Tyranny Of Terrorism
At stake in the latest
hijacking tragedy may be
the military and moral
posture of both the U.S.
and Israel.
BY ARTHUR J. MAGIDA
Special to The Jewish News
The hijacking of TWA Flight
847 and the agonizing by Israel and
the United States over whether to
comply with the terrorists' demands
may be a potent and explosive factor
in changing the current political
equation in the Middle East.
At stake may be the military
and moral posture of America and
its chief Middle Eastern ally, Israel;
the probable ascendency of Syrian-
and Iranian-influenced forces in
Lebanon; the stability of the Israel
government of Prime Minister Shi-
mon Peres; and the course of the
peace process recently outlined by
Jordan's King Hussein.

Eight Israeli youngsters bor-
rowed Marty and Myra Citrin's ten-
nis court last Friday, showing off
their tennis skills and mingling with
70 invited Detroiters.
Despite the traffic problems
associated with the U.S. Open golf
championship a mile away, and a
tiring schedule of similar receptions
throughout the United States during
the month of June, the kids smiled,
translated questions for their non-
English-speaking teammates, and
enjoyed performing on the court.
It marked the tenth year that
an Israel Tennis Centers Association
(ITCA) reception has been held here,
and Detroiters have responded to the
young Israelis with a total nearing

In the byzantine world of Middle
Eastern politics, these factors are so
tightly interlocked - that should one
of them change, the others may fal-
ter.
The hijack drama began last
Friday when armed gunmen boarded
the aircraft in Athens and hijacked
it while it was enroute to Rome. In
the next 48 hours, the plane was
forced to fly twice to Algiers and
three times to Beirut.
Most of the 145 passengers,
mainly women and children, and
some of the flight crew were released
during the repeated landings. One
American passenger, Robert D.
Stathem, a U.S. Navy diver from
Walford, Md., was badly beaten and
later fatally shot by the hijackers.
Seven to 12 passengers with
Jewish-sounding names were re-
moved from the airplane at the Be-
irut Airport on Sunday. Early the
next day, the 30 remaining
passengers and crew were also re-

Detroit's annual affair for
Israel Tennis Centers has
raised $750,000 for young
athletes.

SERVING DETROIT'S METROPOLITAN JEWISH COMMUNITY
$750,000 for the ITCA program.
The eight ITCA centers
throughout Israel have given more
than 60,000 disadvantaged
youngsters an opportunity to learn a
new sport and get off the streets. De-
troit's involvement began in 1975
when Seymour Brode of the
Franklin Racquet Club was asked to
sponsor the first reception and 15-20
Detroiters were invited. Since that
time, the annual exhibition and re-
ception has been hosted by the Bill
Davidsons, Graham Orleys, Daniel
Honigmans, Dr. Sherman Kays, the
Citrins and the Detroit Tennis Club.
"Detroit is a very generous
community," says Brode, "and has
raised more money per capita than
any other community in the coun-
try." Brode serves as vice president
of the Midwest region for ITCA and
serves on the local board with Suzy
Honigman and Max Sheldon. Nor-
bert Zuckerman is a past board
member who remains very active
with the group.
