Palestinian Paradox
The paradox of the Palestine Liberation Organization’s argument lies in the
fact that “Palestine” was long considered as the “homeland” of the Jewish
people.
There was great logic to this. Jews had been persecuted for thousands of
rears. When one of the world’s leading scientists, Dr. Chaim Weizmann
"escued the British from defeat, Weizmann was offered the highest honors for
his stupendous efforts which led to an allied victory.
All Weizmann asked for was a “homeland” for the Jewish people in
Palestine, the land of their forefathers.
Weizmann was promised this. The Balfour Declaration of the English
Government documented Britain’s intent on Nov. 2, 1917.
Within a few years, however, Winston Churchill, chopped a piece of
Palestine from the mandate Britain was governing and presented it as a
Trans-Jordanian gift to the King of Jordan. This was land that could have
been used by the Palestinian Arabs.
Since then Jordan has done everything within its power to make certain the
’alestinians do not gain a foothold on this or any other Jordanian territory.
Jordan wiped out Palestinian Liberation Organization opposition and drove
them into Lebanon rather than settle them within the confines of Jordan.
Since then the PLO has caused havoc in Lebanon. They have tried to take
jver Lebanon, but have failed because Syria killed large numbers of PLO
>rces and Israel backed the Christian militia to prevent a PLO victory.
However, Arab governments goaded by the PLO now call for the
^ settlement of huge forces of PLO terrorists on Israeli occupied land.

Jihan Sadat and Maha
Sadat, the Sadats’ oldest
daughter; and a pleasant
late summer climate. It was
small wonder, therefore,
that Sadat’s optimism struck
the Israelis as well.
The practical aspect of
Sadat’s optimism was his
conviction that Jordan, and
perhaps other Arab states,
would join the peace process
before the end of the year.
On the bilateral plane, the
most important achievement
was the agreement to set up
joint Israeli-Egyptian pa-
trols to supervise the Sinai
withdrawal. The problem of
a suitable multi-national
force was created when the
Soviet Union, in the United
Nations Security Council,
eeting: a comfortable hotel, refused to go along with
ihe midst of greenery, extending the mandate of
overlooking the magnificent the UN Emergency Force
view of the bay of Haifa; the followed up by Washington's
warm welcome of Haifa failure to step into the
residents; the charm of breach. Now Sadat and

Begin have taken the bull by
its horns, thereby serving
notice on the super-powers
that things can happen at
this part of the world
without their agreement.
Israel’s main gain in the
talks was the Egyptian
promise to provide Israel
with sufficient oil after the
withdrawal from the oil
fields — although the ques-
tion of price has still to be
resolved. Israel agreed for
an early withdrawal from
Santa Katerina, but it was
agreed that Israelis could go
on visiting the area, and the
field school operated by the
Israel Nature Protection
Society would continue to
operate.
The Debit Side
On the debit side, the gap
on Jerusalem is as wide as

High Holy Days

Shalom between Egypt and Israel has
become ideality as world Jewry prepares
to celebrate the New Year 5740 which
starts next Friday at sundown.
Peace between the two nations has been
reenforced by President Anwar el-Sadat’s
decision to stand with Israel on the
three-year interim period for the West
Bank’s determination of autonomy.
Coupled with this is Sadat’s prediction
that King Hussein of Jordan will join th«
peace movement within the near future.
Meanwhile Yasir Arafat has been
meeting with Arab and other non-aligned
nations at the conference just concluded in
Cuba. Arafat’s position is still pledged
toward the destruction of Israel according
to the Palestine Liberation Organization’s
charter. Continued On Page 6
