The meeting, an annual event in behalf of Israel Bonds, netted $525,000 Bond purchases.

Sam Friedman, presi- dent of the Einstein Lodge, and Mrs. Joseph Klein, president of the Einstein Chapter, its women's affi- liate, were audience greet- ers who similarly afformed dedication to the cause of Israel's security. David Hermelin con- ducted the Bond enrollment portion of the meeting and presented awards to • mem- bers of the Israel Prime Minister's Club and Trus- tees, purchasers of $25,000 and $10,000 Bonds respec- tively. Begin called attention to the numerous threats from Arab extremists aimed at Israel's destruction. He quoted the aspiration of one Arab leader to force Israel to her knees, and he de- clared that Israel bends the knee only to God. With an emphatic decla- ration, "We want peace, we reject war and bloodshed," and deploring the heavy losses Israel sustained in the Yom Kippur War, Begin declared that Israel will never again be caught un- prepared. He presented a five-point program –for peace, commencing with an assertion that there must be "direct negotiations," that such procedures, practiced in conflicts by all,nations, must also be granted as a basic right to Israel. His other points in- cluded a strong plank guaranteeing just rights to Arabs who choose to be citizens of Israel, with full equality enjoyed by all. For those who do not de- sire to accept Israeli citi- zenship he proposed all just rights, without re- striction, except the privi- lege of voting for members of parliament, the Knes- set. His program called for recognition of Israel's right to Eretz Israel, the Land of Israel, as the state was known in ancient times. "We have come home," he - said, "to our land," and he said the term Palestine was an invention, a name im- posed on the land as an an- tagonism to the Jews to whom the Holy Land is sa- cred and a legacy never abandoned. Begin warned of the dan- gers that stem from Rus- sian influence and the effort by the USSR to dominate and control the entire Mid- dle East. He charged that Arafat is the agent of the Russian secret police and he declared that Soviet domi- nation will prove a menace to the entire world. Touching upon the pro- posal by Arafat for the crea- tion of a UN authority on the West Bank and in Gaza, Begin said it would prove disastrous for Israel to abandon Judea and Samaria because it would imme- , In Your Home cANdids • •• STATE ZIP state occasion FROM ❑ $10 enclosed diately open Israel to the danger of destruction from Russian-supplied long- range weapons. Begin likened the ene- mies who threaten Israel's existence to the aims of the Nazis, to the Ashmidai of Hitlerism, and he declared that Israel will reject any proposal to submit to sui- cide by accepting impossi- ble terms from enemies. "This is a crucial year," Begin declared. "All of us must wage a permanent campaign to assure Israel's economic position. What is needed is investment in Is- rael's economy. With the strength we can jointly provide for Israel we can overcome and prevent all dangers." The response of the gath- ered 200 dinner participants was a demonstration of faith and another re-affir- mation of "Never Again" to any form of threat to Jewish existence. Most of the Ein- stein Lodge members are survivors from the Nazi ter- ror and their solidarity for Israel annually expresses itself in efforts for Israel Bonds as well as related tasks in support of the Jew- ish state. Begin avoided discussing internal political Israeli af- fairs and devoted his ad- dress to analyses of the ex- isting situations and his appeal for American Je- wry's support for Israel. He stated, however, prior to his address, that there is internal tension involving the ruling party and he de- clared that the overwhelm- ing majority of Israelis fa- vor a national unity government to include all parties. Demands for a na- tional unity government have been made prior to the formation of the Rabin Cab- inet in Israel and consist- ently by leaders of the Zion- ist Organization of Amer- ica. w v SOL YETZ-MORRIS COHEN POST and AUXI- LIARYwill meet 9 p.m. TueSday at the JWV Memo- rial Home.
