The oil-rich Arab states, while arming the PLO at a handsome rate and making military bas- tions of the refugee camps, have been notably modest in their relief contributions. The question is raised — how long is a refugee a refu- gee? In the case of the mil- lions of refugees created in the wake of World War II, the accounts have long been closed. Who remembers the treks across Asia and East- ern Europe of uprooted mil- lions who rebuilt their lives without the benefit of a UNRWA? That the Arab states re , fused to allow the natural absorption of some 550,000 Arabs that fled from one part of Mandatory Palestine — the part that became Is- rael — to another part of Palestine (Jordan) is a familiar story. It was a con- scious Arab strategy to maintain the refugees as "the dynamite" with which to demolish Israel. As a tactic, though ,bloody and unscrupul- ous, it worked. We know the results in human costs for Jews and Arabs. UNRWA is asking for in- creasing funds for 1980 with the U.S. providing, as be- fore, the major portion. Apart from the dubious eligibility of a large propor- tion of those on the relief rolls, a far greater question is the function of those camps. The pretense that the camps exist primarily as welfare operation for the uncontestable needly has worn thin. The camps are the acknowledged head- quarters of the PLO and av- owed training-centers for terrorism. UNRWA reports that 59 percent of the agency's budget for 1980 is for educa- tion. The education, as we know from actual docu- ments and many texts, is primarily slanted to creat- ing and nurturing a Pales- tinian identity and indoc- trinating the youth with a patriotic hate of Zionism and Israel. Besides its virulent anti-Israel slant, one as- pect of camp "education" is inexcusable. The sup- posedly pitiful refugee camps are full-fledged military training centers for children and youth. Drills and war exercises form the core cur- riculum. The camps are not only recruiting and training cen- ters, but the points from which terrorist attacks into Israel are frequently launched. The camps also serve as training centers for assorted members of ter- rorist international. Var- ious alumni of the PLO schools from the Bader- Meinhoff Gang, the Japanese Red Army, the Italian Red Brigades and even the IRA have testified as to the connection and have provided the world demonstrations of their I 2712 '832-1758 Riopelle I I Jimmliiiimmilliiimmulimmillimmmillimummilminimmffilmiiiiimc = : Holiday Good Cheer - EAGLE CLEANING CO. _ _-: 29102 Five Mile Rd.

To many obser- vers, it 'looked as if this order undermined the tradi- tion of the Palmach (pre- state commando units) in which every effort had been made to respect the equality of the sexes. For example, as the women could not join com- bat units, it was argued that it would be unfair to ask them to train combat soldiers. The Six-Day War and the serious rethinking in the Is- raeli army. To free male soldiers for active service, women took over as drivers, gas station workers and in armories. Finally, the wheel turned full circle and it was decided to train women officers as section leaders in male units. It was explained that this was not a theoretical decision, but one dictated by the reality of manpower shortage. Second Lt. Sari is one of three women chosen from tens of volunteers to take over this task. She instructs in various types of weapons and in field craft, participat- ing in route marches, guard duty and other tough as- signments.
