...effect, the premiership was hers for the asking, but she delayed her decision until at least after Eshkol's funeral. Now 70, she is in less than robust health. "The people of Israel," editorialized the daily Ha'aretz, "have the right to expect that the helm be given to a younger person, whose power of action will not be restricted by age or health." That widely held feeling would not ultimately affect the choice. With the disciplined ranks of the labor party behind the leadership's choice, the decision, as Mrs. Meir once put it, "will...
...contractual" rather than an "imposed" solution. But they did worry that the U.S. would seek to influence Israel to vacate the conquered Arab territories. "We may find ourselves faced by political pressures of a nature never encountered during the previous administrations," warned Israel's leading daily, Ha'aretz. "We had better be prepared to withstand it." For precisely the same reason, Arab countries welcomed Washington's more active role in a region where, so far as they are concerned, the U.S. has been far too content to do nothing.

But prejudice soon gives way to perception, and recrimination to compassion...
...they conceded that the government had acted hastily, Israeli journalists hardly rallied to the side of their imprisoned colleagues. Since the creation of Israel, newsmen have taken a rigorous censorship for granted because of the ceaseless hot-and-cold war with the Arab nations. Only one paper, Ha'Aretz, which has no party affiliation, sharply criticized the government. "While the Bui publication could have hurt the interests of the state," said an editorial, "that harm is nothing compared with the harm caused Israel by the secret arrests and trial. Whoever reads the description of the affair will...
