Friday, June 25, 1982 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Shmuel Katz Retains Pessimism that the Camp David Decision Won't Avoid War Shmuel Katz began as an adviser to Menahem Be- gin's negotiations with Egypt. His lack of confi- dence in the projected peace plans led to a pessimism he retains to this day. He opposed the Camp David agreements, expresd- ing suspicions which even now cause him to believe a war is inevitable. He doubts whether Egypt will stay out of such a war. In the third of his three books, "The Hollow Peace," blished in Israel by Dvir id the Jerusalem Post, dis- tributed in this country by Americans for a Safe Israel, he traces the developments which led to the Camp David negotiations. In a sense this book is autobiog- raphical, as a personal document explaining why he left the Begin govern- ment, in the early years of which he was a dominant factor as minister of infor- mation. • • II • • • • • • • • • • • • • • FOR • YOUR. • : 1982 • • CADILLAC • • • • SEE ME • TIM AUDETTE • • Sales & Leasing • • • • • • at AUDETTE CADILLAC • • 7100 Orchard Lake• • • Rd. • • at Northwestern, • • • West Bloomfield • • • (313) 851-7200 • • • • PERSONALIZED SERVICE • • • • • GUARANTEED •• • • • • • • • • • • SHMUEL KATZ His break was with the views both of Menahem Begin and Moshe Dayan. Concessions are charged to both, and Begin is por- trayed as yielding to Dayan when he wished to avoid controversy. Katz is especially ac- cusatory when dealing with Dayan. He relates how he had irritated members of Cbngress and Senator Henry Jackson is quoted about Dayan at a time when there were Congressional plans for action. It is said that Dayan "pulled the rug from under our feet." Dayan is accused of hav- ing failed to call In the re- serves during the critical Yom Kippur War. Katz also charges: "Not only had Dayan from the outset been blind to the iminence of war, not only had he not given the CGS (Chief of General Staff) permission to mobilize the whole reserves complex, not only had he not authorized the air force to make a pre- emptive strike, but when the IDF (Israel Defense Force) was forcibly repulsed from its positions, he had also been overcome by a dreadful spirit of de- featism." While Katz's "The Hol- low Peace" was pub- lished before the Sinai withdrawal, his book is his view on the develop- ments.

GENIUS 28958 Orchard Lake Road Farmington Hills He expresses hope for the rise of a concerted and effec- tive new leadership in Is- rael and his special concern for economic realities is also an evaluation of the eco- nomic conditions in the land and the nation's reactions. His view is a call to an effort at firm solution: "Nevertheless, in certain strata of the public — and not necessarily the most needy ones — there has spread a spirit of in- souciance, of singleminded pursuit of a higher standard of living, of keeping up with the neighbors, a perversion of values that might per- haps make the individual's daily life more pleasant, if only temporarily, but which weakens the fiber of the na- tion .. . "A change in the indi- vidual's way of life is the first step towards far- reaching change in the life of society as a whole and ul- timately even in the han- dling of the country's foreign relations. The sense of togetherness and equal- ity of effort is a uniting, strengthening factor, espe- cially when a people is in difficulties or distress. It is a factor, moreover, that in- vites, from strangers as well, sympathy and iden- tification. "The individual citizen should certainly demand the same attitude, the same thrift, and civic re- sponsibility from his leaders. If the awareness takes root in the public's consciousness that the situation of the nation demands sacrifices, it will turn its back on those leaders who pretend that they intend to improve the citizen's material cir- cumstances." Judea, Samaria Property Boom David and the immediate aftermath. It is an accusat- ory volume and it has a place among the important definitive works on the de- liberations, in which President Jimmy Carter emerges in his role as advo- cate for the Palestinians. Issues and personalities are dealt with bluntly by Katz. He is not popular as a columnist in official Israel circles. His book adds to such aggravations. Yet it cannot be erased from his- torical records. TEL AVIV (ZINS) — The Hebrew newspaper Haaretz has reported an increase in new land purchases in Judea and Samaria. There is a connection be- tween this increased ac- tivity and the government's policy awarding generous compensation to Yamit residents who voluntarily relinquished their holdings prior to the evacuation of Sinai, according to the paper. NEW YORK—The Anti - Defamation League of Bnai Brith has criticized the Na- tional Council of Churches for its support of the Pales- tine Liberation Organiza- tion. In a resolution adopted at ADL's recent National Commission meeting, the League urged "all reli- giously motivated persons to reject those who support terrorists and their methods." Hebrew for Tots MONTREAL (JTA) — Children are introduced to Hebrew in the nursery of the Associated Hebrew Schools of Toronto and speak Hebrew by the time they enter first grade. This summer one-third of the nation will be ill-housed, ill-nourished and ill-clad. Only they call it a vacation. —Joseph Salak DESIGN-Cr Laminated Tables Residential & Commercial Graphic Wall Design KEITH SCHARE Moses led 600,000 Is- raelite slaves and their families from Egypt.
