Well-Fed Israel Object of Envy to Hungry Arab

TEL AVIV (ZINS)—Arab hatred
for Israel stems from various
sources and is being fed by various
factors, including envy over the
high standard of living enjoyed by
the Israeli masses, reports Ha'-
aretz in Tel Aviv.
The daily newspaper comments
that well-fed Israel lies in the very
heart of a hungry region. Inade-
quate food production in the Arab
lands cannot keep up with the pro-
lific natural increase of the Arab
populations.
Egypt, for example, is 1.7 per
cent behind in her annual produc-
tion of rice and 3.2 per cent be-
hind in raising corn, Iraq is 3.3
per cent behind in her production
of wheat.
Should the Arab lands fail in
curbing their population explosion
and in expanding their crops,
they would find themselves vir-
tually in the throes of hunger by
1980.
Ha'aretz further points out
that even if a political solution

Cr

"V

to the Arab-Israeli conflict
should be evolved, a warlike
atmosphere would still persist in
that part of the world for some
time to come. One of the reasons
for continued tensions would be
Israel's high standard of living.
Israel would then be forced to
remain prepared militarily against
Arab aggression on the one hand,
and on the other, she would have
to share her wealth with her
friendly, as well as her belligerent
neighbors, in order to alleviate
hunger, the most formidable
enemy of peace.
