...attack on Iraqi documents. Following the September raid by Iran on the Tammuz reactor, Iraq issued a statement that Begin read from a Baghdad newspaper. Quoted Begin: "The Iranian people should not fear the Iraqi nuclear reactor, which is not intended to be used against Iran, but against the Zionist enemy." He added that the imminent start-up of the reactor would enable Iraq to begin manufacturing, "in the near future, between three and five Hiroshima-type nuclear bombs of 20 kilotons...
...left" whose liberal partisans prefer to castigate friendly "authoritarian" regimes like Argentina's rather than hostile "totalitarian" governments like the Soviet Union's.

Ideas were replaced by the license to kill for them. Timerman was a Zionist, a social democrat, a moderate-and altogether too intimate with key figures on all sides of the Argentine vortex. His privileged position could not last. In April 1977, one year after the military took power in a coup, he was kidnaped by members of the ultraright Argentine First Army Corps...
...most Israelis, the crime statistics are less troubling symptoms of social malaise than the emigration figures, which seem to fly in the face of Israel's very purpose. Deputy Prime Minister Simcha Ehrlich somewhat hyperbolically described emigration last December as "the most important national problem." The Zionist goal of "ingathering of the exiles" was for decades complemented by the exiles' dream of aliya -"going up" to the homeland. The opposite phenomenon of yerida - "going down" to the outside
