To my mind , though , Jewish toughness of the sort that was in evidence in Entebbe , Uganda , 22 years ago , when armed Jews flew thousands of miles to rescue Jewish innocents from death , was one of the great moments in post-Holocaust Jewish history--a statement to the world that Jews will no longer sit idly by and watch themselves being oppressed .
Jewish toughness 22 years ago signaled to the world that Jews will rise up against injustice .
