As it is, Ophira is being
slowly constricted, accord-
ing to Yaakov Bar-Levi, one
of the organizers of the pro-
test. Another slice of Sinai
will be returned to Egypt
next Thursday and Ophira
fishermen who have oper-

Tortured Syrians Released
NEW YORK (JTA) —
Seven Jews in prison in
Syria have been released,
Abe Dwek, president of the
Committee for the Rescue of
Syrian Jewry reported last
week. He said at least one
Jew is still in prison.
Dwek said four of those
released are the brothers
Albert and Maurice Nus-
seiri; their cousin, Eli Nus-
seiri, and Nissim Zayyat.
He said the four men and
their families had escaped
pearls
to Lebanon when they were
abducted by Syrian agents
and returned to Damascus.
The men were jailed and
tortured, Dwek said.
He noted that Albert
Nusseiri was one of the Sy-
rian Jews interviewed by
Mike Wallace on CBS-TV's
"60 Minutes" three years
ago. He said that Nusseiri
said at that time that condi-
tions were good for Jews in
Syria and subsequently was
arrested for trying to leave
the country.
The three other Jews
released are teenage
brothers, Aaron, Moses
and Joseph Guindi.
Dwek said they had been
arrested three times,
twice in the last three
months, and tortured.
Dwek said the one Jew
still known to be in a Syrian
jail, is David Kabariti who
was arrested after trying to
get a visa to the U.S. He
charged that an official at
the U.S. Consulate in
Damascus turned over
Kabariti's false passport to
Syrian authorities.
Kabariti's parents and
sister are in the U.S. His sis-
ter, Sheila, was among the
Syrian women allowed to
come to the U.S. in July
1977, because Jewish .hus-
bands were not available in
Syria.
Dwek said his commit
has sent a cable to , DaNiu
Aaron, President Carter's
deputy assistant for na-
tional security affairs, urg-
ing him to ask Carter to ad-
vise Syrian President Hafez
Assad that the U.S. is pre-
pared to receive Syria's
4,500 Jews "as permanent
immigrants in this coun-
try."
Dwek noted that on the
"60 Minutes" program
Assad told Wallace that he
would allow Syrian Jews to
leave if they would emi-
grate to the U.S. and not go
to Israel.

NEW YORK (JTA) — A
grassroots coalition repre-
senting Christian and
Jewish views about the leg-
ality of West Bank settle-
ments has been formed in
New York.
. Calling itself the Ad Hoc
Committee for Settlement
in the Land of Israel, the
organization claims that
"strong; thriving and secure
Jewish settlements are the
only deterrent to other
claims on our land."
Rabbi David Hill, honor-
arr president of the Young
Israel movement and the
chairman of the coalition,
told the founding meeting
that the press has not
played an objective role in
regard to the issue of set-
tlements in Judea and
Samaria and stressed the
need for an on-going politi-
cal action coalition to spot-
light the view in favor of
settlements which he said
are held by. a significant
number of Christians and
Jews.
Prof. Paul Riebenfeld,
a visiting scholar in polit-
ical science and interna-
tional law at Columbia
University who was a
Zionist delegate to the
League of Nations Man-
dates Commission from
1937-1939, said Israel's
legal rights to settle the
entire area west of the
Jordan River were set
forth in the British Man-
date.
This, he said, is not ac-
knowledged by the press
which only refers to Judea
and Samaria as the biblical
names applied by Premier
Menahem Begin or the
Gush Emunim, thus
suggesting that these
names are not currently
applicable.
Riebenfeld noted that
Samaria was called
Samaria under the British
Mandate, that Gaza was
called the District of Gaza,
and Judea, of which
Jerusalem is a part, was
called the District of
Jerusalem. Thus, he said,
not only were the names
Judea and Samaria
validated by the . Mandate,
in addition to biblical
claims, but the Mandate
"translated Jewish histori-
cal rights into rights under
international law."
Shifra Hoffman, execu-
tive director of the Shuva
aliya movement, presented
a statement on behalf of the
National Christian Leader-
ship Conference, a coalition
of Catholic and other
American Christian lead-
ers, calling upon the Vati-
can to recognize Israel
"within secure boundaries"
and cited a statement by the
International Council of
Christian Churches con-
tending that the territories
secured by Israel in the
Six-Day War were liber-
ated" and that Israel simply
secured that which is prop-
erly hers."
Dr. Heskel Haddad,
president of the World
Organization of Jews
from Arab Countries,
who was forced to flee
Iraq 26 years ago because
of anti-Semitic persecu-
tion by the Iraqi govern-
ment, deplored the fact
that there is little world
recognition of the plig'
of those Jews who wei, _
forced to flee Arab coun-
tries and whose land and
property was confiscated
by Arab regimes.
Noting that these refu-
gees are now living in Is-
rael, he stressed that any
peace negotiations must
recognize their right to re-
ceive compensation for their
lands and property.
Bucket Brigade?
TEHERAN (ZINS) —
Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini
suggested to the Syrian
foreign minister recently
that if every Moslem poured
a bucket of water on Israel
the country would be swept
away.
