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 ;caddish, or to some form of permanent tribute in the names of persons dear to you.

Address- ing the United Nations Gen- eral Assembly on its first day of debate over Israeli settlements in. occupied Arab territories, Israel's ambassador to the UN, Chaim Herzog, presented a comprehensive legal argu- ment claiming that Israeli settlements are legal and do not violate international conventions regarding occu- pied territories. Herzog said that in the 1967 war when Israel repelled Jordanian forces "they ousted from those ter- ritories not the armies of the 'legitimate sovereign' but illegal invaders who enjoyed at the most the rights of an occupier." Her- zog argued that Jordan uni- laterally annexed the West Bank in 1950 and that has no basis of validity in- inter- national law. Therefore, he said, Israel is not effected by the provi- sions of the Fourth Geneva Convention and Israel "can- not be considered an `occupying power'‘ within the meaning of the Conven- tion in any-part of the for- mer Palestine Mandate including Judaea and Samaria." Herzog added that the Fourth Geneva Convention and the Hague Regulations lore•••••••••••osio••••••••••••- • •• The fashionably dressed_ man • 6 4 ), always wears a hat. O. • S. • • • • • • • .

As to the accusation by the Arabs and others that the Jewish set- tlements are an obstacle to peace, Herzog said the statement that Israeli set- tlements among one and a quarter million Arabs is an obstacle to peace is a lie. To say so is to engage in a cyn- ical falsification of history." He noted that from 1948 to 1967 Israel did not establish settlements in Judaea and Samaria, Gaza, the Golan Heights or Sinai "because we were not there. There was no such obstacle from 1948-1967. Did the Arabs talk about peace or negotiate peace?" he asked. He charged that the settle- ments issue is a tool of Arab propaganda against Israel and their "stubborn refusal to negotiate with Israel, whose destruction many of - them seek." Observers here viewed Wednesday's debate as the opening of an intensive Arab offensive against Israel which could result in the complete isolation of Israel when the resolution condemning it will come to a vote. Sources here said that Washington "is not unassociated" in this attack and added that the Carter Administration, by joining the condemnation of Israel, wants to indicate to Ameri- can Jewish groups that Israel is utterly isolated. The sources said that when the resolution is voted on, possibly in the next few days, Israel will be the only UN member to- vote against it. In New York, Israel's for- mer deputy premier and foreign minister Yigal Allon sharply criticized the Likud government for failing to coordinate major aspects of foreign policy with the United States government. But he agreed in principle with Likud's contention that Jewish settlements on the West Bank were legal although he faulted the gov- ernment for resorting to publicity "fanfare" in estab- lishing them. Anon, who addressed the first of a series of public .affairs programs sponsored by the Labor Zionist Move- ment Coordinating Com- mittee at the Barbizon Plaza Hotel here last Satur- day night, said "The settle- ments are not illegal. The question is not the legality of them but the political, strategic and moral consid- erations and a responsible government should think about where and when to settle them." He said new settlements should be established in uninhabited, strategic areas of the West Bank along the lines of the Allon Plan which he authored after the Six-Day War. In Jerusalem, Prof. Raa- nan Weitz, head of the World Zionist Organiza- tion's settlement depart- ment, Monday sharply criti- zed the government's settlement policy and charged that the Cabinet's decision to set up an inde- pendent ministerial settle- ment committee was intended to bypass the joint government-WZO com- mittee and confront it with fait accompli. He said any settlement not approved by the joint committee would be regarded as illegal. He said the settlement 11 RALPH YAMRON'S Orchestra Duo, Trio & Quartet Music For All Occasions 968-0021 budget must be approved and allocated by the settle- ment department and any other budget is illegal. He also said the settlement department will not deal with settlements in military camps. (Formerly The Joe Miller Orchestra) GREENE BROS ■ Announces Its W.
