TERRORISTS: After Entebbe: Showdown in New York
After the Israeli commandos’ daring rescue of the skyjacking hostages, the Entebbe drama shifted late last week to the United Nations in New York. An African demand for Security Council condemnation of Israel for “aggression” against Uganda in the airport raid had promised one of the most stirring U.N. showdowns in years, and there was every sign that that promise would be fulfilled. The Council chamber was packed with diplomats, newsmen and spectators late last week when Uganda’s Foreign Minister Juma Oris Abdalla rose to open the debate, which he did with a lengthy indictment of Jerusalem for “barbarism and banditry” coupled with a demand for full compensation for the damages Uganda suffered in the attack.
A few days ago someone posted an article about bias in Time Magazine. One commenter wrote that he remembered what Time wrote in 1976. I thought in was a typo, meaning 1972. It probably was a typo. And then the question occurred to me, did something happen in 1976?
Oh yeah. And this is one of Time’s articles covering the matter. Amazing how little has changed since 1976 regarding the issue of terrorism.
