Philanthropic Conference Becomes Pro-PLO Rally
JERUSALEM (JTA) — A
Palestinian conference on
philanthropic matters that
turned into a pro-Palestine
Liberation Organization
rally in East Jerusalem
over the weekend has Is-
raeli officials angered and
puzzled over how to deal
with such political manifes-

tations in the future.
The conference, or-
ganized by Dr. Amin Al
Hatib, head of the Union of
Charitable Organizations
in East Jerusalem, was bil-
led as a discussion of the
problem of philanthropic
agencies on the West Bank
and East Jerusalem.
It opened Friday at the
East Jerusalem YMCA
with a march of children
wearing Tee shirts im-
printed with the Palesti-
nian flag, singing
nationalist songs that re-
ferred to "arab Palestine"

and "Arab Jerusalem." It
closed yesterday with at-
tacks on Israel, calls for a
Palestinian state under
PLO leadership and denun-
ciation of the autonomy
plan for the West Bank and
Gaza Strip.
Few of the speakers at
the three-day gathering
restricted themselves to
charitable issues.
Entertainment by a
group of children de-
picted Israeli soldiers
suppressing Palestinian
demonstrators. A girls'
choir sang songs of love
for "Arab Jerusalem." A
dance team waved scarfs
dyed black, white, red
and green, the colors of
the Palestinian flag. The
audience rose for two
minutes of silence in
memory of the "holy war-
riors" who fell.
Most of the pro-PLO
mayors of West Bank towns
were in the audience, nota-
bly Bassam Shaka of Nab-
lus and Fahed Kawasme of
Hebron along with pro-
-Jordan Mayor Elias Freij of
Bethlehem and Anwar
Nusseiba, former Defense
Minister of Jordan. Israeli
officials were particularly
disturbed by the presence of
foreign consular officials in-
cluding the U.S. The latter
said he came because he was
invited and rejected any
political significance in his
presence.
Israel normally bans
events of this type. But the
West Bank Military Gov-
ernment did not interfere,
partly because the confer-
ence was billed as social and
philanthropic and partly

because it was held in East
Jerusalem where the Mili-
tary Government has rio
jurisdiction. Officials at
the Prime Minister's Office
explained that the Pre-
mier's adviser on Arab af-
fairs took no action because,
traditionally, he deals only
with Arabs living within Is-
rael's pre-1967 borders.
Asked by reporters to
comment on the political
coloration of the conference,
Hatib said "We did not in-
tend to have any political
expressions but I do not re-
gret that these took place.
This is the way the people
express themselves."
Aliya Center in Catskills Open
operated in conjunction
with the Israel Aliya De-
partment, the Jewish
Agency and the North
American Aliya Movement.
The center, which shares
the premises with the
Jewish Identity Center; will
show films and hold semi-
nars and lectures through-
out the summer. In addi-
tion, there is a Holocaust
exhibit and literature deal-
ing with the proliferation of
hate groups and anti-
Semitic activity in the
United States.
WOODBOURNE, N.Y.
(JTA) — Jewish residents
and vacationers in this
Catskill Mountains corn-
munity have something
new in their midst. An Is-
rael aliya center was opened
in a storefront on Main
Street and the center's
spokespeople, Shifra
Hoffman, executive director
of Shuva, and Jay Shapiro,
an emissary from Israel,
have been busy buttonhol-
ing Jews with literature
urging emigration to Israel.,
According to Mrs.
Hoffman, the center is being
Anti-Terrorist
Amendment
OKd by Senate
WASHINGTON (JTA) —
The Senate has approved an
amendment to the Export
Administration Act that
would prohibit the U.S.
from exporting to countries
that demonstrated a pat-
tern of support for interna-
tional terrorism or any
goods or technology that
could contribute to such
countries' military poten-
tial or enhance their ability
to support acts of interna-
tional terrorism.
The amendment also pro-
vides for suspension of such
a ban by the President if he
deems it to be in the inter-
ests of national security.
The amendment, ap-
proved last Saturday, was
introduced by Sen. Jacob
Javits (R-NY). He observed,
It is a fact that three coun-
tries are now named by the
Department of State as aid-
ing and abetting interna-
tional terrorism. The coun-
tries are Iraq, South Yemen
and Libya." Javits noted,
however, that other coun-
tries could be added to this
list or removed depending
upon their behavior with
respect to international ter-
rorism
The amendment was co-
sponsored by Sens. Ab-
raham Ribicoff JD-Conn.)
and Carl Levin (D-Mich.).
