...weak rationalization for their unconscionable acts of terrorism by comparing them to Deir Yassin, a unique, atypical, and unauthorized 1948 military operation that was roundly condemned by the Jewish leadership. Throughout Israel's history, the few individual soldiers who have taken upon themselves to attack Arab civilians have been court martialed and imprisoned by the Israeli government. Compare this Zionist position to the praise of PLO, Syrian, and Saudi Arabian spokesmen for the recent PLO terrorist rampage on the Israeli coast, and to the cavalier attitude toward Palestinian lives which is symbolized by the PLO's placement of terrorist military...
Nine Lahoud's article on the Palestinian problem (May 16) is rife with distortion and clouding of crucial distinctions. Lahoud joins the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) in denying the right of Jews to national self-determination when she quotes an Arab spokesman's specious distinction between Jews and Zionists--a distinction denied by all three major American Jewish denominations...
...cannot doubt that Palestinian terrorism has taken many Israeli lives, but one must also realize the desperateness of the Palestinians. After 30 years, it has become evident to the Palestinians that the Arab states as well as the international community will settle for peace at the cost of the Palestinian cause.

Resolutions 3236, 3237, 3376, 3375, 3379 of 1974-76); actions by the Arab League subordinating the Palestinian cause...

The same military and psychological tolls that Feldstein describes as being suffered by kibbutzniks have also been endured on the Arab side where Palestinian refugees and southern Lebanese villages have instead been the victims. Similarly, the same sort of defensive psychological mechanisms have enabled the courageous, homeless Palestinians and war-stricken Lebanese to withstand such perpetual agony. Just as Iraelis try to forget the danger by placing their fate...
...been much more substantive (in addition to reflecting a more responsible news coverage policy by The Crimson) if instead of devoting an entire page to Feldstein, it would have sufficed to have included a shorter passage revealing such an emotionally-colored perspective on the psychological traumas suffered by kibbutzniks. Arab Information Center Director Hatem Husseini elaborates on the point that the media is a culprit to perpetuating slanted perspectives on the subject...
