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."
