Within the framework of
the Passage to Freedom for-
mula for overseas and
domestic disbursement,
Horowitz said, money will be
returned to the cities on a per
capita basis for each refugee.
Communities that have an-
nounced their Passage to
Freedom pledges to date in-
clude Boston, $500,000; New
York, $3.2 million; Los
Angeles, $2 million; Miami,
$250,000; Columbus,
$640,000; and Baltimore, $1.7
million.
Lender said leaders of more
than 100 communities have

committed to Passage to
Freedom "and no one to date
has said they will not par-
ticipate." Horowitz said many
cities must decide whether to
make Passage to Freedom a
separate campaign or part of
their regular fund-raising ef-
fort. Cleveland, a major UJA
city, will include Passage to
Freedom as part of their
regular campaign in the fall.
Horowitz said the Council
of Jewish Federations and in-
dividual communities are lob-
bying the U.S. government to
change the status of Soviet
Jews. Recent decisions have
reduced the number allowed
into the United States,
creating a large backlog in
Ladispoli, Italy. ❑

is for fair treatment of all
peoples, and if the United
States of America is for peace
and for human rights preser-
vation, then it must be for the
formation of a Palestinian
state."
Wearing a dark black suit
and a tie, Bryan Schneider
walked up to the microphone
on the stage.
"Murder the Jews. Murder
them all!" He repeated the
words spoken by Haj Amin al
Husseini, grand mufti of
Jerusalem, when the State of
Israel was established.
This, he said, represents the
view many Arabs hold about
Israel, a nation that has pro-
ven to be a trustworthy
American ally. "When I
speak of the security interest
of Israel, I am also speaking
about the security interests of
the United States," he said.
The West Bank and Gaza
Strip were in Arab hands
from 1948 to 1967. "But they
didn't set up a Palestinian
state nor were they asked to
by the Palestinians,"
Schneider said.
The creation of a Palesti-
nian state would not bring
peace to the Middle East, he
said. "We must remember
that this issue is a result of
the Arab-Israeli conflict, not
the core of it."
Nabeel Abraham said the
question of a Palestinian
state is a moral issue.
"There was a people living
there, my parents among
them, who were minding
their own business and living
peacefully when outside
forces came in and decided to
partition up their land," he
said.
He later compared the
situation to Canadians over-
taking Birmingham and
Bloomfield Hills and declar-

ing it part of Canada.
Now, Abraham said,
Palestinians continue to suf-
fer human rights violations
that the United States ig-
nores. He called this "moral-
ly repugnant."
Abraham also said that vir-
tually every nation except the
United States and Israel sup-
port the establishment of a
Palestinian state. "We are the
rejectionists."
Abraham said that if the
issue is left unresolved, it

'Palestinians do
have rights. They
have the right to
be thrown out of
their homes . . .
the right to be
shot at without
cause.

could lead to such violence
that "we could see the end of
the world."
Rabbi Nelson said respon-
sibility for the Palestinians
lies in Arab hands, much as
Israel has absorbed Jews from
every nation.
"Why don't we hear about
the Jews of Yemen?" he said.
"Because they were in-
tegrated into the fabric of
Israel."
He cited examples of
Palestinians murdered for
allegedly collaborating with
Israel. One Arab, killed by ax
blows and repeated stab
wounds, was described as a
"good man",
by
acquaintances.
"These would be Israel's
neighbors," he said. "Does
this bode well for the future?"
Israelis who abuse Palesti-
nians are quickly punished,
