flatly, "There is no such
thing as all or nothing."
The President sum-
moned the House Inter-
national Relations Corn-
mittee to the White House
last week and met with
the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee to press
for approval of the air-
craft package.
Sen. Alan Cranston ( D-
Calif.), the Senate Majority
Whip, said after the meet-
ing that the Carter Ad-
ministration will not for-
mally submit the package
proposal until after the Se-
nate completes action on the
second Panama Canal Tre-
aty which is expected on
April 29.
Both houses of Congress
must disapprove of the sale
within 30 days of its formal
presentation in order to
block all or any part of it.
Rep. Jonathan Bingham
(D-NY) and Sen. Charles
Percy (R-III.) questioned the
validity of Saudi Arabia's
stated need for 60 F-15 jet
fighters for "defensive"
purposes.
Percy said that "deep
questioning" exists among
Senators over the package
"because of the conflict" in
Saudi statements as to
whether its need is "entirely
defensive" as the Saudi
"royal family" has been tel-
ling the U.S.

JERUSALEM (JTA1 —
The number of applications

for gun permits has in-
creased by 400 to 500 per-
cent since the terrorist car-
nage March 11.
Most of the applications
are for pistols and the ten-
dency by the Interior Minis-
try is to approve most of the
applications. The number of
applications in Tel Aviv
rose from an average of 50 to
300 and in Haifa it rose from
15 to 200 per month.
In addition, there has also
been a growing demand far
the import of arms for pri-
vate use. The Interior
Ministry recently approved
the import of some 1,800
guns, but it is already clear
that this quantity will not
meet the growing demand..

TEL AVIV — During the
last two years, 759 babies of
Arab Lebanese women from
southern Lebanon were
born in Israeli hospitals.
More than 2,500 wounded
Lebanese received treat-
ment and 50 sick persons
received blood transfusions
from the Israeli blood bank
during this time.
Kibutz Shamir in Galilee
invited the political council-
lor and spokesman of the
Christians in southern
Lebanon Francis Rizak to
an evening of questions and
answers. He was joined by
two Arab nurses who are

people at the "Good Fence"

Rizak praised the
humanitarian and medi-
cal help of Israel. He
strongly criticized the
French government, the
so-called patron of Leba-
non, for its indifference
to the mass-murder of
Christians in Lebanon.
He also attacked the Vat-
ican, which also did not
reply to his appeal for
help.

It looks as if the French
and the Vatican have
"drunk too much oil," Rizak
said. "They do not see the
happenings in Lebanon.
They do not see how the Sy-
rians are murdering Christ-
ians in order to dominate
Lebanon and turn it into a
Syrian province," he said.

Rizak said that without
help from Israel the
Lebanese Christians would
not have survived.

Esmail Admit s Libya Visit

TEL AVIV — Michigan
State University student
Sami Esmail admitted in an
Israeli court this week that
he visited Libya in 1976, but
claimed he was invited as
an intellectual and did not
undergo terrorist training.
Esmail claimed in court
that he signed a confession
under duress; that he was
punched, had his hair pul-
led, was forced to undress
and was spat upon.
He claimed he was told
that he would not see his
dying father unless he con-
fessed.
The Israeli prosecu-
tion, which has charged
him with being a member
of the outlawed Popular
Front for the Liberation
of Palestine, has three
separate confessions
signed by Esmail and the
testimony of American
consular officials to show
that he was not abused
into confessing.
Last week, two attorneys
interested in the case dis-
counted reports of "torture"
being spread in the U.S. by
supporters of Esmail and
also criticized the suppor-
ters' denials that Esmail
had ever been in Libya.
Morton Freedman, a pro-
fessor of law at Hofstra Col-
lege and a national board
member of the American
Civil Liberties Union, had
his trip to Israel paid for by
the Lansing Jewish Welfare
Federation.
Detroit attorney Ernest
Goodman, representing
the often pro-Arab Na-
tional Lawyers Guild and
Esmail's defense commit-
tee, said it was an ac-
cepted fact that Esmail
had been in Libya and
that he saw no evidence
that Esmail had been tor-
tured. He said such
statements hurt the
committee's credibility.
Esmail's defenders are
now basing his defense on
the claim that he was de-
nied an attorney for several
days and that the U.S. Fed-

Arms Package
Protest Asked

Editor, The Jewish News:
Shortly after Easter re-
cess, Congress will be pre-
sented with President Car-
ter's plan to sell F-15 war
planes to Saudi Arabia and
F-5s to Egypt. So far there
have been only a few pro-
tests by the Jewish com-
munity.
Congress will have one
month to debate the pac-
kage. I urge all members of
the Detroit area Jewish
community to write their
congressmen immediately,
recommending that the
plan be defeated in its pre-
sent form. Salia plan sets a
dangerous precedent which
will be difficult to rescind in
the future.
The committees dealing
with the sale of these war
planes are: the Senate
Foreign Relations Commit-
tee, Washington, D.C.
20515, and the House In-
ternational Relations
Committee, Washington,
D.C. 20515.

Kahane Protests
at U.S. Embassy

TEL AVIV — Rabbi Meir
Kahane, former head of the
Jewish Defense League in
the U.S., forced his way into
the U.S. Embassy in Tel
Aviv on Tuesday to protest
President Carter's Middle
East policies.
His group unfurled ban-
ners proclaiming, "Don't
Mess With the People of the
Bible" and "We Are Not a
Banana Republic."
The group demanded to
speak to U.S. Ambassador
Samuel Lewis, but left after
talking to the Embassy's
second secretary." '
