Later in the evening, it was Israel's Ambassador Chaim Herzog's turn, and as he rose to speak, the chamber fell deathly silent. Israel would not consider itself on the defensive in the debate, Herzog began. "I am in no way sitting in the dock as the accused party," he said. Instead, he continued, "I stand here as an accuser [of] this rotten, corrupt, brutal, cynical, bloodthirsty monster of international terrorism and all those who support it in one way or the other, whether by commission or omission." The nations that should be on trial, he said...
...Herzog's tough and moving address set the tone of the arguments that the U.S. and other delegations would be making as the debate continued this week: that charges of Israeli aggression against Uganda, which actively aided the skyjackers, were preposterous, that the real issue facing the U.N. was what to do about international terrorism...

They have already legitimized the P.L.O. and branded Israel as an outcast, and they are causing erosion of the U.S. position." Herzog is now under orders to answer every charge instead of merely boycotting sessions where the P.L.O. appears. Israel is concerned that the U.S., having vetoed two previous anti-Israel Security Council resolutions, is becoming so exposed diplomatically as Jerusalem's only friend that Americans may soon question the wisdom...
