Premier Menachem Begin defended Hammer's decision, but Author Smilansky was irate. "I didn't write this story as a conflict between Jews and Arabs," he insisted. "I wrote this as a man who was hurt by what he saw. This story is about Israel, it's about Viet Nam, it's about any place where someone is suddenly caught in war.
