Israel, Egypt Work on Border,
Mubarak Visit Is Still Pending
Best Kept Secret In Town!
AT
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
and Egypt remain
at odds over border demar-
cation at Taba, near Eilat,
and several other points
along their Sinai border.
But both countries are de-
termined to resolve these
differences through amica-
ble negotiation in time for
the final Israeli pullback
from Sinai on April 26.
This was the main burden
of press conference state-
ments by Egyptian Deputy
Premier and Foreign Minis-
ter Kemal Hassan Ali and
his host, Israeli Defense
Minister Ariel Sharon, at
the end of the Egyptian
minister's three-day visit to
Israel. Ali flew home Wed-
nesday.
The two men will meet
again in Cairo within two or
three weeks — at the head
of the "Joint High Commis-
sion" — for a further at-
tempt to resolve the dis-
putes. In the interim, the
two governments will con-
sider the proposals that
were put forward during
Ali's talks.
Ali had nothing new to
say on the prospect of
President Hosni
Mubarak visiting Israel.
Ali repeated his state-
ment Tuesday that
Mubarak has reiterated
to Israel Prime Minister
Menahem Begin, in an
oral message, his desire
to come, and Begin for his
part had "re-extended"

OPEN LETTER TO THE JEWISH COMMUNITY .. .
I want to report what a very good friend of American Jewry had to say, because I feel
he is telling us something every one of us should seriously heed.
Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, the former UN Ambassador and en eloquent defender of
Israel, criticized the American Jewish Community for what he called "a willful pattern of avoidance"
of the issues and events that have helped lead the U.S. away from support of Israel and closer to
the Arab viewpoint.
He cited the fact that a number of Jews in government and private industry were privately
suggesting to Senators during the AWACS debate that it would be better for Israel and American
Jews to have the arms deal go ghrough than to suffer the wrath of an embarrassed Administration
and a possible backlash of anti-Semitism in this country.
"There's a sense that many Jews do not want to know what's being said about Israel," said
Moynihan, "and that astounds me ... It's the same mentality that German Jews had in the 1930s
. . .
The Senator's thesis is that ever since the Six Day War of 1967 when the Soviets saw that the
Arab armies could not defeat Israel on the battlefield, they have been pursuing a plan to defeat her
in the political and diplomatic arena by delegitimizing her. "Israel has become an isolated nation in
the world community, she is perceived as illegal, a non-state," he asserted. The American Jewish
community has failed to comprehend the extent of this de .legitimization and the dangers it has
wrought as well.
He told of how, as America's UN Ambassador in 1975, he was stunned at the non-reaction of
the government and many in the Jewish community to the planned Zionism-equals-racism
resolution. "No one wanted to know and I kept thinking 'what in God's name is going on here.' Even
Jews I spoke to said, 'Well, it's just words.' But I disagree. There are consequences to words, as
Distrali said, 'It is words we govern men.' -
Moynihan feels, "Our silence haS' let these events take place." He called on the Jewish
community to "learn more about what is going on" and, in addition to their financial support of
Israeli causes, make their voices heard in Washington. The Senator concluded, "The failure of the
Jewish community to respond to what's going on is incredible to me."
After 19 centuries of dispersion, persecution and humiliation; after the murder of our 6
million with no rescue or help after our 6,000 died fighting for the liberation of the Jewish
people — finally Israel, our ancestral homeland, was reborn. But our good friend is telling us
he sees many of our people acting as if the fight is over. We at the ZOA know the fight is not
over — there is a matter of Israel's survival. We know there is an organized hostility that not
only erodes support for Israel, but also misleads some of our own people. I suggest we take
to heart that well-meant criticism and all of us try harder to more effectively fight back.

Shamir Asks
Western Help
in Lebanon
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Foreign Minister Yitzhak
Shamir called on "France
and the West" last week to
help Lebanon free itself
from the shackles of occupa-
tion by Syria and the Pales-
tine Liberation Organiza-
tion.
Shamir, addressing visit-
ing French paratroopers,
said the Lebanese wanted to
reassert their independence
but the presence in their
country of 30,000 Syrian
troops and 20,000 PLO ter-
rorists effectively prevents
this.
Israeli army sources,
meanwhile, confirmed that
Syrian troops have moved
into the ruins of the
Beaufort Castle, an ancient
fortress in southern Leba-
non, which has long been
used as a PLO artillery posi-
tion.
Mayor Provokes
Resort Boycott
VIENNA (JTA) — Sev-
eral travel agencies, mainly
in Holland, have announced
that they would boycott the
Tyrolean ski resort of
Mayrhofen because its
Mayor, Franz Hausberger
served in the infamous SS
1st Infantry Brigade in
World War II.
proceedings
Legal
against Hausberger were
recently dropped by the In-
nsbruck District Attorney
for lack of evidence.
the invitation. The tim-
ing, and, more impor-
tantly, the question of
whether Mubarak will
come to Jerusalem,
would be decided in later
discussions, Ali said.
Sharon and Ali both refer
to the border problems as
"technical." Sources on both
sides said the likely solu-
tion, once it is finalized,
would involve some form of
`functional' arrangements
whereby Israel will be able
to operate the large new
hotel nearing completion in
Taba without border re-
strictions but at the same
time Egypt will not give up
its assertion of sovereignty
over the area.
(The Taba site stretches
across less than one-half
mile of coastline. Other dis-
puted border points involve
much less land, some of
them merely a few yards.)
Ali said it was inconceiv-
able that this dispute could
lead to "a standstill" at this
11th hour, after the two
sides, through courage and
perseverance, had-overcome
so many much bigger prob-
lems over four years of
peacemaking. Sharon ag-
reed that there was no cause
for anxiety over the future
state of relations.
Meanwhile, Moshe
Cassuto, head of the Is-
rael Government Tourist
Office in Cairo, reported
this weekend that Egypt
is lifting some of the obs-
tacles that have re-
stricted Egyptian
tourists from visiting Is-
rael.
He said Egypt is lifting
some of the red tape, and is
now issuing second
passports in two-to-four
weeks time for Egyptians
wishing to visit Israel.
The second passport is is-
sued so that the original
passport will not have an Is-
raeli entry stamp, which
would prevent the visitor
from later entering Arab
countries.
