WHERE NICE THINGS HAPPEN"

Invitation to PLO representative
creates Canada Parliament uproar

Ottawa (JTA) — Zhedi
Terzi, the Palestine Libera-
tion Organization represen-
tative at the United Na-
tions, may have done the
cause of the PLO more harm
than good by his appearance
before the Canadian Parli-
ament's Senate Foreign Af-
fairs Committee last
Thursday.
The feelings of many
members of Parliament
were summed up by one
senator who had opposed
Terzi's visit. He said that
Terzi was so rigid, so un-
giving, that he discouraged
even his few supporters
among the members of the
(Foreign Affairs) Commit-
tee."
Another Member of Par-
liament, Sinclair Stevens of
the opposition Conservative
Party, a critic of the gov-
ernment's foreign policy,
denounced the administra-
tion of Prime Minister
Pierre Elliott Trudeau for
inviting Terzi to testify be-
fore the committee, which
was reviewing Canada's
policy in the Middle East.
Sinclair asked, "Why did
you let it happen? Why did
you permit this PLO repre-
sentative to appear before
the Senate?"
Liberal Party MPs from
Toronto and Montreal, re-
presenting constituencies
with large numbers of
Jewish voters, expressed
dissatisfaction over the in-
vitation to Trudeau during
a party caucus.
Rev. Rolande De Cor-
neille, a Liberal MP from
Toronto, told the Canadian
Broadcasting Corp. that he
was "completely dissatis-
fied with the invitation to
Terzi. I cannot understand
why Prime Minister
Trudeau did not issue a
statement on this matter.
After all, the PLO is known
as a terrorist organization
that pursues its policies
with bombs," he said.
Another Toronto Liberal,
James Peterson, said the
PLO would see the invita-
tion to Terzi as a "major leap
forward to legitimacy with-
out them making any con-
cessions."
Ontario Premier William
Davis, who ordinarily does
not intrude in non-
provincial matters, sent a
strongly worded protest to
Trudeau. He expressed
"genuine concern" that the
PLO official had been in-
vited. "I would suggest that
this scheduled appearance
is inappropriate, given PLO
involvement in terrorist at-
tacks and other violent ac-
tivities," Davis stated.
"I regret the fact that, as
Prime Minister, you have
chosen not to exert your un-
doubted influence to con-
vince members of the senate
committee to reconsider
this ill-advised appear-
ance." He said he hoped that
this incident would not es-
tablish a precedent for fu-
ture invitations being ex-
tended to the PLO.

Mulroney,
president of the opposition

Roggen of the Canadian Parliament before testifying last
week.

Conservative Party who
seeks to become prime
minister in this summer's
elections, blamed the Lib-
eral Party for the invita-
tion. "I would have hoped
the Liberal Party would
have shown more sensitiv-
ity than it did," Mulroney
said.
He pointed out that the
PLO has met none of the
conditions that are pre-
requisites to recognition by
Canada. He noted that
those conditions were the
renunciation of terrorism,
recognition of the State of
Israel and willingness to
seek a political solution of
the Middle East conflict.
Liberal MPs Jim Peter-
son and the Rev. Rolande De
Corneille also protested the

invitation, but Liberal MP
Ian Watson said Terzi's ap-
pearance was a step forward
in the level of consciousness
about the eventual role of
the PLO in a Mideast set-
tlement.
Jean-Luc Pepin, Secre-
tary of State for External
Affairs, answering for the
government in the absence
of Foreign Affairs Minister
Allan McEachen who is on
tour of Central America,
said that Terzi was invited
"just because we wanted to
hear the viewpoints of both
parties."
Terzi, who is officially the
PLO's observer at the
United Nations, was the
final witness in the two-
year review of Canada's pol-
icy in the Mideast which

focusses primarily on the
Arab-Israeli conflict. This
was the first time that a
PLO representative was
asked to testify publicly be-
fore a legislative body in
Canada.
Ann Gross, president of
the Canada-Israel Commit-
tee, pointed out that the
Committee had already
heard from Abdallah Abdal-
lah, the official representa-
tive of the Arab League and
of the PLO in Ottawa, in
closed session, and that sev-
eral members of the com-
mittee, on a recent visit to
the Mideast, met with
Khalid Al-Fahum, chair-
man of the Palestine Na-
tional Council.
"Obviously, the invita-
tion extended to Terzi is not
for getting any additional
information but in order to
make a political state-
ment," she said. "Now they
invite a third representa-
tive of the PLO when they
failed to invite representa-
tives of Jordan, Syria, Israel
and Saudi Arabia."
In his testimony, Terzi
repeated official PLO prop-
aganda by asking Canada to
recognize the PLO and
influence Israel to negotiate
with the PLO. When a sena-
tor asked him why the PLO
refuses to recognize the
existence of the State of Is-
rael, Terzi answered that
Israel should recognize the
PLO first.
Terzi was forced to enter
the Parliament through a
back door as , dozens of
Jewish students occupied
the main entrance and
demonstrated in protest
against the invitation ex-
tended to him to testify.

Group urges embassy control
for E. Jerusalem. Consulate

Jerusalem (JTA), — The
American Jewish Congress
continued to urge this week
that the U.S. Consulate in
East Jerusalem be placed
under control of the U.S.
Embassy in Tel Aviv but
denied that it had
"suggested" that the Consu-
late and its staff "are anti-
Israel or pro-PLO."
A statement to that effect
was issued here by Henry
Siegman, executive director
of the AJCongress, whose
leaders have been meeting
in Jerusalem. Siegman took
issue with the sharp re-
sponse by the State De-
partment and by un-named
U.S. officials to accusations
that the Consulate was con-
ducting "its affairs in a way
that are inimical to Israeli
and American interests"
and that its personnel have
"overstepped the bounds of
diplomatic decency" by al-
leged frequent meetings
with Arabs who sympathize
with the Palestine Libera-
tion Organization.
Those charges were con-
tained in an article pub-
lished in the Jerusalem Post
April 1 by David Clayman,
director of the AJCongress

Israel office and Peretz
Levine, a research intern.

The State Department
vigorously denied that the
Consulate in Jerusalem has
been behaving improperly
toward Israel and called the
charges "totally misplaced
and, indeed, irresponsible."
An unidentified American
official warned that such
charges could place the
Consulate and its staff in

danger from attacks by
Jewish extremists.
Siegman
reiterated
charges that the Consulate
acted in a manner that re-
flected pro-Arab bias. But,
his statement said, "Our
comments are directed not
at Consulate staff but at
their activities which have
focused on Palestinians who
are in sympathy with the
PLO and systematically
avoided those who are not.

Israeli offices bombed in NY

New York (JTA) — The
offices of the Israel Aircraft
Industry (IAI) in Manhat-
tan were bombed early last
week, but there were no
casualties. The offices were
closed at the time.
A group calling itself the
"Red Guerrilla Resistance"
claimed responsibility.
Police began an immediate
investigation.
According to a police de-
partment spokesman, an
unidentified male called the
building at about 1 a.m. and
told the security guard that
the group "has planted a
bomb in the building." The
bomb went off 40 minutes

later. The spokesman said
the bombing caused "con-
siderable damage" to the
building.
A source at the Israel De-
fense Mission to the United
States headquartered in
New York said that the
bombing caused only
"minor damage" to the
building.

Soldier hurt

Tel Aviv (JTA) — A bor-
der policeman was slightly
wounded in Lebanon when
a grenade was thrown at his
patrol in the center of Sidon,
the army spokesman said.
