Israel Must Hold Lands She Won, WE DEAL RIGHT THE FIRST TIME
or Risk Another War, Begin Says JERRY STEIN

One year from the day that Is-
rael stood on the brink of disaster,
Menahem Begin, cabinet minister
of a victorious nation, told leis
fellow Jews in Detroit — and thus
informed all nations — Tuesday
night:
"Never again will Jewish blood
be shed and those who spill it
enjoy impunity . . We are strong-
er today than since the days of
the Maccabees."
"Because we want peace," Be-
gin told 700 Israel Bond dinner
guests at Cobo Hall, "we must
not forfeit what we fought for."
Begin, founder of the rightist
Herut Party, is a staunch defender
of the position that Israel keep
the territories she gained in the
Six-Day War. While he spoke,
more than 50 pickets outside Cobo
Hall carried placards proclaiming

is impossible with only one party.
"But when the enemy converges
on you, you unite.''
The crisis facing Israel on
June 4 of last year was recalled
by Begin, who illustrated with
a map the Arab deployment for
attack. He told how, with obso-
lete weapons — and "the secret
weapon, the spirit of self sacri-
fice" — Israeli forces repulsed
the enemy on three fronts.
Using the Romans' siege of Jer
usalem and the Warsaw Ghetto
Uprising as historical lessons, Be-
gin called Israel's fight one of
"survival, not just freedom. Our
veins are dry of blood. Every man
lost in war was a world in him-
self — a high cost to save our
people from another attempt at
genocide."
After 1,900 years, he said, "we

TEL AVIV—President Zalman
Shazar opened Israel's interna-
tional Trade Fair on the Tel Aviv
Fair Grounds Tuesday night,
where 829 exhibitors from 33 coun-
tries are showing off everything
-om farm machinery to kitchen
re in an effort to woo Israel
.,stomers.
As in past years, the United
States pavilion will be a major at-
traction. The American exhibit fo-
cusses on food processing and
packaging machinery worth nearly
$1,000,000.
The Romanian pavilion is also
expected to draw large crowds by
virtue of it being the only Eastern
European country participating in
the fair and the trade agreements
recently signed between Israel and
Romania.

have conquered and reunited Jer-
usalem, not `jura victoria' but
`victoria juris' — not by right of
victory but by victory of right.
Jerusalem is indivisible for ever
and ever."
Begin, insisting that Israel
must not return to the prewar
status quo by surrendering occu-
pied lands, presented evidence of
Arab aggression, including state-
ments on Cairo radio before the
war that no mercy would be shown
to Israelis, women and children
among them. "It was more than
aggression, he said, "it was an
attempt to destroy an entire peo-
ple."
His comments were made
against a background of news
from Jerusalem Tuesday that
three Israeli civilians had been
killed by Jordanian tire and that
the Israel Air Force had respond-
ed by a foray into Jordan.
Begin differs with those who in-
sist that a peace treaty must be
concluded at all costs. "When there
is no peace treaty," he said, "most
writers maintain that the status
quo at the cessation of hostilities
must be maintained." Comparing
the postwar situation to that in
postwar Europe Begin said "There
is no peace treaty; the Israel army
stays where it is." He insisted,
however. "No nation in the world
yearns for peace more than does
Israel.
"Every man of good will will
understand our problem," he said,
adding, "President Lyndon John-
son has proved himself to be a
great, devoted and sincere friend
of Israel."
"We shall not rely on anyone
but ourselves to give blood for
Israel . . But we need thousands
of people to come from all over
the world. If everybody does his
duty, Israel will live forever."
Rabbi Jacob E. Segal, who in-
troduced Begin, said "How differ-
ent would this June 5 be if that
miracle had not come to pass . . .
If, God forbid, the war had gone
the other way. We would not be
marking the first happy annivers-
ary of 'Jerusalem shlema' (unit-
ed); we would be marking the
first yarzeit . . . Our melody is not
the El Moleh, but a new, vibrant
rendition of Hatikva."

man, announced that purchases

The Israel 20th anniversary dinner, at which Cabinet Minister
Menahem Begin spoke, brought the 1968 Israel Bond subscriptions
to $1,750,000. Participating were (from left) seated: Charles Gros-
berg, Israel Bond trustee chairman; Mrs. Morris. L. Schaver, wom-
en's division chairman; Mrs. Begin and the minister; Irwin I.
Cohn, diner chairman, and Mrs. Cohn; standing: Rabbi Samuel H.
Prero of Young Israel, Cantor Simon Bermanis of Ahavas Achim;
Rabbi Jacob E. Segal of Adas Shalom Synagogue; and Rabbi Hayim
Donin of Cong. B'nai David.

"Israel Is an Expansionist State"
and "Down With Jewish Chauvin-
ism."
However, the speaker explained
Israel's position as one of sheer
survival, not expansionism:
"An aggressor must never get
away with the spoils of his ag-
gression. Otherwise, he'll say 'I
tried and failed. Excuse me,
try again.' "
The pickets — some of them left
over from last year's Israel Bond
event when Golda Meir spoke, and
some of them additions — were
primarily from the Organization
of Arab Students, and Socialist
Workers Party, although 13 groups
were listed as supporters on the
leaflets distributed - at the scene.
Protesting against the protestors,
but also against the appearance of
Begin, were three members of
Hashomer Hatzair youth move-
ment, who said they oppose Begin's
"right-wing policies."
Ironically, during the course of
his speech, Begin referred to the
cabinet of national unity formed
last June as a "lesson learned
from the past and for all time."
In the past, he noted, Betar (Her-
ut) and Hashomer Hatzair (Ma-
pam) fought separately. "This time,
we stood together, shoulder to
shoulder, and put aside our divis-
ions. We shall stand together, fight
together and win together."
Begin stressed that a democracy
