during the Lebanese civil war of 1975 through 76 A Palestinian peasant woman of my acquaintance was continent tragedy. Her cousin disappeared. It was assumed to be kidnapped by one of many of the armed groups fighting in the city of Beirut. The entire extended family searched in vain for him or his body. He was the only son of his widowed mother and was not a member of any paramilitary group. In desperation, the family sent a delegation of three peasant women to the political military leader of the leftist forces in the area where he had disappeared. The man they went to see was an internationally known powerful military and political figure. These three women shouted their way into an audience with him, and once they're flung a torrent of hard words in his face. The entire scene was vividly described to me by my peasant friend. The following day, I specifically asked what would have happened if the men of your family had said such things to this man. With the eyebrows raised and a shake of the head, she answered, Oh, they would have been killed at once.
