Birth Niec 120 is FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 1988 Deportation Has Roots In British Mandate Era Israel's image around the world, and those of the Foreign Ministry. In addition to the nine Palestinians under deporta- tion orders, there are present- ly about 50 in administrative detention, HUGH ORGEL T el Aviv (JTA) — There is more than a little irony in Israel's policy of deporting Palestinian troublemakers. Nineteen have been expell- ed from the administered ter- ritories during the past two years and deportation orders were issued against nine others Jan. 3. The legal basis derives from the British Man- date's defense emergency regulations of 1945. The irony lies in the fact that those very same regula- tions were applied to deport members of Haganah and of the dissident underground Irgun and Stern gang to such places as Kenya and the Seychelles before Israel was founded. Many of the Israeli leaders now deporting Palestinians were once members of Haganah, the Irgun or the Sternists. On the diplomatic front, Israel's expulsions have elicited uniform condemna- tion from its Western friends and allies. It is based on the Geneva Conventions, especially the Fourth Conven- tion of 1949 on the rights and obligations of occupying powers, which states that deportations must not be car- ried out from territories oc- cupied during war. Israeli officials and experts on international law point out that the relevant text — paragraph 49 — refers to the mass deportations of popula- tions from territories of another nation captured in war. Foreign Ministry legal ex- pert Ronni Sabel stresses that neither the West Bank nor the Gaza Strip can be regard- ed as "foreign territory" and that there is no question of "mass deportations." The ex- pulsions apply only to a relatively few agitators and ringleaders. An Israel Defense Force spokesman further narrowed it down to "particularly disruptive individuals" in "exceptional circumstances, when previous means have proved insufficient to stop ac- tivity presenting a clear and- present danger to the securi- ty or public safety of the region." Sabel observed that the dif- ferentiation between "mass deportations" and the expul- sions ordered by Israel has been borne out by the Inter- Jewish Telegraphic Agency "mml OBITUARIES Isidor Rabi Shamir: Also a deportee. national Red Cross and pro- minent international legal experts. It has also been upheld by numerous rulings of Israel's Supreme Court. Moreover, the court rulings extend the safeguards of due legal process to potential deportees. They may appeal the expulsion orders to a military board of review and, if unsuccessful, to the high court itself. Sabel and other Israeli jurists also maintain that Israel is not "deporting" in- dividuals in the generally ac- cepted meaning of the word. Rather, Israel is transferr- ing West Bank residents (who still hold Jordanian passports and are governed by Jorda- nian law), administered by Israel in a territory not incor- porated into Israel, from one part of what Jordan still con- siders its territory to another part of that territory across the Jordan River. According to Sabel, refusal by Jordan to accept such in- dividuals would be illegal, because no country may, under international law, refuse to accept its own citizens deported from another country. But that reasoning has dangerous pitfalls. It can be interpreted as implying that the West Bank remains a part of Jordan, a view that is anathema to Israeli right-wingers. If Israel has to incorporate the West Bank, as right-wing parties demand, it would be deporting its own citizens, and Jordan would have the legal right to refuse to accept them. To resolve the dilemma, Israeli officials say the political echelon must seek a compromise between the demands of the Defense Ministry and the military authorities, who stress securi- ty with little regard for New York (JTA) — Isidor Isaac Rabi, a Nobel laureate physicist, died Jan. 12 at age 89. Mr. Rabi won the Nobel Prize in 1944 for his work on magnetic properties of atoms, molecules and atomic nuclei. His discoveries were in- strumental in the develop- ment of the atomic clock, the laser and diagnostic scanning of the human body by nuclear magnetic resonance. Born in what was then Austria-Hungary, Mr. Rabi had a 63-year association with Columbia University, which in 1985 accorded him the rare honor of creating a professorial chair in his name. He received his doctorate from Columbia in 1927, taught there and established a center for physics and was named a professor emeritus in 1967. During World War II, Mr. Rabi was a leader of the research team in Cambridge, Mass., that helped develop radar. He also served as a senior adviser on the Manhattan Project, which developed the atomic bomb. He joined with Enrico Fer- mi to oppose the next step in the arms race, a weapon pro- posed by Dr. Edward Teller and others that eventually became the hydrogen bomb. The two urged a world con- ference to prohibit further research on so powerful a bomb. After the war, Mr. Rabi started his efforts to control the atom, working first to devise what became known as the Baruch Plan for interna- tional control of atomic energy. He was the guiding spirit behind the 1955 United Nations Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy. Mr. Rabi was a member of Israel's Bar-Ilan University's science advisory committee. He received an honorary doc- torate from Bar-Ilan Univer- sity last June.
