It was learned last week that a suggestion had come from an unexpected source: the Israelis. In an interview with the Israeli newspaper Ma'ariv, Prime Yitzhak Shamir revealed that offered to let Iraq pump its oil through long-unused pipeline, built in the 1930s, stretches from Baghdad to the Israeli port of Haifa.

For the Jerusalem Post, this year's Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year) would be remembered as "the Rosh Hashanah of shame," for "we have all been made accomplices to the horrible massacre in West Beirut." The conservative Ma'ariv observed: "By our presence [in West Beirut] we have become indirectly responsible for the awful pogrom committed there." As the left-wing Al Hamishmar saw it, "This slaughter has made the war in Lebanon the greatest disaster to befall the Jewish people since the Holocaust...
