THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS

DECLARATION OF SOLIDARITY

The undersigned officers of Jewish communal organizations and
spiritual leaders of synagogues and temples in metropolitan Detroit
express their solidarity and support for their brothers and sisters in
Israel. This is the hour when the years of terrorism which they have
suffered from the presence of the PLO in Lebanon appear about to
end.

We know and are anguished that many innocent people in
Lebanon have suffered death and injury in the process. We are
mindful that had prompt action been taken when the PLO first
occupied Lebanon and subverted the peace and freedom of that
country, the current military action would not have been
undertaken.

We are encouraged that our government is working hard to find a
fair and just solution to the problem. This will ensure for the
people of Lebanon the benefit of self-government and assure the
security of the people of Israel. We strongly endorse President
Reagan's call for the removal of all foreign forces from Lebanon, a
secure northern border for Israel and the restoration of Lebanese
sovereignty.

Such a solution to the current crisis offers, in our view, the best
hope for encouraging a continuation of progress in the search for
permanent peace in the Middle East.
