Violence Continues
on West Bank Area
TEL AVIV (JTA) —
Sporadic violence con-
tinued on the West Bank
in the aftermath . of the
events in Hebron.
A curfew imposed on
Nablus was lifted only to
be followed by a new
round of disturbances by
Arab students who
poured out of their class-
rooms to clash with bor-
der police.
Similar demonstra-
tions occurred in Tul-
karem where firemen
were occupied extin-
guishing blazing piles of
rubber tires while dodg-
ing stones-hurled by Arab
youths.
Trouble also broke out
anew in Jenin where the
local notables said they
were powerless to restore
order as long as the vol-
atile situation remained
in Hebron. A wave of de-
monstrations, tire-
burning and road bar-
ricades also took place in
Ramallah and in the
Balata refugee camp
near Nablus.

Jewish Facts
in Time Capsule
WILMINGTON, Del.
(JTA) — A Bicentennial
time capsule which in-
cluded material related to
Jewish . history was
buried Sept. 30 in Wil-
mington Square.
According to the Jewish
Historical Society of De-
laware, the capsule con-
tained "The History of
the Jews in Delaware" by
Rabbi M. ljavid Geffen
and the Jewish Historical
Soc.iety's publication
"Jewish Delaware: His-
tory, Sites, Communal
Services."
Arthur Krieger, chair
man of the event, also en
closed a mezuza in the
hope that there would be
peace for the world in the
next century.
FACING THE UN: Jewish organizations in this
country have no influence in the United Nations. They
are represented in the body for non-governmental in-
stitutions there, but the status of these institutions is
merely that of unofficial observers. Their accredited
representatives are provided with tickets for the UN
meetings and with any information they might re-
quire from the UN Secretariat, but their influence on
delegates is practically nil.
The American Jewish Committee, the American
Jewish Congress and the Anti-Defamation League of
Bnai Brith maintain observers at the UN all year
around. The alertness of these organizations will be
greater than ever during this session of the General
Assembly because the Arab delegations may produce
a resolution requesting the ousting of Israel from the
United Nations.
Not all Arab delegates are eager to have such a
resolution introduced, but extremist Arab countries —
like Libya — insist on it. Those among the Arabs who
are hesitant, fear that the debate at the Assembly on
such a resolution may open a Pandora's box against
Arab countries which tolerate the civil war in Leba-
non instigated by the Palestinian terrorist organiza-
tions after they entrenched themselves on Lebanese
•
soil.
THE LEBANON TRAGEDY: Experts in the Un-
ited Nations estimate that about 50,000 Arabs have
been killed in Lebanon since the civil war broke out
there between Christians and Moslem Arabs over a
year ago. This is more — perhaps three times more —
than the total nomber of Arab fallen on all the Arab-
Israeli fronts since the Arab countries declared their
war on Israel, in 1948.
With such a record of bloodshed initiated by the
Palestine Arab terrorists and tolerated, if not sup-
ported by Arab countries which side with the Pales-
tine Liberation Organization and other terrorist
groups of Palestine Arabs, the United Nations, as a
world peace organization, cannot remain inactive
after the gruesome facts of Lebanon's tragedy are
exposed from the tribune or its Assembly. This is what
some of the Arab nations "ear.
The Arab countries, aided by the Communist gov-
ernments, insist behind the scenes that the UN should
not take up the Lebanon problem. Dominated by the
Arab-Soviet blocs of countries, the UN is yielding to
this request. It takes the stand that the bloody de-
velopments in Lebanon are an internal affair of the
Arabs, and are therefore matter for the Arab League
to settle.
ISRAEL'S EXPECTATIONS: While the Assembly
will seek to avoid discussion on the tragedy of Leba-
non, its agenda provides sufficient place for vitupera-
tions against Israel. They will come like a torrent in
policy speeches delivered by delegates from Arab and
Communist countries as well as during the discussions
on the Middle East situation.
Israel is coming to the current session of the As-
sembly prepared for idea that there will be the usual
anti-Israel attacks there by the Arabs 'and by_ the
Soviet Union from the rostrum. However, Israel is also
coming to this Assembly with a record showing that
the Jewish state is far from being the "aggressor" for
which the Arabs and Moscow seek its expulsion from
the United Nations. Since the Assembly of last year
there has been complete quiet on the Israel-Egyptian,
Israel-Jordanian, Israel-Syrian fronts, and full coop-
eration on the part of .Israel to help the suffering
Lebanese population on the Lebanese-Israel frontier.
STAND OF U.S. JEWRY: American Jewish leader-
ship is certain that the United States will seek tp pro-
tect Israel at the Assembly from unwarranted hostile
acts. But the U.S. is only one of the 145 member-
countries voting in the Assembly.
Jewish leaders are also certain that American
public opinion will stand by Israel against vindictive
anti-Israel moves in the Assembly.
The Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare
Funds, the central body of,800 organized Jewish com-
munities in this country and Canada, has at a four-day
session last week, adopted a policy statement on the
Middle East. It emphasized that Israel has always
recognized that the Palestinian people have legiti-
mate interests and has offered repeatedly to make
substantial contributions toward bringing about a
solution of the problem of the Palestine Arabs within
the framework of a true Arab-Israel peace. However,
no Arab regime or movement has as yet formally 'rec-
ognized the legitimacy of Israel as an independent
state.
With this stand, the central organof the American
Jewish communities urged the United States to pro-
vide strong and consistent diplomatic support for Is-
,- rael both in international forums and in its dealings
with other nations in the Middle East. •
