Terrorism Exposed: Tada een' Are Defined

An end to the Yom Kippur
War has not enlisted a cease
fire in the ranks of the ter-
rorists. Fedayeen and El Fa-
tah are threatening even
more horrible vengeance on
Israelis and Jews. A study of
the terrorists' aims is there-
fore vital to an understanding
of the Middle East crises.
"Fedayeen —The Arab-Is-
raeli Dilemma" by John Laf-
fin, published by Macmillan-
The Free Press, offers one of
the best available definitions
of the threatening Arab guer-
rillas, their aims, their per-
sonalities, their strength.

The confusions and the pre-
judices, the dilemmas, the
hidden aims—all are given a
thorough airing in a splendid
compilation of facts.

They will appear together

kelon.

rorists fighting the British.
The Arabs are not capable of
implementing such methods.
Sir John Glubb has said, 'The
guerrillas cannot, of course,
drive out the Israeli army
but they can make peace im-
possible.' This is tragically
true, though if Egypt made
peace there would be peace,
regardless of the fedayeen.
All the fedayeen can now do
is to withhold peace from
their own people who have so
long craved it.
"Gen. Carl Van Horn, the
Swede who commanded the
UN peace-keeping force in
the Middle East and who is
no friend of the Israelis, de-
scribes fedayeen activities as
`political masturbation'. He
would mean, in part, that the
Palestinian organizations are
poor substitutes for a real
revolutionary force. To exist
and operate they must make
their peace with the Arab
powers that be, in ways that
a real revolutionary, such as
Castro, would never do.
The observer is finally left
with the conviction that the
Palestinian fedayeen organi-
zations—the force that never
was—could more benefit their
own people by going out of
business altogether. But this
will not happen. Resistance
has become an industry; the
fedayeen organizations have
become entrenched bureau-
cracies in which the hier-
archy are reluctant to elim-
inate their own authority.

Laffin, aiming at objectiv-
ity, has delved into the posi-
tions of the two embattled
nations. His compiled facts
will be subject to great scru-
tiny and are certain to call
for added reserch into a most
serious subject.
Reviewing in detail the sub-
jects related to "Fedayeen,"
Laffin concludes his analyses
and studies by stating:
"A leading Israeli general
told me that if he were a
Palestinian fedayeen leader
fighting Israel he could make
life intolerable for the Israe-
lis. His statement was dis-
passionate and matter-of-fact
and was intended to empha-
size Arab inefficiency rather
than his own or Israeli clev-

TOY SAFETY CAMPAIGN

ing blood.
A number of reasons are
offered for this prohibition.
The Bible itself, which cites
the prohibition, (Leviticus
17:11) explains that "the soul
of the flesh is in the blood."
This showed that some com-
mentaries view the prohibi-
tion against eating blood as
an indication that man must
have reverence for any life
— even that of an animal.
The fact that the Almighty
has given man the license to
use animal flesh for food
does not mean that man has
to have no regard for animal
life. He has to, at least, re-
frain from eating the blood
since blood is the carrier of
life. Man was, therefore, re-
quired during the days of
the Temple of Jerusalem to
sprinkle blood on the altar
as a symbol that life, char-
acterized by blood, belongs
to God. Some commentaries
feel that, if one consumed
the blood of the animal, in-
stincts of the animal would
be transferred to his per-
sonality.
It is also claimed by some
authorities that blood was
such an awesome entity that
early man attached many
strange idolatrous practices
to the blood. There were a
number of cults that con-
sumed and used blood in cult
worship. In order to keep
Jews away from such prac-
tides, blood was prohibited
as human food. Somehow,
Jewish tradition looked upon
the consumption of animal
blood as a barbarous prac-
tice which displayed a lack
of feeling and concern. Jew-
ish tradition wanted man to
be concerned with the sanc-
tity of life, no matter what
kind of life it was.

Nursery Library Day

"By the end of 1972, ra-
tionality was no longer a fac-
tor in fedayeen thinking, ex-
cept to the extent of reason-
ing that as nothing else
worked in gaining their ends
they would try havoc, and
that any methods were justi-
fiable. Fedayeenism is a way
of life, a trade, and a state of
mind, and in groups or as in-
dividuals fedayeen are likely
to become more involved in
the growth of urban guerrilla
activity in other countries.
Because of their experience,
they are desirable collabora-
tors and instructors.
"Israel, and Israelis at
home and abroad, will no
doubt remain prime targets,
and inevitably more Israelis
will be killed—as will others
o f different nationalities.
Anybody who gets in the way
is expendable. In Nicosia on
April 9, 1973, a Cypriot police-
man on routine guard outside
the residence of the Israeli
ambassador to Cyprus was
shot in the back and killed by
terrorists who then threw
nearly a dozen bombs at the
building. Three of the Pales-
tinians—members of yet an-
other group, the National Or-
ganization of Arab Youth—
were wounded and captured.
Almost simultaneously at Ni-
cosia Airport, a group of five
fedayeen in a car crashed
through a barrier and opened
fire on an El Al plane which
had just disembarked its pas-
sengers from Tel Aviv. An
Israeli security officer shot
and killed one of the attack-
ers and the other four were
captured. A few days later,
another Palestinian agent,
Ahmen Aboussan, was killed
by a bomb tossed into his
Athens hotel room.
"The casualty list will get
longer but the real victims
are, and must remain, the
ordinary Palestinians who
want to live in peace."

an earlier date due to the
Mideast crisis, has been re-

"There are now signs,"
said a Council bulletin, "that

to use the confusion following
events in the Mideast and the

to renew a harassment cam-
paign aimed at Russian Jew-

News from the USSR indi-
cates that new trials and

ing, the bulletin said. Im-
mediate targets are Alexan-
