The use of stamps by Arab nations for anti-Israel prop- aganda is almost as old as the Jewish state, itself. Since the overthrow of the Shah of Iran, the rulers of that country have also utilized postage stamps to spread enmity for the Jewish state. As justification for this continuing effort, spokes- men for Arab countries sidestep the question of vio- lating the intent of interna- tional postal agreements and openly admit their mo- tives.

The promotion of Palesti- nian terrorism culminated in January 1981, when the United Nations issued a stamp endorsing the code phrase used by the Pales- tine Liberation Organiza- tion for the destruction of Israel: "Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People." The stamps were issued de- spite worldwide protests. When a supposedly im- partial global organization like the UN can shunt aside international agreements for political expediency, there is small hope that the misuse of philately to spread enmity can be re- versed. Still, individual members of the international com- munity of nations can take the first constructive step by means of legal sanctions to enable postal authorities to refuse to handle mail bearing propagandistic and inciteful postage stamps. Senator looks for roots Indianapolis — United States Sen. Barry Goldwa- ter (R-Ariz.) is searching for his roots, the Jewish Post and Opinion reported. The long-time Senator has enlisted the aid of the Arizona Historical Founda- tion in uncovering informa- tion on the Goldwater fam- ily. Sen. Goldwater's grand- father, Michel, and his great-uncle, Joe, came to the U.S. from Poland in 1852. The family originally settled in Sonora, Calif. be- fore moving to the Arizona territory in the 1860s. (
