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.
