Orthodox Jews Defy
Military Govt., Continue
Anniversary Celebration _martin
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Orthodox
Jews who defied Israel military
government orders a year ago and
established the first Jewish set-
tlement in Hebron since members
of the ancient Jewish community
there were driven from their
homes in the 1936 Arab riots, con-
tinued this week their clandestine
celebrations of the first anniver-
sary of the resettlement.
Hebron is one of the five holy
cities of Palestine. and Jews had
lived there uninterruptedly from
Biblical days until the 1936 riots.
It is the site of the Tomb of the
Patriarchs.
A number of youngsters defied
defense ministry orders forbidding
celebrations in the occupied areas
and slipped into Hebron to join
the Orthodox group. They held an
anniversary celebration in an
abandoned building.
The steering committee of the
Land of Israel movement — an
organization seeking the incor-
poration into Israel of all the
territory occupied in the Six-Day
War — held a meeting in the
settlers' compound and voted to
establish a development corpora-
tion to function in what they call-
ed the liberated areas.
At Kfar Etzion, in the West Bank
area, where there is now a nahal
settlement on the site of the Jewish
settlement complex that fell to the
Arabs on the eve of the 1948 libera-
tion war, two conventions were
held, one of youths from the vari-
ous political parties, and the sec-
ond of youths representing the
Jewish settlements in the Israeli-
held areas. The latter group voted
to set up an organization to re-
cruit and screen candidates for
settlement -in the occupied areas.
Exiled Algerian Writer
Seeks Arab-Jewish Ties
TEL AVIV — The exiled leftist
Algerian writer, Abd el-Razek Abd
of Hader, a descendant of the leg-
endary Arab emir Abd el-Kader
who, from 1832 to 1847, headed the
Algerians' war against the French
colonization, recently visited Israel
with a view to establish an Arab-
Israel friendship similar to the one
functioning in Paris.
The Israeli branch would initiate
political and psychological action
to bring the Jews and the Arabs of
Israel and the territories closer to
peace and friendship.
