...bomb in a Tel Aviv bus depot, an explosion in a Jerusalem marketplace, the shoot-up of an airliner in Athens, raids, raids and more raids on villages, continued vilification and threats-all these and other incidents apparently make the world more interesting. The U.S. State Department ignores these offenses, or at most sounds a mild "tut-tut." The U.N. does the same. However, an Israeli reprisal, designed to tone down the level of warlike activity on the part of the Arabs, generates storms of protest.

...their mines last March, 28 children were wounded and two adults killed. In August, the guerrillas managed to terrorize the population of Jerusalem and in the bargain set off an anti-Arab riot by a series of grenade attacks. In September, they struck for the first time at Tel Aviv, where a commando bomb in a wastebasket outside the bus station killed one Israeli and wounded another...
