"haves" helping the "have-
nots" is clear, and we are
proud of it.
Just turn to the records
of your finance minister
and see how much has
_ been given to you and your
country for many years by
Saudi Arabia, willingly
and happily, as brothers.
Are not facts stubborn
things!
When you needed Saudi
troops to help you, they
came and spent 10 years in
your country at your ask-
ing. And we did not ques-
tion why or why not, nor
raise "ifs," "ands" or
"buts;' as you do now
Facts are stubborn
things.
You are a very intelligent
man, Your Majesty. And
you have a fine memory.
You say the Kuwait-Iraqi
border is disputed and
based on a historical
record created by the col-
onial British. Your Majesty,
you should be the last one
to say that. Not only all
your borders but your
whole country was created
by the colonial British.
Facts are stubborn
things, indeed, Your
Majesty.
And do you remember
when the British troops
were invited by you into
your country in 1958? We
did not object or question
your motives and judg-
ment over that.
Facts are stubborn
things.
You tell us that the situa-
tion today is like 1914,
when the world was falling
into a war it did not want
but could not stop. That led
to World War I.
That is not true. Your Ma-
jesty, we are today in a
period like the 1930s, when
a madman decided to an-
nex his neighbors and the
world did nothing. That
led to World War II.
These are the facts.
Facts are stubborn
things.
Your Majesty, please
remember what caused
this entire crisis in our
region: the invasion of the
Arab and Muslim state of
Kuwait by Saddam Hus-
sein. And only after that,
and because of that, were
Muslim Arab and friendly
forces invited. They will all
leave when this agression
is turned back or when we
ask them to leave.
These are facts, Your Ma-
jesty, and facts are stub-
born things.
In the interest of truth
regarding the Middle East,
the challenges against Jor-
dan's ruler by his abandoned
Saudi compatriot must be
treated as presented. While
some of the facts need amend-
ing_with regard to Israel, in
the total picture these facts
need testing.
There is a matter ap-
proaching sensationalism in
this new development. For
many decades Saudi Arabia
was feared as a possible ma-
jor threat to Israel's very ex-
istence. Saudis were consor-
ting with Mr. Arafat and the
menacing elements in the
Middle East. Israel found it
necessary to protest U.S. arms
sales to Saudis. Now the
Saudi ambassador compiles
facts as an indictment of a
chief ally.
Let us wait for responses to
learn whether facts can be
hidden or whether they can
be ignored when they convey
a message that confirms
Israel's truthful role in the
Middle East.

Saladin
Continued from Page 2
was 13, Cordoba was cap-
tured by the Almohade
Arabs, and Moses and his
family fled, eventually
reaching Fez, Morocco. In
the course of his travels
Moses continued his
studies of Arabic
philosophy, geometry,
natural sciences,
astronomy, and medicine.
At the age of 30, he was
forced to take to the road
again. Moses headed
eastward and reached
Palestine, where he found
no possibility of settling,
and subsequently moved
to Egypt. In Egypt, he went
into the business of
precious stones, in part-
nership with his brother;
however, after his brother
drowned and the business
collapsed, Moses made a
living as a physician, final-
ly receiving appointment
as doctor in the court of
the Sultan, Saladin. During
this period, he also became
the leader of the Egyptian
Jewish community with
the official title of "Head of
the [Jewish] Nation."
Even with the cautionary
last sentence, this is a
historian's demand for ac-
curacy and knowledge of
medieval world history.
Saladin's tolerance and his
friendly relations with Jews
as well as Christians should
not be forgotten. Utilization
of the Saladin name at this
time, especially by the Iraqis
as an aim to destroy Israel,
creates a duty for the media
to avoid distortions.
The Saladin element in
history provides the media a
duty and a responsibility to
treat truthfully the name and
role of one of the world's most
important personalities.
Saladin was a friend of
Jewry and his memory should
be used to cement not to
undermine Arab-Jewish
cooperation.

Calendar
Importance
0
our printed calendar
is gaining importance
for all schools, with
emphasis on universities, in
planning dates for
examinations.
Setting of the Sabbath and
major Holy Days for universi-
ty exams that affect Jewish
students keeps creating pro-
blems. The advance distribu-
tion of the Jewish calendar
becomes a serious communi-
ty duty.
The continuing problem is
called attention to in a letter
published in the September-
October 1990 Michigan
Alumnus. Rabbi Mark Shook
of St. Louis, (U-M, '66) raises
the issue in the following:
In reading the letter by
Ms. McKinney in the
May/June (1990) issue of
Michigan Alumnus, I was
appalled to learn of plans
for graduate degree exer-
cises to take place at 9 a.m.
on Saturday, May 5, 1990.
The reason for my dismay
is the fact that for a
number of graduate
students and their families,
Saturday morning is part
of the Sabbath and as
such, they would not be
able to participate fully in
their own graduation or
the graduation of one of
their family members.
To schedule the gradua-
tion on a Saturday morn-
ing is an unnecessary in-
sult at worst and terribly
insensitive at best. On the
subject of appropriate
graduation ceremonies, I
can only say that the
stadium tradition is
something that should not
be so quickly abandoned.
The Michigan Alumnus
editor chose to utilize this let-
ter under the heading "Satur-
day Graduation an Insult?"
The letter writer and fellow
Jews thus affected certainly
think it is so easy to avoid the
insult. The hurling of it can
and should be avoided. It can
be prevented by respecting
the religious devotions of
Jewish students, especially
relating to Holy Days.
