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 (Geography), Yehoshafat Harkabi (History of Muslim Countries, International Relations), Dan Horowitz (Political Science, Sociol- YEHOSHAFAT HARKABI ogy), Ruth Lapidoth (International Law), Shalom 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 (Continued on Page 16) 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." (Continued on Page 7) 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 PLO's menace from Israel's Northern Galilee settle- ments.

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.

Beyond the present context of the war in Lebanon there is appre- hension here that George Shultz, Presi- dent Reagan's nominee to suc- ceed Haig, may add his weight and voice to what is seen here as a pro- Arab trend within the Ad- ALEXANDER HAIG ministration.
