Jan 20 1998 Ariga is pleased to announce a new peace site Yehoshua Zamir's "Survival is Not Enough" a collection of essays by Yehoshua Zamir, including his correspondence with the late prime minister Menachem Begin and Ariel Sharon, concerning the Lebanon War -- and the future of Israel. Zamir's son Yaron was killed at the Beaufort Castle on the first day of that awful war, and what began as a letter to Menachem Begin turned into a stunningly articulate collection of writings not only about a father's despair and anger over the loss of his son, but an important statement about the direction Israel took in the Lebanon War and since. Highly Recommended! In the meanwhile, the link takes you to Survival is Not Enough at The English Server, which is a cooperative which has been publishing humanities texts online since 1990. But we expect to mirror the entire site at Ariga.
