Druze Consul Relates Gains of Israel's Minorities
Israel may not be a "rosy
society"—in the words of the
Jewish state's first non-Jew-
ish foreign service officer—
but to at least one of her
minorities the pluses far out-
weigh the minuses.
That minority is the Druze,
36,000 of Israel's most loyal
citizens, who saw one of their
number, Ziedan Atashi, ap-
pointed consul in New York
in August 1972.
Atashi, who was here for
two days of speaking engage-
ments, answered questions •.)f
a panel of newspaper editors
Sunday evening at the Labor
Zionist Institute, under the
cosponsorship of Histadrut
and the Detroit Zionist Fed-
eration.
The speaker insisted that
Israeli Druze and Arabs
have the same rights and
privilegef, possessed by Jews.
But he admitted, in response
to a question, that he him-
self was a member of the
Herut Party at the time of
his consul appointment be-
cause the Labor Party did
not admit Arab or Druze
members until 1972. This
despite the fact that non-
Jewish communities
had been giving '75 per cent
of their vote to Labor, and
Atashi himself had worked
actively for the party.
He said that his member-
ship in Herut, the party of
Menahem Begin, was not on
an ideological basis, but out
of protest against Labor's ex-
clusionary policy. His argu-
ment and that of other Isra-
elis, that Arabs must have
full party membership if they
Family United
After 30 Years
NEW YORK (JTA)—After
a separation of 30 years, the
horrors of Auschwitz and
endless paperwork, a Brook-
lyn brother and sister from
the Soviet Union, her hus-
band and their six daughters
and grandson were reunited
here.
United Hias Service is
sponsoring the resettlement
of three generations in the
family whose members range
in age from 16 months to
60 years. The reunion took
place at Kennedy Airport.
The f a m i l y of Brooklyn
butcher Leo Albramaovich
was reunited wtih his sister
Shprintza, and her husband
Geize, their six daughters
and grandson.
For the first time, the six
daughters Ida, Blima, Chaya,
Serena, Olga, Gellini and
grandson Oleg Sabov who
left the USSR early January,
met. the Albramaovich fami-
ly. The Sabov's who spent
the last several week s in
Rome being processed for
immigration to the U.S., plan
to settle in Brooklyn.
Albramaovich has not seen
his sister Shprintza since he
emigrated to the U.S. after
World War II, and has never
seen his nieces. Now he is
the sponsor of an extended
family of six single daugh-
ters including a teacher,
radio technician, veterinarian
and seamstress.
The new arrivals will be
helped in their settlement by
NYANA (New York Associa-
tion for New Americans), a
cooperating agency of HIAS.

are to be full citizens, won
out and today "This barrier
has been removed from all
parties." Some Arab lists
still exist because "in any
normal society there are
some unhappy people."
A former member of the
political science faculty at
Haifa University, Atashi said
that seven Arabs have served
in the Knesset since 1969,
that there are two Arab dep-
uty ministers in the cabinet
and an Arab deputy speaker
of the Knesset.
He added that the gains
recorded by Israel's minori-
ties have won their loyalty to
the state. "Seventy per cent
of Israel's Arabs would not
be willing to live under an
Arab government," he said.
With the highest standard of
living in the Middle East
("You can't differentiate be-
tween an Arab village and a
Jewish village"), Israel's
Arabs have shown by their
actions during the Six-Day
and Yom Kippur wars where
their loyalties lie, said Ata-
shi.
At the same time, there
are the other 30 per cent: 15
per cent "neutral" and 15
per cent "reluctant." As to
the administered territories,
the situation is quite differ-
ent. "About 70 per cent of
the Arabs in East Jerusalem
are opposed to Israel." He
stressed, however, that Jeru-
salem must remain united,
for the sake of all religions,
including Moslem.
Atashi, who was born in
a Druze village on Mount
Carmel, described his com-
munity as largely rural.
In the 11th Century, in a
split from Islam, the Druze
formed their own secret re-
ligion. Although under Isra-
eli law, Arab citizens are ex-
empt from military service,
the Druze, by their own re-
quest, have served in the
army with great loyalty and
heroism.
The Golan Heights, where
many Druze villages are lo-
cated, must remain at least
in part in Israeli hand s4 to
ensure a secure peace within
secure borders, Atashi said.
Asked if the Arab states
could be trusted to fulfill
their end of a peace agree-
ment, Atashi replied that
such guarantees are impos-
sible when there are no sta-
ble democratic governments
with which Israel. can deal.
"If I sign a peace treaty with
the Arabs, who can guaran-
tee that someone (of the
Arabs) who seizes power will
respect that treaty?"
Atashi praised the U.S.
for its aid to Israel and ex-
pressed optimism that the
Soviet Union would not gain
control of the Middle East.
Ultimately, he said, the Arab
lands must turn against Rus-
sia because Islam is hostile
to communism, and the pres-
ence of Israel will inhibit
Russian advances.
Members of the media pan-
el, moderated by Rabbi Mil-
ton Arm, were Frank Ange-
lo, associate executive editor
of the Free Press; Charlotte
Dubin, city editor of The
Jewish News; and Wilbur
Elston, associate editor and
director of the editorial page
of the Detroit News.
Mrs. Betty Bienstock, pres-
ident of the Zionist Federa-
tion, and Isadore Shrodeck
