`Disturbed' Israelis Place Faith in Future
(Continued from Page 1)
leading personalities here who
strongly oppose a return to the
status quo ante in the Gaza strip
as dangerous for Israel and the
- peace of the entire area. They
advocate the creation of an ef-
fective- UN force that should
serve as a buffer between
Egypt and Israel, thereby guar-
anteeing the prevention of fur-
ther attacks upon Israel from
fedayeen terrorists.
The amazing factor in Israeli
quarters is the faith with which
the young state's representa-
tives look to the future. They
are, of course, disturbed. They
are uneasy about happenings in
the secret chambers of the UN
and the foreign embassies, as
well as the U. S. State Depart-
ment. But they have confidence
in their own people—that they
won't abandon the fight for
justice, that they won't yield to
terrorists, that they will hold
on to their State—which they
view as Jewry's last citadel for
freedom—with dignity and with
a determined will to survive as-
saults from all quarters and
eventually to win the peace. -
A remarkable quality evident
among Israelis is their restraint.
A typical example of irritation
was in evidence this week in
the publication, six weeks after
it was written, of a report by
an American army officer, es-
tablishing that the Israelis had

stabilized life in the Gaza area.
Lt. Col. Knute K. Nelson, of
the Ti. S. Army, had traveled
unhampered through Gaza, in-
terviewing residents and gather-
ing views on conditions there.
In his report he pointed out:
"The Israeli authorities have
methodically established a pro-
gram,to stabilize life in the Gaza
Area. They are progressively
executing that program. They
have established law and order,
and have dealt with any upris-
ing of lootings in a strong man-
ner.
Col. Nelson's report was is-
sued Dec. 3, but was held up
fOr release at the UN by Dag
Hammarskjold until Jan. 14.
The question posed here is:
"Why a delay in publicizing
statements favorable to Israel
while antagonism to the Jewish
state receives prompt notori-
ety?"
But the Israelis, struggling
for their infant nation's life, are
exercising reserve and patience
in the hope that fair play will
not be trampled in the dust too
long.
In the meantime, Congres-
sional hearings on the Eisen-
hower Doctrine reveal that
anti-Semites are striving to in-
ject their hate-inspiring pro-
ram into American life via the
Israeli crisis. The notorious
anti-Semite Merwin K. Hart ap-
peared before the House Foreign
Affairs Committee Tuesday to
blame Israel for all the Middle
East problems and to urge
denial of all U. S., assistance to
Israel. He went so far as to ask

JERUSALEM, (J T A)
Lessing Rosenwald,
founder and honorary president of the American
Council for Judaism, arrived here Jan. 13 and met
with Premier David Ben-Gurion prior to the start
of a week-long tour of the country.
Dorothy Thompson, who is known for her anti-
Israel activities in the United. States, is expected to
arrive here next month.
Mr. Rosenwald came to Israel with Mrs. Rosen-
wald on an indirect invitation froth Premier Ben-
Gurion after the latter told a mutual acquaintance
that. the leader of the anti-Zionist American Council
for Judaism should see Israel before criticizing it.
Israel government circles hope that the visit will
show Mr. Rosenwald the positive aspects of the Jew-
ish State. "
Rosenwald, who disclaims being anti-Iirael, insists
he is "only opposed" to political Zionism. He and
Mrs. Rosenwald were guests of Prof. Benjamin Mazar,
president of Hebrew University, and later left on 'a
tour of Tel Aviv and Haifa.

Cong. Hays of Ohio called
Hart's remarks "anti-Semitic."
Rep. Marguerite Church of Illi-
nois expressed astonishment
over his "violent anti-Israel
feelings," and Cong. Fulton of
Pennsylvania ask e d: "God
wants those people to be in
Israel and why don't you?"
Cong. O'Hara of Illinois ques-
tioned Hart and asked him
whether he had any income
from other than anti-Semitic
sources.
One of the major issues re-
lating to the current Israeli
crisis is the status of Egyptian
Jewry. A number of members
of both houses of Congress
would. like to see the liberal-
ized McCarran-Walter Immi-
gration Act applied to the
Egyptian Jews so that a num-
ber of them may be admitted
-to this country, but it is gen-
erally admitted that Israel is
their only haven.
On Wednesday, Philip M.
Klutznick, president of Bnai
Brith, made public facts reveal-
ing that more than a year ago
Egypt's dictator Nasser had in-
stituted a systematic -anti-Se-
mitic campaign against Egyp-
tian Jews. Nasser's plans called
for the introduction of Gestapo
methods, creation of , concentra-
tion camps, seizure of Jewish
property and bank accounts and
mass imprisonment of Jews.
The source of these revela-
tions was called most "reliable,"
but is kept secret for "personal
security" reasons.
