Moral Majority Leader Predicts Reagan
Will Soften Call for Israel Settlement Freeze

JERUSALEM (JTA) —.-
Jerry Falwell, leader of the
Moral Majority, predicted
that the Reagan Administ-
ration would "moderate" its
call for a freeze of Israeli
settlements on the West
Bank and its support of
Palestinian self-rule in the
territory, linked to _Jordan.
Those are key elements of
the peace plan announced
by President Reagan on
Sept. 1, 1982. The Adminis-
tration has stated re-
peatedly since then that it
stands by the plan which
was totally rejected by Is-
rael at the time and failed to
induce either Palestinians
or Joradn to enter negotia-
tions with Israel.
Falwell, a strong sUppor-
ter of Reagan, told a press
conference here that while
he is "the best President in
my lifetime," he disagreed
with his formula for a peace-
ful settlement of the Pales-
tinian problem.

"There is no way that
Israel can surrender so
much of its real estate
(the West Bank and Gaza)
to hostile forces and hope
to remain free Anyone
intimately familiar (with
Middle Eastern affairs)
cannot agree with that,"
Falwell declared.

The Moral Majority, a co-
alition of right-wing
evangelical Christians in
the U.S., is holding a con-
vention here. The 630 dele-
gates were addressed by De-
fense Minister Moshe Arens
who stated flatly that Israel

would make no concessions
whatever on the West Bank.
He said the U.S. should
back Israel's position on the
territories. "If the U.S.
wants Israel to be strong ---
and I know that it does — it
must understand that Israel
cannot be strong if these
areas (West Bank and Gaza)
are cut off from the territory
controlled by the state of Is-
rael," Arens said.
He, said that those who
contend that Israeli conces-
sions would relieve it of
some of the burdens of de-
fense "simply do not know
whom we are dealing with
here in the Mideast" where
"hostility is endemic to the
area."

Arens, who will ac-
company Premier Yit-
zhak Shamir to
Washington for a meeting
with President Reagan
Tuesday, said "We are
going hopeful that a new

He said however that Is-
rael was disappointed over
what he called American
"even-handedness between
democracy and dictator-
ship." Referring to the
truck-bomb attack on U.S.
Marine headquarters at
Beirut airport Oct. 23 which
killed more than 230
American servicemen,
Arens said 'It took a mas-
sive loss of life" for Ameri-
can leaders to "finally
realize whom we are deal-
ing with."
Elaborating on that
theme, Arens noted that in
the past, the U.S. kept its
cooperation with Israel at a
relatively low key in order
to pursue an even-handed
policy in the region.
It was "heart-rending
that the recent outrages"
were necessary to bring
home the true nature of the
West's adversaries in the
Middle East, he said.

Shiite Moslems in Leba-
non believed responsible
for the earlier attacks on
the • Americans and
French in Beirut and Is-
raeli headquarters in
Tyre.

.

Falwell praised Israel for
having "liberated Lebanon"
and contended that if it
were not for Israel, the
Soviet Union would now
own the oil fields of the
Middle East. He also
claimed that "four thousand
years of history" supports
Israel's claim to all of the
Holy Land.

He accused the world
of "double standard" re-
garding Israel's presence
in Lebanon. "When we
were near Beirut we were
maligned (by the interna-
tional community), and

Barbie Trial
Delay Seen

PARIS — Klaus Barbie,
the former Gestapo chief for
the city of Lyons, may not go
on trial until 1985, Justice
Minister Robert Badinter
said last week. Badinter
cited evasion tactics by
Barbie's attorney as the
reason for the delay.
Barbie, known as the
Butcher of Lyons, was ex-
tradited to France from
Bolivia earlier this year. He
is accused of the murder of
thousands of French Jews
and Resistance fighters.
Man is already in eter-
nity.

Herzog said that Israel's
other crisis is "the economic
crisis" due to the fact that
Israel is exporting less than
it is importing. He said that
currently Israel's exports
amounts to $11 billion a
year while its imports stand
at $16 billion. He expressed
the belief that Israel will
overcome its economic dif-
ficulties although, he said it
might be a "long and painful
process."
Earlier in the day, Herzog
spoke to hundreds of Jewish
students at Yeshiva Uni-
versity in Manhattan. He
called on American Jewish
youth to come and settle in
Israel.

Herzog Tribute in NY

NEW YORK (JTA) —
More than 750 American
Jewish leaders paid tribute
to Israel and its President
Chaim Herzog during a
luncheon at the Hilton
Hotel here.
The event was jointly
sponsored by the United
Jewish Appeal, State of Is-
rael Bonds and the UJA-
Federation of Greater New
York.
Herzog, who is in the
midst of his 10-day official
visit to the United States,
emphasized in his address
the strong ties between
American Jewry and Israel
and the major role of the or-
ganized Jewish community
in all aspects of life in Israel
— economic, social and cul-
tural.
The Israeli president
pointed out that Israel is
going through crises on dif-
ferent fronts. On the milit-
ary front, he noted, Israel is
still struggling with the
Lebanon crisis. He said that
while there have been dif-
ferences in Israel on the
Lebanon policy of the gov-
ernment, there was almost
no disagreement on the
need to take steps to secure
Israel's population in the
north.
