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. i 46 VI ..., 'ilo- ilir .4 - ir. ir-4..e-Nw. , Ss %a 41Ik •4 .11 ■ Vt. re A o am.oeiroci.-amm.••••■■ •=o4,444.0.4.4.4taw o .....stswo ..so .mw.ti4owi momtt e,,I .isomm......eso gone.o.st 'Between You . . . and Me' Boris Smolar's Editor-in-Chief Emeritus, JTA ' (Copyright 1974, JTA Inc.) I I 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. . 44 - 14 i r: , rrr: ?4‘ "4• 441 . %I•.
