Outragd.i- Agaifitt All HuManity,
Ivan Novick, president of the Zionist Organization of
America, noted that "the crimes committed on the streets of
Paris while directed against Jews are an outrage against all
humanity." He charged that "these acts of terrorism are
encouraged by the continued acceptance of the French gov-
ernment and other nations of the PLO which is welcomed in
the capitals of free nations thereby encouraging and accept-
ing their anti-Jewish and anti-Israel violence."
Froni July 1967 to August 1979 there were 9,400 PLO
attacks around the world; 994 people were murdered
and 5,139 were injured, most of them children. Yet the
Carter Administration refuses to declare they are a
terrorist organization. By not declaring that they are
terrorists, they can be allowed to freely raise funds
and recruit throughout America — leading many to
conclude that their murder of Jews is quite a legiti-
mate activity.
Novick said that "these terrorist actions" in France should
"be a warning that appeasement of terrorism, no matter
how disguised, contributes to the growth of anti-Semitism
and to the insecurity of all free nations and undermines the
moral fiber of the world community of which the democratic
nations are its first victims."
ZOA ACTION GUIDELINE
Write to President Carter urging that U.S. laws pertaining to organizations "engaged in civilian military activity"
and whose purpose is the "overthrow of a government . . . by use of violence . . ." be strictly enforced so that the
PLO terrorists will not be allowed to function unhindered in American and violence against Jews will be discour-
aged. Send ZOA a copy.
