) t ( t_ 4 1 11 ') 1 t 1 z By WILLIAM SAPHIRE JTA Staff Writer NEW YORK (JTA) — The Rev. Daniel Berrigan's re- cent vituperative attacks on Israel stem possibly from his total lack of first-hand knowl- edge of that country, which he has never visited, and the strong influence of anti-Is- rael elements in the Third World liberation movement, particularly one individual closely associated with ex- tremists in the Palestine Lib- eration Organization (PLO). That was the assessment of the anti-Vietnam war ac- tivist given to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency by Rabbi •rc Tanenbaum, director the interreligious affairs uepartment of the American Jewish Committee. Tanenbaum warned that "It is not sufficient simply to repudiate Father Berrigan for the simple reason that he is a major influence on uni- versity campuses and a heroic figure to many young Jews in the peace move- OPEN SUNDAY 12 to WEEK NIGHTS 'til 9 ment." He must be re-edu- cated, Rabbi Tanenbaum said. The 52-year-old J e suit priest, who served 27 months in Danbury Federal Peniten- tiary for burning draft rec- ords in Catonsville, Md. in 1968, attacked Israel as an "imperialist nation" and a "settler state" which is "the creation of an elite of mil- lionaires, generals and en- trepreneurs." He delivered his attack two months ago to the Associa- tion of Arab University Grad- uates. His remarks were pub- lished in American Report, a publication of Clergy and Laity Concerned. Tanenbaum, who is active in the ecumenical movement, said he has encountered other Christian clergy and laymen who have exhibited similar attitudes. "We simply have to start with their total re- education, make them recog- nize their ignorance and bring them to responsibility," he said. He told the JTA that he was "involved in efforts to establish some sort of effective communication with Father Berrigan." Berrigan's anti-Israel re- marks have cast doubt on plans to present him with the Gandhi Peace Award Jan. 9 at the Community Church here. The Rev. Donald S. Harrington, pastor of the church who was to make the presentation, has said that he would not do so. Promoting Enduring Peace, the group which was plan- ning to present the award, now is taking a mail poll of its board of directors to re- evaluate the award to Fr. Berrigan. Tanenbaum, describing Ber- rigan as "a mystic and poet who is carried away by his own rhetoric and influenced by the audience he is addres- sing," attributed much of his anti-Israel bias to a Pakis- tani political science student, surnamed Achmed, at the Adlai Stevenson Institute in Chicago. According to Tanenbaum, the Pakistani has been one of the closest associates of Berrigan and his brother, Response to Terrorism? Kuwait apparently is turn- ing over the five terrorists who murdered 32 people in Rome Airport to the Pales- tine Liberation Organization.

"This latest crime against humanity does not even have the political excuse some- times advanced in defense of terrorism. To shoot up inno- cent bystanders in an airport lounge, to toss incendiary bombs into a passenger plane, then to hijack another plane and murder an inno- cent 'hostage' in cold blood is savage barbarism. "Not one of the persons murdered was a known op- ponent of the Palestinian cause the terrorists and their leaders presumably believe they are serving. Four were fellow Arabs, Moroccan of- ficials whose government is among those demanding pun- ishment of the criminals. Even the Palestinian guerril- la leader Yasir Arafat report- edly is asking their trial by a 'Palestinian revolutionary court.' "The government of Ku- wait has an obligation before mankind to see that justice is done. Whether it tries the terrorists itself or cooperates with Italy's extradition re- quest, it must move to put them before a duly constitut- ed court. To release them or to turn them over to the guerrilla Palestine Libera- tion Organization — even if the P.L.O. proposes to under- take punishment—would be a travesty of governmental re- sponsibility."

He is associated with the PLO and has also been one of the most vocifer- ous anti-Israel propagandists, Tanenbaum said. Michael Novak, a promin- ent Catholic thinker and con- tributor to the liberal Catho- lic magazine Commonweal, attacked Fr. Berrigan for his words about "Zionists in our midst." Israeli father, who survived Auschwitz, received the fol- lowing letter from his soldier- son at the Suez fro n t: "Father, when I was at the Suez Canal facing the huge tank assault of the enemy, all I could see before my eyes at that time was the concentration camp number tatooed on your arm. It was that vision which gave me strength and enabled me to survive." •lb • • • • • • • Audemars Piguet Ltd.
