Anti-Semitism continues
to be a major problem for the
American Jewish commu-
nity, according to a group of
AJCommittee experts.
While overt anti-Semitism
has been placed beyond the
pale of decent conduct, there
is no basis for compla-
cency, they noted.
In addition, a major factor
in igniting the flame of
anti-Semitism is the con-

FT. COLLINS, Colo.
(JTA) — A statewide series
of lectures slated in August

tribute to Raoul Wallen-

Dr. Carl Levine, Colorado

Orthodox Scholar Calls for Jewish Unity

Nations to "delegitimize Is-
rael."
Hyman Bookbinder,
reflecting the concerns of
his position as AJCom-
mittee's representative in
Washington, asserted
that "although the fight
against crude, vulgar,
explicit anti-Semitism in
America has been essen-
tially won, the fight
against the more subtle,
insidious allegations
against American Jews
and their goals has only
begun."
He cautioned that "when
Jewish advocacy of a public
policy cannot be refuted by
facts or logic, as in the
AWACS debate last year,
Jewish motives will be im-
pugned and the ugly charge
of dual loyalty will be
raised."
Nevertheless, he de-
clared, "We must reject the
advice of those who ask us to
desist from public debate or
advocacy on controversial
subjects lest that lead to
anti-Semitism. To do so is to

to Geneva to testify_before
the United Nations Human
Rights Commission on the
condition of Arabs in occu7
pied territories.
Salman Natour, a Druze
author, was ordered con-
fined to his village of
Daliyat Al Carmel, near
Haifa, for a period of six
months. The administrative
restriction, issued 10 days
ago, was signed by the mili-
tary commander of the
northern region. Natour is
secretary of the Committee
of Solidarity With the "Arab
People of the Golan."
During the 40-day Israeli
army blockade of Druze vil-
lages on the Golan Heights,
lifted late last month,
Natour transmitted infor-
mation from the four vil-
lages involved in contra-
vention of military orders.
He is also a member of
the Hadash Communist
Party and of the ,Druze
Initiative Committee
which actively opposes
the drafting of Israeli
Druze into the armed
forces.
The court gave no reason
for rejecting Natour's ap-
peal but issued an order giv-
ing the military authorities
11 days to show cause why
the restriction on Natour
should not be lifted.
In a related development,
Attorney General Yitzhak
Zamir administered an ob-
lique rebuke to the army
and police by implying that
the 40-day blockade im-
posed on four Druze villages
on the Golan Heights ear-
lier this year was an exces-
sive measure to impel the
Druze to accept Israeli iden-
tity cards.
Zamir is investigating
charges made by former
Supreme Court Justice
Haim Cohen's Association
for Civil Rights in Israel
that the army violated the
civil rights of the Golan
Druze.

lose the battle against
anti-Semitism even before
we begin.
"Rather, with confidence,
we must show how the
Jewish interest and the
American interest are not
in conflict."
Meanwhile, a West
German expert said open
and aggressive ex-
pressions of anti-
Semitism do not exist in
today's West Germany
but there are signs and
indications of both old
and new anti-Jewish feel-
ings among the Germans,
partly disguised as anti-
Zionism.
Dr.
Dietrich
Goldschmidt, a director of
the Max Planck Institute
for Education and Human
Development in West Be-
rlin, said that "the Anti-
Zionist position in West
Germany was taken both by
rightwing radicals and
leftwing political activists
supporting the Arab cause
in general and the PLO in
particular."
Moshe Arens, Israel's
Ambassador to the U.S.,
called for increased U.S. aid

to Israel in view of the "eco-
nomic burden" that Israel
has assumed as a result of
its final withdrawal from
Sinai.
Arens said the with-
drawal cost Israel about $21
billion. "So far, the U.S.
government did not assume
its fair share of this eco-
nomic burden taken by Is-
rael," the envoy said. He
added that the U.S. has an
"obligation" to share Is-
rael's burden in view of the
role it played in achieving
the peace between Israel
and Egypt.
Arens said that Israel's
greatest concession in
signing the Camp David
agreement was not re-
turning Sinai to Egypt
but the agreement to
grant an autonomy to the
Palestinians in Judea,
Samaria and the Gaza
District.
"Although I do not believe
that autonomy for the
Palestinians would lead to
the establishment of a
Palestinian state, the risk is
there," Arens declared. "We
took the risk for the sake of
peace," he said.

With the Saab,
you don't have to give up
performance, economy,
utility or luxury.
Just a f
misconception

Saabs offer the unique pleasure of driving in
the face of conventional wisdom.
Which holds, for example, that a big car on the
inside has to be a big car on the outside.
Or that a car with top grades in performance is
doomed to flunk gas mileage.
Or that a sedan can't possibly hold as much
cargo as a station wagon.
The engineers at Saab take exception to all this.
One test drive and you will, too.

SAAB

The most intelligent car
ever built.
