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.)

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. W. B Gaza Land Statistics •9 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.
