Jewish Jerusalem
Continued from Page 2
Marc Tannenbaum gave it
substance in his syndicated
column entitled "Jerusalem
Means Different Things to
Jews, Christians and
Moslems." He recalled the
declaration he made to the
congressmen in this portion
of his column on Jerusalem:
In testimony that I was
invited to present on
Jerusalem before the
House Foreign Affairs
Committee some years ago,
I made the point that
Christianity and Islam
have invested their
reverence for Jerusalem on
particular localities or
sites which are connected
with specific events in
their religious histories —
the Church of the Holy
Sepulcher, among others,
for Christians; and the
Dome of the Rock for
Moslems.
In contrast, Judaism has
sanctified the city as such.
In doing so, Judaism has
kept alive the significance
attached to Jerusalem in
the Bible, and that has
been of decisive impor-
tance for the commanding
central role of the Holy Ci-
ty in Jewish tradition until
this very day.
As Israeli biblical schol-
ar, Shmaryahu Talmon,
has written, "The city
IS YOUR NEST EGG SAFE AND
SECURE? CDs ARE FINE BUT ARE YOU
AWARE OF THE ADVANTAGES AND

name Jerusalem is men-
tioned in Hebrew Scrip-
tures some 750 times. Zion
appears 180 times ...
Altogether there must be
some 2,000 mentions of
Jerusalem in the Hebrew
canon."
Initially Jerusalem had
served as a foreign cult
place inhabited by Ca-
naanites and later
Jebusites. But it was
through the actions of
King David that the
"foreign" city was
transformed for the first
time in history into the
capital — "the metropolis"
— of the Jewish people.
For Christians, their holy
places have been a cons-
tant attraction for Chris-
tian pilgrims, but there is
nowhere a desire of
homeless Christians to
return to the original land
of their religion.
In Jerusalem stands the
third holiest shrine for
Moslems, but the
homeland of Islam is
Arabia. Thus, the critical
interreligious issue in
Jerusalem is the assurance
of free access and protec-
tion of the holy places for
Christians and Moslems,
but Jerusalem and Israel
are not the homeland for
them as it is for Jews. ❑
New Exodus' Defies
Threat To Rescue
W
hatever contributes
to the threatened
destruction of the
Jewish State is in the cards
for the enemies of Jewry and
Israel. -
The entry of even a single
Jew into Israel incites terror
from the PLO and its af-
filiated forces. Now the
migration of Russian Jews
has become the means for
organized threats and invita-
tions to the would-be
democratic elements to con-
demn Israel.
Instead of encouraging
search for freedom by Russian
Jews, even so-called liberals
have given comfort to terror
in the treatment of the New
Exodus. Arafat and the PLO
went even farther.
A Jewish 'Telegraphic Agen-
cy dispatch from Tel Aviv on
April 30 reported the PLO-
Arafat order to followers to
"shoot to kill" every Russian
Jew who tries to settle in
Israel. Then the AIPAC Near
East Report made known the
text of that order in this
translation from the Arabic:
The following is excerp-
ted from a secret speech
reportedly made by Yassir
Arafat.
"You must open fire on
the new Jewish im-
migrants, whether they are
Russians or Falashas. It is
shameful for us to see these
immigrants taking over
our coutnry and settling
our lands without us
interfering.
"I want you to shoot from
the ground or the air on
every immigrant that
believes that immigrating
to our country is a picnic
or a trip. From today on-
wards, the ball is in your
court and don't say that
the political process
prevents us from carrying
out military activity
against the immigrants,
whether they live in Jaffa
or Jericho.
"Today I present to you
my orders to use violence
against the immigrants
and whoever fails, I will
put him in prison.
"Do not treat my words
as a mere threat, it is the
truth ... My decision and
that of the Fatah to use
violence must be con-
ducted in a real manner in
order that the immigrants
will know, and also the
Americans and Soviets
who stand behind them,
that our political and
military policy depends on
our will and not that of
others.
"May my right hand be
cut off if I will sign any
peace treaty which does
not include Jerusalem.
"We know that the
Americans are liars and
our talks have reached a
deadlock, mainly due to
their arrogance following
the reduction in the Soviet
position and Washington's
control of the world
arena."
Threats to pogromise Rus-
sian Jewish emigres have no
limitations. Now they have
spread into numerous Islamic
areas supportive of the PLO.
The newest threats are
revealed in this May 8 JTA
dispatch:
The extremist Islamic
Jihad movement in the
Gaza Strip has threatened
a revolution of knives
against the millions of
Soviet Jews arriving in the
country?'
The exhortation to use
knives on Soviet Jewish
immigrants was addressed
to Moslem believers by the
Islamic fundamentalist or-
ganization, which is urging
that the intifada be
escalated into a holy war.
It was contained in
leaflets the Islamic Jihad,
or Islamic Holy War,
distributed in the Gaza
Strip over the weekend.
It was most encouraging to
hear, upon the revelation of
such barbarism that the
Greater New York Coalition
for Soviet Jewry responded to
the news of Arafat's threat by
renewing its call for direct
flights from Moscow to Tel
Aviv.
The total Jewish response is
more all-inclusive. It is the
declaration that the New Ex-
odus will not only proceed full
force but will keep receiving
added impetus.
"
Meanwhile the Arafat order
for mass murders by his
followers also admonishes
about American guilt in con-
sorting with him and for giv-
ing encouragement to PLO
under the guise of peace
favorings at a time when
these terrorists are increas-
ing the terror.
The basic treatment of the
Arafat order to kill Russian
Jews is the increasing of ac-
tion for the New Exodus. This
is the time for mobilization in
this major obligation. ❑
