she stressed.
Miss Hassna said that de-
spite whatever Egyptian Pres-
ident Anwar Sadat had said
to quiet political opposition,
Egypt is committed to find-
ing a peaceful settlement in
the Mideast.
She called the Kiryat She-
mona and Ma'alot massacres
"horrible" and said that gov-
ernments that have kept quiet
about them are morally re-
sponsible. But she said the
only way to prevent further
such "outrages" is the crea-
tion of a Palestinian state on
the West Bank.
She warned that to return
the West Bank to the rule
of King Hussein of Jordan
would result in a continued
cycle of terrorism and war.

general of the Israel Labor

Pressed by the audience on
the U.S. support of the
Security Council condemning
Israel, Sober said the U.S.
wanted to include a condem-
nation of the Kiryat Shemona
massacre but could not
achieve this. He said the
resolution did contain a con-
demnation of the use of
violence.
Elmer L. Winter, who was
re-elected to his second term
as AJCommittee president,
called for a "fuller and more
constructive partnership be-
tween Israel and America"
which included the need to
interpret America's mood to
Israel and Israel's needs to
America.
He said that on his recent
visit to Israel, "I found an
Israel that was questioning,
as we are in America, its
electoral processes and its
governmental decision-mak-
ing apparatus . . . I believe
that this re-examination . .
will develop a strong Israel."

Shemona and elsewhere were
trying to sabotage the good
relations between Arabs and
Jews in Israel and on the
West Bank and the Mideast
peace talks. But he urged
that despite the atmosphere
created by such • incidents,
"don't generalize about
Arabs." He noted that Jews
for the past 1,000 years have
suffered more from Chris-
tians than from Moslems.
Eliav noted that all Israeli
"doves" will fight to main-

they want to find a compro-
