Exchanges between the two countries were sparked off when Foreign Minister Brian Lenihan, on a visit to Bahrein, signed a joint statement backing an inde- pendent Palestinian state, and acknowledging the PLO's claim to represent the Palestinian people. It also spoke of the need for total Israeli withdrawal from the occupied ter- ritories, including Jerusalem. Israel was especially incensed by Lenihan's description of PLO chief Yasir Arafat as "a most sensible element." His further remarks amounted to a virtual in- vitation to Arafat to visit Dublin, which would thus be the first country of the European Eco- nomic Community (EEC) to offer him hospitality. The controversy marks the worst point in Irish- Israeli relations since dip- lomatic ties were set up about five years ago. To Is- rael's disappointment, Ire- land refused to exchange embassies with her, and contacts are maintained through non-resident am- bassadors — by Israel's Ambassador in Britain and Ireland's envoy in Switzer- land. When it lodged its stiff protest to Ireland last week, Israel broke with precedent and gave it to the Irish Em- bassy in London, rather than sending it directly to the Foreign Ministry in Dublin. Although Israeli diplomats say that it di so to ensure speed of delivery, it could also have been inter- preted as a sign of Israel's anger.

Since then, the Israelis have followed up their diplomatic message by sending their London press counsellor, Yehuda Millo, to Dublin to put the Israeli case to politicians and the press. He pointed out tartly that the lack of an Israeli embassy here contrasts with the open- ing of one in Cairo. Among the Irish public, Lenihan's remarks have al- ready been greeted un- favorably, partly because it was not prepared for them, and also because of the widespread assumption here that the PLO is linked with the Irish Republican Army terrorist organiza- tion. Jewish Film and Broadcast Archive Planned by Museum NEW YORK (JTA) — The Charles H. Revson Foundation and the Jewish Museum, which is under the auspices of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, have jointly an- nounced the creation of the National Jewish Archives of Film_ and Broadcasting. A grant of $550,000 over three years from the Revson Foundation will launch the project as part of the Museum in Manhattan. Creation of the archives follows a year-long study by the Revson Foundation and its consultants who explored the idea with broadcasting executives, media experts and educators. A report on this study lists more than 700 films and television pro- grams identified in the pre- liminary search. The televi- sion programs include dramas, interviews, news JNF Working on Fifty Sites JERUSALEM (JTA) The Jewish National -Fund is currently engaged in land reclamation work at more than 50 sites all over Israel, JNF chairman Moshe Riv- lin reported. In an address last week at Yahel, the Reform move- ment's kibutz in the Arava region, he noted that land is being leveled for the first of four new settlements that will constitute the "Pithat Shalom" bloc near the Gaza Strip. Giant earth-moving machines have to remove some 1.5 million cubic meters of soil to prepare the land for each of the settlements. The heavy equipment is at work "day and night," he said. He also noted that the JNF has planted some, 70,000 trees in the Arava district in the last three years, extending from Noat Hakikar to the edge of the Dead Sea and as far south as Kibutz Eilot near the town of Eilat. Syria Jewry Day NEW YORK (JTA) — Governor Hugh Carey of New York designated last Saturday as the "Sabbath of Remembrance in Solidarity with Syrian Jewry Day." Efforts on behalf of the be- leaguered Syrian Jewish community "should be sup- ported by all New Yorkers," he said. and documentaries. Agreements in princi- ple have been reached with the three commer- cial networks — ABC, CBS and NBC — and the, Public Broadcasting Service to obtain copies of the selected programs, with details to be worked out in the next few- months. A core filn-i col- lection will be drawn from some 1000 feature films of Jewish interest produced in the United States and abroad since the turn of the century, and research is under way to identify relevant radio programs. According to the Revson Foundation report, the Arc- hives is being established "to make sure that this un- paralleled primary source on the Jewish experience is not lost and that it is acces- sible to the widest possible audience." The Revson Foundation grant supports the initial development and operation of the Archives, which is scheduled to open by the end of 1980. Opposition politicians pressed their disquiet at a debate in the Dail (Parlia- ment) last week. Lenihan's remarks_ were also questioned by the Irish Times, Dublin's leading daily, not known for its sympathies for Israel. The strongest anti-PLO statement was made on local television by Ire- land's newly appointed chief rabbi, who was brought up in England but studied in a yeshiva in Israel, where he volun- teered for army duty dur- ing the war of attrition in the mid 1970s. Ireland has only 3,000 Jews, but they are proud of their links with Israel. 11. The 1980's Are Here!"‘ FOR YOUR NEXT CADILLAC SEE ME!
