THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Arab Propaganda Effort Reported Flourishing in France LONDON (JTA) — A comprehensive study which finds that a concerted Arab propaganda effort in France has been backed by both leftwing and rightwing elements and which warns that "Arab propagandists will intensify their methods," has been released by the. Con- • • . Jewish. •- • • gress. . • The commissioned study, issued by the WJC research and publications unit, the Institute of Jewish Affairs, shows that France's Middle ast policies and its posit- n within the European community were key factors in its emergence as "ideal territory for the propaganda of the Arab states involved in the Middle East conflict." Among official Arab bodies, the PLO office in Paris is cited as the most important source of anti- Israel opinion. The PLO office, the re- port notes, has concen- trated on building up its press contacts to the point that "whenever events in the Middle East attract the attention of journalists, the PLO office is one of the places to which they go, for in- formation and news." Apart from the specifi- cally Arab organizations, run by Arabs, the Associa- tions of French Arab Sol- idarity spread the Arab cause through French sym- pathizers. They publish numerous magazines, pro- vide material aid for the Palestinians, and organize demonstrations with the aim of becoming centers of media attention. The study shows that some of the organizers of Arab propaganda groups COMPLETE ALTERATIONS HERBERT Cleaners & Tailors Expert Cleaning Lowest Prices Also Suede, Leather & Drapes 24109 Coolidge at 10 Mile Across from Dexter Davison • 399-0336 MY APPRECIATION TO ALL OF YOU for your concern for my well being during my recent illness.

The United States and Is- rael voted against the reso- lution. Twenty countries, mostly Western democ- racies, abstained. The resolution called for "the free exercise in Pales- tine of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people to self-determination without external interfer- ence and to national inde- pendence." The resolution also called indirectly for sanc- tions against Israel by urging the Security Council to take "practi- cal" measures against Is- rael if it failed to with- draw from occupied ter- ritories and from Leba- non. The assembly t. lso de- cided, in another resolution, to convene an international conference in Paris next August on the Palestinian question: The vote on this resolution was 123 in favor, with the United States and Israel again casting the only negative votes. Eigh- teen countries abstained. Noting that the Paris con- ference would cost the UN $5.7 million, Yehuda Blum, Israel's Ambassador to the UN, said it was a scandal- ous waste of money that could be used to feed hungry mouths instead of "playing up to the vanities of the PLO henchmen." The assembly also voted to observe June 4 as "Inno- cent Children Victims" day. The vote was 102-2, with the U.S. and Israel opposed, and 34 abstentions. The June 4 date is to mark the day Israel prepared to enter Lebanon. The actual incur- sion was June 6. Initially, the Arabs wanted to place a plaque at the UN that would have been dedicated to the "inno- cent Palestinian and Lebanese children, victims of Israeli aggression." The plan was dropped at the urg- ing of UN officials who argued that this would be regarded as an affront by Americans in general and New Yorkers in particular.

The Committee for Peace in the Middle East, for example, "which is widely believed to be financed by Iraq" is headed by two individuals associated with the extreme right, including one, Gilles Munier, who was "an active neo-Nazi." On the left, two important anti-Israel- political forces are "Temoignage Chretien" (Christian Witness) and the French Communist Party. The study says the fu- ture aims of Temoignage Chretien are two-fold: "As a Christian move- ment, it will try to break the silence, observed till now by the clergy on the Middle East question, Friday, August 27, 1982 17 ALL OUR FINE FURS REDUCED BEIT SHEAN (JNI) — Some 100 Beit Shean • families with six or more • children recently received , at AUDETTE CADILLAC • • 7100 Orchard Lake• • • Rd. • • • at Northwestern, • • West Bloomfield • / • • (313) 851-7200 • • • • PERSONALIZED SERVICE • • • • GUARANTEED • • • • • • • • • • • • • home libraries from Zehavi (the movement for the rights of large families).
