Dahl reviewed Tony Clifton’s book in 1983?
In 1983, Dahl had reviewed Tony Clifton’s ‘God Cried’, a picture book that described the
pain and suffering caused by the siege of West Beirut by the Israeli army incursion and occupation of Lebanon during the 1982 Lebanon War.
Published in the
Literary Review, Dahl said that “a race of people”, meaning the Jews, had never “switched so rapidly
from victims to barbarous murderers”, and that empathy for the Jewish people after the Holocaust had turned “into hatred and revulsion”.
America was “so utterly dominated by the great Jewish
financial institutions that they dare not defy the Israelis”.

Christmas carols can be heard in the Beirut neighborhoods of Mar Mikhael and Gemmayzeh, stricken by the explosion of the city’s port almost five months ago, as restaurant and coffee shop owners and civil society organizations attempt to give some Christmas cheer to thousands of deserted residents.
People gather daily to light candles for the victims of the explosion. Their houses are still destroyed, missing walls, windows and doors. Nylon curtains have replaced the shattered glass and do little to keep out the cold air and rain.
