justified "because innocent
people have a right to live
and be rescued from terror-
ists who recognize no law
and are ready to kill if their
demands are not met."
Conceding, however, that
"there was a temporary
breach of the territorial sov-
ereignty of Uganda," Scran-
ton said that under the cir-
cumstances the first
responsibility of the Israeli
government was "to protect
her citizens, hostages
threatened with their very
lives, in mortal danger in a
far away place." Scranton
detailed the agony of the
SMALL BEQUESTS
BUILD A
STRONG ISRAEL
If the tradition of including the Jewish
National Fund in the Will of every Jew were
invariably followed, sufficient resources would
be accumulated to ensure the future of the
young Jewish State on a sound basis of land
development, social welfare, and justice.
A bequest to the Jewish National Fund
should be as traditional as having a Blue Box
in one's home.
You may want your bequest to be
dedicated to afforestation, to a village, a
Nachlah, to a children's play area, to perpetual
yahrzeit or kaddish, or to some form of
permanent tribute in the names of persons'
dear to you.
Consult the Foundation for Jewish
National Fund, 22100 Greenfield, 968-0820.
They will gladly co-operate with you in
working out plans to meet your special
requirements, in strict privacy.
hostages held at Entebbe
Airport in Uganda, a coun-
try "whose head of state had
rejoiced at the slaying of
Israeli athletes at Munich,
called for the extinction of
Israel, and praised that
madman, Hitler."
The American envoy
called on the Security
Council to adopt strong
measures against interna-
tional terrorism and hi-
jacking. He said he be-
lieved the Council can do
"a great deal" to prevent
terrorism which endan-
gers "peace and security
in the world today."
The rescue effort was also
defended by West German
Ambassador Rudiger von
Wechmar, who said his gov-
ernment was greatly re-
lieved when the hostages
were freed. He added, how-
ever, "we deeply regret the
loss of life that occurred," as
a result of the rescue opera-
tion."
Terming the hijacking of
the Air-France jet nothing
"but a criminal act," Wech-
mar called for action in the
up-coming General Assem-
bly against international
terrorism.
A second draft resolution
was introduced to the Coun-
cil by Ambassador Salim
Ahmed Salim of Tanzania
demanding that the Council
condemn Israel's "flagrant
violation of Uganda's sover-
eignty and territorial integ-
rity," and requesting Israel
to compensate Uganda for
damages caused by the res-
cue raid.
A resolution by the U.S.
and Britain called on the
Council to condemn hi-
jacking and all other acts
of international terrorism.
The African draft was one
vote shy of the nine needed
for passage, and also faced a
U.S. veto.
The Tanzania resolution
was abandoned for lack of
support on Wednesday, and

Israel's Herzog termed this
a "vindication of Israel."
The resolution opposing
hijacking mustered only the
favoring votes of the U.S.,
Britain, Japan, Sweden,
France and Italy.
Romania and Panama
abstained on the question
and the Soviet Union,
Tamzania, Benin, Guyana,
Libya and Pakistan did not
vote.
Both Britain and Sweden
strongly supported the U.S.
during the opening debate.
U.S. State Department ex-
perts said that Israel's raid
was justifiable under inter-
national law and that the
use of U.S.-made equipment
was therefore not a violation
of the Foreign Military
Sales Act.
Secretary of State Henry
A. Kissinger last week rei-
terated the urgency for an
international convention to
curb aerial hijacking.
Kissinger noted "It is very
difficult to establish a gen-
eral rule in a situation like
this. Clearly, the attack on
an airport ,is an unprece-
dented act, but equally clear
is that the hijacking of air-
liners, the holding of 100
innocent people for ransom
in a situation where the host
government, at a minimum,
proved impotent to enforce
any accepted international
law, indicates that we face
here a new international
problem."
He said, "For many
years we have failed in
this effort. We believe that
it is essential that some in-
ternational arrangement
be made to deal with ter-
rorism because it cannot
be tolerated that innocent
people become the play-
things of international
thugs."
Premier Rabin and for-
mer U.S. Ambassador to the
UN Daniel P. Moynihan
echoed Kissinger's state-
ment against terrorism, as
did the European Parlia-
ment meeting in Brussels.
In Jerusalem, meanwhile,
members of the Knesset's
Foreign Affairs and Secu-
rity Committee have com-
plained to Premier Yitzhak
Rabin over the disclosure of
top secret details of the July
3 Uganda rescue operation
by Chief of Staff Gen. Mor-
dechai Gur.
Gur said the Israeli res-
cue force included paratrop-
pers, infantrymen, mem-
bers-of the crack Golani
Brigade, communications
and ordnance men. He said
33 doctors participated, ei-
ther at Entebbe airport or
at other stations.
Gur also disclosed that
the entire operation was
rehearsed the night before
it took place and that the
rehearsal lasted two min-
utes longer than the actual
rescue operation which
was completed in 53 min-
utes. Four of the Air
France hijackers, includ-
ing the German man and
woman were killed within
45 seconds of the Israeli
landing and three other
terrorists were killed a few
seconds later.
Finally, Gur said that the
decision to land at Nairobi,
Kenya before returning to
Israel was made at the last
minute in order to hospital-
ize the wounded. "We forced
ourselves on the Kenyans,"
he said.
Reports in the Ameri-
can. Israeli and European
press have given conflict-
ing details of how Israel
accomplished its daring
raid at Entebbe. The var-
ious reports say that Israel
used either three or four
aircraft, that agents infil-
trated Uganda, that the
U.S. provided satellite re-
conaissance, that the Is-
raelis used a Mercedes car
with a soldier in black-
face impersonating Amin,
and that the Israeli planes
landed in Nairobi, Kenya
both before and after the
Entebbe raid.
Other than Gur's disclo-
sures, the Israelis have kept
a tight lid on exact details of
the operation.
Meanwhile, Uganda Pres-
ident Idi Amin has given
conflicting statements on
his own attitude over the
attack.
Lt. Col. (Res.) Baruch
Barley, former head of the
Israeli military training
mission in Uganda, con-
firmed that he had received
a telephone call from Amin
over the weekend in the
course of which Amin con-
gratulated Israel.
Amin also vowed that he
was finished with the Pales-
tinian terrorists and asked
Barley to relay a request to
the Israeli government for
military spare parts. But he
refused to discuss the
whereabouts of Mrs. Dora
Bloch.
ELECT
Amin was apparently
serious in his request for
spare parts for Israel-
made tanks, half tracks
and mortars in the Ugan-
dan army, Barley said.
Last week the American
Jewish Congress said that
United Nations Secretary
General Kurt Waldheim has
"disqualified" himself for
re-election to that post by
intimating that Israel's res-
cue action at Entebbe vio-
lated Ugandan sovereignty
and suggested "a call for his
prompt resignation."
Those words were echoed
by the Zionist Organizatinn
of America, which ),
praised Kenya for ai
Israel.
