather large voice, "We will drive the Israelis Into the sea. "We do not recognize Israel As a state or a country." What God has given us - In His promise - the Land of Israel - They have vowed To take away - by death It shall never be! It cannot be! P.S.: When Israel is shelled and Their people killed by terrorists — The PLO — it is apparently quite Acceptable. No protest is made By the onlooking people of the world But When Israel decides to defend themselves And destroy the military power of These gangsters who have proclaimed A wish to annihilate all The Israelis, the world looks on And immediately condemns Israel. For the Israelis to defend themselves and win, is not acceptable. It is sad to see the Semitic " World into such an uproar of killing. I wonder why Justice is portrayed As having both eyes covered by a Blindfold. Elie Wiesel, writing in The Jewish News, wrote after the Six-Day War that the image of the Jew has changed. "The Jew no longer is on his knees. The victim suddenly became the victor and this the world was not prepared to accept." "A Jew triumphant over death," wrote Wiesel, "was an intolerable thought."
