Major Saad Haddad Assesses the Lebanon Situation (Editor's note: The following interview was given by Major Saad Haddad, leader of the Christian forces in south Lebanon, with Brazilian journalist Ben Abraham, who writes a column for the newspaper Folha da Tarde.) Q: What have been the consequences for Lebanon arising from the presence of the PLO? A: They have scared the population. In our country they have become real. terrorists. That's why I think it would be the biggest crime in history to give them their own state. That state would become a base for terrorism. As it is, the world has enough of a base for terrorism in Qaddafi's Libya, but if you want to have more . . . Q: Talks have been held recently in an attempt to reach a solution to the chaos in Lebanon. Under what conditions are you willing to negotiate? A: Only when the PLO leaves Lebanon! There can be no negotiations over The Media and the Multiple Issues Affecting Israel's Right to Pre-Emptive Self-Defense Commentary, Page 2 Editorial, Page 4 this point! You can't negotiez with somebody who burned and ruined your country and who has acted as i criminal to our people. The main point is that Lebanese sovereignty must be established in all of Lebanon's territory. We don't want even a centimeter of Lebanon to be given to anybody, including Syria. Q: If I understand you correctly, you will negotiate only when there are no more PLO troops in the country — and no more Syrians? A: That's right. When all foreign troops leave, we Lebanese will discuss among ourselves what is good for Lebanon. The world should help us force the PLO from Lebanon. Remember what King Hussein did in 1970 — he killed about 20,000 of them and got them out of Jordan. Now, no other Arab country will let them behave the way they do in Lebanon.

If successful, the AJCommittee asserted, the Arab-initiated scheme "would cast disrepute on the World Heritage Committee as it lends itself to patent political purposes." According to the AJCommittee, members of the World Heritage Committee have promoted an extraordinary session in September in order to have Jordan nominate the Old City of Jerusalem as part of "the cultural heritage of mankind meriting protection and conservation." "Because the UNESCO Convention emphasizes that the primary role in identifying and conserving any part of man- kind's cultural heritage belongs to the state on whose territory this is located," the AJCommittee stated, "approval of Jordan as a nominee for Jerusalem's Old City is, in effect, to deny that this is Israeli territory." The entire move, according to the AJC, is contrary to the purposes for which the convention came into being. Jordan, it stated, is in no position to undertake any preservation or conservation of the Old City of Jerusalem since this is now under effective Israeli jurisdiction and control. Urging community leaders to help defeat the proposal, the AJC describes it as "an expensive international farce under UNESCO au- spices which can only cast disrepute on the World Heritage Committee as it lends itself to patent political purposes rather than concentrating on its proper task."

According to Howard Squadron, chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, who will take part in the meeting, about "eight or ten" Jewish leaders will attend. The meeting was requested by the Egyptians, he said. FISHER SADAT Among the Jewish leaders scheduled to be at the meeting are, according to Squadron: Max Fisher, chairman of the Board of Governors of the Jewish Agency; Edgar Bronfman, president of the World Jewish Congress; Frieda Lewis, president of Hadassah; Alexander Schindler, president of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations; and Ivan Novick, president of the Zionist Organization of America. Squadron said that during the meeting, "which will probably not be very long," the Jewish leaders will make the point that it is important to conclude the autonomy (Continued on Page 12) Begin Presents Coalition, USSR Plan JERUSALEM (JTA) — Prime Minister Menahem Begin called for "normalization of relations" with the Soviet Union and a defense treaty-with the U.S., but added that in both cases the initiative must come from the superpowers. Begin made the remarks during his Knesset address Wednesday, presenting his new Cabinet to the house. He devoted much of his speech to party polemics — thus, setting the tone for a bitter debate. Labor opposition leader Shimon Peres, who followed the premier to the rostrum, accused Begin of engaging in "incitement" and said this was the first time a premier had used his Cabinet presentation address for such a partisan purpose. In the policy portion of his remarks the premier made the following points: (Continued on Page 10) Hadassah Vocation Guidance Institute Agencies Back Decision on 'Who Is a Jew' Issue Given 5250,000 Lindenbaum Center Establishment of the Reva and Harry Lindenbaum Center of the Hadassah Vocational Guidance Institute in Jerusalem was announced this week by Annette Meskin, president of Metropolitan Detroit Chapter of Hadassah. The $250,000 gift honoring his wife Reva, who died May 14, 1975, and their parents, Lemel and Zivia .idenbaum and Jonathan and Rucia Duscoff, was made this week by Harry Lindenbaum. In 1967, Harry and Reva Lindenbaum contributed $150,000 for the build- ing of the three-story Hadassah Nurses' Home at Ein Kerem. The nursing residence has been used as an inducement for nursing students in an effort to relieve the critical shortage of nurses in Israel. The Hadassah Vocational Guidance Institute in which the Lindenbaum Center will be located is the only non-public center recognized by the Israel government. It offers individual counselling, group guidance and selection testing. The 16,000 clients handled annually are augmented by thousands reached by mail, telephone and mobile crews. The institute is accredited by the Hebrew University for those serving internships required for an MA in vocational counselling. In addition to basic psychological tests — over 100 of them — devised specifically to deal with the special population of Israel, the institute has begun to build a library of data profiling over 400 occupations and a compendium of study and training THE LINDENBAUMS (Continued on Page 6) it NEW YORK (JTA) — Three major Jewish agencies — the Ameri- can Jewish Committee, American Jewish Congress and the Anti- Defamation League of Bnai Brith — issued a joint statement last Thursday expressing satisfaction at the retention in its present form of Israel's Law of Return and urging Israel's leaders to continue to reject all demands for its revision. The three community relations agencies, in their statement, said: tt . .. We are naturally concerned over any issue causing fundamental division or dissension within the Jewish commu- nity and especially anything that would weaken the bond of solidarity between Israel and the Jewish communities in the Diaspora. "We believe that recent efforts to reopen the issue of 'Who is a Jew' would have introduced such a division and dissension at a time when maximum unity is imperative among the Jewish people. "We therefore welcome the news that the Council of Torah Sages has decided not to make its demand for a change in the Law of Return an ultimatum for Agudat Israel's support of a new government; we hope that the National Religious Party will make a similar decision . . ." The three agencies asked the citizens of Israel to recognize reli- gious diversity and reject changing the Law of Return.
