JERUSALEM (JTA) — The care-taker Cabinet was considering a major territorial

In not doing so, the Security Council has given carte blanche to the terrorists
to commit ongoing aggressions against peace-loving individual citizens.
Moreover, the UN is helping to spread a climate of violence over the world that
will come back to haunt its chambers.
Why shouldn’t we engage in killings, kidnappings and other acts of violence
the terrorists may conclude if the main world organization dedicated to keeping
peace is unopposed to such actions ? Thus one sees kidnappings in South
America, the United States and other areas of the world. The adventures of
Patty Hearst and the Symbionese Liberation Army are only a part of the result
of this new climate of toleration and silent approbation that emanates from the
halls of the UN.
It is sad that Israel has to bear the brunt of the criticism. But it is not the first
time, as we have mentioned previously, nor will it be the last, that Israel is
condemned for defending its rights to remain secure, viable and independent as
a nation.
The United States, in going along with the resolve of the UN, has committed a
Bjrave sin of participating in a kangaroo •►type of justice in order to preserve and
court a sense of newly won friendship with the Arab world.

Sadat Warning: More War
If Israel Refuses To Vacate
Areas Occupied After 7
Herman L. Weisman, president of the 110,000 member Zionist Organization of
America, expressed his profound “disappointment at the failure of the United
States to veto the Security Council resolution condemning Israel. We have long
recognized that for most other nations the U.N. has become nothing more than a
forum for the ruthless pursuit of short-sighted considerations in total disregard
of principles of justice and morality. We are dismayed that the United States
failed to act differently on this occasion.”
“American acquiescence to the resolution in the aftermath of the barbaric act
of Arab terror at Kiryat Shemona, both permitted and applauded by the Arab
States, threatens to undermine Dr. Kissinger’s peace making efforts. America’s
vote for the resolution will only encourage further Arab terrorism and plant
seeds of distrust about the ability of the U.S. to act resolutely for a just and
durable peace in the Middle East.” WASHINGTON,(JTA) - President Anwar Sadat of Egypt said today that he would go to

strategy and is Israel being utilized in that strategy?
We don’t know. We do know that Israel has always been quartered and drawn
at the UN and she understands just how many friends she has in those
chambers.
We know also that measuring the United States’ new detente now, with its
subsequent approval of the condemnation resolution throws new light on the
relationship between the US and Israel.
Meanwhile President Sadat is bubbling with joy and constantly refers to Dr.
Kissinger as “a miracle worker.”
Casualties Mount
In Continuing Battle
For Hermon Heights
It’s Henry this and Henry that-lovingly and longingly he spreads the accolades
for Henry while he promises the world that if Israel does not disengage itself and
acquiesce to Syrian demands, the former may soon see Egypt join the latter with
another fiercer round of bloodshed to bring Arab might to bear upon America’s
only real friend in the Middle East.
And more and more Israel may be getting the feeling that although she walks
tall, she walks alone.
TEL AVIV, (JTA) - Air
and ground action continued
in the Mt. Hermon area after
Israeli forces suffered their
worst single day casualties
Sunday since the Yom Kippur
War. A direct hit scored by
Syrian gunners killed eight
Israeli soldiers and wounded
seven as they alighted from
armored vehicles near the
summit of Mt. Hermon. A
medical rescue helicopter sent
in to evacuate the wounded
crashed, killing all six men
aboard. A second helicopter
landed safely and removed
the wounded to Rambam
Hospital in Haifa.
The victims of Sunday’s
shell burst and helicopter
crash were identified as Maj.

doctor of Tel Hashomer; Capt.
