MARGARET THATCHER
she is impracably opposed.
This will also be an election
year in Britain and Mrs.
Thatcher's grass roots sup-
porters share her aversion
to terrorism.
She may also not wish to
offend the 400,000-strong
Jewish community which,
in recent years, has tended
to move to the conservative
camp from its traditional
labor allegiance. She her-
self has a large Jewish vote
in her North London consti-
tuency.
In editorials, the London
Times, the Financial Times
and the. Manchester Guard-
ian criticized Thatcher's
stance.
But her refusal to meet
a PLO representative
won warm praise from
the Anglo-Jewish com-
munity's representative
body. Arye Handler,
chairman of the Board of
Deputies of British Jews,
urged. the prime minister
to remain firm in her re-,
solve "and resist odious
Arab threats."
Handler took issue with
Denis Healy, foreign affairs
spokesman of the opposition
Labor Party, who had ear-
lier criticized Mrs.
Thatcher. Healy's criticism,
Handler said, would not win
the Labor Party any support
from those, inside and out-.
side the Jewish community,
who wished to see a "bal-
anced" British position on
the Middle East.
The Foreign Office,
meanwhile, is trying to
lower tensions by suggest-
ing that Pym's Saudi visit
has not been cancelled but
merely postponed. The
question of the Arab League
mission to London is still
the subject of confidential
talks between Britain and
its leader, Morocco's King
Hassan, the Foreign Office
says.
But this may not prevent
the anti-British mood from
spreading to other parts of
the Arab world. Qatar has.
reportedly asked to be
excluded from Pym's itiner-
ary and Algeria has cancel-
led a trip to London by trade
officials.
The strength of Saudi
feeling was evident in an
emotional letter to- the
Times by Prince Bandar
Ben Abdullah, the Saudi
Asgistant Deputy Minis-
ter of the Interior, advis-
ing fellow Arabs "to emu-
late the Saudi way,
namely, hit the Wester-
ners ,where it hurts in
their pockets, for they
have no hearts."
Among the . epithets
which the prince levelled at
Britain were that it was
"foolhardy 'in humiliating
the Arabs" and that "the
average full-blooded Arab"
was "nauseated' by British
hypocrisy." He called Brit-
ain merely "an appen-
dange" of the United States
and "almost irrelevant" in
the Middle. East.
"The Arabs," he added,
"are at a loss to explain the
blind, pigheaded and de-
structive support that the
Zionists receive from the
Europeans and. Americans
except on the basis of race
prejudice."
