Dr. Sachar, Megdell Bring Reports on Israel to Flint Community Council Dinner Meeting The cost of occupation runs high, Israel is learning, but she will not give up her "burden" un- til she wins a peace treaty with the Arabs, Dr. Howard M. Sachar told more than 300 persons attend- ing the annual dinner meeting of the Flint Jewish Community Coun- cil at Temple Beth EL Dr. Sachar, American historian and author, has spent many years studying the young country and was there during part of the Six- Day War. He called that war a military victory but "an economic setback for the country." He said that the cost of the war must be measured not in weapons alone but in the cost of maintaining the territory she won — its millions of refugees and huge areas of unproductive land. "All sources of income are gone," he said, "and this places immense social burdens on both the Israelis and the Arabs." Dr. Sachar, professor of mod- ern European and Near Eastern history at George Washington University, is also visiting pro- fessor on Near Eastern affairs at the National War College in Washington, D.C. Some 40 or 50 major collective settlements are in the planning stages for the Syrian Golan Heights, said Dr. Sachar, who added that the Israelis will not return the Jordan valley area, on the other hand, a demobilized Sinai Peninsula would probably be returned. Dr. Sachar predicted that Israel is "on the threshold of a new epoch In the Middle East." The Israelis were left "almost in a state of shock" by the "ava- lanche of generosity" from Amer- ican Jews, said Dr. Sachar. While he was there, this genuine res- ponse "made front-page news every day in every newspaper during the war." The council's president, Joseph Megdell, also directed his com- ments toward the situation in Is- rael, where he participated in a United Jewish Appeal study mis- sion. The emergency situation in Is- rael, he said, goes beyond all local needs of the Jewish commun- ity. Although the mission met with Israel's leadership, the "average man in the street lived through these tension-filled times" also had much; to say. "In Israel, every man, woman and child is involved, and with the exception of the very old, the very young and the sick, each one has a task to perform." He told the audience that 'we promised the Israeli leaders and national UJA leaders that they can count on the men and women of the Jewish community in Flint. We will not let them down." He announced that Gilbert Y. Rubenstein and Michael A. Pela- vin will be co-chairmen of the 1968 UJA drive and said that at least 25 per cent more than ever before must be raised. Jewish Community Council Ex- ecutive Director Irving L. Geisser, in his annual report, also reflected on the response to the Middle East War: "I am convinced that we are not, nor perhaps can ever be again, the same American Jew- ish community we were only a few short months ago. History beckoned, and we rose greatly in stature, in devotion, and in the power of self-sacrifice." The Flint community raised more than $433,000 in emergency funds in a few days, beyond a Detroit Round Table to Honor Shapero Nate S.
