(JTA) — In the wake of the "new reality" that has emerged in the Middle East with the Israeli invasion into Lebanon and the sig- nificant military setback to the Palestine Liberation Organization, Thomas Dine, executive director of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, said the U.S. should now press Saudi Arabia and Jordan to par- ticipate in direct negotia- tions with Israel.

Take advantage of -- ternational pressure is mounting for the removal of all military presence from the country — Syrian as well as Israeli," Dine de- clared in an address to the 600 delegates who attended the four-day 73rd annual convention of Bnai Zion last weekend. Dine urged the simulane- ous withdrawal of Israel and Syrian forces and the introduction of "a true peacekeeping force" to pre- vent the PLO from reform- ing as a military power. This presence he suggested, could be either a strong Lebanese force patrolling a widened buffer zone be- tween Israel and Lebanon, a multinational peacekeep- ing unit or an apolitical force. Also hailing the oppor- tunity which has arisen from the Israeli opera- tion was Dr. Joseph Sternstein, president of the American Zionist Federation, who said at the opening session that the Reagan Administra- tion could now launch a new effort to promote peace, security and sta- bility in the Middle East. Sternstein hailed the opportunity which he said had been created by Israel's Defense Force to restore Lebanon's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Declaring that the PLO "must not be permitted to re-establish itself," Sterns- tein said, "we call upon the United States not to pres- sure Israel into withdraw- ing from Lebanon until guarantees to Israel's secu- rity and Lebanon's sover- eignty and freedom are ar- ranged and implemented through a multinational peace keeping force with strong United States par- ticipation:" today at USA Real A Vest Inc.

He said most Jews in mixed marriages "do want to remain Jewish" and that "when the Jewish spouse wants to raise his or her children as Jews, that is how they are raised." He asserted that one- third of those non-Jews who marry Jews and then con- vert make the decision after the marriage rather than before.
