U.S. Papers Denounced Paris Bombing
NEW YORK — More
than half the nation's 50 top
circulation newspapers
made no editorial comment
on the Oct. 13 Paris
synagogue bombing. The 22
which did comment were
, unanimous in denouncing
the terrorist attack.
Editorial reaction to the
bombing was the topic of the
latest Anti-Defamation
League of Bnai Brith "Big
government with the
Nazis during World War
II;
• The Paris bombing was
part of a broader pattern of
terrorism in Europe and the
rest of the world;
• The French govern-
ment should be more vigor-
ous in combatting neo-
Nazis and terrorism;
• Pro-Arab, anti-Israel
attitudes of the French gov-
ernment may be contribut-
ing to anti-Semitism.
Some of the papers
praised the French people

The 22 newspapers
sounded several themes in
their comments:

Palestinians Key to Peace?
NEW YORK — An
argument against Palesti-
nian self-determination is
presented by Oberlin Col-
lege Prof. Steven E. Plaut
in a recent edition of the
New York Times. Plaut,
who claims that self-
determination for the
Palestinians is not the key-
to peace in the Middle East,
as many believe, states:
"The true key to peace lies
in convincing the Arabs of
the futility of trying to de-
stroy Israeli self-
determination . . . The fact
must be faced that Palesti-
nian `self-determination'
has become a euphemism
for the liquidation of Israel.
Like 'white power' and
`states rights,' in this coun-
try, Palestinian rights' has
become a racist buzz word
disguising the intention of
supressing the rights of an-
other group.
"Of course, Palestinians,
like white folks, do have
rights. But these do not in-
clude the violent destruc-
tion of Israel — the only
`right' the PLO seeks to
exercise."
