7 Arabs Arrested
as Israel Police
Smash Spy Ring

TEL AVIV (JTA) — Police
disclosed that the cooperation
of an elderly Haifa Jew, serv-
ing as an undercover agent
for Israel Security Forces,
made possible the smashing of
an espionage ring in northern
Israel.
The Haifa Jew was ap-
proached by an Israel Arab
who asked for information.
The Jew informed the Haifa
police, who relayed the report
to the Security Forces. The
latter, in turn, asked the Haifa
Jew to maintain contact. The
Security Forces supplied him
with "information" which he
passed on to the Arab, who
was then immediately arrested.
The Arab confessed, and told
of contact with a Syrian in-
filtrator who visited his home.
An ambush was set at the
Arab's home, and the Syrian
was arrested. The latter was
armed with a submachine gun
and a hand grenade. An in-
vestigation led to the arrest - of
six more Arabs, on charges of
passing information to the
Syrian. All names have been
withheld by the authorities.

chosen the Jews as a special
instrument to bring all men to
redemption. Cohen states that
his choice was religious, even
though his first inclination was

warns American Jews against
the dangers of ignoring the
ancient fundamentals of their
religion.
"In the United States today,
it is at last possible to choose
not to be a Jew," says Cohen.
The irresistable forces of his-
tory no longer compel the Jew
to choose Judaism. Since mass
migrations of Jews from Eu-
rope have ended, the children
of the second and third genera-
tions are not tied to the ghetto
world of their parents, he
claims.
