Oriana Fallaci, 77

Rotne/JTA — Crusading Italian

journalist Oriana Fallaci was a
heroine to Jews for her vocal defense
of Israel and denunciations of anti-
Semitism. Fallaci, 77, who lived in
New York and her native Florence,
died Sept. 15, 2006, of cancer.
She became famous three decades
ago with incisive interviews of
Henry Kissinger, Yasser Arafat,
Golda Meir and Ayatollah Khomeini.
But the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001,
marked a watershed.
Islam, she wrote in her last book,
The Force of Reason, "sows hatred
in place of love and slavery in place
of freedom."
One of her most famous essays
was a blistering attack on anti-
Semitism published in 2002.
Repeating over and over the asser-
tion "I find it shameful;' Fallaci
unleashed a brutal indictment of
Italy, the Catholic church, the left
wing, the media, politically correct
pacifists and Europeans in general
for abandoning Israel and fomenting
a new wave of anti-Semitism linked
to the Mideast crisis.
"I stand with Israel, I stand with
the Jews:' she wrote. "I defend their
right to exist, to defend themselves
and not to allow themselves to be
exterminated a second time!'
