Among other things, the Palestine Liberation Front was responsible for the 1979 attack on the Israeli coastal town of Nahariya, where an Israeli man and his five-year-old daughter were murdered. Abbas' branch of the P.L.F. has cultivated increasingly close military links with Arafat's Fatah organization. In 1982, Abbas moved to Tunis, where he now commands about 1,500 fighters. Abbas is a member of the executive committee of the Palestine National Council, a post he could not hold without Arafat's backing...
...happened. The hijackers, who had identified themselves as members of the P.L.F., demanded the release of the 50 prisoners being held in Israel. Among these was Sami Kuntar, a well-known terrorist who in 1979, with three others, had staged an attack on the northern Israeli town of Nahariya, killing three people. If their demands were not met, the hijackers of the Achille Lauro warned, they would blow up the ship...

In one apartment they found Einat and her father, whom they took back to the beach. Danny they shot to death, and when Israeli forces approached, one of the terrorists picked up Einat by the feet and cracked open her head on a rock...
...technically they are not children of war?not of war as it is fought in Belfast, Nahariya, Ramallah, Beirut, or in the jungles outside Phnom-Penh. There are no gun battles or street riots in Viet Nam any more. One side has won, one has lost; and the children of the losers have the choice of "re-education," hunger or the sea. The children of Viet Nam have known war, and they have also known the consequences of war. They thus offer an opportunity to pose the one question that has been hovering over all these children, which...
