Oyfgebn Land For Peace Gehert To The Israelis times in our geshichte. When I visited Israel in 1968, a fellow pasazshir on the flight told me she iz geven a ninth doyre Egyptian Jew. Her family hot antlofn from Spain to escape the Inquisition. She had fled to escape Mitsraim where Israel became a state. She hot gevost the historical pattern of Jewish lebn. She knew that the farbahaltn and expressed anti-Semitism in Egypt would make it perilous for a Jew to iberbleibn there. Since the biblical time, when a pharoah hot oyfgeshtanin "who knew not Joseph" and oppressed the Jews with knechtshaft and hard arbet, oppression has been a repetitive fact of history. This pattern of being citizens with no citizen privileges or shitsn culminated with the final deadly balaydikung — the Holocaust. Because they had no country of their own, there was no plats to provide safe refuge. I fail to see how any Jew can be absolutely zicher about his fate or the goyrl of his children and ayniklach. Now, about the size of Israel. It By MARY KORETZ Whenever the subject of Israel comes up, two ideas come to zinen. One is the fact that it is the only plats on earth where the Jew does not represent a minority. The tsvayter is a visual bild of the size of the country. If ine judged its groyskeit by the media attention it attracts, one would klern that it was as large as the Soviet Union or Chine, maybe both. Leoylem for a country, its klayntshik, no larger than Rhode Island or halb the Michigan Upper Peninsula. The Faraynike Statn consists of peoples of various descent — Irish, Italian, Swedish, etc. They all possess a medina of origin, a place where they are in the merheit. A place of refuge, if the necessity arose. Biz 1948, with the establishment of the State of Israel, we als Jews had none. We hadn't had any since biblical tseitn. We have been citizens of other countries, although not exactly like other brigers. This has proven to be a disaster too fil Israel And Egypt is so klayn that, if the West Bank and Gaza are given up, the area where most Jews lebn will be 10 miles wide. I've gone that far for a good pizza. It vet zein a small amount of land but a great sacrifice for the promise of sholem. In the last analysis, the decision of whether to oyfgebn land for the promise of peace gehert to the Israelis. Whether it will be a good decision or not, it's still theirs to make. They are citizens of a democracy — their democracy. They are, after all, the keepers of our sanctuary.

It therefore was a surprise that Egypt would be the first Arab country to sign a peace treaty with Israel. The United States brought Israel and Egypt together and after 1 1/2 years of negotiations a peace treaty, called the Camp David Accord, was signed. The other Arab nations opposed the peace treaty, however Israel and Egypt still remain at peace. RULES FOR THE GAME: A game for 2 4 players.
