Editorial Praising
HHH's Courage
Editor, The Jewish News:
Your Aug. 2 editorial remind-
ing American Jewry that "HHH"
stood in defense of American lib-
erties long before the present
Johnny-Come-Latelies arrived on
the scene deserves applause by
every honest American Jew and
Jewess for its timeliness and, of
c-ourse, absolute justification.
I applaud you, too, for criticizing
New York Senatorial candidate
Paul O'Dwyer for injecting the is-
sue of anti-Semitism into the Abe
Fortas controversy. As a native
New Yorker, of course, I admire
the forthright brother of our late
mayor for his outstpokenness, but
I do think it beneath him to put
on a yarmulka in the lavatory of
politics.
And while I'm at it, may I take
Rabbi Richard L. Rubenstein on
the carpet for suggesting per your
story on page 34 that "the best
young people of- the American Jew-
ish community" are appalled by
Israel's retaliations against the El
Fatah terrorists. On the contrary.
American Jewish youths familiar
with the facts—and I don't mean
Rubenstein's "hippies" — applaud
Israeli heroism in defending its
unarmed peace-loving populace
against the El Fatah hooligans.

On the Vietnam Issue
Editor. The Jewish News:
I have always believed that mur-
der and terror was used to enslave,
not liberate. But this assumption
is unpopular today with many
Americans who become "involved"
for the sole purpose of not being
"non-involved."
Communist propaganda has suc-
ceeded in brain-washing the imma-
ture into believing that we (of the
U.S.) are intruding in a "family
squabble" in Vietnam. In fact.
they have come to regard the
Viet Cong butchers and the peace-
ful villagers as one and the same.
It is like comparing a member of
the Ku Klux Klan with the little
old lady across the street. After
all, aren't they both Americans?
And now we witness the amaz-
ing spectacle of a Presidential
candidate, Senator Eugene McCar-
thy, who would insist that the
South Vietnamese cooperate with
the scavengers who deliberately
massacred their parents, their
wives and their children. And he
is cheered in the bargain!
This is not the first time the
moral fiber of the American peo-
ple has been in question. In 1939,
they calmly watched the slaughter
f hundreds of thousands and en-
red World War II only when the
t.s . was attacked.
It takes little courage to defend
your homeland when you have no
choice, but it takes a great nation
to support an alien people in a
far-off land in the cause of free-
dom. This is, and must be, our
legacy.

MISS MARCIA TOBY HOROWITZ
Asian Signers of Appeal
for M. E. Peace Pull Out
r
LONDON (JTA) — Many of the 1
Asian students at the London
School of Economics signed a pub-
lic appeal to all nations in the
Middle East to settle their differ- 1
ences by peaceful methods have i
withdrawn their signatures "for_
personal reasons."
The statement, which urged neg-
otiated agreements leading to a
just and lasting peace "in accord-
ance with the United Nations char-
ter," was published with 12 signers.
Six were Indian. five were Pak-
istani and one was Ceylonese.
Those who withdrew their signa-
tures insisted they were "whole-
heartedly in favor" of the state-
ment. Leaders of African students
at the school said they would issue
a similar statement soon. j 1

Eshkol Says World
Has Responsibility to
Pr:FFlish Arvpressors
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Prime
Minister Levi Eshkol declared here
Sunday that it was the world's
responsibility to punish the acts
of aggression constantly being com-
mitted against Israel, and if the
world failed, Israel could not shun
its responsibility to protect the
life, liberty and propertly of its
citizens.
Eshkol spoke before the Amer-
ican Histadrut campaign study 1
mission here. His obvious reference
was to the hijacked Israeli airliner
that has been held in Algeria since -
July 23 With 12 Israeli passengers l-
and crew members, and to the
terrorist raids and acts of sabo-
tage against Israeli territory by
Arab guerillas, abetted by Arab
governments.
He likened the present wave
of "murder, hijacking and kid-
napping" to the chain of events
that led up to the Six-Day War.
"Everybody was sympathetic
while we were threatened but
nothing was done to alleviate
the threat," Eshkol said.
Refering to the hijacked plane,
he declared that there was "not 1
the slightest excuse to harbor sto-
len goods and kidnaped people."
Eshkol said that Israel's co-ex-
istence and confrontation with the !
Arabs depends, in the final analy-
sis, on Israel's numerical strength. i
He called on Diaspora Jews to
supply both people and the means
to help Israel meet its challenges. 1
In Washington, Sen. Thomas J.
Dodd, Connecticut Democrat, in a
speech on the Senate floor labeled
as unfortunate those Americans
who 'are divided in their support
of our Vietnam commitments" but
who see "the need to stand up
against the danger of Soviet ex-
pansion in the Middle East and to
support Israel against Arab ex-
tremists."
1
They fail to realize," the Sen-
I
ator continued, that these two con-
flicts are part of a larger global 11.
conflict between the forces of free-
dom and the forces of Communist
slavery . . . "The Communists,
however, understand this only too
well. That is why, in the Mideast
crisis, the propaganda radios of
North Vietnam and the Viet Cong
gave unstinting support to the Arab
extremists against Israel."
