Ariel Sharon Talk Critical Of Israel Los Angeles (JTA) — Warn- ing that the Arabs are about to achieve through peace what they failed to ac- complish in war, Ariel Sha- ron drew large crowds dur- ing a recent three-day swing of Southern California. During his appearances here, the hard-line former defense minister of Israel harshly criticized the pre- sent Israeli government, which has signed a peace ac- cord with the Palestine Lib- eration Organization. He also attempted to raise money for Jewish set- tlements in the territories and downplayed his own plans for the future. The veteran general and Likud stalwart told featuring Thomasville's Winston Court Dining Room Collection. Set includes: Queen Anne table with leaves, two side chairs, two arm chairs and master china.

When Jews hear the word `peace,' they melt." Mr. Sharon charged that since the signing last September of the self-rule accord between Israel and the PLO, all concessions had come from the Israeli side; and that of 15 Palestinian terrorist organizations, only one — PLO Chairman Yassir Arafat's mainstream Al Fatah group — had ac- cepted the accord. Mr. Sharon's visit to Los Angeles and Orange counties was part of two- week tour he made of 10 North American cities, sponsored by the Yesha Council of Jewish Com- munities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza. During his cross-country tour, which included numer- ous private meetings with potential donors, Mr. Sharon hopes to raise between $2 million and $3 million, ac- cording to Yechiel Leiter, executive director of Yesha's foreign desk. During a news conference here, the feisty 66-year-old Mr. Sharon saved his bit- terest denunciations for the government of Prime Min- ister Yitzhak Rabin, which he charged had all but aban- doned the settlers. Likening the settlers in the territories to the early pioneers who established the first Jewish towns in Palestine, Mr. Sharon said that "160,000 Jews (in the settlements) are being boycotted by the Jewish government in Jerusalem." The actions of the Rabin government necessitated his current trip, Mr. Sharon told more than 100 people at a meeting of the Jewish Fed- eration Council's Jewish Community Relations Committee. "I never thought I would have to go around the world knocking on doors and ask- ing people to donate money for ambulances, more kindergartens and sup- plementary education (for the settlers), because these are not being provided by the government," he said. At a news conference, Mr. Sharon ducked questions about his previously re- ported plans to campaign for the post of prime minister. UNIFIL Retraction Tel Aviv (JTA) — A Finnish soldier serving with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon was slight- ly wounded when the UNIFIL post north of the southern Lebanon security zone came under shelling. UNIFIL filed a complaint against Israel but then retracted it when it learned the shell that hit the soldier had been fired by the South Lebanon Army, Israel's ally, but not by the Israel Defense Force. The incident occurred after a roadside bomb attack against an SLA patrol, in which an SLA soldier was slightly wounded. The Believers Resistance, a radical Shi'ite organiza- tion that broke away from the Amal Shi'ite movement several years ago, claimed responsibility for the attack against the SLA unit. ❑
