JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Ten years ago the Zionist
Council was formed to pro-
mote Zionist activities
within Israel.
Now, close to its 10th an-
niversary, the organization,
which is an umbrella group
for various Zionist bodies in
Israel, is also promoting
Zionist activities among the
Israeli Druze.
The council is actively in-
volved in supporting those
Druze — both in Israel itself
and on the Golan Heights —
who wish to acquire Israeli
citizenship and combat
Communist influence in the
Druze villages in Israel.
oin.e 40,000 Druze in
Israel are full citizens.
Several thousand Druze
on the Golan Heights are

Syrian citizens, but who
under recent legislation
can acquire Israeli citi-
zenship if they so wish.
This has been an issue of
controversy among the
Golan Druze. Five local
leaders sympathizing with
the Syrians, who cam-
paigned against acquiring
Israeli citizenship, were ar-
rested two months ago
under an administrative de-
tention order for their "sub-
versive actions."
Communist influence in
the Druze villages in Israel
is less effective than in the
Golan villages, but it is
growing stronger. The
Zionist Council began work-
ing with the Druze through
Druze "Zionist clubs" in the
villages. of Osfiya and
Daliat el-Carmel.
Thus, in its effort to work
not only with Jews but with
anyone who considers him-
self a Zionist, the council re-
cently promoted a rally in
Daliat el-Camel during
which the representatives
of the Golan Druze de-
manded that the entire
Druze community in Israel
support their demand for Is-
raeli citizenship.
They did not speak of
annexing the Golan, but
urged that Israel declare
that it would not desert
the Golan.
As a result, the Zionist
Council now plans to form a
Druze Zionist club on the
Golan, in addition to those
already in existence in Os-
fiya and Daliat el-Carmel.
Members of those clubs
represent the elite in Is-
rael's Druze community, in-
cluding reserve army offi-
cers. Members of the Druze
community, unlike the
Arabs in Israel, serve in Is-
rael's Defense Force.
The Zionist Council has
also invested considera-
ble efforts in another
sensitive area of Israel
public life: the advance-
ment of Jews from Arab
lands and North Africa
now living in Israel.
Last year the council held
11 seminars to disseminate
information about the cul-
ture and heritage of those
Jewish communities.
It cooperated with the
"Beyahad" group which or-
ganizes the Mimouna fes-
tivities of the Moroccan
Jews and sent leaders of the
various communities to ad-
dress students in an effort to
close the gap in their
knowledge about these
communities.
Toys Are Serious Business
another version of a sub-
marine game played by Is-
raeli children with pencil
and paper. In America,
"Battleship" became a
multi-million dollar hit.
Europe is the most impor-
tant market for Israeli toys.
The U.S. follows Germany
and England, mainly be-
cause few Israeli companies
can afford the large-scale
TV advertising, campaigns
crucial to selling toys to
American kids:
TEL AVIV (JNI) — Toys
are no longer a game in Is-
rael, but a serious industry
worth about $11 million in
1980 exports alone. Thirty-
five of the toy industry's 80
companies will display their
best products next week at a
Tel Aviv outdoor fair.
Since the government's
decision two decades ago to
foster toy manufacture as
an appropriate light indus-
try for a young state, dozens
of kibutzim have found a toy
factory a clean, workshop
industry well suited to
them.
Although innovation has
proven difficult, Israeli
companies and the govern-
ment have realized that to
compete abroad they must
constantly produce new toys
and games. The classic
example is the inventor who
took his game to an interna-
tional company after Is-
raelis refused to buy it. For
companies here, it was just
