14 Friday, December 14, 1919 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS The plain and simple window blind deal. British PLO Officials Meet, Causes Concern for Israelis Farouk Kaddotimi, the foreign minister of the Palestine Liberation Organization, met briefly last week in what the Foreign Office said was an "unscheduled" encounter at the Syrian Embassy. This is the first acknowl- edged meeting to take place in London between such a senior PLO official and a British Cabinet Minister. The Foreign Office said that their talks were with- out substance and that the meeting did not mark any shift in Britain's Middle East policy. However, it has caused deep concern among Is- raeli circles in England and Israel Ambassador Shlomo Argov raised it last week when he ac- companied visiting Knesset Speaker Yitzhak Shamir on a courtesy call to Gilmour's boss, Foreign Secretary Lord Carrington. Despite the British dis- claimers, Israeli suspicions are deepened by the known pro-Arab sympathy of Sir Ian. The meeting also follows persisitent calls by the pro-Arab lobby here for Britain to end its "isolation" from Western Europe by be- coming more amenable to the PLO. The Gilmour-Kaddoumi meeting took place at a re- ception given by Syrian Ambassador Mohammed Omrane for delegates to a conference on Jerusalem organized by the Islamic Council for Europe and the Saudi Arabian Information Ministry. Also present at the reception was Foreign Office Minister of State Douglas Hurd who this week is visiting Israel, Egypt and the Sudan.

Eves. OPEN ALL DAY SUNDAY ' NEW YORK —Some 300 Iranian militants, followers of a maverick clergyman called 'Ayatollah Ringo" be- cause of his gun-toting antics, waited in vain for a plane at Teheran airport on Monday to fly to Lebanon to join the Palestine Libera- tion Organization. The 300 Iranians said they wanted to fight against Israel. Officials of Iran Air, the state airline, refused to pro- vide a plane for the follow- ers of Hojjatolislam Mohammed Montzeri be- cause they did not have valid passports nor permis- sion to land in Beirut. Lebanon closed its airspace to Iranian planes to prevent the militants from entering the country. At the same time, Israeli jet fighter planes flew over Beirut for the first time in weeks, apparently in re- sponse to the incident. No matter what goes wrong, it will probably look right.

SCHNEERSON THE LUBAVITCHER REBBE 24 112 1 5V Dear Friend: The Chanukah fights which are kindled in the darkness of night recall to our minds memories of the past: the war that the Hasmo- neans waged against huge Syrian armies, their victory, the dedica- tion of the Temple, the rekindling of the Menorah, the small quan- tity of oil that lasted for many days, and so on. Let's picture ourselves members of the Gale band of Hasmo- neans in those days. We are under the domination of a powerful Syrian King; many of our brethren have left us and accepted the idolatry and way of life of the enemy. But our leaders, the Hasmo- neans, do not commence action by comparing numbers and weapons, and weighing our chances of victory. The Holy Temple has been invaded by a cruel enemy. The Torah and our faith are in grave danger. The enemy has trampled upon everything holy to us and is trying to force us to accept his way of Me which is that of idol worship, injustice, and similar traits altogether foreign to us. There is but one thing for us to do—to adhere all the loser to our religion and precepts, and to fight against the enemy even if we have to die in this fight. And wonder of wonders! The huge Syrian armies are beaten, the vast Syrian Empire is defeated, our victory is complete. This chapter of our history has repeated itself frequently. We. as Jews, have always been outnumbered; many tyrants attempted to destroy us because of our faith. Sometimes they aimed their poisoned arrows at our bodies, sometimes at our souls, and, sad to say, many of our brethren have for one reason or another turned away from G-d and His Torah and tried to make life easier by accepting the rule of the conqueror. In such times of distress we must always be like that faithful band of Hasmoneans, and remember that there is always a drop of "pure olive oil" hidden deep in the heart of every Jew, which, if kindled, bursts into a big flame.This drop of "pure olive oil" is the "Perpetual Light" that must and will pierce the darkness of our present night, until everyone of us will behold the fulfillment of the prophet's promise for our ultimate redemption and triumph. And as in the days of the Hasmonearis "the wicked will once again be conquered by the righteous, and the arrogant by those who follow . G-d's laws, and our people Israel will have a great salvation. With Chanukah Greetings, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson
