Yoni's Last battleBy James Oliver BurnsI first became interested in the story of Yoni, when I accidentally came across a copy of the Book entitled "The letters of Yoni". When I came across the book and read the subject matter, I remembered the story of the raid on Entebbe and the hijacking of the French airliner by German and Arab terrorists. I didn't read the book until I found out that we were on our way to Israel, while I was stationed aboard the USS Nimitz CVN 68, While in Israel, it was then when I realized, how different life in Israel was from the United States. I observed Israeli soldiers in and out at uniform carrying their weapons. While we were there PLO terrorists had planted a bomb on a bus and killed most of the Israelis that were on the bus. It then hit me how dangerous it was to live in Israel, surrounded On all sides by Arab nations, Who wanted to do nothing else, but to annihilate The nation of Israel and it's people.

The flow of people reminded Cojot of an Oriental bazaar as it ‘tried to make a path among the baggage carts, the pillars, and the barriers under the watchful eyes of young women in khaki and young soldiers… the only persons there who were not bustling about’. A spate of recent terrorist attacks against Israel–including the infamous massacre of twenty-six people, most of them Christian pilgrims from Puerto Rico, by three pro-Palestinian members of the militant communist Japanese Red Army at Ben-Gurion four years earlier–had left the country with the tightest airport security in the world.
