Key to M.E. Peace Solution
Meld by Lebanese Christians
Hebrew U. Territorial
Revision Plan Would
Add Judea, Samaria
JERUSALEM — A plan suggesting the annexation to
Israel of about 2,000 sq. km. of land across the Green Line
— the absolute minimum necessary as part of a future
peace settlement which would repartition Mandatory
Palestine — has been put forward by a research seminar
held under the suapices of the Leonard Davis Institute of
International Relations at the Hebrew University of
Jerusalem. The plan was drawn up following thoroughgo-
ing practical and theoretical discussions.
If adopted, the plan would
increase Israel's Arab popu-
lation by 133,500 persons.
The towns of Tulkarm and
Kalkilya are located within
the area being proposed for
annexation to Israel.
The seminar partici-
pants, who were drawn from
various academic disci-
plines as well as from the
Israeli foreign service, in-
cluded: Profs. Nissim Bar-
Yaakov (International Re-
lations), Moshe Brawer

Reichman (Geography) and Drs. Baruch Kimmerling
(Sociology) and Gabriel Sheffer (Political, Science).
Noting that their proposal does not attempt to
offer an overall solution to Israel's security problems,
the authors assert that all the remaining security-
linked issues will have to be resolved through specific
arrangements. In practice, these arrangements will
take the form of security zones or security installa-
tions in areas which, by the terms of a future peace

Academics Rally
for Zionist Aims
NEW YORK — Nobel laureate Saul
„ Bellow was among the more than 2,000
intellectuals, including university pro-
fessors, rabbis and other leaders in the
field of education who have signed a
statement affirming the aims and ideals
of Zionism.
"We must respond to the continuing
attacks against Israel which are intended
("1--- de-legitimize the very existence of the
wish state" declared Paula Hyman,
associate professor of Jewish history at
the Jewish Theological Seminary of
America, as she announced the response
to a statement of Zionist affirmation
sponsored by the Zionist Academic Coun-
cil. Hyman, the newly-elected vice
chairman of that body, further noted "It is
especially heartening, during these dif-
ficult times, to get such a positive re-
sponse from the academic community."

Assurances that Israel's military operations ousting the PLO from Lebanon and freeing that nation
from Syrian domination is now a fait accompli and makes the Christian elements the most responsible in
seeking a solution on the stress for peace and the eventual removal of all non-Lebanese from the agonized
country.
The PLO's submission to Israel's 'demands, the assurance that Lebanon will be rid of its occupying
power, will add to the sense of relief from the tensions which turned Lebanon into a battleground since
1970, the country's virtual civil war accounting for some 100,000 dead and an equal number of injured as
victims of the Syrians and PLO.
Cheering receptions accorded Israelis by Christians, who now declare they are happy their country is
at last being rid of the PLO, negate reports of bitterness engendered by the demands from Jerusalem that
Syrians as well as the PLO be far removed from any repeating dangers to Israel or domination over
Lebanon by forces advocating Israel's destruction.
In the developing situation, the leader of the opposition, Shimon Peres, who heads the Labor
factions in Israel, declared that his party will not be an obstacle to the military actions, but would
oppose any Israeli actions within the confines of West Beirut. Peres would not comment on the
peace demonstrations opposing Israel's military actions, reserving criticisms to debates in the
Knesset.
Protests against the war actions mounted, however, the soldiers returning from the Lebanese front
joined in demanding an end to warfare.
There are demonstrations protesting the war in many quarters, including New York as well as in Tel
Aviv, but they did not distupt the unity of support Menahem Begin has enrolled in the task of removing

Project to Fi ght Anti- Semitism
Begun by Detroit Archdiocese
In a front page article by Jim Stackpoole, the current issue of the Michigan Catholic
announces the introduction of a new project to fight anti-Semitism, with Christian
religious leaders leading the planned activities.
The Stackpoole article lists increasing anti-Semitic trends and analyzes the proj-
ected campaign against prejudice to be conducted under the name of the Ecumenical
Institute for Jewish-Christian Studies.
The Jewish-Catholic-Protestant consortium, which is being sponsored by the Ar-
chdiocese of Detroit, will hold its sessions at the North Congregational Church of
Southfield. The Rev. James R. Lyons will serve as institute director.
Rev. Lyons believes the increase in anti-Semitism is rooted in the Bible and
he has noticed bigotry against Jews in some of the evangelical programs cur-
rently running on television, according to Stackpoole's article in the Michigan
Catholic.
Television evangelism, with its unending message that salvation is only for the
Christians, can be rife with anti-Semitism, Rev. Lyons said.
Rev. Lyons is hopeful that within three years the institute will have a positive
impact on the fight against anti-Semitism. "We're moving away from a teaching of
contempt to a teaching of mutual understanding of common roots," he said.
The institute's educational programs will include public lectures, travel-study
seminars, theological study groups, publication of educational materials and a speakers
bureau.

Haig Departure
