sessions in Cairo
leave Israel livid
Jerusalem (JTA) — Israeli offi-
cials expressed outrage and disap-
pointment over the joint communique
issued by Egyptian President Hosni
Mubarak and King Hussein of Jordan
in Cairo and Amman this week,
endorsing the Palestine Liberation
Organization as a full partner in
negotiations to resolve the Arab-
Israeli conflict. They would also re-
quire Israel to relinquish all ter-
ritories it captured in 1967 — includ-
ing the Old City of Jerusalem — in
exchange for peace. Egypt called for an
immediate withdrawal.
The formula was the one pre-
sented by Hussein when he addressed
the Egyptian parliament on Sunday
and officials in Israel were saying pri-
vately that Mubarak's apparent ac-
ceptance of it was tantamount to a re-
pudiation by Egypt of the Camp David
accords.
Israel Deputy Premier Yitzhak
Shamir has taken a consistently
tougher line- than Premier Shimon
Peres toward Jordan and Egypt. But
Shamir noted the mitigating state-
ments made in Cairo by Egyptian
Premier Kemal Hassan Ali to the ef-
fect that Egypt continues to adhere to
the Camp David accords, as it inter-
prets them. The Israeli and Egyptian
interpretations, always at variance,

Bella Abzug:
Nuclear Freeze

The dynamic former
Congresswoman urges
women to get involved in
the international peace
movement.
UN-SILENT NIGHT
The historical importance of
women in the peace movement, the
value of grass-roots organizations, and
President Reagan's interest in taking
nuclear weapons into space were just
three topics included in Bella Abzug's
address to the National Council of
Jewish Women last Thursday at Adat
Shalom Synagogue.
"Women are a major part of the
nuclear freeze movement," stressed
Abzug. We are, I think, a major force
that can bring about peace on this
earth."
Abzug, an attorney and former
congresswoman from New York, spoke
on "Women and Nuclear War." She
has been actively working against the
arms race for over 30 years.
You can't eat a missile, you can't
.clothe yourself with a missile, you
can't house yourself with a missile,
you can't even use a missile — because
the use of a missile is the destruction of
the universe," Abzug stated.
Abzug expressed admiration of

the NCJW's ability to understand the
deep responsibility of women to their
community, state, and nation, as well
as to humanity itself.
She cited a proposal made by the
Synagogue Council of America last
February, calling upon the United
States and Russia to agree to a bilat-
eral, mutually-verifiable, total cessa-
tion of the production and deployment
of nuclear weapons. "I was proud that
we brought into the debate the ques-
tion of our experience."
The unanimous declaration put
the Jewish community on record as
being deeply committed to joining all
. responsible efforts to avoid and avert
the threat of nuclear war," she added.
Abzug feels that the way to stop
the arms race is to just stop, to freeze in
position, to stop testing new nuclear
weapons, to stop producing more nu-
clear weapons, and to stop deploying
new weapons.
Throughout her speech she ex-
plained that it will take hard work by
organizations like the NCJW, but it is
possible to get the government to coop-
erate.
"If we leave these decisions to the
military-industrial complex and their
political spokesmen, the arms race
