`Progressive List for Peace'
party stirs election controversy
Jerusalem (JTA) — Con-
troversy has developed over
the "Progressive List for
Peace," a newly formed fac-
tion of Israeli Arabs and
Jews which seeks to partici-
pate in the July 23 Knesset
elections.
Security sources have
branded it subversive and
Premier Yitzhak Shamir
has outlawed it in his
capacity as acting Defense
Minister.
Defense Minister Moshe
Arens, presently in the
United States, was notified
of the action last Friday. It
was reported that he will
meet with representatives
of the new group on his re-
turn later this week and
will decide then whether or
not to outlaw it.
Under the law, only the
Defense Minister may out-
law a political group on
grounds that it posed a se-
curity threat to the state.
Security sources have
charged that the faction
constitutes an attempt to
introduce supporters of the
Palestine Liberation
Organization into the
Knesset.
They noted that its plat-
form refers to a future inde-
pendent Palestinian state
without defining its bor-
ders. It recognizes the exist-
ence of the State of Israel,
but only within the borders
of June 4, 1967, before the
Six-Day War.
The participation of Jews
in the election list is an at-
tempt to camouflage the
real purpose of the new fac-
tion, according to Moshe
Kochanovsky, legal adviser
to the Defense Ministry.
The main Jewish compo-
nent is "alternative," a
splinter faction of the leftist
Sheli party headed by Gen.
(res) Matityahu• Peled.
Peled has the No. 2 spot on
the list.
The top spot is occupied
by an Arab attorney,
Mohammad Miari. Miari
was, in the 1950s, a member
of the outlawed Arab group
Al-Ard. The Supreme Court
ruled at that time that
Al-Ard "totally negated the
existence of the State of Is-
rael, particularly in its pre-
sent borders."
Although the "Progress-
ive List for Peace" clearly
differs from Al-Ard insofar
as it recognizes the Israeli
state, that, Kochanovsky
charges, is only "a tactical
move" intended to meet the
criteria of the Central Elec-
tions Committee.
Miari retorted that the
platform reflects the honest
opinions of all of the partici-
pants. He admitted, how-
ever, that various opinions
had been expressed before
the platform was adopted.
The spokesmen of several
other. parties .have, con,
demned moves to outlaw the
list. 'Notable among them
was Interior Minister Yosef
Burg of the National Reli-
gious Party who is opposed
to government intervention
in the electoral process..
Meanwhile, demands
have been made to outlaw
Rabbi Meir Kahane's radi-
cal right-wing Kach party
which occupies the other ex-
treme of the political spec-
trum.
In a related development,
former Defense Minister
Ariel Sharon has been put
in charge of special projects
for the Likud election cam-
paign.
The announcement came
only a day after a group of
parents whose sons were
killed in the Lebanon war,
demanded that Sharon re-
move himself from the
Likud election list.
The Bereaved Parents
Association is asking for a
special inquiry into two in-
cidents in the Lebanese
war. They contend that
Sharon was directly respon-
sible for orders which led to
the deaths of 40 soldiers.
Meanwhile, the National
Religious Party presented
its list for the July 23 elec-
tions to the Central Elec-
-tions Committee just before
the deadline, averting a
crisis that threatened to
split the party's already di-
minished Knesset faction.
The list represented a
last-minute compromise be-
tween Burg who heads the
NRP's Knesset representa-
tion which was reduced by
half in the 1981 elections,
suffers further losses in the
July voting.
The religious party was
threatened by a split earlier
when Hammer and former
Deputy Foreign Minister
Yehuda Ben-Meir an-
nounced they were quitting
the NRP to form a new fac-
tion, "Gesher," which would
stand for election on its own.
The two men had the ap-
proval of the Knesset House
Committee and would have
qualified for election cam-
paign subsidies from the
government.
Israel's other religious
party, the Aguda Israel,
also reached a last minute
agreement on its election
list after weeks of wrangl-
ing. Veteran Avraham
Shapiro will head the
Aguda list, followed by
Menachem Porush, Shimon
Siroka and Shmuel Helpert.
Another veteran, Shlomo
Lorincz, who has been on
Aguda MK for 33 years, an-
nounced he would retire.
New president of Germany
is an old friend of Israel
Bonn (JTA) — Baron
Richard Von Weizsaecker,
who will be sworn in on July
1 as the sixth president of
the West German Federal
Republic, is widely known
as a politician friendly to Is-
rael who has always demon-
strated deep sympathy
toward the Jewish people.
Weizsaecker, a member of
the ruling Christian Demo-
cratic Union (CDU), was
overwhelmingly elected by
parliament to succeed
President Karl Carstens
who has completed his
five-year term in what is
largely a ceremonial office.
Karstens and his pre-
deCessor, President Walter
Schneel, had both been
members of the Nazi Party
during. the tenure of the
Third Reich. While both
professed sympathy and sol-
idarity with Jews, there was
always a lingering suspi-
cion that they were seeking
to enhance their personal
reputations. Weizsaecker, a
Wehrmacht officer during
World War II, was one of the
few survivors of the group of
senior officers who at-
tempted to assassinate Hit-
ler in 1944.
Although his father, the
late Baron Ernst Weiz-
. saecker, was a Nazi and
•
served a two-year prison
term after the war for his
part in deporting Jews, the
president-elect is consid-
ered sincere in his friend-
ship toward the Jewish
people and Israel. A former
mayor of West Berlin, he is
said to view the reunifica-
tion of Jerusalem under Is-
raeli rule as a source of hope
that the two Berlins, the
former capital of Germany,
some day will be reunited.
On a visit to Jerusalem in
1982, when he was still
mayor of West Berlin, Weiz-
saecker pointedly expressed
hope that the division of his
home city will eventually
end.
