Rabin Won't Discuss Censorship

NEW YORK (JTA) —
Former Premier Yitzhak
Rabin again cited Israeli
law last week as the reason
he could not comment on re-
ports that censors deleted a
section from his memoirs
describing the expulsion of
50,000 Arabs from Lod and
Ramle during Israel's War
of Independence.
But Rabin told an over-
ow audience at Manhat-
's Cong. Bnai Jeshurun
At during the 1948-49
war, which he described as
the "longest, most bitter
war" in Israel's history,
both Arab and Jewish set-
tlements were destroyed
and both Arabs and Jews
had to evacuate settle-
ments.
When Rabin was asked
about a recent New York
Times report that censors
deleted a section on the ex-
pulsion of the Arabs on
Premier David Ben-
Gurion's orders, Rabin said
if there were such an "al-
leged" account in his book,
The Rabin Memoirs," and
if it was censored he would
not be able to discuss it
under Israeli law.
But Rabin, who was a
brigade commander in
the War of Independence,
urged people before they
judge what happened in a
war to find out who
started it.
He pointed out that Is-
rael's leaders had been
ready to accept the trun-
cated state recommended by
the United Nations but first
Arabs in Palestine attacked
the Jews and then Israel
was invaded by the armies
of seven Arab states.
He said half of the Israeli
civilians and soldiers killed
in Israel's 31-year history

Project Renewal
Pledges Raised

NEW YORK (JTA) —
After a 10-day study-tour in
Israel recently, the mem-
bers of the Small City
Executives Institute, repre-
senting communities
throughout the United
States and Canada, adopted
a resolution pledging in-
creased support of commu-
nity campaigns on behalf of
Project Renewal.
The action followed meet-
ings with leaders in the
Project Renewal neighbor-
hoods of Hatikvah, Kiry- at
Shmona and Ramle, where
institute members saw evi-
fice of the activation of
fie worldwide Jewish
partnership program de-
signed to rebuild and renew
disadvantaged neighbor-
hoods — rescuing the
45,000 adults and 200,000
children who have been left
out of the mainstream of Is-
raeli life.
Caucusing at the end of
their mission, the executive
directors increased their
pledges for the 1980 cam-
paign by an average of 25
percent and pledged an
additional $15,000 toward
Project Renewal.
The program was or-
ganized by the Jewish
Agency's Institute for Lead-
ership Development in
Jerusalem.

died in that war.
He said if the Arabs had
accepted partition, as Israel
had, there would not have
been more than 30 years of
prolonged war, or a Palesti-
nian refugee problem or
would there have been the
large number of Jewish ref-
ugees that came from Arab
countries after the War of
Independence.
Turning to current is-
sues, Rabin repeated his
belief that a solution to

the West Bank should
come through an -agree-
ment between Israel and
Jordan rather than the
autonomy proposed by
Premier Menahem Begin.
He said a West Bank con-
trolled by Jordan will al-
ways see Amman as its cap-_
ital, not Jerusalem, while
he believes the Arabs
elected to the self-governing
authority would agitate for
East Jerusalem as their
capital.

NEW YORK (JTA) — An
intensive cooperative ef-
fort last spring by a number
of Jewish organizations to
recruit Jewish young men
and women for the New
York City police force may
result in little, if any, long-
term increase in the
number of Jewish police
officers, according to Louis
Weiser, president of the
Council of Jewish Organ-
izations in Civil Service.
