WOODWARD, 1 1/2 biks. S. of 14 MILE 549-2323 Royal Oak 72immw) 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, Miss Raad and others corn- We Welcome Adult Groups—Youth Organizations—Etc.

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.' " ANNOUNCING NEW MENU! NEW LOW PRICES!
