His role in Zionism, his conflicts with the move- ment's leaders, commenc- ing with Theodor Herzl, his leadership in the movement for an Arab-Jewish accord, significantly affected pre- Israel thinking and contin- ued during statehood. The basic factors in the Martin Buber ideology ap- pear in what may well be termed the most scholarly study of his life and world. It is presented in "Existence and -Utopia: The Social and Political Thought of Martin Buber" (Fairleigh Dickin- son University Press) by Bernard Susser. Dr. Susser, a native New Yorker, earned his PhD at Columbia Univer- sity. He settled in Israel in 1969 and is senior lec- turer in the Bar-Ban Uni- versity and Tel Aviv Uni- versity political science departments. Dr. Buber had a 65-year history as a Zionist and the evaluative work by Dr. Sus- ser traces it in all its stages, with emphasis on the criti- cal period which began with a break with Dr. Theodor Herzl, the founder of the World Zionist Organization and the World Zionist Con- gresses. Buber leaned toward the cultural views of Ahad HaAm. In his early reference to Bub(r's asso- ciation with the Zionist movement, which began at the end of the last century, Susser states: "Buber's association with Zionism, which spanned a period of more than 65 years, began in the closing years of the 19th Century in the youthful Zionist circles of Berlin. From the very outset, as has been noted, his was a dissenting voice. So much so that at one point, after a particularly sharp disagreement, Herzl wrote Buber asking that he try to 'find his way back to the movement.' But Buber persisted in his opposition." "Vitriolic polemics" is the assignation given to the philosophic disputes that ensued. Susser gives an ac- count of Buber's leader- ship in Ihud, the move- ment that gained the support of Dr. Judah L. Magnes, first president of the Hebrew University, among others. It sought accord with Arabs, and on that theme there is the additional emphasis by Susser. It was on this score that Susser states in this defini- tive work on Buber: "It was often charged against Buber that the bi- national solution suited his tastes very well because he had neither appreciation for the land nor sympathy for the dream of an autonomous Jewish people in it. This of course was quite untrue. It which has been distorted until now; he is commanded to toil to restore and clear the road to mutual under- standing with the Arab people, a road that is at pre- sent covered by rubble.' " There is no limit to the commandment to serve the spirit must be fulfilled, from now on, in this country and from inside it. " 'Still, he who will serve the spirit truly and with all his heart is commanded to attempt to set straight that interest in Buber and Buberism and in "Existence and Utopia" Dr. Susser adds much additional, valuable material in explanation of both the philosopher and his views. —P.S. MARTIN BUBER JEWISH NEWS was not with ease or with joy that Buber relinquished his ideal of an all-Jewish Palestine. But, he began with the conviction that `neither people can get in Palestine all it wants and both people will have to make concessions.' "In order to prevent the inevitable bloodshed and to prevent even in the even- tuality of a Jewish victory — a fortress Israel living by its military prowess in hos- tile Arab encirclement, Buber was willing to forego the ideal of total indepen- dence in favor of bi- nationalism. It was all reality would allow. And it was enough, provided that the national rights of the Jewish community were guaranteed and an auton- omous national existence was possible." Susser makes this im- portant comment on Buber and his major views on Zionism and the Jewish state: "Among Israelis, he was quite an unpopular figure, a Propheta in Patria'; his name, more often than not, bringing a sour smile to their lips. And paradoxi- cally, while this name be- came a household word in the West, it was largely ig- nored, even unknown, among the youth of his own country. Still in 1958, the octogenarian wrote: " 'The form of the Jewish Republic that was born out of the war, the state of Is- rael, I accepted as my coun- try. I have nothing in corn- mon with those Jews who take it upon themselves to dispute the factual form of Jewish independence.

Briefing the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Secu- rity Committee on his visit to Cairo last week, Sharon said that after the Sinai withdrawal, Egypt will press Israel for more conces- sions but will not launch war against Israel or break diplomatic relations. Therefore, • Sharon recommended that Israel tone down its political dec- larations and not panic as the withdrawal date ap- proaches. _5,24 This newspaper is a product of millions of dollars in research and technology, yet it remains one of today's best bargains. r I I 17151 W. 9 Mile Rd., Suite 865 I Southfield, Mich. 48075 I Please send a year's gift subscription to: I 1 1 NAME 1 1 CITY I I ADDRESS OCCASION• I 1 FROM 1 I STATE I . li 1 To: The Jewish News ZIP I I I I 1 I I I 1 1 1 1 11 1 ❑ $15 enclosed I 1
