Box 502 Birmingham, MI 48012 28 FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1988 AMERICAN ISRAEL CORPORATION PNC Declaration Continued from preceding page "fighting in defense of true Judaism. Israel does not represent the Jewish heritage." The media gave the impres- sion that the PNC's declara- tion of independence was greeted by unanimous ap- probation. In fact, the Islamic organizations that dominate Palestinian politics in the Gaza Strip called for a 3-day strike and a subsequent period of mourning (Jeru- salem Domestic Service, Nov. 20 and Al-Quds Palestinian Arab Radio (Nov. 17). Muhammad Husayn Fadlal- lah, the spiritual leader of the Lebanese Shi'ite Hizballah organization said the "so- called" PNC had "no right to recognize the existence of the Zionist regime or to renounce even an inch of Palestinian land" (Tehran Domestic Ser- vice, Nov. 17). And Al-Quds Palestinian Arab Radio (Nov. 12) said the proclamation "means the recognition of the Zionist entity on the ruins of our entity." The Palestinian Popular Struggle Front re- jected the PNC resolution as did the PFLP-GC which called acceptance of Resolu- tion 242 "a serious act of treason" (Al-Quds Palestinian Arab Radio Nov. 16 and 17). In typically contradictory fashion, Libya recognized the new Palestinian state, but condemned the implicit recognition of Israel and labeled those responsible "traitors and defeatists." The Libyan statement also said "Arabs and Israel cannot co- exist" and that "the current Arab generation now has to continue without hesitation the struggle until the Israeli state is destroyed" (Tanjug, Nov. 18). One reason Americans may be willing to accept the claim that the PLO has renounced terrorism is that they are unaware of the regularity with which terrorism occurs. Unless an act is particularly heinous it goes unreported in the U.S. media, but a reading of the Israeli press indicates that terrorist attacks take place every week, and the PLO and its rival factions do not hesitate to take credit for these attacks. When a grenade attack in Haifa in- jured 25 people last August, three different Palestinian groups claimed responsibility, including the PLO. Israel has been widely con- demned for its policy of depor- ting Palestinians. There were no U.S. protests or U.N. resolutions, however, con- demning Egypt's decision to deport eight Palestinians from Cairo to guarantee that country's security (MENA, Nov. 8). When Israel deports Palestinians it is front-page news; when Egypt does it goes unreported. Arab propagandists assert that they are not anti-Semitic and the failure of the press to report otherwise allows them to get away with their claim. The Arab press shows no hesitation, however, in print- Yassir Arafat: But what did he say to Cairo? ing blatantly anti-Semitic remarks. A common manifestation of Arab anti-Semitism is the repetition of canards relating to Jewish power, no doubt the product of reading the Pro- tocols of the Elders of Zion (which is sometimes speci- fically cited as a source). American Jews are frequent- ly attributed with ownership of the media and the power to control U.S. foreign policy. Iraqi Foreign Minister, Sa'dun Hammadi, said U.S. accusations that his country used chemical weapons against the Kurds were "first launched by the U.S. media when the New York Times and the Washington Post published reports written by two journalists whose rela- tionship with Zionist forces is very well known" (Al-Thaw- rah, Sept. 23). Another Iraqi official "affirmed that the U.S. Senate's approval of a draft law imposing economic measures against Iraq ob- viously proves the Zionist influence on [U.S.] decision- making. . ." (INA, September 10). Cairo's Al-Ahram news- paper (September 13), attri- buted U.S. sanctions against Iraq "to Zionist influence which sometimes directs U.S. policy in the wrong direction." The most consistently anti- Semitic remarks emanate from Muslim fundamen- talists. The Arab-Israeli con- flict is always characterized here as a political dispute. Thus, Arab calls for a holy war are usually dismissed as rhetoric, but Muslim leaders sincerely believe they are engaged in a jihad against Israel.
