As former Chief of Staff Haim Bar-Lev, speaking for the opposition Labor Party, tried to open a discussion on the war, he was noisily interrupted by two members of the Democratic Front, the Israeli Communist Party. Shouted one: "At this very moment, women and children are being murdered in Beirut." Added the other: "Stop the murder! Stop the bombing!"

"Ideally, of course, we'd like to be free and independent of everybody," shrugs Haim Marantz, 40, a philosophy lecturer at Beersheba's Ben-Gurion University, "but we're not that much worse off than England or Italy in this respect."
