THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
Letter Explodes PLO Moderation Myth
TEL AVIV (ZINS) — The
belief on the part of the U.S.
State Department that the
PLO is now more moderate
in its views toward Israel is
not supported by the facts
according to the Hebrew
daily Ha'aretz.
As proof, the paper pub-
lished the contents of a let-
ter which was written by a
PLO group (resident in Is-
rael) and addressed to the
head of a new political
movement in the country
known as Elections Now.
The letter included the fol-
lowing:
