A filmmaker from the Philippines spoke only of the tragic situation in his country, while a Polish dissident re- counted the moral misery that the Polish people endure under the regime of Jaruzelsld. A Chilean spoke of Chile, and Argentinian of Argentina, a feminist protested against anti-feminist discrimination; a Palestinian accused Israel and the Jewish people of the pres- ent massacre in Lebanon. It is painful because we have the right to expect from these organizations a more universal outlook. While fight- ing for Russian Jews, I am determined to take the side of all the dissidents in the Soviet Union. Sakharov is my hero as much as Anatol Shcharansky; Slepak is my brother and Walesa my companion. In our days, we no longer have the right to separate victims, favoring some at the expense of others. All need us —for all •we must show our solidarity, The Boat People like the Afghans, the starving Ethic,- plans like the frightened Mashes, the political pri- soners in Siberia like the un- fortunate Lebanese whose agony never ceases, the refugees from Latin-American countries like the Palestinians whom everyone, from West to East, manipulates and exploits. It is in this sense that I tried to make my voice heard at the Paris symposium. I am against violence and hatred wherever they may originate, but I am for the victims wherever they are found, I believe in Israel, I pray for an end to the suffering of the Palestinians, but I am against the terrorism of the PLO. Ad- dressing myself to the Palesti- nian woman seated near me, I publicly told her my hope: that one day our two peoples will live in peace; one day the Jewish people will live in peace with all peoples, including the German people. Alone, former prisoners have the courage to denounce prison everywhere; alone, political refugees feel the need to combat injustice in all its forms. Alone, those who have experienced the horrors of war know to what extent it is ug- ly, dangerous, and inhumane. That is why the violation of human rights touches us especially: my generation knows that any attack on human liberty is contagious. The enemy begins by a group and then, from one day_to the next, all are targeted. The op- pressor smothers the indepen- dence of a community and then, without anyone's notic- ing, all humanity risks being swept away. The lesson behind all that? We are forbidden to stand aside, Let's dare to become in- volved in affairs which, in ap- pearance, are not ours; they are. As long as one man or one woman is persecuted, some- where on the planet, that con- cerns us. If we turn our heads, we admit by that our guilt. Albert Camus was right; between the jailor and the prisoner, it is our duty to choose, Not to choose is also a choice, A bad one, Translated from the French by Ann Stiller, Israel Pursues Stronger African, Asian Ties • FINAL SALE OF TIE NUM including ouch mum as; • — • CHARLES JOURDAN • XAVIER DANAVD • 41, 6, MARTIN • JOAN St DAVID • PHYLLIS POLAND Prices Reduced freak Jerusalem (JTA) Israel has "had quite a lot of success" in its efforts to strengthen relations with Third World eountries, par, ticuliirly black African states, most of which broke diplomatic ties with Israel after the IWO Yom Kippur War and have not yet restored them, David Nimche, Di. rector General of the Foreign Ministry, told reporters, "We are in a position to talk to the heads of at lewd 12-16 Afrisn states whenever we wish, We are in a position to talk about And , mate things, We have close rein. tions even if there are not direct diplomatic relatione," Kimehe said, lie also observed that Is- reel's trade with many African states is flourishing, in many egos much more so than in the days Israel had full diplometi re- lations with them. &cording to Kim*, who has &NW onsidersbls time and „ef- fort to I rove relations with Aoloa i0klik * expressed their regrets that their countries broke with Israel 16 years ago.
