TEL AVIV (ZINS)—Some
Arabs are rooting for Israel
to stand fast and annex the
so-called occupied Arab ter-
ritories into the "Greater
Israel." Their reasons are
strictly personal.
An Arab contemplating
matrimony is expected to
"buy" his bride by paying a
sum of money to the bride's
parents or family. For Is-
raeli Arabs the price of
brides has soared to an
alarming degree. In the so-
called occupied areas, how-
ever, prices are more reason-
able.
Should the West Bank and
the Gaza Strip revert to
Arab control, those Arabs of
limited means would be vir-
tually excluded from the
state of matrimony.

U.S. AID TO ARABS: Many Americans—including Amer-
ican Jews—are under the impression that the U.S. govern-
ment is helping only Israel and gives no financial or mili-
tary aid to Arab countries. This false impression is eradi-
cated by data issued by the State Department.
Figures revealed by the State Department show that
since the establishment of Israel in 1948, Egypt alone has
received about a billion dollars in credits and gran:,:. from
the U.S. until it severed its relations with this country durino ,
the Six-Day War. American aid in many millions of dolls
have also been received by Syria during the same periou.
Even the oil-rich Saudi Arabia—which now leads the Arab
oil boycott against the United States—has received $257,000,-
000 in credits and $36,000,000 in grants for arms purchases
in the United States.
In the span of 25 years, the United States has given
the Arab states about $2 billion in economic loans and $2.33
billion in economic grants. During the same period the Arab
countries also received from the United States $394,000,000
in military assistance credits and $309,000,000 in outright
military grants.
Unlike the Arab countries, Israel has received no mill-,
tary grants from Washington during the 25 years. It was
only after the Yom Kippur War, last December, that the
U.S. Congress authorized giving Israel $1.5 billion in grants
and $700,000,000 in credits for the purchase of military
supplies. Close to one billion of the total of $2.2 billion will
go to repay the U.S. Defense Department for weapons
shipped to Israel during the Yom Kippur War.
During all the years of Israel's existence—until the
outbreak of the Yom Kippur War—the U.S. sold Israel
$1.12 billion in military equipment. But these were sales;
nothing in military grants. During the same time Israel
received from the U.S. $1.07 billion in economic loans and
$420,000,000 in economic grants. The wide discrepancy be-
tween the U.S. aid to Arab states as compared to the aid
given by the U.S. to Israel is obvious from the State De-
partment's report. The dimensions of U.S. assistance to the
Arabs have simply been overlooked even by Americans
who are friendly to Israel.
AID TO ARAB REFUGEES: There is another form of
support which Arabs receive from the U.S. government to
which attention is seldom paid. This is the aid given through
the United Nations for Arab refugees.
Since 1950 the U.S. has contributed $525,000,000 to
the United Nations Relief and Work Agency for Palestine
Refugees, briefly known as UNRWA. This sum represents
about 66 per cent of the UNRWA income. It means that
the U.S. covers two-thirds of all the expenses connected
with maintaining the Palestine refugees. Most of the refu-
gee population live in Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon.
thus these countries are benefiting from the funds spent by
UNRWA there.
It is interesting to note that the Arab states—which
could have long ago absorbed the Palestinian refugees into
their economy and thereby solve the refugee problem--are
contributing only 3 per cent to the UNRWA budget, leav-
ing the burden to be carried by the United States. These
states include Saudi Arabia and other oil-rich countries
which have been complaining about having too many dollars -.
and which now—with their four-fold increased price on
their oil—will have an income exceeding one 'billion dollars
a month with not much spending, since they are desert
countries.
All the Arab countries together contribute about $23,-
000,000 a year to the UNRWA as aid for Palestinian refu-
gees. Israel alone contributes more than $6,000,000 a year.
While spending huge sums of money to support the Pales-
tinian Arab terrorists, no oil-rich Arab country is giving
more than a token of aid to refugees. The Soviet Union,
which is so vehemently fighting for the Arabs at the United
Nations, has not contributed a single cent to the UN relief
agency for Arab refugees since UNRWA's existence.
The State Department also brings figures on the
given by the Soviet Union to Arab countries.
A picture emerges showing that even prior to the
massive shipments of sophisticated arms by Moscow to
Egypt and Syria shortly before their launching of the
Yom Kippur attacks on Israel, the Soviet government has
provided Egypt with $2,700,000,000 in military aid aid and
$1,198,000,000 in economic aid.
Syria has received at the same time from Moscow
$715,000,000 in military aid and $317,000,000 in economic
aid. Both Arab countries had also received economic aid
in hundreds of millions of dollars from other Communist
countries in Europe and from Communist China.
Against this tremendous assistance in billions and dol-
lars received by Egypt and Syria from the Soviets in the
years before their attacks on Israel on Yom Kippur, the
aid received by Israel from the United States is very small.
It should be added, that when the Egyptians and Syrians
started the Yom Kippur War, Moscow sent them 225,000
tons in the latest military equipment during the first month
of the war, which is 10 times as much as the U.S. emer-
gency. airlift to Israel was.
