Nearly five hours later they stagger out into the dawn's hazy light, exhausted and exhilarated. In midafternoon, Menahem Golan, the Israeli producer who now heads his own distribution company, sits on a teeming Carlton terrace flanked by Stalin-era-size posters of his stars: Faye Dunaway, Robert Mitchum, Brooke Shields, Lou Ferrigno.

On the Golan Heights, there was rifle fire as soldiers wounded four Druze Arabs who were demonstrating against the Israeli annexation of the region in December. In northern Galilee, thousands of Arab residents of Israel marched to commemorate Land Day, an annual protest against the Israeli practice of confiscating Arab property in order...
