Who Would Have Thought?

By DAVID SCHWARTZ

(Copyright 1977, JTA, Inc.)

Hollywood, we are told,
will soon begin work on a
moving picture about
Israeli Premier Menahem
Begin and it is working
also on a picture about
Dayan.
Foreign ,Minister
Minister Moshe
would have
thought it? Why are there
no pictures about the Arab
leaders...Jews all of a
sudden so popular...it's nice
of course. Why is it?
Another thing those polls.
Public opinion experts have
been going around with
their pencils—Who do you
favor, Arabs or
Israelis...What do they
find? Prof. Seymour Martin
Lipset of Stanford
University and Prof.
William Schneider of
Harvard, have been
studying the results and in
a current magazine, they
write:
"There has never been a
poll which has found more
support for the Arabs than
for the Israelis, no matter
how the question has been
asked."
The only polls favoring
the Arabs seems to be the
ones in the United Nations.
Why is public opinion on
the side of Israel?
The main reason, I think,
is that a majority of
Americans are Zionists: I
don't mean that they sing
Hatikva or even have heard
of it, but they think that if
the Moslems have 20 or so
countries. the Jews are
entitled to one little country
and that is all that Zionism
basically means. There is a
bit of a sense of justice in
every person. As old John
Adams used to say, no man

Spektor Leads Israel Tour

Thirty-four Michigan travel agents jointed a tour to -Israel
sponsored by El Al Israel Airlines and the Israel Govern-
rni– Tourist office. On the tour, led by Ami Spektor, El

acquainted with the historical and biblical sights, as well as
with resorts, Jerusalem and other points of interest in the
country. Pictured in first row, from left, are: John Holmes,

can wholly extinguish his
conscience.
The world also knows
that Jerusalem is a Jewish
city and for the Arabs to
claim it or even to claim
East Jerusalem as their
own is like the Jews
claiming to own Cairo or
east Cairo.
Also, there is the.
religious factor. When
Lloyd George announced
the promulgation of the
Balfour Declaration, some
members of Parliament
strongly opposed it. Lloyd
George invited them to
have breakfast with him on
the following morning.
When the time came,
Lloyd' George called for his
secretary to hand him the
Bible and he began to read
the various prophecies
about the re-establishment
of the Jewish state. When
he finished, Lloyd George
said, "You see, I can do
nothing about it. It is all
here foretold."
A few weeks ago, a large
Christian organization ran
advertisements in the
general press supporting
Israel.
.There is also a sporting
factor. Little Israel has
won the admiration of the
world for the courage to
stand up against a whole
array of enemies. The little
fellow who can hold his
own and knock out the big
guy has always fascinated
the world. I call it .a
sporting factor, inspiring
all in the battle of
life. There is also the
drama side. The revival of
a land after 2,000 years is
quite a drama.
Maybe the Arab oil
monopoly hasn't benefitted
the Arabs in the polls. Our
anti-trust laws forbid
business houses getting
together to fix prices. When
Arab countries get together .
to fix oil prices, it is just
as monopolitic.
Finally, I think, public
opinion favors Israel from
the common sense point of
view, seeing in the
development of Israel a
step in the general
development of the world
and especially of the
Middle East which has
been one of the most
lagging areas and sadly
needs new forces. The late
King Abdullah of
Transjordan held this view
and perhaps Mr. Sadat
shares it.

Swiss Leaves Post
of Pro-Israel Unit

GENEVA (JTA)—Pierre
Auber, who was appointed
Foreign Minister last
month, has resigned from
his post as president of the
Swiss-Israel Friendship As-
sociation.
When Auber's name as
candidate was brought up
he was attacked even by
members of his own party
who declared that Auber
was identified as pro-Israel
and could not be Foreign
Minister of a neutral coun-
try like Switzerland.

One may tell the truth—
even to one's father.

Gush Hope Begin Sticks to His Guns

WASHINGTON (JTA)—
Yedidya Atlas, a spokesman
for the Gush Emunim, who
has been visiting many Jew-
ish communities in the
United States and Canada,
said that the Gush members
hope that Premier Men-
ahem Begin of Israel will
"abide by his principles"
regarding West Bank settle-
ments.
He stated that the Gush
Emunim will demonstrate
its position and "we hope it
is still Begin's position that
Judea and Samaria are in-
tegral parts of Israel. It is
the heartland of the land of
Israel and we cannot give
up the heartland of Israel.
NOV one would expect us to
give up Tel Aviv or Haifa or
Jerusalem, and Judea and
Samaria are rio less impor-
tant to the people of Israel
than these cities. In fact,
Judea and Samaria are his-
torically more important
than Tel Aviv or Haifa."
Atlas said that historical-
ly, the Jews are the Palesti-
nians but "we understand
the plight of those people
who are now living under
military rule and we do not
think that it is a bad idea to
have local municipal auton-
omy."
