YOU'RE COVERED With Our New T-Shirt! I UP FRONT Rabbis Criticize Continued from Page 5 "It is therefore more confus- ing and disturbing to us that your public letter to the Secretary of State should slap the wrists of the leaders of the government of Israel by equating the Jew-hating in- transigence of the_ surroun- ding nations to the hesitancy of Israel to give away its ter- ritory in exchange for a less than undcertain peace." The rabbis concluded their letter with the statement that "While we fully share your frustration and concern for this region and its peoples, we strongly disagree with the medium that you have used that can only hurt the State of Israel and our people" Rabbi Gruber, who wrote the Council letter, said the letter was brought before the Vaad where it received unanimous approval. He ex- plained that the rabbis decid- ed to write Levin because they were confused by his decision to publicly praise Shultz and chastise Shamir.

CHILD SMALL J L 18 STATE FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 1988 Allen Pollack, a former American professor of history who makes his home in Israel, told a group of Allied Jewish Campaign volunteers Sunday that the picture painted in the press of Palesti- nian children fighting with sticks and stones masks the reality of serious injury to many Israeli soldiers, some of them no older than their attackers. The dilemma of Palestinian moderates, said Pollack, is in knowing that Israel is basically moral β€” and not be- ing able to stop the rioters. "As long as this situation is in the hands of extremists, the Palestinians will wind up with nothing." Pollack, who was in- strumental in establishing American Professors for Peace in the Middle East on 600 college campuses, ad- dressed a "Countdown to Closing" breakfast meeting Sunday. Noting that the Campaign officially closes in a little over two weeks, Chairmen David B. Hermelin and Jane Sher- man said workers have received pledges of $23.2 million to date. They must still reach 4,000 persons who contributed last year. Pollack's Gaza/West Bank scenario for the coming months starts with an Israel election by November. Whoever wins (he predicts Likud), Israel will again seek out negotiating partners. Because the Palestinians and Jordan can be expected to decline, he said, "We'll pick a date and act by ourselves, of- fering autonomy to 1.5 million Arabs" without giv- ing up any territory. Pollack sees a dire situation for the Arabs once Israel leaves them on their own. Moslem fundamentalists will battle for turf with the PLO β€” much like Lebanon. The Arab summit con- ference proved that the Palestiniaii-problem is not of the highest priority for their fellow Arabs. The Gulf war and Moslem fundamentalism are of far greater concern, said Pollack. He assured his listeners that it's "legitimate to feel uncomfortable about what you're seeing on television. But don't be fixated by it. Fundamentally, Israel is a moral society. If the area were still ruled by Jordan, this rioting wouldn't be going on now By the third day, the Jor- dan army would go in, wipe out the rioters, and it would be over. We can't do that." The 1988 Allied Jewish Campaign will conlude with a party for all Campaign con- tributors on April 11 at Adat Shalom Synagogue. Set for 6:30 p.m., the even- ing will feature singer Theodore Bikel. There is a charge for the evening. Sherman and Hermelin have scheduled a final "before the closing" telethon, 6:30 p.m. Monday at United Hebrew Schools. "Our goal this year," said Hermelin, "is to record as many pledges as possible by April 11. This way we will have an accurate number to work with when it comes time to allocate Allied Jewish Campaign funds." Sherman added that when a contributor makes a pledge, they have the option of defer- red billing. "They'll have un- til December to pay it off," she said. A veteran stage and screen personality, as well as an ac- complished folk singer, Bikel will be bringing new material to Detroit this year, and will be accompanied by his musical director, Elliot Finkel.
