THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
Public Opinion and the White House Must Never Submit to Distortions
(Continued from Page 2)
"In 1976 Syria intervened
in the civil war, amongst
other things, to crush the
PLO and bring it under Sy-
rian control, since both the
Lebanese Army and the
Phalange had been unable
to constrain its activities. In
Oct. 1976, Arab summit
conferences in Cairo and
Riyadh put a formal end to
the civil war and estab-
',ished a special committee
.of four Arab states to over-
see the implementation of
the Cairo Agreement with-
in 45 days. Yasir Arafat, on
behalf of the PLO, under-
took to abide by that agree-
ment, to respect Lebanon's
sovereignty and not to
intervene in Lebanon's
internal affairs.
"Six months later the
Special Committee dis-
solved after failing to make
any progress on the im-
plementation of the Cairo
Agreement. (This commit-
tee has now been recreated
to deal with the current
crisis.) In the meantime, the
PLO had taken advantage
of the vacuum created in the
south to enhance its mili-
tary position there.
"This time the Christian
militia of Major Haddad
took upon itself the task of
controlling the Palestinian
presence. PLO refusal to re-
spect its commitments led to
yet another large-scale con-
flict in July 1977. At that
point, Syria convened a con-
ference at Shtaura with the
time-worn aim of control-
ling the PLO's presence in
Lebanon. Again the PLO af-
fixed its signature to the
subsequent agreement
(Salah Khalaf signed for the
PLO).
"The Shtaura Agreement
(1977) — Lebanese
authority would be restored
to all Lebanese territory
and inhabitants, refugee
camps would be controlled
by Lebanese and Arab De-
terrent (Syrian) Forces, the
PLO would surrender all
heavy weapcins, the PLO
would be forbidden from
importing arms and ammu-
nition in any quantity, no
military training by the
11,0 would be permitted
and Lebanese authority
would be extended to the
south and the PLO would be
confined to the Arqub (east-
ern) region.
"While again declaring
its willingness to imple-
ment and respect the
agreement, the PLO sys-
tematically flaunted its
main clauses, asserting its
own control over the citi-
zens and territory of south-
ern Lebanon, building up its
military bases in the cities
as well as the refugee camps
of the south, accumulating
heavy weapons, importing
and stockpiling huge quan-
tities of arms and ammuni-
tion, training not only its
own personnel but also the
terrorist recruits of over a
score of other countries, and
preventing the extension of
Lebanese authority to
southern Lebanon.
"Over the next four years
the Lebanese authorities
tried time and again to get
the PLO to respect the
agreements which it had
signed. In May 1978, Arafat
signed yet another agree-
ment designed to restore
Lebanese authority to the
south and put an end to
`armed manifestations'
there. In May 1979, the PLO
agreed to cease its activities
and close its offices in the
south.
"The PLO's pattern of ig-
noring signed agreeinents is
clear. Each time the PLO
has agreed in principle to
end its terrorist activities
and respect Lebanese
authority. Each time, the
PLO has effectively resisted
every effort to implement
these agreements."

Embracing Arafat
Now it is Arafat again —
in a Paul McCloskey em-
brace.
The terrorist hadn't even
pledged recognition of Is-
rael. It was a quest for
recognition, and the White
House and the State De-
partment will learn soon
enough that just as McClos-
key couldn't gain recogni-
tion for Israel from ter-
rorists, neither will they.
Arafat's role remains in the
ranks of murderers of chil-
dren — Maalot will not be
forgotten — so has McClos-
key deposited himself in the

JERUSALEM — Rabbi
Meir Kahane, leader of the
Kach movement, was ar-
rested Tuesday for ordering
his followers to attempt to
break up a protest demon-
stration against Israel's in-
vasion of Lebanon.
A police spokesman said
that Rabbi Kahane and an-
other person were being de-
tained for "distrupting the
public order" but that they
were to be released later in
the week.

SOLIDARITY TOUR
to ISRAEL
The media is rapidly turning American sentiments away from
Israel and towards the Arab states. It is time for all of us to
demonstrate our support for Israel --- not by bearing arms and
risking our lives as the valiant men and women of Israel have
done, but by going as tourists to vacation, and sightsee, and
yes, spend our money.

DETROIT AREA JEWISH COMMUNITY
An Open Letter to the Jewish Community.
Ayre Zimuki, Chairman of the Zionist Council in Israel recently
wrote that "it is indeed painful to note that following our previous
wars which we were forced to fight, thousands of Jews from
abroad flocked here to join us as ohm (newcomers) and tourists,
while there appears to be no such manifestation, now".

His record is clear. He has
constantly, contrary to U.S.
policy, pushed for an Arafat
entry into Civilized areas.
He knew and he knows it
won't work. He must have
heard the tongue-in-cheek
asseverations by the
spokesmen for PLO, actu-
ally repudiating anything
relating to a human gesture
toward Israel.
Now is the time for all
Americans of good faith to
address themselves to the
President and the Secretary
of State, admonishing
against being misled into
the tragedy of giving credi-
bility to mass murderers.
The most tragic factor in
this period of great stress for
Israel and Jewry is the
minute group of Jews who
receive recognition in non-
Jewish ranks. They speak
