Rabin Makes Statement
On Settlements

Jerusalem (JTA) — Yit-
zhak Rabin, who hopes to
lead the Labor Party to vic-
tory in the Knesset elections
next month, laid down his
position on the sensitive set-
tlements issue to Jewish
fund-raisers from New York
Q who were visiting here.
Settlements are important
to security in selected areas,
but not at the expense of ab-
sorption, Mr. Rabin told 500
members of a "mega-
mission" sponsored by the
D UJA-Federation of New
York.
"Israel must shift its focus
away from the settlements
and toward the creation of
jobs if aliyah is to continue,"
Mr. Rabin said in his ad-
dress.
1 - He avoided criticizing the
rival Likud party directly,
possibly because of Israel's
campaign laws, which bar
; electioneering at non-
' political functions. But he
made clear his rejection of
its philosophy of unlimited
settlements, to which it is
allocating much of the
nation's resources.
Noting that the country's
overall unemployment rate
has reached 12 percent, and
that 30 to 40 percent of new
— immigrants are out of work,
,--)mr. Rabin warned that

"unemployment is the most
dangerous social disease we
have. It has created tensions
within the delicate fabric of
our society, and it is getting
worse."
He laid down the election
gauntlet when he said, "Ask
the Israeli people which they
prefer: to spend money on
settlements or on reducing
unemployment. Joblessness
is a common disease that af-
flicts all segments of the
population."
The Labor Party leader
charged that immigration
figures will remain low until
Israel solves its financial
woes. "No one is going on
aliyah knowing he won't
have a job when he gets
here," he said.
Though critical of the
government's unequivocal
stand on the issue of set-
tlements, Mr. Rabin agreed
that "settlements on the
confrontation lines, such as
the Jordan Valley and the
Golan Heights, serve the
security needs of Israel."
He also said he was "not
arguing about Jerusalem. I
was born here 70 years ago. I
participated in the wars that
decided the modern fate of
Jerusalem. No one will teach
me the meaning of
Jerusalem."

Neo-Nazis Convene,
Demand Legalization

Madrid (JTA) — Some of
the most notorious neo-Nazis
of Europe and North
America convened here last
weekend demanding the
legalization of national so-
cialist parties in the name of
"freedom of expression."
The convention was
organized by the Spanish
Circle of Friends of Europe,
known by its acronym
CEDADE. It drew no more
than 30 or 40 people and
media attention was scant.
But the speakers list in-
cluded German-born Ernst
Zundel of Toronto, who was
convicted under Canada's
anti-hate laws for
distributing material deny-
ing the Holocaust.
Others were Manfred
Roeder, sentenced to 13
years in prison for terrorist
activities in his native Ger-
many, and Thies
Christophersen, a German
who distributes Nazi pam-
phlets in Denmark.
Spain was selected as the
site of the gathering ap-
parently because it is one of

the few countries in Europe
which lacks a law banning
symbols, political parties
and movements advocating
race hatred. Nevertheless,
Spain has been a constitu-
tional democracy since the
death of its fascist dictator,
Francisco Franco, in 1975.
The Madrid municipality
previously banned meetings
organized by CEDADE. This
time the neo-Nazis were or-
dered to adjourn early to
avoid crowds of soccer fans
leaving an important match.
CEDADE is organizing a
political party intended to be
a coalition of extreme right-
wing elements in Spain, to
run in the next parliamen-
tary elections scheduled for
1993.
"We will work within the
legal framework," one
CEDADE leader told a local
newspaper, "because Hitler
got to power through perfect-
ly legal elections. But the
difference is that we won't
abolish other political par-
ties because we accept the
constitution."
