ABC News Will Televise
PLO Terror Documentary

Envoy Pledges Uruguay Vandals Will Be Caught

.

the scenes of Palestinian
violence are included.
The program shows, re-
portedly for the first time on
television, close-up views
and interviews with a
Palestinian terrorist leader
in southern Lebanon, Abu
Jihad, and other terrorists
training for "suicide mis-
sions" inside Israel.
According to the
documentary, Weitz, who
agreed to speak with Clarke
after Sharon refused, de-
clared, "we cannot escape
from a historic fact," that
while Israel created "land
out of marshes," Israel
, "used Arab land for our sur-
vival. The problem and the
issue is a clash between two
justices."
Weitz is quoted alai as
saying "we had to live" and
the Palestinians "had to re-
gain their dignity and their
national self-expression,
and the answer for such a
situation is a painful com-
promise. There is no escape
from that."
Abu Hassan, whose real
name is believed to be Has-
san Ali Salmeh, and who Is-
raeli and Western intelli-
gence experts reportedly
consider responsible for
"black September" terrorist
attacks in Europe and
elsewhere, appears on the
program to predict that
"American targets in the
Middle East" will be victims
of a campaign of posteCamp
David terrorism which he
said is now being organized
by PLO elements.

NEW YORK (JTA) —
Acting on reports on anti-
Semitic violence in
Uruguay during the High
Holy Days, the Anti-
Defamation League of Bnai
Brith has disclosed it had
obtained assurances from
Uruguay's ambassador to
the United States that those
responsible would be ap-
prehended.
According to ADL's Latin
American affairs director,
Rabbi Morton M. Rosent-
hal, who met with Ambas-
sador Jose Perez Caldas in
Washington, said a bomb
destroyed the door of one of
Uruguay's largest Jewish
congregations, Vaad Leisuk
Hadat in Montivedeo only
-hours after the conclusion of
Yom Kippur services. Three
days later vandals defaced a
Jewish cemetery with
anti-Semitic slogans and
swastikas.
Rosenthal said these
latest incidents follow a
series of anti-Jewish at-
tacks last April which
caused wide concern
within the Uruguayan
Jewish community, the
third largest in South
America.
At • that
time,
a
synagogue, school and home
for the aged were defaced

with swastikas and win-
dows were shattered. In an-
other attack, shots were
fired at several Jewish in-

ward the education of his

NEW YORK (JTA) —
The American Broadcast-
ing Corp. will televise an
hour-long documentary on
the Palestine Liberation
Organization and its sup-
porters, "Terror in the
Promised Land," at 8 p.m.
Monday (WXYZ-TV, Ch. 7).
The documentary was
made by Malcolm Clarke, a
writer-producer-on the ABC
staff, according to Richard
—„ Richter, senior producer of
\the ABC documentary unit.
He told the. Jewish Tele-
graph Agency that there
had been no special reason
for selection of the Oct. 30
date, other.. than the
documentary was ready and
the time slot was available.
Richter said the program
deals with the role of the
PLO, which he described as
involving a problem that is
"perennial" in the Middle
East situation and "often
not dealt with <in depth" on
the media. N
Richter said that while
the 'program was designed
to focus on an analysis of the
"Palestinian problem," it
did include interviews with
Israelis including Ranaan
Weitz, co-chairman of • the
settlement department of
the World Zionist Organiza-
tion. He confirmed a report
that Ariel Sharon, Israel's
agriculture minister and
leading advocate of Jewish
settlement in . the occupied
territories, declined an invi-
tation to participate in the
documentary. •
Richter said the pro-
gram also included some
documentary scenes de-
picting the Holocaust to
indicate the pressures on
Israel in the development
of its policies.
In the introduction to the
documentary, Frank
Reynolds, a leading ABC
newscaster, declares that
the program deals with "a
tragic reality," about
"Palestinian men and
women who resort to vio-
lence to advance their polit-
ical cause. The violenc'e is
often inflicted on innocent
victims, as well as on them-
selves, for the• insist they
are prepared to die to
achieve their goal."
"They also insist their
plight is not adequately un-
derstood or reported in this
country," Reynolds adds.
"ABC News sought them
out, in order to try to under-
stand why they chose to be-
come terrorists, to learn
what they believe. This pro-
gram is not about right and
wrong. It is about the Pales-
tinian perception of right
and wrong. It is an impor-
tant ingredient in an endur-
ing Middle East peace."
Reynolds also terms the
documentary one about "a
people whose existence
must not be denied — even
though the world condemns
the tactics and the terror
advocated by their leaders."
Richter said the
documentary carries a
warning to parents
suggesting parental
guidance in allowing
children to watch the
program because some of
