Veteran Actor Francis Lederer
Voices Strong Feelings on Israel

By HERBERT LUFT

Inc.)
HOLLYWOOD — Fran-
cis Lederer, a veteran actor
who has achieved notoriety
both in Europe and
America, talked about his
strong feelings for Israel, a
country he has visited often
and a country whose fight-
ing spirit he admires. To
him, it is the only state in
the Near and Middle East
which America today can
depend on.
Born in Prague, Lederer
was a stage and screen star
in Vienna, Berlin and Lon-
don. He came to Hollywood
via Broadway in 1934. In
the earlier years, his movie
career was highlighted by
two films — Warner's "Con-
fession of a Nazi Spy,"
(1939) a powerful expose of
foreign links of the Third
Reich; and United Artists'
"Voice in the Wind," (1943)
which symbolized the plight
of European refugees.
There was no taker for the
part until he accepted it be-
cause the German-

cussion perpetually turns to
Israel's "guilt," he pointed
out. Yet, the refugees from 1
Israel are small in numbers
compared to the 100 million
stateless people who c'
roamed through Europe,
Africa and Asia during the
past century and now rein-
forced by the effect of Soviet
expansion and the wars in
southeast Asia, he said.

"HAMSIN,"

Israel's 'n
entry for the Academy
Awards, is a vivid example
that the Jewish state is <
naive when it comes to 1
propaganda in foreign coun-
tries and in providing a vis-
ual illustration of current L'
and future problems.
The film does justice
neither to the Jewish nor
the Arab settlers in a vil-
lage in Galilee by focusing
on their hatreds and
jealousies, rape, and even-
tual killing, instead of deal-
ing with a sense of mutual
understanding of the dif-
ficult problems both Jews
and Arabs face.
With a grant from the Is-
raeli government, "Ham-
sin" is bound to create more
hatred and misunderstand-
ing and trigger anti-
Semitism. Perhaps the vast
and more secure countries
such as the Soviet Union,
United States and England
can afford such a portrayal
of an ugly, hopefully iso-
lated, relationship. But Is-
rael cannot and neither can
world Jewry. This film re-
minds this columnist of the
racially-slanted and Yid-
dish accented shlemiehl
stories to come out of pre-
Hitler Germany which
helped to perpetuate old
prejudices.
"Hamsin" was produced
by Jacob Lifshin and di-
rected by Daniel
Wachsman. The screenplay
was by D. Verte, Lifshin and
Wachsman, with music by
Raviv Gazit. David Garfin-
kel was the cameraman and
Levin Zini was the editor.

Arens Assures Knesset
of No Israel Threat to Syria

American Bund was still
powerful and was in a posi-
tion to threaten reprisals,
according to Lederer. As a
result, all Warner Bros. pic-
tures were banned through-
out Nazi Germany.
Lederer has also had
stage roles in "Watch on the
Rhine" and "The Diary of
Anne Frank."
Throughout the decades,
Lederer, keenly interested
in the future of Israel, has
spoken at universities and
colleges throughout the
United States in an effort to
kindle a militant spirit
within the Jewish people.
To combat Arab prop-
aganda abroad and anti-
Semitism at home, Lederer
feels that Jews should know
more about their heritage
and history, particularly
the history of the events
leading up to the establish-
ment of the State of Israel
and the years since then.
He mused about the fact
that Jews throughout the
ages stood up for their moral
principles but that Jews
today suffer from a
paralysis induced by a feel-
ing of guilt. A case in point,
he noted, was the massacre
in the Beirut refugee camps.
The bulk of U.S. Jewry, Le-
derer observed, accepted the
responsibility of the Israelis
even before the facts were
known. Instead of advocat-
ing an investigation by the
Israelis, Lederer believes it
would have been more
appropriate to hear the re-
sults of a Lebanese inquiry,
not only into the massacre
but also into the back-
ground of the assassination
of Lebanon's President-
elect Bashir Gemayel. What
happened in both cases re-
mains so far a well-kept
secret, he observed.
Lederer is convinced that
the refugee problem is used
as a pawn in the political
games played by the Arab
leaders. Whenever the ref-
ugee problem comes up in
the United Nations, the dis-

JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Defense Minister Moshe
Arens assured Knesset
members Tuesday that Is-
rael had no intention of at-
tacking Syria, though he
warned that if Syria esca-
lated the situation in the
north, for whatever reasons,
"The scope of the reaction
would be dictated by Israel."
Arens spoke at a closed
session of the Knesset's
Foreign Affairs and Secu-
rity Committee, a body he
had chaired before he was
named Ambassador to the
U.S. last year. He was re-
sponding to Labor MK Mor-
dehai Gur, a former Chief of
Staff, who urged the gov-
ernment not to maintain an
aggressive policy and ref-
rain from any military in-
itiative against Syria.
Arens called on Syria's
leaders to confer with Is-
raeli leaders over peace
talks between the two coun-

tries. He also called on King
Hussein of Jordan to join
the peace process with Is-
rael but rejected a freeze on
Jewish settlement activity
in the occupied territories
as a condition for Jordan's
participation.
Speaking of Israel's rela-
tions with the U.S., Arens
maintained that the two
countries agreed on the
strategic level but their
views differed on the tacti-
cal level. He noted that
mutual concessions were
necessary between allies
and said Israel abandoned
its demand for a peace
treaty with Lebanon at this
time at the urging of the
U.S. He added, however,
that Israel would make no
concessions "on matters of
life or death."
