He said that a few hours after
his capture by Israeli authorities
he was beaten and hanged from a
metal bar by his wrists. The three
member UN committee is headed

fused to admit the group to its
territory, because the group is in-

Arab conditions but refuses to in-
vestigate conditions of Jews in
Arab countrie s.
Khalifa gave the investigators
the names of Arab prisoners who,
he said, received worse treatment
than he and who are still in Israeli
prisons. He also gave the names
of Israelis who allegedly inflicted
torture. "I consider myself mis-
treated rather than systematically
tortured," the former student said.
He claimed personal knowledge of

charges. He said one man died
from beatings.
Ambassador Amerasinghe said
"every effort" would be made to
check out Khalifa's charges and
the accusations made by other
witnesses.
Another witness, Professor
George Dib, an assistant profes-
sor at Beirut University who ad-
mitted that he has not been to the
Israel-occupied Arab territories
charged Israel with individual and
collective murder and torture of
civilians in the territories.
, Dib described himself as an ad-
visor to the Institute for Palestine
Studies. He said the institute has

systematically studied the situa-
tion through two survey teams.

which collected reports including
information from Israeli sources
such as Knesset debates, the Is-
raeli press and radio.
Tekoah lashed back at Iraq
last week for alleging that Israel
was more reprehensible that the
white racist regime governing
Rhodesia.
In a letter to Max Jakobson of
Finland, president of the Security
Council, Ambassador Tekoah de-
nounced Iraq as a country re-
sponsible for "imprisonment, tor-
ture and barbaric hangings of in-
nocent Jews in Baghdad's squares"
that dared to interject itself into

About 70 Arabs, protesting the
existance of Israel and shouting
"remember the massacre at
Deir Yasin," demonstrated last
Saturday for an hour in' front of
the Israel Embassy.

The group, calling itself the
Committee for Arab-American Re-
lations, chanted in Arabic and
English and carried the pre-1948
Palestinian flag. Dr. M.H. Mehdi.
an Arab propagandist who led
the protestors said the demonstra-
tion was to commemorate the
"massacre" of 1948 in which a
large number of Arabs were killed
by right-wing Jewish terrorists.
The incident was condemned by the
Israeli government.
Dr. Mehdi denounced Menahem
Begin as a "criminal" for having
participated in the incident.
Another, unidentified Arab parti-
cipants in the demonstrations as-
serted, "We are not against Juda-
ism. We are against Zionism. Juda-
ism is a religion and we respect
that, but Zionism is a political,
movement which we oppose."
Several members of the group
held up a replica of an Israeli flag
and cut out the star in the center
as a symbolic gesture to indicate
Jewiiih
a
"Palestine" without
"domination."

The Iraqi statement said that
"although the rights of the people
of Zimbabwe have been flagrant-
ly violated by the white European
minority, the people of Zimbabwe
are still in their country and
homeland, while Israel has been
able, with the assistance- and col-
lusion of western colonialism, to
expel the Palestinian people, the
legal inhabitants of the country :
from their ancestral homeland."
Tekoah's letter stated, "It is ob-
vious that a comparison between
the restoration by the Jewish
people of their sovereignty in Is-
rael after a struggle of 2,000 years
to liquidate the consequences of
the foreign conquests of their land.
and the illegal racist regime in
Southern Rhodesia is an insidious
distortion. The white inhabitants
of Zimbabwe have no other- con-
nection with the land except colon-
ialist settlement . . . In Israel
every hill and valley are witness
to the irrevocable bonds between
the people aand the land of Israel.

OTTOWA (JTA)—The anti-hate
legislation introduc'ed by the gov-
ernment directed against neo-Nazi,
anti-Semetic and hate groups met
with considerable opposition dur-
ing debate in the House of Com-
mons.
Liberal, Conservative and New
Democratic Party MPs attacked
the government protect as "erod-
ing the Canadian Bill of Rights."
Max Salzman, NPD representa-
tive `rom Toronto. said that "the
introduction of an anti-hate bill in
Germany would not have nailed
down Hitler nor saved the Jews
from gas chambers. What was
necessary was a cure for the ills
of society that people suffer from
and conditions that generate hate."
The legislation passed in the
Senate two months ago after be-
ing bottled up in various commit-
tees for some 18 months. The legis-
lation is now in its final stage in
second reading before the House
of Commons.
