Only Way to Restore Order
Once slaves, Jews abhor slavery.

Always peace-loving, war is repugnant to them. For centuries Jews existed
under one dictatorship after another, knowing that a certin number of their
co-religionists could fall victim to the whim of a despot.
Our history is filled with episodes. Why have we been wandering? Simple.

In some countries, notably Russia, when the ordinary Russian was
impressed into military service by the Czars for four or five years, Jews were
made to serve fdr 20 or 30 and most times attempts were made to convert
them and they were told they had to accept if they ever wanted to gain their
release from servitude.
When we compare last Passover with this year we can total a barrage of
propaganda, financed by Arab petrodollars against Jews. The United Nations

WASHINGTON (JTA) -
King Hussein of Jordan
declared April 1 that Syrian
military intervention in
Lebanon was the only
“feasible” means to “restore
law and order” in that
country and accused Israel
of blocking such a move. He
warned that “U Israel moves
forces into Lebanon to
counter Syrian intervention,
it will lead to an eruption in
the entire area and perhaps
cause a general war” which
“would be disastrous for all
concerned.”
The Jordanian ruler re-
jected a proposal by Egyp-
tian President Anwar Sadat
several days ago that a
multi-national force of Arab
countries intervene to end
Lebanon’s civil strife and
insisted that the “Syrians
are the ones best able to
help halt the disaster that
has beset Lebanon because
of their objectives and the
trust they have in Lebanon.”
Hussein made his remarks
to a group of leading
American newspaper colum-
nists and commentators and
other media representatives
invited to a special breakfast
press conference at Blair
House where the King and
Queen Alia are staying
during their official visit to
Washington. Hussein is
known to have made the
same points with respect to
Lebanon in his talks here
with President Ford and
Secretary Henry A. Kissin-
ger and with leaders of both
houses of Congress.
He intimated as much when
he told the gathering at
Blair House that “We have
brought the facts to the
attention of Washington and
I believe Washington has

parently a reference to
President Ford’s dispatch of

Brown to Lebanon March 30
as a special envoy to
examine the situation there.

of the Middle East Institute
of Washington.

call for Syrian intervention

Jews Prepare for Passover
Amidst Concerns for Israel
Holiday Begins Wed. at Sundown
As Jews prepare to celebrate the Passover holidays, which start this year next
Wednesday at Sundown, the greatest area of concern to them, the land of Israel is still
under pressure from the United States. The Soviet Union is preparing to make even
greater penetrations into the Middle East by utilizing the Syrians as a cover operation for
their intentions.
Jews, abhorent to war, have to spend most of their Gross National Product for defense
in a nation whose population is taxed more than 60 percent directly besides a host of
indirect taxes and levies made upon them.
Yet in perfect tradition,
Jews are concerned with
educating their children,
healing the sick, providing
homes for the needy.
Moreover, the task of
rescue and rehabilitation is
still foremost in the minds of
Israelis as well as their
co-religionists elsewhere in
the world.
Thus, when Jews gather
for the first seder service
and ask, “Mah Nishtana,
Halila Hazeh?” Why should
this night be different than
all other nights and when
the answer of deliverance
from bondage is given
through the recitation of the
Haggadah - the story of the
Exodus - one can easily
understand the importance
of Passover.
We always have to fight for
our freedoms. Perhaps that
is why freedom is so
precious to us.
We teach this story to our
children with the high hope
and the injunction to them
that they will teach it to
their children and their
children’s children.
