Jackson Is Committed To Middle East Peace WOLF BLITZER Special to the Jewish News T ell the Israeli people that I care," Democra- tic Presidential can- didate Jesse Jackson said, "and tell the Palestinian peo- ple that I care. Whatever I can do, ever, to talk with both sides, to move them to a higher level of mutual ex- istence, I will do." In an interview last week, Jackson spoke of his commit- ment to peace between Israel and its Arab neighbors, call- ing for mutual recognition between Israel and the Pal- estinians. Although in the past he has angered the American Jewish community, in more recent years Jackson has sought to mend fences. During his ad- dress before the 1984 Demo- cratic National Convention in San Francisco, Jackson apolo- gized for having offended some groups during the cam- paign. " More recently, the 46-year- old minister-turned-politician publicly confronted Soviet General-Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev in Moscow on the issue of Soviet Jewry. And on Nov. 10, 1987, he wrote to Syrian President Assad in the aftermath of widespread re- ports that Alois Brunner, the Nazi war criminal, was living in Damascus. "The heinous acts against humanity of the Third Reich cry out even this day for justice," Jackson wrote. As President, Jackson said that he would work for Is- raeli-Palestinian "security, recognition, and a chance at prosperity and growth." The status quo in the territories, he insisted, involves only "false security" for Israel. Despite the current vio- lence. in the West Bank and Gaza, he outlined an optimis- tic vision of the region follow- ing an eventual peace agree- ment. "Israel, beyond war — which seems beyond most people's imagination right now — beyond occupation, could become virtually a center of trade, culture and commerce in the Middle East," he said. He insisted that the ad- vanced U.S. arms systems pro- vided to Israel — fighter air- craft and missiles — were "essentially dysfunctional" in terms of offering long-term security to Israel. "Security lies in peace, not in mutual destruction." Israel's security would be further enhanced following an agreement with the Arabs, he continued, because Israel would then be able to reclaim "the world support that it is presently losing. The more the present formula lingers on, the more Israel becomes isolated in world opinion. "Israel's right authority, ultimately, is moral authori- ty — its right to exist, the violations that the Jewish people suffered under the German persecution. The per- secution gave the Israelis moral authority. From moral authority grew world support. From moral authority grew economic support and mili- tary support and allies and hope. But the present ar- rangement is draining (Is- rael's) moral authority, which is its strongest authority. "I've heard some people argue that Israel should not be held to a higher moral standard than other nations. Why not? It is the strongest authority, and it's where leadership comes from. That's the great prophetic tradition. Its existence was based on moral authority. Its appeal is based on that." Jackson said. Sitting in his cramped Washington office, Jackson charged that U.S. policy toward the Middle East dur- ing the Reagan Administra- tion has effectively collapsed. "We did not build upon Camp David," he said. "We allowed it to collapse." He said the United States should not wait to see if it can get assistance from Jordan's King Hussein or the Soviet Union even if they eventual- ly become involved in some sort of international peace conference. "We should take the initiative," he said, "because even now we have the credibility." Asked who would represent the Palestinians, Jackson said, "The representatives of their choice because that's what self-determination ac- cords. They must determine their representatives. And Israel must determine its representativei. Neither side can choose the other side's negotiating team." Asked if that meant the PLO, Jackson said, "I wouldn't say PLO. I would say the representatives of the Palestinian choice. Let's deal with the principle of self- determination . . . human rights and law." Headache, Facial Pressure, Swollen Eyes, Stuffy Nose, Snoring, Nasal Obstruction, Breathing Problems, Post Nasal Drainage. SINUS TROUBLE CAN BE A PAIN IN THE FACE OR A POP IN THE EAR. You may have a chronic problem and not even realize it. Breathing difficulties, stuffiness, blockage in your nasal passages, a drip in the back of your throat. These symptoms may be more than a "persistent" cold, or the so-called "Michigan Nose," which many think is caused by our climate. The fact is: your sinuses may be the real source of trouble. Facial pressure and pain, headaches that last beyond the norm, ear popping, nasal stuffiness . . . each is also a symptom of sinusitis. More seriously, chronic sinusitis does not improve or disappear on its own, like a common head cold. It can trouble you for long periods, and can reoccur. In time, the prognosis can become more complex, even undermining your total health picture. You owe it to yourself to have the best medical attention. The doctors at E.N.T. are specialists in sinus care. They can diagnose and treat sinusitis and related symptoms. At E.N.T. your sinus trouble need not be chronic. See the specialists. Nobody knows and cares more about your sinuses, ears, nose, and throat. 27301 Dequindre, Madison Heights 541-0100 28080 Grand River, Farmington Hills 478-8616 13355 E.
