THE- DETROIT 'JEWISH' NEWS 8—Friday, -January 17, 1969 Peace Is Indivisible By NATHAN ZIPRIN In groping for purpose, the UN since its inception has made many mistakes. The one it made recent- ly, when the Security Council ap- proved a resolution condemning Israel for its retaliatory raid on Lebanon, was one of the gravest in its history because its impact could only be intensification of the pro- claimed Arab objective to drive all Israelis into the sea. If Israel merited censure, then the cynical disregard by the Arab states for more than 20 years of the very UN resolution that gave birth to Israel certainly merited greater condemnation, for here the root of the matter was not action and reaction by the parties in- volved but fundamentals basic to the existence and functions of the international body. For, let there be no mistake, when the Arabs and their Soviet masters speak of liquidating the consequences of aggression they mean, despite the tortuous semantics, the extinction of Israel as a political state and not a political settlement that SAVE 354 THRU JANUARY 26 1.90 CHOCOLATE TV MUNCH Full pound, reg. $2.25 BARTON'S popular munch and crunch chocolates.

Admittedly, Israel in its incur- sions and reprisals has not always been right, but neither has it al- ways been wrong, as one would infer from the UN record. One would have to be incredibly naive not to recognize the varied situa- tions and elements that enter into UN decisions. But only the cynical and the amoral can countenance an international orientation that is seemingly always based on poli- tical expediency. Particularly shocking at the most recent UN performance was the British-American alignment against Israel. As to France, it was merely echoing the hatred that dictator de Gaulle, a man of limitless gall, is currently harboring for Israel and, it is believed, for the Jewish peo- ple. As to our own policy makers in Washington, they have obviously not yet come around to the realiza- tion that the crisis in the Middle East will not be resolved by the rod of admonition of the powerful but through green-table talks by the affected parties. The crux of the issue is quite simple. The Soviet Union does not want tranquility in the Middle East, where it has penetrated in fulfillment of a dream going back to Czarist days in Russia. In a climate of peace, the Soviet Union could not have gotten a foothold in that area of the world. And it is for that very reason that Moscow is deliberately driving the Arabs to- ward the pit. The transparent aim is to direct Arab destiny with the view to foisting on the Arab world political chains that would link them in eternal slavery to Moscow. What is tragic about the ambi- valent American position on the Middle East is that it serves the Soviet purpose. When we link I hands with Moscow in resolutions of condemnation of Israel without intransigence, we in essence con- demning direct and indirect Arab intransigencve, we in essence con- done the very terrorism which triggers retaliation, thus contribut- ing to the vicious circle which ulti- mately could be the Middle East's death trap. The uncontestable fact is that the terrorists are operating from Arab soil, by which is meant soil that is under the control of govern- ments who would be precluded from claiming innocence or lack of responsibility if the matter were before a court of justice. No gov- ernment can shirk responsibility for what happens on its soil as a result of guerrilla activities directed against a foreign country. Our own General Pershing gained top fame by driving the Mexican bandits back deep into their own soil when they made gangsterous forays into U.S. soil. The Arab states know damn well that the terrorists are planning to overpower, to destroy, a foreign state—Israel. By giving them official approval and moral support, the governments of those countries have become partners to crimes and cannot therefore es- cape liability. Infiltration and ter- rorism are invitations to reprisals. Those who encourage gangster raids on Israel must be made to know they cannot escape the conse- quences of their crimes. Cleveland Campaign Has $7,150,000 Goal for 1969 CLEVELAND (JTA)—The Jew- ish Community Federation has set a slightly increased 1969 goal for the Jewish Welfare Fund Appeal of $7,150,000, it has been announc- ed by Lloyd S. Schwenger, who was elected to a second one-year term as federation president. He said that the 1969 campaign would again include a separate Israel Emergency Fund but that no goal had been set because of "the over- whelming needs to be met in Israel." pita& 4 gloaRt Pictured are The Pillars of Courage, an impressive circle of lofty columns on the central square of Detroit's new development site, Mishmar Hayarden-Gadot, Israel.
