Jacob K. Javits:
Most Admired
Jacob K. Javits was assuredly
one of the most distinguished per-
sonalities of this century.
A native of the East Side of New .
York, he imbibed its spirit on the
'highest level.
In the course of time he gained
the admiration and support of the
West Side.
In the service of the State of
New York, the U.S. House of
Representatives and the U.S. Se-
nate he was the dignified states-
man whose diplomatic skills de-
fied the most serious dangers..
It can be said without challenge
that while thus- rendering public
service he was equally devoted in
his identification with his fellow
_Jewish Americans.
Courige and dignity motivated
his activities until the very end of
his life when he succumbed to a
dreadful illness. He never inter-
rupted writing and lecturing.
When he addressed the Detroit
Jewish Book Fair four years ago,
he spoke to an overflow audience
from a wheelchair.
In his lifetime of respect-filled
devotions, Senator Javits gained
admiration for dedicated labors in
support of —
Civil rights obligations;
Aims to Advance the needs of
the elderly;
Raising to high levels the
standards of our government's
foreign affairs.
Protection of Israel and assur-
ance of her status economically
and as a state always to be pro-
vided with security.
He was certainly ideologically a
Zionist.
For all the services he was re-
ndering he kept earning the ad-
miration of his fellow citizens, and
his memory will ever be a blessing
' to the generations benefiting from
his devotions.

go to any Jew or any Palestinian
and he can prove to you histori-
cally, geographically, culturally
that he has more rights to the land
of Israel," commented Darawshi.
For Darawshi, life has 'taken
some unexpected turns. 'VVhile'at
the Hebrew University in
Jerusalem, he was invited by a
friend to attend a dialogue be-
tween Jewish and Arab students.
Prepared to convince everyone
there that the Palestinian answer
was the only viable one, he
gradually came to understand
over several weeks that meaning-
ful dialogue between the two
groups was a more effective tool.
After graduating with a degree
in English and sociology, he spent
three years working with the In-
stitute for Co-existence Between
Arabs and Jews. This was fol-
lowed by a year and a. half as a
parliamentary assistant in the .
Knesset. His current tour in-
volves giving lectures and semi-
nars at universities and to in- •
•terested groups around the coun-
try, trying to raise awareness.
And that 'message <is one of
moderation, a possible alterna-
•tive in a situation going nowhere.
Darawshi feels there is no easy
golution, but working with people
to overcome stereotypeg could be a
positive step. The lack of trust be-
tween Jews and Arabs needs to be
broken down, he says, and that
can only be achieved through
understanding that comes from
'
' healthy, equal contact.
On the subject of equality, he
said, "I'm not here to be nice." He

education Jewish and Arab chi':
dren receive. Because most Arab
children , live in villages, which
the government mandates .to be
villages, less money is given to
education than is allotted in areas
denoted as towns where the .
Jewish youngsters go to school.
The Arab children lack kinder-
gartens, libraries and
laboratories, so when they attend,
university later they find they are
disadvantaged educationally, and
many drop out, claimed Daraw-
shi. He complained that Arab
families don't easily get lowered
tuition costs for university.
When questioned about the fact
Arabs don't serve in the Israeli
army as other Israelis must,
Darawshi countered with the
statement that Palestinians
would not be willing to fight their
fellow Arabs, as they are probably
related to them. "Besides, im-
agine having lots of young Pales-
tinians running ;around Israel
armed! How do you think the
Jewish people would feel?" •
National' service is a concept
being explored for the Arab youth.
Darawshi feels this is a com-
mendable idea, but says it has one
basic flaw. National Service is
aimed at communal work, where
the young people are invovled in
hospitals, community centers and
other institutions. Arab villages
lack these facilities. It would
mean young Arabs would be leav-
ing their homes to do communal
work in Jewish areas.
Dialogue can only come about
when two parties feel .equal, said
