Groups Back Gaza Plan

New York/JTA — A leading American
Jewish umbrella organization will issue
a statement backing Israel's planned
withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.
The move follows heated debate at
a Oct. 14 meeting of the Conference
of Presidents of Major American
Jewish Organizations. The statement
will express support for U.S.-Israeli
understandings on Israel's planned
withdrawal from Gaza, while acknowl-
edging that the issue is still being
reviewed by the Knesset, said Malcolm
Hoenlein, the conference's executive
vice chairman.
A draft statement will be circulated
among the group's 52 member organi-
zations in the next few days.

Israel Abusing Rights?

New York/JTA — Israel violates
human rights in the West Bank and
Gaza Strip, according to the
annual U.N. human rights report.
The report, slated for release to the
U.N. General Assembly later this
month, says Israel has practiced "mas-
sive and wanton destruction of proper-
ty" and that some of its actions are
unrelated to security concerns. The
Aug. 12 report was written before
Israel's recent operation in Gaza.

THE ISSUE

Strong criticism has emerged
recently in Israel's mainstream press
in reaction to several rabbis and
groups of rabbis issuing religious
rulings urging soldiers to disobey
possible future orders to dismantle
settlements. The rulings have been
called -threats to democracy.

BERM TEE ISSUE

.

.

Editorial writers proclaim that
Israel cannot survive without an
army, the army of the only democ-
racy in the Middle East and her
only warranty for continued exis-
tence. And that army cannot sur-
vive if political extremists, whether
from the left or the right, can sub-
stitute their commands for those of
the elected government. That
would lead to anarchy.
