July 4, 1976--> Remembering Entebbe- When Leaders Stood Up To Terrorists

Yid With Lid  "On America's two hundredth birthday it was Israel who showed the world the "Spirit of 1776."
....
"Thirty-seven years ago it was a different world.  Israel stood up to terrorists and their daring raid was celebrated across the world. Today it is the terrorists who are celebrated, that is if they are mentioned at all.

"Much of the intervening years was filled with Western appeasement of terrorism.  We negotiate, we give in to their demands, we refuse to call them terrorists, we celebrate terrorists like Arafat and Abbas, we even blame terrorist acts on the victims. 

"Entebbe was the almost a final act of Western defiance, with every act of appeasement, with each acquiescence to terrorist demands, terrorism is suckling at the teat of Western lack of resolve. In the end, the west is feeding the monster that will cause its destruction."

Yonatan Netanyahu,  the Prime Minister's older brother
 and team leader was the only Israeli commando killed
 during the operation.
