Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

[Zeev Hed]

On July 4th 1976, while we were celebrating our bicentennial, a rescue mission was mounted by the IDF. Three days earlier, terrorists highjacked a French airline and landed in Entebe (Ghana) and the Jewish (including American having "Jewish names") passengers were held hostage by Arafat and his gang. Joni Netanyahu (Bibi' netanyahu's brother and uncle of Ben Artzi) led the rescue mission and died in the battle. A collection of his various letters to family and friends was published few years ago, it gives an insight into the moral backbone of the run of the mill Israeli soldier. One should read these letters if for nothing else than their humane content.
