Hess' Creative Zionism
Defined by Isaiah Berlin

ture, honorable positions
in society. They are too
deeply bound up with
western civilization.
They have lost their vital-
ity as Jews. They will not
wish to emigrate to a re-
mote and barren land.
'They may place their
knowledge, their wealth,
their influence, at the
disposal of the immig-
rants, but they will not go
themselves. For them
Palestine will be at best
what Hess calls 'a
spiritual nerve center.'
'T niversiti es will arise
.ere, and a common lan-
.uage which all these
immigrants will speak.
Who, then, will go? There
can be no doubt of that.
The Jews of eastern
Europe and the other
lands where the ancient
faith has kept them solid
and insulated from their
environment, it is these
and only these that will
move."
There would have been
another awakening for Hess
in this era. He would have
witnessed Zion redeemed,
but by Jews themselves,
with the official French as
antagonists in the present
hour of distress.
It is noteworthy that Hess
judged the Jews of the West
and the East with prag-
matism. He might have had
other views had he
envisaged the Holocaust.
In his analyses of the
nationalist and Zionist
views of Hess, Isaiah Berlin
has contributed towards an
appreciation of Hess, the
forerunner of Herzl and
Nordau and their associates
in Zionist creativity.
In Berlin's "Against the
Current" Hess also is
among those who went
against a current, that of
Jewry's antagonists as well
as Jews who were not them-
selves unified in the search
for justice and freedom. The
essay on Hess gives em-
phasis to the significance of
the newest collection of
Isaiah Berlin's critical es-
says.
(It is worth indicating at
this point that a Detroit
Jewish scholar is among
those who have pursued
studies of Moses Hess and
"Rome and Jerusalem." In a
series of essays in the Yid-
dish quarterly magazine
Unser Eigel Vort, Wolf
Snyder offers a thoroughly
researched study of the sub-
ject. It is the latest and
among the most impressive
works dealing with the
Moses Hess epic.)

Cuts in Defense Budget
Could Endanger New Plane
TEL AVIV (JTA) — The
defense establishment was
in a furor Monday over Fi-
nance Minister Yigal Hur-
..%-- witz's plans for new cuts in
the defense budget in his
battle against resurgent in-
flation.
The proposed cuts could
jeopardize the "Lavie," a
second generation Israel-
made jet fighter plane and
also affect other defense

purchases and probably
slow down the construction
of Israel's new defense lines
in the NegeV to replace
those to be given up in Sinai
by the end of next year.
Senior officials of the De-
fense Ministry pointed out
that Defense Minister Ezer
Weizman and Hurwitz col-
laborated in a detailed
analysis of the defense
budget and made whatever
cuts were possible three
months ago when the gov-
ernment first reduced its
overall budget. Now, they
say, Hurwitz is demanding
still more cuts although de-
fense expenditures have al-
ready been slashed to the
danger point.
The "Lavie" is of par-
ticular importance to Is-
rael, not only because it
will strengthen the air
force with a plane of local
design and manufacture
but will provide an im-
portant source of foreign
currency through export
sales.
When Weizman was in
Washington last month, he
reached agreement with
Pentagon officials to allow
Israel to market the "Lavie"
abroad. The permission was
required because the plane
will be - powered by
American-made engines.

Station Serves 'Free Lebanon'
(Continued from Page 1)
The radio station was es-
tablished less than a half-
year ago by American busi-
nessman and Christian
Evangelical leader George
Otis through his religious
organization, High Adven-
ture Ministries.
"I am not proud of
world Christianity's re-
sponse to the emergency
going on here," muses
Pollak. "We have a situa-
tion here where trained
terrorists are holed up in
a fortified position less
than a few miles away,
taking potshots at Chris-
tian villages as they wish,
and there is no outcry or
protest virtually any-
where. It is ironic but not
really surprising that Is-
rael, the Jewish state, is
the only force really help-
ing us in our struggle just
to survive."
Pollak is a far distance
from his last professional
role as manager of station
KBSN in the middle of
Texas.
According to Pollak and
co-manager Gary Hull, who
is also a Texan, the station
will soon increase power to
25 kilowatts which will
mean it will have the
capacity to reach every
corner of Lebanon, Israel,
Jordan and Syria, and parts
of Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Egypt
and Iran. WORD now
broadcasts 18 hours daily.
Of this, only four hours are
presently in Arabic, but the
station managers hope to
expand their services soon
to include French and a
higher percentage of
Arabic. Pollak estimates
that at least a third of all
Lebanese understand
English, with an even
higher proportion among
the Christian population.
Major Haddad's spokes-
man, Lebanese high-school
teacher Francis Rizak, is
also on hand at WORD —
working in the news de-
partment, analyzing de-
velopments in the area for
an audience that has come
to respect both his ability to
cover fast-breaking news
and his interpretation of it.
"Free Lebanon, the
area under our control,
has about 10,000 people.
A majority of them are
not even Christians, but
all of us are united on one
thing. We want the PLO
out of here. They are here
only to provoke violence
and to kill innocent, un-
armed men, women and
children," Rizak states.
Besides Rizak's commen-
tary and regular reporting
of the -news, broadcaster
Pollak makes sure that his
audience gets a regular diet
1•1111111111111/
of prayers and inspiration.
"Remember that little
four-year-old we reported
wounded last week by an in-
coming shell?" says Pollak,
chatting to his audience.
"Well, our prayers have
been answered, and he's
getting out of the hospital
today, and rejoining his
family in Marjayoun."

Former Detroiter
Writes of Ordeal
With Mother
"The Best Friend You'll
Ever Have," former De-
troiter Bernard Sloan's ac-
count of his mother's sudden
illness and its effects on his
family, was published re-
cently by Crown.
The book, which grew out
of a column Sloan did for
Newsweek magazine,
documents a situation
familiar to many families —
an elderly parent is taken
into the home rather than
being placed in a convales-
cent center.
Sloan's mother, Dora, re-
turns from Arizona to Lar-
chmont, N.Y., so that her
family can take care of her.
Gradually, the family finds
that it must cater to
"Grandma's every whim,"
never satisfying her com-
pletely. Dora Sloan is criti-
cal of everything, from her
son's non-Jewish wife to the
contents of their re-
frigerator.
Sloan currently lives in
New York and has written
articles for Time magazine
and Tennis magazine as
well as Newsweek.
