THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Philanthropy, Defense Needed L (Continued from Page 16) neighboring village of Azivah, and to other places where they have been relo- cated in public buildings until a permanent ar- rangement is found. "The residents of Rashadiyeh left the area following warnings from the IDF prior to its cap- ture. To the best of our inowledge there were no -'civilian casualties either in Rashadiyeh or any- . where else in southern Lebanon, apart from the three cities of Tyre, Sidon and Nabatiyeh, or if there were, the number is min- imal. "All the residents of southern Lebanon who fled the hostilities and took shelter in orchards have now found temporary living quarters. "It is worth mentioning that 120,000 Lebanese ref- ugees who had fled to Beirut in the years 1975-1976 be- cause of the PLO, have now returned to their former places of residence and are trying to repair and build their homes, which were de- stroyed or damaged during these years. "According to estimates, the PLO suffered 1,000- 2,000 killed in the fighting in Lebanon. This is only an estimate. The above statis- tics do not include that part of southwest Beirut held by the PLO. "It is generally ac- cepted that the number of wounded in any war will be approximately three times the number of dead. It should be noted that the PLO and its sup- porters have ceased spreading rumors about the number of wounded. The reason is simple. The number of wounded can be checked in hospitals in southern Lebanon and Israel. "The number of civilian wounded who remain in hospitals in southern Leba- non and Israel is approx- imately 700." On the home front, edito- rials like that in the Detroit News, July 5, aroused in- dignation. The Detroit News is charged with bas- ing its attacks on Israel and accusations of mass mur- ders of civilians on the ear- liest advertisements in- serted in daily newspapers filled with figures which are constantly repudiated as fabrications. Then there are the adver- ''- -\ isements „ by Jews, includ- ing some of prominence, like Marie Syrkin, Elie Abel and others, who are now demanding that Israel withdraw from Lebanon immediately. These Jewish liberals are asked whether the anti-PLO campaign should be abandoned, should be permitted to re- turn to Israel's borders, should be encouraged to renew the massacres which compelled Israel's military actions into Lebanon. Meanwhile, there is a growing movement on the part of Lebanese Christians to assert themselves, assailing the Syrian and PLO intru- sions into Lebanon which contributed to that na- tion's tragedies since 1975. The critical advertise- ments, especially those by Jews, notably New Jewish Agenda, advocate Is- rael's withdrawal from Lebanon and for a speedy solution of the Palestinian problem, some advocating establishment of a new Pelestinian state. Much attention has been given in some quarters to the very critical articles by Nat Hentoff in Village Voice. One of his articles was reproduced in the Free Press on Sunday, and it was refuted in an extensive analysis of events and con- ditions in a parallel essay by Dr. Leon H. Warshay, pro- fessor of sociology at Wayne State Unviersity. Extensive coverage of the Lebanese situation in the New York Times includes daily reports by David Ship- ler. In one of them from Nabatiyeh, Lebanon, Ship- ler reported: "The Israeli troops have generally received good marks from the Lebanese for behavior. They seem to have obeyed their strict or- ders not to loot, and some Lebanese say that the only looting problems have oc- curred where no Israelis were around to stop local people. " 'Until now, there have been no problems from the Israeli Army,' said the mayor of Tyre, Ali Khalid Sha'alan. 'Nobody has sto- len anything. Nobody has attacked anybody. No soldier has tried to sneak anything with a girl.' " The Lebanese situation provides an interesting study in propaganda techniques. Anti-Israel advertisements are rep- licas of prejudicial statements with which Israel's enemies have bombarded her for many years. At the same time, it is evident that the anti-Israel forces are "copying history." For example: Qaddafi now proposes that the PLO defenders, rather than surrender in shame, should commit suicide, therby putting Is- raelis to shame and on the defensive. This is an evident effort to copy Masada. Much is said and pub- lished about the need for re- lief of sufferers from the Lebanese crisis. Even Mobil Oil, in a paid advertise- ment, undertook the sanctimony of listing organ- izations seeking funds for that purpose. Not a word about the massive Israeli ef- fort to provide food, medi- caments and medical aid to the needy! But the Jewish effort in a sense supersedes them all, and an American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee task in that field 0000000000000000000000000000000000000 of endeavor is described in this most recent report: JDC Describes Relief Efforts "Delivered on July 1 to senior social welfare offi- cers of Lebanese Ministry of Social Welfare in Tyre and Sidon 1,500 foam rubber mattresses, 300 boxes of cooking and eating utensils and 500 blankets (latter do- nated by Terre Des Hom- mes). Delivery effected without difficulty, with full cooperation of both Lebanese and Israeli offi- cials. "Actual distribution of these goods by Lebanese authorities will commence on July 7 upon completion of family-by-family survey of needs in both Tyre and Si- don. Our second shipment of 1,500 mattresses, 200 cook- ing sets and blankets will be made on July 5. "Social services in south Lebanon reportedly paralyzed since 1976.
