NEW YORK — Anti-
Israel reports, contained in
news releases, television
and radio broadcasts and
letters to the editors of
newspapers, are refuted not
only by students of the situ-
ation in Lebanon, but also
by the Lebanese them-
selves.
One such repudiation ap-
peared in the July 25 New
York Times. An article by
David Shipler, the Times'
Jerusalem correspondent,
provides a thorough
analysis of the turbulence
during six years of PLO rule
in Lebanon.
The Palestinians "had
something closely ap-
proaching an independent
state" in Lebanon, the
Times said. "But politics
here was much more than
patronage and debate. The
major tool of persuasion was
the gun, according to those
who lived through it."
Lebanese nationals,
both Christian and Mos-
lem, were eager to speak
out against the PLO, the
Times said.
"In the picturesque
Maronite Christian village
of Lebaa, east of Sidon, for
example, (a man) arranged
for Palestinians to rent a
country house belonging to
the father of Dolly Raad, a
26-year-old executive of
Middle East Airlines. Miss
Raad said it was a deal
made both in acquiescence
to the occupiers and to the
prospect of money, for the
PLO leaders had, by all ac-
counts, a lot of money.
"The Palestinians turned
the house into a restaurant
and casino, provoking com-
plaints from neighbors
about noise and an unsav-
ory clientele. Then, about
two years ago, they locked it
up, abandoned it and stop-
ped paying rent, Miss Raad
explained. 'We asked for it
back. They said no.'
"Both Lebanese and
Palestinians describe such
outright theft as a common
practice of the PLO guerril-
las. They often took things
from shops without paying,

plained. Youssef Alifreh, a
young Palestinian resident
of the Burj al Shemali camp,
near Tyre, confirmed it.
`Now we are happy because
the armed PLO left,' he de-
clared. 'When somebody
wanted to buy something,
he would take it and not
pay, and if someone would
complain, he would shoot
him.' "
The presence of the
PLO has induced a
paranoia forcing many
Lebanese people to
change their lifestyles,
according to the Times.
"Ahlam Ghandour, whose
husband is a wealthy im-
porter, said she protected
her luxurious house in the
hills outside Nabatiye by
never leaving it empty, by
never going away on trips,
by staying_alert to any sign
of PLO encroachment.
`Once a Palestinian came
and put a Land-Rover at my
house,' she recalled, 'I said
Please don't leave it here,
maybe an Israeli plane will
see it and bomb my house.
He said, Okay , and left.'
"There were overtones
here of a class struggle, for
the poor Palestinians in the
camps had provided cheap
labor for years in the citrus
groves and the factories of
the wealthy Lebanese. And
although some Palestinians
had made it up and out of
the camps, achieving higher
education and often some
wealth themselves, the
masses had not. The rank
and file of the guerrillas
seemed to come from the
lowest strata, and often,
therefore, the PLO's armed
muscle blended with a bit-
ter material greed. The
Lebanese found themselves
helpless."
In the Times article, Miss
Raad spoke of the long-term
effects of the PLO occupa-
tion.
" Tor a long time I did
not want to become at-
tached to anyone or any-
thing, because you know
you can lose it, and that
Jewish Journalist
Cited in Berlin
BONN (JTA) — A Jewish
journalist has been awarded
the 1982 Moses Men-
delssohn Prize of the West
Berlin Senate.
Eva Reichmann, 84, who
now lives in London, was
the editor-in-chief of Ber-
lin's pre-war newspaper
"Der Morgen." In her book,
"Die Flucht in den Hass"
(Escape into Hatred, 1946),
Ms. Reichmann investi-
gated the causes of
nationalist anti-Semitism.
The Moses Mendelssohn
Prize, which carries a
stipend of DM 20,000
($8,000), is awarded for
"promoting tolerance
toward those who think
differently and between
peoples, races and reli-
gions."
Anacletus II was called
the "Jewish Pope" in the
12th Century because he
was descended from Jews.
will affect you very much.
Before the PLO,' she con-
tinued, 'we used to be
pro-Palestinian. They
were driven out of Pales-
tine, they were mas
sacred. On a humanita-
rian level, we supported
them. It's very easy to
have compassion for this
people. You see them and
you pity them. Before '75
we had this opinion. They
were poor, we should
help them.
`In '76 they stopped a bus
and said that those who
were Christians, come
down. My cousin stepped
down, and was killed. When
we saw the Palestinians
were killing us and
threatening us and having
barricades and shooting in'
nocent people, then came_
the hatred.' "
