major accomplishments which may be credited to the Israeli prime minister.
On the question of the settlements in Samaria and Judea. Abir indicated that he had previously had severe reservations about the Likud policy of expanding them; now. however, he was coming around to the position that they might at some future point serve as powerful bargaining chips in negotiations.
With regard to what Abir referred to as **the so-called
*Not every mtsrepre^

invasion of Lebanan.** the former rector of the Hebrew university had some scathing remarks to make about media coverage of the campaign. He cited the Washington Pos/as a major participant in the vilification of IsraeL
Abir told of a recent article which had appeared in that paper dealing with the improprieties of Israelis use of the cluster bomb in Lebanon. The story was played up prominently, especially the political implications of IsraePs **violation** of an agreement to use the weapon only in a. defehsive situation.
Shortly after the article appeared, the Post printed a retraction, admitting that the article was erroneous. '*In fact, theartide had been written by a paid propagandist for
the Arabis who is now under indictment for a series of
•felonies.*^--.-
The most odious example of press manipulation of the news. Abir laid at the door of Maclean's Magazine.
'**Duringan interview with that publication. I spoke at some length about the way in which the PLO forces had been routed by the Israeli AnAy and explored the strategic and other factors which had prompted the disintegration of Arafat"^ men.
Referring to the PLO I said that as a consequence. *Hhey werealot of nothing, now.** When the interview appeared in Maclean*s all you saw was a picture of a pathetic looking Palestinian refugee and a quotation attributed to me which said Hhpy are a lot of nothing.* /'
Abir feels that noteverymisrepriBsentation about the war emanates from the press. He notes that there has been a serious misunderstanding of the role of the Israeli public during the Lebanese fighting. While there was an almost universal apprehension about the siege of Beirut. Israeli public opinion, says Abir, was supportive of Uie two pronged move against the PLO.
When Israeli troops moved across the imaginary 40-Idloinetre boundary in pursuit of the PLO it was only the politicians who demurred; the people were with the advancing army. ,
In his assessment of the public rhydun of Israeli life, Abir observed: "What other people wouki have turned out en masse, — 10 per cent of the population, — to protest the massacre of Palestinians by Christians? This speaks volumes about the compassion and sensitivity of the Israelis.**

The Coandl was also blamed for not anttcqslmg the crisis. Other" speatos defended the Council <m the grounds that community particyation is paltiy at other than crisis times.
The consensus of the meeting was that the communiQf^ resomces must be marshalled if the crisis is to be overcome.

The real bluq>rint for Jewish education can be found in the S'Aema. Were diese few wises to be strictly observed, there would be no such thing as a genendion gap between parents and diildren. By "communicating** widi one^ children, whether at home, vdienstiolling together, coming home alniglit or starting the day, one breaks down the barriers and, at the same tune, nurtures respect, derteh eretz, for one^ elders.
