THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Friday, June 12, 1970-3 Israel-Arab Coexistence a Reality in Occupied Lands, Report Indicates TEL AVIV (JTA)—The military government summed up three years of Israeli occupation of Arab terri- tories and concluded that Jews and Arabs can coexist and work in harmony together. The report was issued on the third anniversary of the 1967 war in which Israeli forces occupied East Jerusalem, the west bank of the Jordan, the Golan Heights, Ga- za Strip and the entire Sinai Penin- sula. According to the military gov- ernment's report, 30,000 Arabs from the occupied territories are now working at jobs in Israel proper. Some 26,000 Arabs from neigh- boring countries vacationed with friends and relatives on the West Bank last summer, compared to 16,000 the year before. Summing up the military aspects of the occupation, the report dis- closed that 378 Israelis were killed or wounded in the occupied terri- tories since the end of the 1967 war. The dead number 43. During the same period, Israel suffered 2,200 frontline casualties including 528 dead. Arab Gains on West Bank Balanced Against Persisting Conflict in M. E. NEW YORK (JTA)—Israel has gone a long way toward establish- ing a modus vivendi with Pales- tinian Arabs on the West Bank and Gaza. Nearly $30,000,000 is budgeted annually for the civil administration of the territories. According to Herbert Krosney, writing from Jerusalem in the June 15 edition of the monthly magazine, The Nation, sizeable loans and Israel expertise have benefited Arab agricultural and Industrial enterprises and if the Arabs don't "suddenly love the Jews" they have for the most part chosen normalcy and a working relationship with the Israelis. But beneath the surface, the seemingly endless Middle East con- flict persists, reflecting the claims of two peoples for the same land. Krosney, an author and former producer of documentary films on Israel for National Educational te- levision, noted that Israel has em- barked on its policy of economic integration of the occupied territo- ries with mixed feelings. They don't publicize their bene- ficial acts because, in the words of one high government official quoted by Krosney, "we really want the Arabs out of here. We want our own state. We want to be comfortable with ourselves, with Jews, and we don't want to make it seem, even for them (the Arabs) that we're doing too much for them, that life is too good here." Another Israeli friend told the writer, "Another 10 years and all the Arabs will be looking like Jews. You won't be able to tell them apart. Even so, I just can't trust them, because they must know they have lost the land. We have beaten them. They have a claim to the land too. How would you feel if you were they?" Many Israelis acknowledge that the Arabs have a claim to the land although "part of the problem in the past has been the resolute re- fusal of the Israeli government to admit any validity to Palestinian nationalism," Kro s n e y wrote. "Golda Meir does not help when she denies even a trace of validity . . . What right, after all, does anyone have to define another peoples' self recognition?" However, the writer continued, "It is easy enough to blame the Jews, but what it really boils down to is that a very pugnacious, mod- ern 20th Century people is being asked to find a common path with a people still living mainly in the distant past . . The Arab world is still in the painful throes of com- ing to grips with itself; possibly the Palestinian revolution is one of its means toward modernity . I think the Arab is still insulted Moslems Thank Jews' Aid JERUSALEM (JTA)—The Jew- ish Agency office here received a report that the Moslem community of West Germany had expressed thanks to the West German Jewish community for contributing 10,000 German marks for the victims of the recent earthquake in Turkey. i TOW TURN IttO, •rs."

"The existence of the Jessv forces the Arab to look at his own so- ciety. Certainly the Jew on his part, must concede to the Arab the rights of political man which have become such an important part of our century," Krosney wrote.
