483.0. "Former DEC contract worker stabbed" by GRECO::FRYDMAN (wherever you go...you're there) Mon Jun 27 1988 14:46

    Last Friday (6/24/88) a former Boston resident who made Aliya four
    years ago was stabbed in the back while in the marketplace in Hebron.

    Yona Chaiken, who was a Digital contract programmer during his last
    few years in Boston, is reported to be in serious, yet stable,
    condition.  
    
    He and his wife and six children lived in Hebron for the past 
    3 1/2 years in order that there would be a Jewish presence in the
    place where the Patriarchs and Matriarchs are buried.

    I have gotten word (over the BITNET from friends of mine in Israel) that
    Yonah is doing well and is expected to be back in his home by Shabbos.

    Not only doing well, but also managed to hurt his attacker, which
    caused the whole gang to be exposed..

Is he the one I saw on TV (while being carried away on stretcher) accusing the
USA of being the reason for the current unrest and that "more tough measures
will be taken" to crush the intifadah?

If my identification is correct, I would like to ask whether anyone here can
answer two questions:

1. Why blame the US for something that even the IDF says was local? In fact
   the Israeli govt has been going around saying that the entire thing was local
   and that the PLO had nothing to do with it. SO why blame the US?

2. What "more tough measures" does he envision? Live shots have been fired,
   over 150 Palestinians killed, several arrested (>2000 or is it >6000),
   several deported, several homes blown up just because of allegations,
   even before any investigation, orchards bulldozed, all publications closed,
   new passes issued, a leader assasinated (well, not officially!). So what
   are the "more tough measures"?

    I also heard those statements; however, I'm not certain that I can
    explain something said by someone who was medicated, in semi-shock,and
    to say the least, upset.
