...applaud the 1970 hijackings by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the 1972 Munich incident, or the recent Fatah terrorist action, but one must try to understand what harsh realities have motivated some PLO groups to take such a course. Thirty years of refugee life and four fruitless wars have made the Palestinians feel they must cry out louder with more audible means to make their cause heard, and to exert pressure that will guarantee that any future-settlement will consider the Palestinian population as a primary factor to reckon with...
