...Israel are sorely tried. Last week, 19 years after the Diaspora dream of return to Zion became a reality in the first Jewish state in almost 2,000 years, Levi Eshkol and his people found themselves besieged and threatened as few nations have ever been in their history. Tiny, dagger-shaped Israel, whose 2,700,000 people cling to 7,993 sq. mi. on the shores of the eastern Mediterranean, faced the implacable hostility and cocked guns of 14 Arab nations and their 110 million people.

We're tipped off at the beginning of the picture when Lerner's and the camera's preoccupation is with the ring and the dagger, rather than with the body, which is scarcely examined and then only for a second's slap across the cheeks to be sure it's really dead. In the film's most immediately powerful sequence, he spells out his self-disgust by carving "FOOL" in his forearm with a razorblade...
