June 1981, when they
destroyed the reactor at
- Osiraq. I mention this only
to emphasize how much
graver and more threaten-
ing the current crisis would
have been if, in addition to
; his missiles and chemical
weapons, Saddam Hussein
_ also had nuclear capability.
Nevertheless, Iraq
possesses a huge volume of
conventional and non-
conventional weapons which
could endanger the countries
in this region and further
afield. Yet, I assure you,
Israel is calm and confident,
',strong and secure, because of
the quality and nature of our
' own defense system that has
deterred aggression and
prevented war in the past,
and will do so now and in the
future.
I believe that these events
must lead the free world to a
reassessment of the nations
and groups in this area. It
has, obviously, not gone un-
noticed that the PLO is the
most anti- American ele-
ment in the region. Its mem-
- hers and supporters demon-
strate in the streets in favor
of Saddam Hussein and
against the United States of
America. The PLO are not
partners for peace; they are
the very opposite of peace,
while we remain committed
to our peace initiative, and
r wait patiently for the time
when other elements will
come to the fore and be ready
for open discussions with us
about co-existence and
peace.
Nothing must distract us
from the historic task of br-
inging home the masses of
I our people from the Soviet
Union and from other parts
of the world. Since last Rosh
Hashanah the dream that
the Soviet authorities would
"Let My People Go" has
become a thrilling reality
before our eyes. Tens of
thousands have come to the
country from all parts of the
Soviet Union. They are a
positive element who are
happy and excited to be here
and ready to do all they can
to participate in the devel-
opment of our state and
nation.
This heaven-sent blessing
has presented a challenge to
the entire Jewish people. We
) must combine all our efforts,
all our resources, to find
ways of absorbing the olim
from the Soviet Union, Ethi-
opia and other countries suc-
cessfully, and of integrating
them easily and comfortably
into our society.
This is one of the greatest
challenges we have faced.
I hope that all of us together
will meet this challenge. ❑

Our wish for a
