Bush stresses security needs
at JWV convention, dedication
Washington (JTA) — Vice
President George Bush and Vir-
ginia Governor Charles Robb both
told Jewish war veterans last
week that in order to maintain the
principles of American democracy
the United States must remain
strong.
The Republican Vice President,
and Robb, a Democrat, partici-
pated in the dedication of the new
headquarters of the Jewish War
Veterans and its Ladies Auxil-
iary, which opened the JWV's
89th annual convention. Bush af-
fixed a mezuzah to the front door
of the building which also houses
the JWV's national memorial and
library.
"No group could understand
better than the Jewish War Vete-
rans that the struggle against-
Semitism and the defense of free-
dom are allied causes and must be
pursued with equal vigor," Bush
said.
Noting that the Reagan Ad-
ministration wants to keep the
nation at peace, "for the remain-
der of this century and beyond,"
Bush said, "As long as this Ad-
ministration remains in office, we
will maintain a strong defense —
a defense that is ready and pre-
pared and strong enough to deter
war."
Robb said that "the Jewish War
Veterans have understood that
our freedom and security are nur-
tured only when America's demo-
cratic institutions are maintained
through strength." He said, "We
cannot honor those in whose
memory this building is dedicated
today if we fail to recognize our
own responsibility to assure that
our military forces . . . are equal to
threats we will face tomorrow."
While both Bush and Robb
stressed the strong alliance be-
tween Israel and the United
States, Robb declared before the
1,500 delegates at the JWV con-
vention that he supported a reso-
lution urging that the United
States move its embassy in Israel
from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Cal-
ling Jerusalem "the heart and
soul of the Jewish people," Robb
said: "Jerusalem is not negoti-
able."
Bush did not mention
Jerusalem. But earlier, State De-
partment spokesman John
Hughes said that both President
Reagan and Secretary of State
George Shultz continued to be op-
posed to the Congressional bill
seeking to force the embassy
move.
Bush reiterated the Adminis-
tration's opposition to anti-
Semitism. "We will not remain si-
lent in the face of anti-Semitism,"
he said. "For us there is never any
justification, or any excuse for ra-
cial and religious bigotry; and we
will continue to condemn it loudly
and forcefully whenever and
wherever it raises its ugly head."
Lt. Col. Jack Jacobs, a recipient
of the Congressional Medal of
Honor, said the-new JWV head-
quarters is a symbol of the
"Jewish record of patriotism to
our United States."
Lebanese troops to fill security
role vacated by Israeli army
Tel Aviv (JTA) — Israel is sys-
tematically transferring respon-
sibility. for security in south
Lebanon to the South Lebanon
Army (SLA), a force of some 2,000
soldiers, mostly Christians, com-
manded by Gen. Antoine Lehad.
Tuesday, the Israel Defense
Force handed over security duties
to the SLA in Nabatiya, the third
largest town in south Lebanon. Its
22,000 inhabitants are mostly
Shiite Moslems, many of them an-
tagonistic to Israel and to Maro-
nite Christians. Israeli sources
expressed hope that the move will
ease friction in the town.
The IDF has already trans-
ferred security responsibility to
the SLA in the port city of Sidon
and the Awali River district just
to its north; in the strip of terri-
tory along the Israel-Lebanon
border formerly controlled by the
militia of the late Col. Saad Had-
dad; and in a stretch of territory
north of the Israeli border town of
Metullah.
Despite its lowered profile in
south Lebanon, the IDF would re-
quire 4-6 months to dismantle and
repatriate its equipment from the
region in the event of a political
decision to withdraw according to
Brig. Gen. Yehoshua Cohen,
commander of the IDF engineer-
ing corps.
Cohen told Israel Radio this
week that the army is spending
six billion shekels (about $17 mil-
lion) to fortify the eastern front in
Lebanon where the IDF faces Sy-
rian forces, and to prepare for
winter. The work includes the
construction of approach roads,
new fences, anti-tank ditches and
measures to prevent terrorist in-
filtration. Cohen said that in the
past six months the army
engineers dealt with scores of
booby traps, roadside bombs,
Katyusha rocket launchers and
car bombs.
Meanwhile, an IDF soldier was
slightly wounded in south Leba-
non Saturday while he was dis-
mantling an explosive device
found near the Christian mis-
sionary "Voice of Hope" television
and radio station.
The station is located in
Lebanese territory about half a
mile north of the border near
Metullah. It was the second time
guerrillas have placed bombs
near the TV and radio station,
which is under criticism from both
Moslems in Lebanon and from Or-
thodox Jews in Israel, who corn-
plain it is broadcasting mission-
ary propaganda.
Three Israel Defense Force
soldiers were wounded in south
Lebanon last week when a road-
side explosive was set off as their
convoy passed by two miles
southwest of Marjayoun. The
wounded men were taken to a
hospital in Israel.
