Project Yoni

Having watched the PLO propaganda pieces “Little Town of Bethlehem” and “With God on Our Side” (which, by the way, one Christian Palestinianist privately told me he no longer recommends because of its one-sided nature—thank you at least for that admission), I have often thought that Israel needs its own presentation of narrative.

If the Palestinians are making hay with their gauzy, David Lean-type narrative…why can’t the Israelis tell their true story in much more dramatic fashion?

Well, they can, as it turns out.

I’ve written before about the modern Israeli/Israelite warrior-legend Jonathan Netanyahu. The oldest brother of the current prime minister, “Yoni” served for 13 years in the IDF, rising to the rank of lieutenant colonel.

He planned the assault of Entebbe Airport, in remote Uganda, in the summer of 1976, as head of the elite counter-terrorism unit, Sayeret Matkal.

But he didn’t have to lead it. At his rank, Yoni could have sat back in Israel, or at best kept abreast of the operation from a command center near one of the rescue planes.

Yet there he was, literally out front of his men, urging them on, when a bullet struck him in the chest, just after midnight, July 4, 1976.

The raid itself was a colossal success, with almost all the 105 hostages rescued and taken back to safety in Israel. The strike force lost only one member (after Rabin’s cabinet calculated they would take 20 percent casualties, or around 40 troops):

Jonathan Netanyahu.

There were films, such as the one starring Charles Bronson. There were books, including my all-time favorite, Entebbe, written by the youngest Netanyahu brother, Iddo.

Audiences have been overwhelmed by the film’s power. With interviews of such subjects as Yoni’s wife, the remaining brothers, his father, and, perhaps most compelling, the men who went with him to Entebbe…well, I can tell you from personal experience that “Follow Me” is a game-changer.

Aside from presenting Jews and Israelis as moral and noble, the film also captures the heart and essence of a warrior who very much seems to be carried along by the mists and winds of history. That Yoni felt a kinship with Joshua and his mates there can be no doubt.

What kind of man would plan and execute an acutely dangerous rescue mission, then put himself at the tip of the spear?

I’ve spoken with two of those commandos, and the years have not dimmed their memories of that night, nor their affection for their fallen leader.

Now there is a film that tells the story of that remarkable night. It also tells Yoni’s story.

Well there’s more, this past month the Israeli Consulate General’s Office have reached out to the producers of the film and my good friend Thomas Sharp of Balfour Books & the Balfour Post for a nationwide push to screen the film in churches. We need your help!

If you would like to participate in the Project Yoni campaign and book a screening in your church or community venue; please email me at the email below. You won’t be sorry.

In fact, you’ll be thrilled.
