— Presidential counsel
Robert J. Lipshutz told
the annual meeting of the
Zionist Organization of
America's executive
committee last weekend
that "a large percentage
of'the Palestinian people
feel they have been de-
prived of their rights and
whether such an attitude
is justified or not, we
would ignore this situa-
tion at our peril."
Lipshutz, who is one of
President Carter's closest
advisers and presides
over White House staff
meetings, stated, "The
resolution of this problem
is of utmost importance to
the state of Israel, to the
Arab countries, to the
United States and indeed
to the world."
Emphasizing he was
reflecting "my own per-
sonal thoughts," Lip-
shutz said he fouhd "im-
portant analogies" be-
tween the feelings of the
Hanafi Moslems who last
week seized three build-
ings here and held 134
persons as hostages for 39
hours and the "hundreds
of millions of people in
this world, particularly
Africa and Asia" who
"feel they are deprived \ of
an equal opportunity to
life as compared with
other peoples of the
world."
He noted that the
Hanafis have "a belief that
our system has not prop-
erly rendered justice" for
the 1973 slayings of the
- wife and children of the
Hanafi leader, Khalifa
Hamaas Khaalis, by what
the Hanafis claim was a
rival Muslim group.
Lipzhutz drew atten-
tion to the participation
of the ambassadors of
Egypt, Pakistan and, Iran
and "the deep religious
beliefs of the person
(Khaalis) who held our
people captive."
He suggested that
while in the past "deep re-
ligious convictions might
have been the basis for
strife between persons of
different beliefs," they
"might well become a
common bond" and bring
together all "of the people
of the world."
In another address at
the meeting which
marked the ZOAs 80th.
anniversary, Rep. Cle-
ment Zablocki (D-Wis.),
chairman of the House
International Relations
Committee, urged a
three-point program. for
the Middle East, includ-
ing a formal American
security commitment to
Israel. He urged that the
U.S. scale down its sale of
arms to the Mideast and
that peace efforts "com-
plement the reduction."
In addition, Zablocki
suggested an economic
development bank for the
area by a consortium, in-
eluding the Arab states.
The Palestinian question,
he said "is the heart of the
conflict and will not go
away," adding that "unless
the issue is faced by all
sides unemotionally it will
not be solved."
ZOA committee mem-
bers peppered both Lip-
shutz and Zablocki with
questions, some tinged
with criticism.
Rabbi Joseph P. Sterns-
tein, ZOA president, said
the latest U.S. expres-
sions on Mideast policy by
President Carter and the
State- Department "can
only lead to confusion."
He urged the Administ-
ration, Congress and the
American public to
"firmly dispel the myth of
the Palestinians as a his-
torical and national en-
tity and to reject the con-
cept of yet another Arab
state located between Is-
rael and Jordan."
Declaring that it is "ab-
solutely necessary" to
"convey the truth of the
American Jewish com-
munity's overwhelming
support" of Israel's posi-
tion of rejecting negotia-
tions with the terrorists,
Sternstein obse d,
"Unless we do this,
will be a continued e oi-
tation of a fictionalized
division in our ranks."
