...people of Israel are proud of this phenomenon, and the government is continually cultivating this no-man-is-an-island attitude. A short documentary on life on a Kibbutz was making the rounds in Tel Aviv during the summer. As documentaries go, this one was exciting. The early scenes of mine detection in plowed fields and men going to work with rifles at their sides led to the expectation that something momentous was about to happen. The terrorist attack by night ensured that the expectation was fulfilled. The purpose of the film, according to a young Israeli...
...early June, the kibbutz youth of the country gathered for a two-day conclave at the base of what used to be the Syrian Heights but is now called the Golan Heights. All young kibbtuzniks belong to a national movement of kibbutz youth, which holds four meetings a year to discuss the goals of their mode of living.

Four men were killed, including the 53-year-old founder of the kibbutz, and four others wounded. Three hours later, the Israeli army opened up with light machine-gun fire on the Jordanian side of the valley. The Jordanians fired back, and the battle was on. Israeli artillery pounded an evacuated village, and Jordanian 155-mm. Long Toms zeroed in on seven kibbutzim...
