THE =DETROIT JEWISH NEWS 46—Friday, October 25, 1974 Vienna Protests Emigrant Camp Myth of 'Sinister' Temples' Fight Spiralino- rf, Costs VIENNA (JTA)—More than 600 people of a Vienna sub- urb have signed a protest resolution asking for the re- moval of a transit camp for Jewish emigrants from the Soviet Union. People living near the camp in the densely popu- lated suburb of Simmering complained t h a t Austrian authorities sb far did not announce any date when the camp will be removed. A Red Cross official said there are no reasons to move the camp. Neighbors started protest actions when the Jewish camp was moved to a form- er Simmering children's home. Vienna Mayor Leopold REV. HERSH!. TII• Gratz reacted by promising to relocate the camp. But the Ministry of Inte- rior has not answered the mayor's five-point alternate proposals. The Austrian Red Cross transferred the transit camp without previous an- nouncement from a former army barracks at Woellers- dorf, 25 miles south of Vienna, to the Vienna sub- urb in September. The camp is run under the supervision of the Austrian Red Cross which is respons- ible for the emigrants after Chancellor Br u n o Kreisky closed a Jewish Agency camp at Schoenau last year. Residents of the suburb have protested that the camp could be a target for Arab terrorists, and endangers the surrounding community.

N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N By MARTIN BUBER in "Israel and the World" The Jewish people was, in- deed, always a "sinister" homeless specter. This peo- ple, which resisted inclusion in any category, a resistance which the other peoples could never become quite accus- tomed to, was always the first victim of fanatical mass movements (the Crusades of the 11th Century for in- stance). It was branded as the cause of mass misfor- tunes ("the Jew is respon- sible fqr the 'Black Death'"). No nifibir how hard it tried, it never quite succeeded in adjusting to its environment. (The Inquisition followed up- on Marranism.) When I say that the na- tions regard us as a specter —and this myth is symbol- ized in the form of the wan- dering Jew — we must dis- tinguish between being and appearance. We ourselves know very well that we are not specters, but a living community, and so we must ask ourselves what our non- classifiability really signifies. Is it due merely to a lack of vision and insight on the part of the nations? Is it that we can be fitted into a system, only they are not able to do it? Is this resistance of ours to classification merely a negative phenomenon, one that is temporary? Does it simply mean that we cannot be classified until—at some future time—we are? We have only one way to apprehend the positive meaning of this negative phe- nomenon: the way of faith. From any viewpoint other than faith, our inability to fit into a category would be in- tolerable, as something coun- ter to history and counter to nature. But from the view- point of faith, our inability to fit into a category is the foundation and meaning of our living avowal of the uniqueness of Israel. We would differentiate this uniqueness from the general uniqueness we attribute to every group and each indi- vidual. The uniqueness of Is- rael signifies something which in its nature, its his- tory, and its vocation is so individual that it cannot be classified.

Hearing this, one of them said, "Be pleased, then, Sir, to aid me in this hour of need." "In what way?" asked the emperor. "I have a ship becalmed three miles out at sea, and it contains all I possess." "Very well," Hadrian said. "I will send a fleet to rescue it." "Why bother to do that?" asked the courtier. "Send merely a little puff of wind." "But whence am I to get the wind?" "If you do not know," the courtier retorted, "then how can you be God who created the wind?" Hadrian went home highly displeased. — Tanhuma Bere- shit. NEW YORK—The Union of American Hebrew Congrega- tions has launched a massive. assistance campaign to help Reform congregations cope with economic crisis. The program is designed to produce additional funds and membership as well as pooling resources and pro- grams. At a meeting of the UAHC's board of trustees, Rabbi Alexander M. Schindler, UAHC president, told the 180 members that both profes- sionals and lay leaders must join to aid the movement's Dayan Defines West Bank Plan TEL AVIV (JTA) — For- mer Defense Minister Moshe Dayan unveiled his own plan for the West Bank last Sat- urday which, he said, envis- ioned neither annexation nor the return of any of the ter- rktory to Arab sovereignty. Dayan spoke to 200 mem- bers of the United Jewish Appeal Study Mission who ware guests at his home near Tel Aviv. Asked if his signing two weeks ago of a Likud petition opposing any territorial con- cessions on the West Bank would jeopardize his political career as a Labor Alignment MK, Dayan replied, "I did not think of Moshe Dayan. I thought of the West Bank even if it may undermine my career." He said he was speaking out on territorial matters be- cause he feared the govern- ment was displaying too great a readiness to give up territories for little or noth- ing in return in the way of a peace settlement. He said he did not insist that the Is- raeli flag be hoisted over the West Bank. But he opposed a Jordanian flag or even a Palestinian one. "We must demand three points," Dayan said. "No partition of the West Bank; our right to settle there; and no foreign armies there." He said that while the Is- raeli Army would defend the West Bank, Israel .would not intervene in the internal af- fairs of the West Bank inhab- itants, except in matters of security, and they would be free to send their represen- tatives to Jordan if they wished. Dayan said the A r abs might not accept his plan, but they accept no plan other than total Israeli withdrawal, and they are not even pre- pared to offer peace in ex- change for that, he said.
