Israel's iron fist policy deals a damaging blow to peace hopes
Context added by this archive
Iron fist printed flat, in a paper’s own headline voice, with no quotation marks around it: by June 1988 the phrase had stopped being something Israel called its policy and become what the policy was called. The Herald Sun in January had kept the marks (CP-1988-005). What the headline measures the policy against is peace hopes, not the people it was applied to.
