Behind the Middle East bloodshed. This report, is not a history of the terrorism says writer-producer Howard Stringer, but "a look at who the Palestinian Guerillas are and what they stand for; how much they and other Palestinians have in common, and whether a peace settlement can be developed in the area." Where peace looks bleakest is among Palestinian commandos in Lebanon, filmed rehearsing a raid across the Israeli border.(Two months later, says Stringer, this rehearsal came to resemble the attack by a splinter group on the schoolhouse in Ma'alot). What sustains the Guerillas, Stringer believes, "is not military strength but popular sympathy," a mood reflected among refugees as well as wealthy and middle-class Palestinians. Their common dream: to rebuild a homeland out of Israeli-held territory. Bill McLaughlin reports.
