THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS 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 i 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.
