Time Bomb Found in Tel Aviv Cinema
Candidates. Pledge Support to Israel
NEW YORK (JTA)—Two con-
tenders for the Democratic Party's
Presidential nomination came out
this week with strong declarations
of support for Israel.
Sen. Robert F. Kennedy said the
United States had a "deep moral
responsibility" for the security of
Israel and should sell to Israel the
50 Phantom supersonic jet planes
it has requested.
In Omaha, Sen. Eugene Mc-
Carthy called on the government
to "reaffirm its moral and political
commitment to the continued ex-
istence and independence of the
State of Israel by military as-
sistance if necessary." He said
that "a clear statement at this
time of our unwavering commit-
ment to the preservation of the
State of Israel may well deter an-
other outbreak of war."
Sen. Kennedy met with the board
of directors of the Synagogue Coun-
cil of America in New York. He
told the assembly that the jet
planes were needed to assure 'a
balance of arms in the Middle
East, in the absence of an agree-
ment with Moscow to limit major
arms shipments to the region. Cit-
ing the "massive Soviet shipments
to Arab states, "Sen. Kennedy
said we should continue to work for
an arms curtailment agreement
with the Kremlin. He said diplo-
mats should be "bending every
effort" to prevent another Middle
East war instead of accepting one
as "inevitable." He said the U.S.
had a "deep moral responsibility
to assure the existence of Israel,"
saying the world community was
morally delinquent in the 1930s in
failing to save Jews from Nazi ex-
termination.
Kennedy said the survivors of
the Holocaust must never be
threatened with destruction again.
He added that ,Israel's role as a
democracy and a friend of the U.S.
as well as the respect that nations
everywhere have for Israel as a
"symbol and teacher of democratic
self - development," requires that
the U.S. honor its commitment to
guard the security of the Jewish
state. •

Carthy said he was moved to

TEL AVIV—Police were search-
ing this week for an unidentified
youth who may be the person who
left a small but powerful home-
made time bomb in the Merkaz
movie house here Monday after-
noon. The youth was seen dawdling
in the theater following the after-
noon show. An artist's sketch
drawn from the descriptions of
witnesses has been distributed to
police.
The bomb consisted of 700 grams
of gelignite, a detonator and timing
mechanism set to go off during
Monday night's performance, the
cause he felt there was vacilla-
tion in U.S. Mideast policies.

His belief was said to be that
any confusion as to U.S. intentions
causes a vacuum that tempts the
Arabs to aggression. Reference was
made to a previous statement by
Sen. McCarthy, at Beloit College,
Wisconsin, March 20, in which he
said "we have both a moral and
legal obligation to Israel . . . so
that our responsibility to preserve
the integrity of the State of Israel
is clear on every count . We are
called upon to do what we have to
do to honor that commitment, a
much clearer commitment than
anything we have in Southeast
Asia."
latest and usually the most crowded
of the day. Since last October's
bombing attempt by El Fatah ter-
rorists in the Zion Cinema in
Jerusalem, all Israeli theaters are
inspected by civil defense wardens
before each performance, and a
sharp look-out is kept for persons
carrying suspicious parcels.

Ambassador Yitzhak Rabin of
Israel told the board of directors
of the Synagogue Council of
America last week that he was
not overly optimistic about pros-
pects of peace in the Middle East
in the near future, but said "I
am fully confident of Israel's
ability to survive and to develop
even without peace, if so it must
be."
The envoy told the group that
"the former armistice agreements
are dead, once and for all." He
said that "we live under the cease-
fire regime and only according to
it._ We shall not return to any
armistice regime."
We flew to Israel' before
there was a Jewish state!
And now we operate 24 ightsper week.
MA N
By PAUL GRAFF
We preach lave,
and practice hate.
Goodness is our motto,
but evil is our trait.
We are all brother;
united we stand.
But to stand as a tuition,
to stand as a people,
is to discriminate
the whole human race.
For man has not learned,
to live with his fellow man.
To destroy and. kill,
is his true desire.
We call ourselves civilized,
who are we kidding.
.Are we so blind,
is history so distant,
to look upon
our true being.
Century upon century,
death upon death,
nation against nation.
To destroy to kilt,
so we may live
and justice prevail.
Who determines right
from wrong, man
_ Man from the moment
of his creation,
destroyed his own,
his fellow num.
HaVe pity, have pity,
on our past and present.
Far we now, in our mist,
have the power and the might
to end our future,
and our plight.
