TEXAS JEWISH POST NEW YEAR’S ISSUE THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15,1977 POSTORIAL PAGE 4
fOSTORIAL
Time For Recommitment
Yom Kippur has always been the most solemn day in the
Jewish calendar, even for non-observant Jews. Since
1973 the Day of Atonement has taken on even more
meaning for it was on this religious holiday that Arab
nations decided to attack Israel.
The State of Israel emerged victorious from the Yom
Kippur War but the cost was heavy especially in the large
number of lives lost. Israel today is stronger militarily
than it was before the 1973 war. The people of Israel
were said to have lost their self confidence after the war
but it has been regained even though the difficulties
laced by the Jewish State at home and abroad are many.
Probably the most important result of the Yom Kippur
War is that the people of Israel found that their only real
ally is the Jewish people. The Sabra - the native-born
Israeli - for the first time felt a unity with Jews
everywhere.
For Jews in the United States as in other diaspora
countries the Yom Kippur War had a major traumatic
effect. American Jews faced the real fear that Israel
be destroyed and vowed they would do everything in
their power to prevent this from happening. This was
displayed both economically by contributions to the
United Jewish Appeal and the purchase of Israel Bonds
and politically by pressure un Washington.
This traumatic feeling has remained with American
Jewry. It has united as never before in support of Israel.
It has stressed, as the Israelis have stressed, that
diaspora Jewry and Israel must maintain a partnership
working together for the benefit of the Jewish people in
Israel and elsewhere.
This sense of purpose will be tested even more in the
year ahead. Premier Menahem Begin has called on
diaspora Jewry to increase their gifts to UJA and
purchases of Israel Bonds in order to help eradicate
poverty in Israel as part of the observance of Israel's
30th anniversary. This is an imperative goal.
Equally important is that the political skills of American
Jews will be called upon as the next few weeks bring
•bout an intensification of diplomatic efforts in the
Middle East. The American Jewish community is of
course not part of the negotiating team for a Mideast
peace settlement. But it can see to it that Washington
does not put undue pressure on Israel to accept a
settlement that endangers Israel's security.
The 1973 Yom Kippur War demonstrated that
American Jewry will not allow Israel to be destroyed.
This Yom Kippur we renew that pledge.

REPRESENTING
SbteihtttlLfeOf t
Dutch Receive
PLO Reps
Unofficially
BY HENRIETTE BOAS
AMSTERDAM [JTA] -
Two representatives of the
Palestine Liberation Organ-
ization were received un-
officially by members of the
Dutch Parliament’s foreign
affairs committee. Ezzedine
Kalag and Naim Khader,
heads of the PLO’s Paris
and Brussels offices, respec-
tively, met with individual
members of the committee.
They were not received by
Foreign Minister Max Van
Der Stoel.
A Ministry spokesman
said that officially there are
no contacts between Dutch
diplomats and the PLO nor
is there any question of
negotiations with the Pales-
tinians. Major Jewish or-
ganizations in the Nether-
lands protested to Parlia-
ment against the foreign
affairs committee’s contact
with the PLO men. The
protest was submitted to
committee Chairman Pieter
Dankert by representatives
of the Ashkenazic, Sephar-f
die and Liberal congrega-
tions and The Netherlands
Zionist Federation.

East-West Conference
WASHINGTON [JTA] -
President Carter’s inten-
tion to nominate Arthur J.
Goldberg as chairman of
the American delegation to
the East-West conference
in Belgrade scheduled for
Oct. 4-Dec. 22 was received
warmly at the Capitol. The
White House announced
the President’s intention
and Goldberg disclosed that
he had accepted the ap-
pointment.
At the office of Rep. Dante
Fascell (D.Fla.), it was
revealed that Goldberg had
been in communication with
Fascell about the appoint-
ment and Fascell was
delighted to know Goldberg
would head the delegation.
Fascell is chairman of the
U.S. Commission on Secur-
ity and Cooperation in
Europe, a 15-member body
that has responsibility for
monitoring the Helsinki Act
signed by 35 nations,

They said that even Newberger was a former

organization. They consider pian of the Jewish Commun-
it unacceptable that Dutch ity Center Capital Funds
members of Parliament
should have any contact
with an organization that,
according to its charter,
aims at the destruction of
Israel. Members of the
committee, however, are
apparently interested in

Euro-Israel dialogue on the

Israeli officials noted that
the Cairo conference point-
ed out the differences
between Egypt and Syria
with Egypt seeking more
moderate platforms. In

ment on Saudi Arabia’s

was the comment of Sen.
Clifford Case (R.NJ), also a
Commission member, who
said he could not think of a
better choice and that he
was pleased the President
had named Goldberg be-
cause the issues involved

rights of all peoples.
