folk loyalties, their hopes for
an early peace which they
see progressing, their repu-
diation of unjustified charges
against Israel in United Na-
tions circles—these were ex-
pressed by three distin-
guished guests from Israel
who were here for a day,
Wednesday.
They met with a group of
eminent Christians and sev-
eral Jews at a luncheon host-
ed by Alfred May, president
of the Detroit Round Table
of Christians and Jews, at
the Standard Club. Appreciat-
ing the opportunity "to pre-
sent the truth regarding

Major spokesman for the
group, who addressed the
gathering in Arabic, was
Mayor Seef el Deen Zuabi,
Mayor of Lower Nazareth.
His speech w translated by
Antoine H. Si's - .1leen, director
of the Goverx• ient Tourist
Bureau in Nazaf,:th. Both are
Christians. The third guest,
who is Jewish, was Mayor
Mordecai Alon of Upper Na-
zareth (Nazereth mit).

nations abstaining), con-
demning Israel for alleged
"war, crimes," Mayor Zuabi
said:

"A great injustice was
again perpetrated against Is-
rael. The truth refutes the
UN charges. We in Naza-
reth, the Arabs in Israel, are
eye-witnesses to good treat-
ment in the administered
territories. There was good
treatment of the populations
from the very first 'day the
areas were administered.
Contrary to the false charges
made in Geneva, we in Is-
rael, those of us who re-
mained since 1948, are wit-
nesses to good treatment."

Declaring that "we at-
tained our objectives" —
meaning the good relation-
ships with Jews — and "we
will not abandon our present
identity, we remain citizens
of Israel and we will not be
citizens of any other coun-
try."
Zuabi commented on the
pressures for the creation of
a Palestinian Arab state, and
he reiterated that Arabs in
Israel will not give up their
identity. "Nobody among us
will change for any other
citizenship, even for Ameri-
can citizenship,' he said.

Christian in the world. We
say to the Christians, as well
as to all other faiths . . . visit
us and be blessed in Naza-
reth."
Mayor Alon of Upper Naza-
reth expressed confidence
that the 500,000 Arabs from
other lands who visited Is-
rael in the last few years
will be implemented by 200,-
000 more this year. He point-
ed to the good Will that exists
between the Lower Nazareth
and the new Upper Nazareth
city and he said the popula-
tions are equally divided —
20,000 Moslems, 20,000 Chris-
tians and the 20,000 in the
upper city.

Calling attention to his hav-
ing met Zuabi for the first
time 25 years ago, Alon re-
called the hopes for peace
and good will expressed then
and the realization of it in
their area. He pointed out
that the Zuabis are among
the oldest families in the
Middle East, that members
of that tribe have served in
ministries in Jordan and
Syria, that the family num-
bers 150,000, stating "this
family alone will bring peace.
