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." 1■ 11 40 .
