of Syria in 198.
It became independent
in 110, was captured by
Alexander Yannai in 96,
but declared a free city by
Pompey in 61.
A Jewish population
lived in Gaza throughout
the Middle Ages, as did a
Samarian community un-
t i 1 its capture by
Napolean in 1799. Its Jew-
ish inhabitants left in
1917; the few subsequent-
ly returning departed
during the 1929 Arab
disturbances.

At present there is still a
dominantly overwhelming
judgment as to whether
Israel should withdraw from
Gaza. A revealing analysis
of such divisiveness appears
in a recent issue of the Wall
Street Journal. Amy Dockser
Marcus wrote on "Any Sug-
gestion of Israeli
Withdrawal Sparks Econ-
omic Worries in Gaza Strip."
She wrote:

Ironically, even as an
Israeli consensus seems to
be crystalizing around the
idea of economic, political
and physical separation
from Gaza, Palestinians

She affirmed,"The Israeli
government's official posi-
tion remains that Gaza's
problems must be solved as
part of a comprehensive
Israeli-Palestinian agree-
ment." The Wall Street
Journal writer asserts that
Mr. Rabin opposes the ideal
of withdrawal out of concern
that it will lead to more
violence by groups who view
the move as a sign of
weakness.

What an exciting story in-
volving ancient history and
leading up to the present! It
is a part of our current histo-
ry not to be ignored! It is now
a part of our commitment to
future planning. It should,
therefore, remain on our
agenda with thought for
global commitment. There is
much to benefit the Arabs in
these considerations. ❑

seen as a sign that the new
ambassador intends to take
the United Nations seriously
as a diplomatic arena.
In the letter, Mr. Yaacobi
reiterated statements made
last month by the Israeli
Cabinet, President Chaim
Herzog and Foreign Min-
ister Shimon Peres concern-
ing the renewed manifesta-
tions of anti-Semitism in
Germany and other nations
of Europe.
"It is the duty of the world
to remember the atrocities of
the past and not to allow
them to cast their ugly shad-
ow upon the future," wrote
Mr. Yaacobi.
"Nations should enact ap-
propriate legislation and se-
verely punish those who
commit acts of racist
violence. It is our duty and
our mission to condemn this
threat without hesitation,
and to put an end to it."

There is a long way to
go. A United Nations de-
velopment official says
Gaza's situation is so bad
that the only way to ease
the economic misery may
be to move tens of
thousands of Gazans to
the West Bank, which has
greater potential for
economic independence.

Racism Issue
Raised At U.N.

United Nations (JTA) —
Israel's ambassador to the
United Nations has raised
the issue of rising racism
and anti- Semitism in
Europe with the world body.
In a letter to U.N. Secre-
tary-General Boutros
Boutros- Ghali, Mr. Yaacobi
conveyed "the deep concern
of the government and peo-
ple of Israel" over the
phenomenon.
Mr. Yaacobi also raised
the issue in a meeting with
Stoyan Ganev, president of
the U.N. General Assembly.
In that meeting, he asked
Mr. Ganev to address the
topic in his closing speech to
the General Assembly.
The letter to the secretary-
general will be circulated to
the U.N. membership.
And while unlike a resolu-
tion, it has no formal impact
on the world body, Mr.
Yaacobi's letter could be
