Special to the lei-. ish News
T
wenty-five years ago this
week, the world was riveted
by a drama that began in
the eastern Mediterranean
with the hijacking of an Air France
jet. It culminated seven days later. on
July 4, 1976, with the spectacular, res-
cue by the Israel Defense Force in
Uganda.
The best summary on the Internet
of the events leading up to the raid
and its successful completion was writ-
ten by Maj. (Res.) Louis Williams, a
senior press officer for the Israel
Defense Force. It is at www.idf.il/eng-
lish/history/entebbel.stm.
Williams' Entebbe Diary follows in
great detail the flight of Air France 139
as it took off from Ben-Gurion Airport
on June 27 "on what promised to be a
routine flight to Paris via Athei...."
Four terrorisrc boarded in Greece
and hijacked the plane to Entebbe. In
exchange for the more than 100 Israeli
and Jewish passengers, they demanded
the release of terrorists being held in
Israel, France, Germany, Switzerland
and Kenya.
One of the names most closely
linked to the raid on Entebbe is
Jonathan Netanyahu. Born in the
United States and-educated in both
Israel and the U.S., "Yoni" was a vet-
eran on the Six-Day War. Netanyahu
led the storming party to free the
hostages at Entebbe and was the lone
Israeli casualty. From his early teens,
Netanyahu wrote letters to relatives
and friends, which were collected and
published after the raid.
Self. Portrait of a Hero has just been
republished to mark the raid's 25th
anniversary. The Boston Globe wrote:
"Yoni's unpretentious accoun • of his
accomplishments, simply written and
thus the more grand, make him the
convincing hero he was and make us
wish that more like him were among
us."www.jpost.com/Editions/2001/05
/03/Books/Books.25560.html
On the fateful day of the hostages'
liberation, Prime Minister Yitzhak
Rabin addressed the Knesset:
"The operation that rescued our
dear ones from captivity will be a sub-
ject for research, for song and for leg-
end, and it will be written about in
the annals of the nation." You can
read Rabin's entire address online at
www.usisrael.org/jsource/Terrorism/
entebbel.htrnl.
I was interested to read what
impact the raid on Entebbe had on
the people of Uganda. Ugandan polit-
ical commentator Charles Onyango-
Obbo says that before the raid Idi
Amin had established a powerful army
that terrorized his people. But the raid
"shattered his aura of invincibility.
Nothing Amin did after that could
rebuild his grip on the country."

A story as powerful as Entebbe's has
proven irresistible to filmmakers. The
Internet Movie Database
www.imdb.com lists four Entebbe-
based productions, including Victory
at Entebbe (1976) with Theodore
Bikel, Kirk Douglas and Elizabeth
Taylor, Raid on Entebbe (1977) with
Martin Balsam, Charles Bronson and
Peter Finch and Operation
Thunderbolt: Entebbe (2000). But
according to reviewer Leonard Maltin,
the version you should watch is
Mivtza Yonatan (1977). "The stamp of
official Israeli approval given this film,
along with government cooperation,
and dedicated performances by a basi-
cally Israeli cast has this one outshine
both star-laden American-made
dramatizations.-
