Israel Meanwhile, Health Minister Eliezer Shostack denounced In- ternational Red Cross figures on civilian casualties as "grossly exaggerated." Shostack said in his re- port to the Knesset Tuesday that 400 civilians were kil- led in Sidon, 50 in Tyre and 10 in Nabatiye. Israel's casualties after 20 days of fighting in Leba- non amounted to 269 soldiers killed and 1,255 wounded, a military spokesman said. The fig- ures given by Defense Minister Ariel Sharon were slightly higher: 271 dead, 11 missing and 1,470 wounded. Corrections on the number of Lebanese left homeless by the Israeli in- vasion also were issued by the Red Cross. Originally using the PLO estimates at the number of homeless, the Red Cross revised its report to state that nearly 300,000 have been left homeless by the fighting. Israel Defense Forces estimated the number of refugees to be 20,000. The Red Cross orig- inally placed the figure around 70,000. Holocaust, Genocide Parley Disrupted by Controversy By RABBI MARC H. TANENBAUM (A Seven Arts Feature) TEL AVIV, Israel — A running bitter feud between Armenians and Turks cast a pall of controversy over the International Conference on the Holocaust and Genocide that met in Tel NOW YOU CAN VOTE FOR SENATOR FAXON DEMOCRAT • 15TH DISTRICT Paid for by the Friends of Faxon 28610 Northwestern Hwy., Southfield, 48034 Aviv last week. The week-long conference was organized by prominent Jewish and Christian scholars to examine the growing epidemic threats to human life air over the world through massacres, rampant violence and ter- rorism. In planning the program, the conference director, psychologist Dr. Israel Charny, invited six papers to be delivered on the Armenian massacres in 1915. There were very few presentations on other con- temporary tragedies such as Cambodia, Uganda, the Soviet gulags, among others. The Turkish govern- ment protested to the Is- rael government that they were being maligned. Rumor then surfaced of threats and counter-threats against Israel, but the conference was not postponed or cancelled. The controversy became so embittered that the major speakers — Elie Wiesel, Robert J. Lifton, Alan Dershowitz, and this commentator were com- pelled to withdraw. I did so with a heavy heart. I came here believing that this meeting of impor- tant scholars from many disciplines could help mobilize the conscience of mankind to learn from the Nazi Holocaust how to stand against all forms of genocide directed against any innocent people. Even though this meet- ing has become sidet- racked from its primary goals, many of us here feel that another such meeting needs to be held soon, but organized in a far more politically sophisticated way. The original humanizing purposes of studying the dynamics of genocide must be realized. Congressman Pays Tribute •to Wallenberg at Luncheon Congressman Torn Lan- tos of California, who sur- vived the Nazi terror in Hungary, joined in paying honor to Raoul Wallenberg at the International Free- dom Festival luncheon at Cobo Hall Monday. Rep. Lantos, who was Wallenberg's messenger in Budapest during the period of the Swedish emissary's efforts which resulted in re- scuing some 20,000-50,000 Jews from certain death in Auschwitz, told the more than 1,000 at the luncheon: "A young Christian (Wal- lenberg) . . . left behind the comfort and safety, the se- curity and affluence of neutral Stockholm to come to the hell that was Budapest because he felt he was his brother's keeper." Rep. Lantos believes there is an "even chance" that Wallenberg, ar- rested in 1945 by the Soviets, is still alive in a Russian prison. Stanley Winkelman made the presentation of the Wallenberg Award, in behalf of the Freedom Fes- tival to Rep. Lantos. He elaborated the heroism of Wallenberg, spoke of his background as a University of Michigan graduate and cited memories of the Holocaust as a message to mankind never to forget the atrocities and never to per- mit their recurrence. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • 1982 • • • A • • • C DILLAC • SEE ME • • • • • • FOR YOUR • • :TIM AUDETTE • Sales & Leasing • • • • • • at AUDETTE CADILLAC • •7100 Orchard Lake. • • Rd. • • at Northwestern, •• • West Bloomfield • • • • (313) 851-7200 • • • • PERSONALIZED SERVICE • • GUARANTEED • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •__e_e_e_.• fa.. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • TUNE ON • :THE LATEST: • • • • • • • • • • • • • Remote Control • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • CASH & !
