THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS 1: = LETTERS FRUIT & GIFT BASKETS The Jewish News is to be Il applauded for its efforts to abort i '-' the use by the Free Press of the phrase, "Palestinian East : Jerusalem" (April 12). To have it go unchallenged would have been tantamount to accepting it as a valid label for part of the capital of Israel. But why stop there? Too many --, Jews and self-proclaimed Zionists fail to see that political reality is ;-, framed by the words and titles used. For example, if we call the territories the "West Bank" in- stead of Judea-Samaria, then we perpetuate the image of Arab -, ownership, i.e. the "West Bank of 1 the Hashemite Kingdom of Jor- dan." Actually, since 1967, there is a new political reality of Jewish liberation which the Arabs and others cannot accept, that is the re-emergence of a Jewish Judea- Samaria. So it is if we talk of "Palesti- "3 nians." Obviously there are Arabs who self-identity as such. But if we Jews and Zionists accept their terminology and identification, we promote the mythical Arab image of a "dispossessed people" striving to regain "their lost homeland" (i.e. Israel) from the ' "occupiers" (i.e. Jews). That myth certainly should not be promoted by those who proclaim their Zionism. And so it goes. There is no "east" Jerusalem since it is our united capital. There are no "occupied territories" other than the Jewish land the Arabs still possess. The cities of Hebron and Sh'chem are Jewish cities with Arab populations. And the term "Palestine" is the slave name im- posed on Eretz Yisrael by Roman and Arab invaders. It is about time, long overdue, that we Jews stopped using Arab terminology which makes us thieves. We have stolen nothing. It all belongs to us. Committee for the Jewish Idea Holocaust Wounds Although 40 years have passed, now is not the time to heal old wounds or seek reconciliation with the systematic annihilation of the Jewish people perpetrated by the Nazis. President Reagan may be cor- rect in asserting that there are few in Germany today who can recall the tragedy of the Holocaust. But Mr. Rejigan cer- tainly is of the generation in which the memories should be most deeply etched. And there are countless many in my own com- munity who bear the scars of the Nazi camps. If the passage of time has made it possible for us to equate the murderers with the victims then it is high time that the events of the Holocaust be rediscovered and that old wounds be opened. For we cannot forget that these events occurred in our lifetimes and could easily recur in our chil- dren's lifetimes.
