New Left Flirts With Israel's Enemies at Hate Meeting

premier of France, was
also not present, his cable
about his great interest in
rights for Palestinians
giving a less dramatic
reason for his absence.
But the New Left was out
in force -- the same people
whose demonstrations
helped end the Vietnam
War and who now are
chiefly concerned with nu-
clear matters — power and
bombs.
Present, too, were the
kingpins of Breira, that odd
organization, once thriving,
now almost defunct, that
was often accused of being

less interested in Israel's
survival than in the rights
of Israeli's enemies.
Present, too, was Arthur
Waskow, who once wrote an
article for an obscure maga-
zine in which Israel was
y" little
called "that
Jewish state, the scatalogi-
cal adjective so vile that
even a hardcore pornog-
raphic publication might
have hesitated to print it.
Present, too, was I.F.
Stone, who once wrote a
glorious book about il-
legal immigration and
was an enthusiastic
Zionist until something
(never explained) turned
him into. such a virulent
critic of Israel that he be-
came the fair-haired boy
of the Arabs.
Present, too, were four
members of the Knesset, re-
porters from every one of
the Israeli daily newspap-
ers, two Catholic priests,
several television men
(without their cameras),
two former U.S. ambas-
sadors, three rabbis, and
Ruth Dayan, ex-wife of an
ex-foreign Minister.
One of the speakers
quoted Martin Buber: "A
dialogue is the opposite of
two monologues."
Another quoted Ben-
Gurion: "Golda Meir is the
best man in my Cabinet."
(The quoter was a woman
who was speaking about
equal rights for women,
Arabs as well as Jews, and
she obviously did not like
Ben-Gurion's remark.)
It was sad for a cham-
pion of Israel's survival
to sit in this gathering
and watch the behavior
of at least some of the

Jewish New Left dele-
gates, so obviously pro-
PLO in their sentiments
that they applauded any
criticism of Israel — the
more virulent the criti-
cism the more enthusias-
tic the applause.
And yet there was gen-
eral applause when an Is-
raeli professor asked
dramatically how long it
would be before the Arabs
agreed to accept the exist-
ence of Israel as a Zionist
state.
At the reception following
the opening session, the
lone Arab on the evening's
program, a Palestinian pro-
fessor at Georgetown Uni-
versity, looked bewildered
as he wandered around
among the hundreds of
Jewish delegates with glas-
ses in their hands, agreeing
with each, other about al-
most everything.
There was no question
but that most of the dele-
gates and speakers were
people of good will, serious
in their belief that the peace
process in the Middle East
can be moved off dead center
only by bringing the Pales-
tinians. into the negotia-
tions, and that the only
representative the Palesti-
nians have is the PLO.
The only trouble is that
they were all talking only to
themselves.

WASHINGTON (JTA) —
The three-day symposium
sponsored by the Isareli
monthly New Outlook
ended Oct. 30 with a con-
troversial "summation" by
the magazine's editors and a
statement by a West Bank
Arab activist demanding
negotiations at a Geneva
conference.
At a press conference
at the conclusion of the
symposium, editor-in-
chief Simha Flapan read
a statement that said:
"All participants were
unanimous in their view
that peace can be ob-
tained only on the basis
of the right of self-
determination of both
peoples within the
framework of • co-
existence and that the
policy of annexation and
the establishment of
Jewish settlements on
the West Bank must be
stopped."
Flapan said he derived
"the policy of annexation"
from former Israeli Foreign
Minister Moshe Ddyan's
statement two weeks ago
that the Israeli government
was taking that approach.
Questioning this, reporters
noted to Flapan that Dayan
had actually said only that
he "thinks" the govern-
ment's policy is in that di-
rection and that the U.S.
State Department said that
it is not "aware" of any such
Israeli policy.
Briefing the press on the

purposes of the symposium,
Flapan had stressed earlier
that no resolutions would be
made on behalf of the sym-
posium, and that there
would be no voting. He re-
peated in his statement that
"New Outlook insists on
having no resolutions be-
cause of the diversity of
views of its participants."
Under questioning,
Flapan said his "summa-
tion" was "unanimously"
accepted on the basis of
"applause" he received
and the absence of dis-
sent. He gave no indica-
tion of how many of the
participants applauded
nor did he identify them.
When word of his "sum-
mation" went beyond the
press conference room, a
score of participants still on
the premises entered and
indicated protest against
the summation. Observers
indicated that the summa-
tion appeared to be in viola-
tion of New Outlook's
ground rules for the sym-
posium because it was tan-
tamount to a resolution.
In the final words of the_
press conference,
Raymonda Tawil, a West
Bank Arab poet and
feminist, declared, in
English, that "The Pales-
tine Liberation Organiza-
tion is the sole representa-
tive" of the Palestinian
Arabs, that she is for an "in-
dependent Palestinian state
with Jerusalem as its capi-
tal," and that the "Palesti-
nians are freedom fighters,

not terrorists," and that
"they will fight autonomy
and the Camp David ac-
cords until peace is
achieved" and "all the forces
are in Geneva with the,
Soviet Union and all par-
ties, including the PLO."
Tawil's statement seemed
to surprise the three Net;
Outlook editors but they did
not comment on it.
Her final statement
seemed to nulFe--
previous views. had,
earlier at the symposium,
submitted a program for
"constructive Israeli ac-
tion" which, she said,
tt would help in breaking
the long-standing hostil-
ity between Israelis and
Palestinians and begin to
establish the needed
trust for mutual recogni-
tion."
In his statement, Flapan
echoed the calls by many
participants for American -
Jews to take sides in the de-
bate on Israeli policies. Re-
ferring to the discussion in
the symposium between
"delegates of Israel's peace
community and American
Jewish leaders," Flapan
said "there were moments of
tension in the debate" but
he hoped "they were a
catharsis that would
strengthen cooperation be-
tween both."
He announced that the
next New Outlook interna-
tional symposium would be
co-sponsored by an Arab
magazine which he did not
identify.

Land Statistics

Revealed Before Debate

JERUSALEM (JTA) — A
detailed report on the status
of land on the West Bank
and Gaza Strip since Israel's
conquest of those territories
in 1967 was made public
last week. The figures show
that the largest amounts of
land are privately owned —
mainly by Arabs — the next
largest amounts are of un-
certain ownership and the
balance is state-owned.
The statistics were pre-
pared by the Defense Minis-
try in connection with the
Cabinet's debate on settle-
ment policy. They were
leaked to military corre-
spondent Zeev Schiff of
Haaretz and published in
that newspaper.
According to the report,
61,000 dunams (15,000
'acres) have been seized by
the military authorities
since 1967 on the basis of
military requirements
which is an accordance with
international law that goy--
erns the acts of an occupy-4
ing power.
A somewhat larger ac-
reage — 80,000 dunams
(20,000 acres) — was
freely purchased by the
authorities from private
owners. Of 61,000

dunams, 40,000 have
been utilized for civilian
settlements.
There are some 57 Jewish
settlements of various types
on the West Bank and eight
in the Gaza Strip. They do
not include the Jewish sub-
urbs built in East
Jerusalem.
The total amount of regis-
teredrprivately owned lane
on the West Bank is 3.2 mil-
lion dunams and 253,000,
dunams in the Gaza strip.
An additional 1,530,00(1
dunams on the West Bank
and 63,000 dunams, int he
Gaza Strip are of uncertain
ownership.
The state owns 696,000
dunams on the West Bank
and 40,000 dunams in the
Gaza Strip.
There are
000
dunams of land
the
West Bank and 8,0e`
dunams in the Gaza Strip
registered to absentee
owners. Private Jewish-
owned land, registered
before 1948, totals 30,000
dunams on the West
Bank and 800 dunams in
the Gaza Strip.
The total land area on the
West Bank is 5,886,000
dunams.
