Sama's father said it
would be a problem to find a
Jewish bride for his son.
Sama insisted he would like
to marry an Israeli girl. If he
could find a suitable and
pretty girl he would even be
ready to settle in Israel.
Once there will be peace be-
tween Israel and Lebanon it
would be no problem to
travel between the two
countries.

noticed a man, his wife and
their children standing
nearby and listening to the
Jewish Phlangist's story. As
it turned out, they were a
Lebanese Jewish family.
The father, a textile ex-
porter told the soldiers
that his son will have his
Bar Mitzva within two
weeks. There are also
other Jewish families
and a synagogue in
Bahamdoun, but his
son's Bar Mitzva Will be
celebrated at the Western
Wall in Jerusalem. The
entire family will go to
Jerusalem for this occa-
sion.
Sama told us that in his
soldier's book his national-
ity is registered as Israeli.
In the eyes of the Lebanese
Christians, every Jew is an
Israeli. Sama tried to ex- s.
plain the difference, but
without success.
