Amsterdam (JTA) — Jan
Keet, the Roman Catholic
Dean of Amsterdam, takes a
dim view of future relations
between the Vatican and
the Jewish people, despite
the decisions of Vatican
Council II, and does not be-
lieve the Holy See will rec-
ognize Israel.
Keet, who is chairman of
the Council for the Church
and Israel, an Episcopal
advisory board, expressed
his views in an interview
just published in the Roman
Catholic weekly De Tijd. He
cited two reasons why he
does not believe the Vatican
will change its traditional
attitudes toward Jews and
Israel.
First, he said, Vatican
circles still adhere to the
so-called substitution
theology which holds that
with the coming of Jesus,
the Jewish people ceased to
exist and the Roman
Catholic Church took over
the role of Judaism as the
purveyor of salvation to the
world.
Second, he said, the per-
sistent refusal of the Vati-
can to recognize Israel
stems from a desire not to
offend the Moslem world.
The Christian church has
always hoped to hold a
dialogue with Islam and re-
gards the churches in Leba-
non and the Christian
Palestinians on the West
Bank to be a bridge to such
dialogue which has eluded
‘
kt
the church so far, Keet said.
Keet admired that the
Roman Catholic bishops in
Holland have been aloof to
the Council for Church and
Israeli jets
hit Lebanon
terror base
Tel Aviv (JTA) — Israel
Air Force jets bombed a
Palestinian terrorist base in
Lebanon last weekend. A
military spokesman said
the target was a building in
Bhamdoun on the Beirut-
Damascus highway which
served as a base for the
Democratic Front for the
Liberation of Palestine
(DFLP).
The DFLP, headquar-
tered in Damascus, claimed
responsibility for the April
2 terrorist attack in
downtown Jerusalem which
wounded 48 persons.
According to reports from
Beirut newsmen, who said
they were taken to view the
target after the bombing,
the building, a former hotel,
no longer housed the DFLP.
The newsmen said they
were told that it was used as
a weapons store by a pro-
Syrian Lebanese militia.
The militiamen claimed
that only the two top floors
of the building were de-
stroyed by the Israeli bom-
bers while their weapons
and ammunition remained
intact in the basement.
Israel. He said it was only
with great difficulty and the
efforts of former Ar-
chbishop, now Cardinal
Johannes Willebrands, that
a part time secretary was
appointed three years ago.
Now, however, Keet fears
that with the new conserva-
tive Archbishop, Adrian
Simonis, and several other
conservative bishops re-
cently appointed to The
Netherlands by the Vati-
can, the situation will not
improve. Nevertheless,
there has been definite pro-
gress and understanding of
Judaism "at the base," he
said.

Black market
in currency
Tel Aviv (ZINS) —
Foreign currency restric-
tions in Israel have revived
the black market on Tel Av-
iv's Lilienblum Street.
Foreign bank notes are
selling for a 15 percent pre-
mium on the black market,
with Israelis preferring
West German and Swiss
currency to the American
dollar.
Experts say Israelis fear
that the dollar will fall in
value under pressure from
American manufacturers
who are having problems
exporting U.S. products be-
cause of the dollar's
strength.
