THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS 14 Friday, November 30, 1979 MAGICIAN Blum Tells UN Body Palestinians Received State With the Establishment of Transjordan Kingdom Available For All Occasions 25 years experience MAGICAL MEL . 547-2464 , UNITED NATIONS (JTA) Yehuda Blum, Is- rael's ambassador to the United Nations, said that the Arabs of Palestine, "achieved their statehood as early as 1946, on 80 percent of mandated Palestine," with the establishment of the kingdom of Transjor- dan. In this way, they pre- GOT A PROBLEM? DAVE'S PLUMBING A flush beats a full house 967-DRIP t no sabbath calls ceded by two years the es- tablishment of an indepen- dent Jewish state in Pales- tine," the Israeli envoy de- clared. Addressing the General Assembly debate on the question of Palestine, Blum asserted that while the state of the Palestinians was established on 80 per- cent of the territory of Palestine the Palestinian Jews founded their state (Israel) on less than 20 per- cent of the area of the former (British) mandate." Furthermore, Blum de- clared, "this development was also accompanied by a de facto exchange of popula- tions. A large number of Arabs, who had been resi- dent in the part of Palestine that became Israel, left their homes and settled in the neighboring Arab states (predominantly in the Palestinian Arab state of Jordan). An even greater number of Jews, who had been resident in the Arab states, left their countries of origin and made their way almost without ex- ception to Israel — the Palestinian Jewish state."

Adjoining the city of Southfield 534-1400 Noting that the "core" of the Mideast conflict is the refusal of the Arabs to ac- cept the state of Israel and not the Palestinian ques- tion, Blum said, however, that the only solution to the question of the Palestinian Arabs is in the autonomy plan of the Camp David framework. "This framework invites the Palestinian Arab resi- dents of Judea, Samaria and the Gaza District to play an active role in shaping their future by calling on them to participate in all aspects of the negotiations," Blum said, adding that never in their history had the Pales- tinian Arabs been offered better opportunities to gov- ern themselves than those offered by the autonomy plan. Blum said that despite the efforts of the Arab "re- jectionist front," led by the Palestine Liberation Organization, "the current negotiations (on autonomy) will continue and we are confident that they will reach a successful conclu- sion, thus carrying us an- other step further towards the achievement of an over- all peace in the entire region." The current session of the UN General Assem- bly has been dubbed "Palestine Week" and will include the screening of the UN-produced film, "Palestinians Do Have Rights," and an exhibi- tion at the UN building devoted to the "plight" of the Palestinians — spon- sored by the UN, but ac- tually designed and or- ganized by the PLO, the JTA reported. The Palestine Week ended Thursday with the UN-declared "Palestine Day," the date when the General Assembly recom- mended the partition of Palestine in 1947. Blum disclosed that Is- rael, to counter the UN- produced film on the Pales- tinians, has obtained its own film, "The PLO," pro- duced by a Swiss company, but that the UN turned down Israel's request to sc- reen it at the UN. Blum said Israel was told that the Hammarskjold Auditorium, where films are shown, screens only "cultural films" and not political ones.

The Middle East issue will be on the agenda of the assembly for another week, when the Palesti- nian debate is over, with the start of a Mideast de- bate Monday to discuss the Arab-Israel conflict in its entirety. Meanwhile, Farouk Kad- doumi, the PLO "foreign minister," warned that any Palestinian supporting the autonomy plan would be considered "a traitor." Speaking at the UN Gen- eral Assembly, the PLO of- ficial also called on the U.S. to stop supporting Israel and appealed to the Ameri- can public to persuade the Administration to change its Middle East policy. In a related develop- ment, Lebanon has struck a deal with Pales- tinian terrorists under which the terrorists will be allowed to retain bases in Southern Leba- non in return for a tem- porary pledge not to raid Israel from the area. The agreement between PLO chief Yasir Arafat and Lebanese President Elias Sarkis came after hours of backstage wrangling, as a three-day summit confer- ence of Arab kings and presidents ended. government that-an invita- tion to Arafat to visit France "might result in a moral divorce" between France's Jews and the French government. CRIF called on the gov- ernment and on the president not to invite or re- ceive the PLO leader. In Tel Aviv a visiting member of the West Ger- man Parliament said that the PLO enjoys r' ^ng prestige in Europe -. . if the PLO leaders were to declare themselves ready to recognize Israel, it would generate immense pressure on Israel to negotiate with that group. That view was expressed by Eric Blumenfeld, chair- man of the Federation of German-Israel Friendship Societies (FGIFS) who heads a 10-member delega- tion to the third conference of the FGIFS which met in Jerusalem last week. Blumenfeld is an opposi- tion member of the Bundes- rat, West Germany's upper house, and a member of the Parliament of Europe. A UNIQUE GIFT IDEA FOR HANUKA OW. 16%0 WO( PLO Shows Signs of Controversy Within Own Ranks The PLO mediation mis- sion to Teheran is showing signs of exacerbating ten- sions that have been mount- ing recently within the ter- rorist organization. According to the Wash- ington Post, the strains have arisen as Palestinian terrorist leader Yasir Arafat has tried to balance international diplomatic gains with a need to main- tain revolutionary creden- tials. The main competition within the PLO is among forces supporting Arafat's new diplomatic approach designed to win favor in Washington and European capitals, and other factions for whom Arab revolution and armed struggle remain the only true path to the Palestinians' achieving their goal. In Paris the Chief Rabbi of Colmar, one of the two chief rabbis of Alsatia, called for direct negotiations with the PLO and said he was not opposed to a meeting be- tween PLO chief Arafat and French President Valery Giscard d'Esta- ing. Rabbi Simon Fuks is known as a Zionist and part of his family, including his children, are reportedly liv- ing in Israel.
