PESACH 1989: Let One Who is Hungry Enter and Eat In different times and in different places we have always read the words with which our seder meal opens-"Let all who are hungry enter and eat"-In those times and places we have always been called upon to reach out to those who are the most deprived among us-those who are hungry. MAZON, A Jewish Response to Hunger. is a way in our time to respond to the scandal of hunger in our own country and around the world. Israel has increased in recent years — despite the Palesti- nian intifada. And he charges Fein with` grossly exag- gerating the alienation of American Jews toward Israel." What we ask of you is quite simple and in keeping with our Jewish tradition. It is that you join with us by adding one more guest to your seder table. Through a gift of $18 -Chai - io Mazon, the ancient words will take on real meaning and will provide for those who suffer outside our doors. Please join in this effort; let all who are compassionate join and redeem our invitation.

In a two-page in- terpretative schematic of the "Palestinian Declaration of Independence," novelist. An- ton Shammas makes repeated comparisons bet- ween this document and Israel's 1948 Declaration of Independence. Among these: • Israel's declaration began with the phrase, "Eretz Israel was the birthplace of the Jewish people. Here their spiritual, religious and political identity was shaped." The Palestinian declaration starts with the claim that Palestine "is where the Palestinian Arab people was born, on which it grew, developed and excelled." Both these preambles, notes Shammas, "would seem to assert a natural historic right to all the land from Jordan to the sea?' But the rest of the text illustrates, according to Shammas, that Palestinians "recognize that, inevitably, have to trade down the homeland of the mind for a narrow state underfoot." • The declaration's accep- tance of the 1947 partition that would have created two states — Palestine and Israel — is "perhaps," said Sham- mas, "the most important statement in the declaration" because it "means that the Palestine National Council accepts a two-state solution" to the Israeli-Palestinian dispute. But, asks Shammas, "it is ambiguous? Of course. It is a basis for negotiation. It is not, as Israeli officials would have it, a clear implica- tion that the PNC wants the two states to return to the proposed 1947 borders, borders beyond which Israel has unambiguously expand- ed. The fact is, Israel has no fixed borders today. And nobody, but nobody, in Israel's current coalition government talks about a two-state solu- tion. No ambiguity there?" . Theodore R.
