THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS 6 Friday, March 28, 1980 Hebron Decision May Divide the Knesset By YITZHAK SHARGIL TEL AVIV (JTA) — The issue of whether a Jewish presence will be established in Hebron, and possibly the fate of Premier Menahem Begin's government, ap- peared to rest with the 25 members of the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Secu- rity Committee. The matter was placed in their hands when Deputy Premier Yigael Yadin, leader of the Democratic Movement (DM), an- nounced that he would ap- peal to the Knesset commit- tee against Sunday's 8-6 de- cision by the Cabinet to lo- cate two Jewish religioiis institutions in the heart of that West Bank Arab town. The issue has polarized Israelis, cutting across political and ideological lines. Because of the crisis atmosphere it created, the Foreign Affairs and Secu- rity Committee announced today that it would defer FULL TIME PROTECTION FROM MARV CHECK • Burglary • Vandalism • Fire • Personal Attack MARV ROSEN At A Price You Can Afford NO IFONE Automatically Notifies within seconds Police Dept. & Fire Dept.

The general strike was only partially effective on the West Bank, and vir- tually ignored in the Gaza Strip. Schools remained closed in most West Bank towns but the shutdown of shops and business establish- ments was sporadic. The strike was only partial in Kalkilya and Tulkarem but more strictly observed in Nablus. The market place in East Jerusalem was closed. Most Hebron work- ers employed in the adja- cent Jewish township of Kiryat Arba showed up for work despite Mayor Kawasme's call for a boycott. The only reported inci- dent occureed in the unver sity town of Bir Zeit, north of Ramallah, where stu- dents at a political rally stoned a passing Israeli military truck. Soldiers in the truck fired into the air and other military units rushed to the scene and sur- rounded the town. No casualties or arrests were reported. The Israeli decision on Hebron was criticized by the State Department, U.S. Special Athbassador Sol Linowitz and UN Secretary General Kurt Waldheim. State Department spokesman Hodding Carter said the decision "heightened concern" over Jewish settlements on the West Bank.Carter said the U.S. has made its position on settlements .

Police suspect that the perpetrators belong to neo-Nazi groups. Swastikas were smeared on 20 of the gravestones and others were painted with the characters SS in runic letters and such slogans as "Heil Hitler" and "Juden Raus" (Jews get out). Swas- tikas and other Nazi sym- bols were found carved on nearby trees. Meanwhile, a number of West German newspapers published articles March 19 on Albert Speer, who was Hitler's Minister for Armament during World War II, on the occasion of his 75th birthday. Speer was sentenced to 20 years in prison for his part in the Nazis' forced labor program. 1-T- W QQ released from Spandau prison in 1966. particularly clear in re- cent weeks, an apparent allusion to the March 1 UN vote condemning Is- rael. Linowitz called the deci- sion "a disturbing one," and Waldheim said the decision violated UN resolutions, in- cluding the March 1 resolu- tion later repudiated by President Carter.

It is believed to have taken into considera- tion such factors as the shaky position of Begin's government in general and Israel's growing isolation in the international diploma- tic arena over the settle- ments issue. A Shai faction motion of no-confidence was defeated by the Knesset on Monday, 56-44. The narrow vote in the Cabinet reflected the sharp division withing the government between Begin's Herut Party whose ministers, except Defense Minister Ezer Weizman, supproted the Hebron decision and Likud's Liberal Party wing and the DM which were opposed. Even the National Religious Party wavered. Apparently it took all of Begin's powers of persua- sion to eke out the two vote majority in favor of placing Jews in Hebron and many commentators doubt that his will would prevail in the Knesset committee, despite its Likud majority. Meanwhile, West Bank twon officials and promi- nent citizens attended a protest meeting in Hebron and voted to stage a 24-hour general strike on Tuesday. Addressing the meeting at the Hebron town hall, Hebron Mayor Faud Kawasmel said the Israeli move should be opposed "even if it brings us into con- flict with the authorities. The Israelis do not have enough jails for us all. We should halt all dealings with the Israelis — no busi- ness, no work, nothing."
