| jess jawin 'Palestinian' Claims
Crown Prince Saud, of the Saudi Arabian Royal Family, spoke to CBS’
United Nations and world affairs correspondent Richard C. Hottelet this
week. The interview was aired on its Wednesday “Morning” newscast.
Saud said all Israel had to do was return all the land the “Palestinians”
■ claim belongs to them and then the Arab world will consider recognizing
■ Israel’s right to exist. He never mentioned that the real “Palestinians” in
the truer sense of the word are the Israelis. Few people remember that
“Palestine was always considered the Holy Land, the spiritual heart and
homeland of the Jewish people. That’s where their roots began and they
remained there, nurtured the land of milk and honey and built a civilization
for thousands of years.
D The dispersion came as a result of huge invading forces who pilloried
■ and persecuted the Jews. Finally the Moslems took control and in modern
history ruled the land until the end of World War I.
Nor did Saud mention a larger factor in the contribution toward the Allied
victory. Chaim Weizman was mainly responsible for perfecting the
utilization of dynamite and made it possible to turn the tide of the Central
^ Powers onslaught thus saving the British Empire from demise. As a reward,
• Weizman, who later became Israel’s first president, was asked what honor
J»he would prefer for the miraculous feat he performed. He declined all
honors. “Just a homeland for my people,” was his answer.
As a consequence we had the British support of the Balfour Declaration
which committed His Majesty’s Government to the full support of the
national homeland for Jews in the Holy Land. Jews had been buying land
■ from absentee land owners for over a quarter century at the time but they
■ needed a national identity to rid themselves of the scapegoat role. They
*needed a place in the sun, a country that would say once and for all: “These
are my people. You will not kill them at random, you will not villify them,
you will not persecute them. They are “nationals” of the Jewish homeland.
That is one of the main reasons political identity is important. A nation

1 Jewish Leaders Warn Waldheim:
Growing Disenchantment With UN
I
UNITED NATIONS
[JTA] In a two-hour meeting
with Secretary General
Kurt Waldheim and his top
advisors, a Conference of
Presidents of Major Ameri-
can Jewish Organizations
delegation warned that
^“growing disenchantment”
■with the apparent anti-Israel
■bias of the United Nations
could result in a major
change in relations between
the United States and the
UN.
Lilian
■Coni
Howard Squadron, chair-
of the Presidents
onfcrence, said one strong
possibility was a sharp cut in
U.S. funding of the interna-
tional body. Currently,
Washington provides about
one-fourth of the UN’s
budget.
Squadron described the
meeting as “cordial but quite
candid,” adding: “Secretary-
General Waldheim conceded
that the general perception
of the United Nations was
not to his liking but rejected
the charge that he personal-
ly was anti-IsraeL
“Indeed, Dr. Waldheim
insisted with some passion
INDEX
that he was deeply commit-
ted to the integrity of Israel
with secure and recognized
borders; to the cause of
Arab-Israel peace and to the
application of UN Security
Council Resolution 242 as
the appropriate method of
achieving that peace.”

The U.S. and Israel:
Mid East Top Priority
For Reagan Is Israel
And Mid East Peace
WASHINGTON [JTA] -
President Reagan said that
America’s “number one ...
moral commitment” in the
Middle East is “to see that
the State of Israel has a
right to continue living as a
nation” and that he also feels
“that morally, the United
States should do everything
it can in an even-handed
manner, to bring peace to
the Middle East.” But he
emphasized that the process
“starts with the acceptance
of Israel as a nation” by
those countries which refuse
to recognize it.
Reagan, in the first of a
series of informal news
conferences with selected
reporters in the Oval Office,
also reiterated his belief that
Israel’s military capabilities
are “of benefit” to the U.S.
in the region and his
disagreement with the Car-
ter Administration’s conten-
tion that Israeli settlements
on the West Bank are
“illegal.” However, he criti-
cized Israel’s current settle-
ment moves as “ill advised”
and “unnecessarily provoca-
tive.”
Reagan, responding to
questions by reporters from
The New York Times, the
Wall Street Journal, Chris-
tian Science Monitor, Chi-
cago Tribune and Time
magazine, made his most
comprehensive comments on
the Middle East since his
election last November.
With respect to the
strategic security of the
region, he maintained that
the U.S. should establish a
“ground presence” there
“for the Soviets to know that
if they made a reckless
move, they would be risking
a confrontation with the
United States.”

Israel

Weinberger Favors
U.S. Troops For Israel
BY JOSEPH POLAKOFF
WASHINGTON [JTA] -
Defense Secretary Casper
Weinberger was represent-
ed by Pentagon sources as
favoring the stationing of
U.S. troops in Israel if Israel
made such a request but
that in the event of such a
request, he is thinking in
terms of a short-term
mission, not a permanent
force at a base.
Weinberger’s thinking,
these sources made known,
is that a U.S. force in Israel
would be similar to the
training mission of U.S.
personnel in Egypt last
November.
An “official source” was
being credited here with
saying that Weinberger is
“interested in putting troops
wherever they’ll let us go in
on a short term basis like
what we did in Egypt” but
that he is not thinking of a
“worst case” situation such
as a Middle East war.
At the Pentagon, the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency
was told by a spokesman
that Weinberger’s press
conference remarks were in
response to questions by
reporters on a “totally
theoretical situation” and
that “there is no other
significance to read into it.”
The spokesman conceded
that the placement of U.S.
troops was “possible” but
stressed that such a possibil-
ity “is not directed toward a
specific event.”
At his Pentagon press
conference, Weinberger
spoke in response to ques-
tions in the context of a
discussion of the use of
American troops in world
trouble spots. He said that if
Israel made a request for
U.S. forces, “We would
certainly view if very
sympathetically and very
carefully, but its the first
time the suggestion has
been made and I am
responding to the question.”
He also said that he
cannot “conceive of a situa-
tion where such a request
would be very seriously
made” by Israel. He said “I
don’t envision anything”
whether short term as in
Egypt or on a permanent
basis to which the reporter’s
question had referred. Wein-
berger emphasized that he
was “not setting new policy”
by his remarks.
Not Aware Of A Jihad
By Saudis
In another Middle East
related matter at his press
conference, the Defense
Secretary appeared to draw
a distinction between Saudi
Arabia and the Islamic
summit conference held in
that country at which a call
was issued for a “jihad”
[holy war] against Israel.
In the context of a
question as to whether the
U.S. would approve Saudi
Arabia’s request for enhanc-
ed combat capacity for the
60 F-15 warplanes it has
purchased from the U.S.,
Weinberger said he was “not
aware of a jihad” being
declared by the government
of Saudi Arabia. He said the
U.S. decision on the Saudi
request would be “very
carefully” examined. He
seemed to indicate however
that he approved the addi-
tional fuel tanks and bomb
racks for the Saudi F-15s.
Meanwhile, the State De-
partment indicated that it
has set up a policy of not
publicly discussing whether
war material is going either
to Iraq or Iran from outside
sources. State Department
spokesman William Dyess
declined to comment at his
briefing on a report that
Saudi Arabia allowed the
transmittal to Iraq of a
substantial number of new
Soviet-made tanks from
East European countries.
