Black Panther Party Seen as Anti-Semitic Power-Seekers
k
New York—The immediate aim of the Black Panther party is to stimulate a wave of "real repression" in the United States as a prelude to revolutionary war, according to an article by Tom Milstein in the September Issue of .Commentary magazine. Tilled "A Perspective on the Panthers," the article cites statements by Eldridge Cleaver, the Panther Minister of Information, to the effect that "black extremism" can lay , the groundwork for revolution by helping to destroy "bourgeois democracy" and produce a right-wing dictatorship. Mr. Milstein finds in the relationship between the Panthers and 'the ultra-conservatives a "depressingly familiar pattern." "The right wing's hysterical attacks," he. declares, "have _the effect of legitimating the most. undemocratic, unrepresentative and extreme elements of the Left: those elements return" the favor by engaging in the kinds of violent rhetoric BRANDEIS U.

Temple Meet: Why Did They Come? (Continued from Page 1) plane sat at the Beirut airport for about 214 hours, and it was then that the dynamite was brought onto the plane, the explosives filling three seats in the first class section. "Apparently something went wrong with what was "planned J o take place in Beirut, and so we took off again for Cairo, Egypt. About 2'/4 minutes after we evacuated the plane in Cairo, the $24 million jet went up in flames." Miss Trustin commented on the remarkable behavior of the passengers. "There was no hysteria. Somehow, everyone managed to stay calm. ."...;.:_..: It was hard for Miss Trustin to describe her feelings during the ordeal. "I wasn't really scared until I got back to New York and realized how dangerous the situation might have been." The experience has not soured Miss Trustin on her job, although she is not anxious to repeat the experience. She will leave Omaha this weekend to return to her_duties,and is looking forward to "a nice peaceful run to San Juan." Mr. and Mrs. Trustirj were alerted" by Pan Am early Sunday morning that their daughter had been aboard the hi- • jacked plane, but were assured of her safety. They received a cablegram in tho afternoon sent by Bonnie from Rome. Some 12 hours later they spoko with their daughter .when she arrived in New York. Said Mrs. Trustin, "We're grateful that it's all over, and that Bonnie Is safe and home." Newman Prefers El Al In his opening remarks, Nick Newman commented on the feeling of security one gets flying El Al. "I knew there were security people aboard, and I liked the idea of them being there," he said. The aborted

Guest Editorial Only the most uninformed can have been surprised by the' latest aerial hijacking and by the ordeals of the unfortunates on the three planes seized by Arab terrorists.. The fanatical commando group involved was earlier responsible for many similar outrages. Seven weeks ago these criminals demonstrated the political profitibility of hijacking by extorting a promise from . the Greek Government to release their jailed confederates. Buoyed by past successes, the Arab gunmen had every reason to suppose aerial blackmail would work against other states. Their judgment appears to have been sound. This outcome can only "encourage more acts of piracy by political zealots in every part of the world. t/ The latest developments raise questions about the assumption that supine surrender to a hijacker is the best way to assure plane passengers' safety. As matters worked out, it was the passengers on the El AI plane, whose crew wafis prepared to fight back and did so, that fared best. Nonresistance made sense when it could be assumed that a hijacked plane would be brought to some airport governed by international law, and then quickly allowedlQjdepart with its crew and its passengers. But that was ' not the scenafirfollowed by the Waekfnailerrwlio"xapturetl the Pan American, TWA and Swissair aircraft. The complete failure of the major airlines to deal with the threat of hijacking is matched only by the Impotence of the United States Government in protecting its planes and its citizens. Coming so soon after the Egyptian display of contempt for this country implicit In Cairo's wholesale* violation of the standstill provisions of the Middle East cease-fire, the latest incidents must further convince Arab militants that the United States ls% paper tiger. And the Israelis will naturally further question the worth of the promises of a country that is unable even to protect its own citizens and planes. The crux of the problem posed by the Arab hijackings is that the terrorists involved are financed, armed and supported—openly or covertly—by the Arab states. Last July the hijackers of a Greek plane were received as heroes in Cairo. Last Sunday the hijacked Pan American 747 stopped in Beirut to take a commando explosives expert on board so that he could prepare the plane's destruction at Cairo. Yet no action has been taken to apply sanctions. ' It is long past time for the airlines and governments of the world to declare a boycott of the Arab states, to refuse to let Arab planes land elsewhere In the world and to refuse to fly nonArab planes to those countries until the hijackers have been made outlaws in the Arab lands. The failure to take such sanctions in* the past has spurred the Arab terrorist campaign against peaceful air travel. Failure to impose sanctions now will mean that the major governments and airlines of the world are de facto accomplices of the fanatics who have endangered so many thousands of people In recent days and who intend to continue their potentially murderous crimes. —N.

The Jewish Quiz Box QUESTION: What Is the Jewish tradition regarding suicide? ANSWER: The Jewish tradition considers suicide to be a -grave-sinJThe rabbis go as_far as saying.thatonejloes not eulo, gize a suicide.'The tradition is to bury a suicide near the fence of the.cemetery, thus, in a way, separating him from the other people in the cemetery. ., . . Some later rabbinic authorities Insisted that a real suicide . could only be one who was not in perfect command of his mental faculties; thus, there was a general tendency to consider all suicides as being mentally ill, and so not realty responsible for what they were'doing. . QUESTION: What Is meant by the term "Mldrash"? ~ ANSWER: ''Midrash" is the term used to denote a collection of statements of the Rabbis, sometimes legal, sometimes homiletical and narrative. Generally speaking, the term comes front a root meaning "to seek,"."to derive," or "to dig out."

By SAM LIPSKI . The epidemic of airplane hijackings by Palestinian guerrillas has shocked western democracies into the realization that they are dealing with a new kind of- warfare which, cannot be contained within lo•j cal boundaries. It poses some crucial dilemmas. Yet even this., realization is LlpskJ no g u a r a n t e e thatTlKese B6vernments~~will ~ a'ct to prevent the wider spread of the epidemic. As if doomed to repeat a historical cycle the United States and ethers are learning that when it comes to violating international law, cure is no substitute for prevention. The reports from Israel describe a bitterly cynical reaction there to the pious hypocrisies now being uttered in capitals from London to Washington. For the Israelis double s t a n d a r d s of international morality are nothing new—but the wringing of the hands and the admissions of powerlessness emanating from the West after the latest hijacking terrors are too. much even for them. , They recall that when Israeli airliners were attacked und hijacked, when passengers were killed and injured, when El Al offices were bombed, the warnings from Jerusalem that such terror set a dangerous
precedent went largely unheeded. When Arab governments were in no way discouraged from sheltering the Palestinian hijackers, when the Greek government gave in abjectly to demands for release of convicted murderers, even when an American TWA airliner was hijacked, neither governments, nor airlines, nor pilot associations, nor public opinion could find the strength to act. ,Nqw there is frenzy. The UN Security Council is summoned.
Editor's Note: It has always been the policy of the Jewish press to send the paper, free of charge, to all Omahans in military service. We urge all readers to advise us of these addresses so that we may con?.' inue to provide this service.
But will there be any action? Even as women and children were held hostage in the Jordanian desert the spokesman for the United States State Department said: "We should be very reserved about that kind of boycott." He was referring to proposals for a civil aviation, boycott on those Arab coun-. tries which did not abide by international law. This is the essence of the problem. If the.

Sympathetic to Israel New York (JTA)—American attitudes toward the Middle East conflict are overwhelmingly sympathetic to Israel but sharply divided as to whether the United States should send troops to defend Israel if its existence was threatened by the Arabs with Soviet backing, according to the latest Louis Harris poll. The poll was described as an" in-depth survey of American attitudes toward the Middle East conflict. It is based on a survey of 1437 households, representing a national cross-section, made between Aug. 25 and Sept. 1, before the wave of Arab plane hijackings. When asked w h e r e their basic sympathies lay, 46 percent singled put Israel compared with only six percent who said the Arabs. But a sig^nifleant 25 percent reported no sympathies with either side and 23 percent were not able to make a judgment. Mr. Harris reported that proIsrael sentiment was strongest among people with college education and those in the higher income b r a c k e t s ; pro-Arab sentiment was highest among blacks. . Divided on Sending Troops The question of American intervention with troops was almost evenly divided. Told that "If it looked as though Israel were going to be taken over by the Russians and the "Arabs, the U.S. would have to do every thing. to save Israel, inciuding b bgoing b to war," 38 per-

cent agreed and 38_percent disagreed. Mr. Harris reported that interventionist sentiment on behalf of Israel ran strongest in rural areas and small towns centered in the South. By 73 to six percent, Americans .agreed to the claim that "Israel is a small courageous country which is trying to preserve Us independence." By contrast,. Americans disagreed 60-14 percent with the Arab claim that Israel is an intruder in the Middle East. Israel's claim that the Russians have moved their missiles and pilots into the Mideast with the intention of destroying Israel and dominating the area was given credence by a margin of 41-29; 36 percent of Americans shared Israel's distrust of United Nations and Big Power pledges while 40 percent thought such peace-keeping efforts would
and act against violations of the most basic international agreements what likelihood is (here that any government will do so? And clearly, if there is no disadvantage for Egypt or Lebanon or Jordan in sheltering the guerrillas the hijackings will continue. Tiie notion that the Arab governments liave no control over the extremist guerrilla groups is a fashionable one. But it is only partly true. The guerrillas depend on th'ose governments for sanctuary, encouragement and financial support. Certainly they are not completely d e p e n d e n t and some are desperate enough to act independently. Compelling the Arab governments to abide by international agreements or suffer the consequences would make a considerable difference. • • But even If such a boycott made little practical difference to the terror it would at least be an expression of moral condemnation and outrage—something the democracies have forgotten how to express. Even the most Indiscriminate Arab guerrillas are not Immune to international reaction. But it has to be something more than diplomatic niceties, or even UN resolutions.

to school for toe first time I'd come through with some tears. Again, I was a failure. The only thing I could find to cry about was that I didn't have the normal m a t e r n a l instincts that made me want to cry. I loved the whole idea of having all three children in school. Which makes me kind of abnormal, Iguess. It will be two years before my youngest hits the college trail which is supposed to bring the same.kind of tearful reaction that kindergarten did. We'll see.

That this is 'not an issue which is restricted to theiArabIsraeli conflict but has muefc wider ramifications for international relations Is slowly dawning upon others besides the Israelis. The "Washington Post" noted in an editorial: "Tlie Palestinian commandos are sick but clever.. . . This is where flabbiness on hlj a c t i n g gets you. In July, Cairo granted its hospitality to the Palestinian hijackers of a Greek plane and Washington let out not one peep, ostensibly on grounds'that no American .plane or passenger had. been.:, touched. So one cannot be entirely surprised that an American plane is now spirited to Cairo and blown up there." The United States and other governments are now paying the price of past refusal to accept Israeli warnings that tacit acceptance of internation- 'fy al terror against others is no protection. Today it is the Arab-Israeli conflict which has spawned the attacks on the vulnerable technologies of the west. . But unless there is decisive action even 'at this late stage, we are only at the beginnings of a new age .of international piracy.
By Mickey Gerelick "Listen," I told one friend, "it's going to be great. You'll get back your car, your bathroom and your telephone—so what's to cry?" I knew I hit some tender spots —she was responding. "Yeah," she agreed, "there'll be no more dirty dishes constantly appearing in the sink, no more shoes to trip over in the hall; no more hours of i r o n i n g; no more KOIL; that part is great, but what will I do with all this new free time?" Her v o i c e was trembling. I knew I had to work fast. "Listen," I told her, "there's lots of things you'll be able to do that you never had time for before. You could paint, or take up ballet, or clean the closets, or go into politics or talk to your husband." . "Talk to" my husband," she said. "About what?" sured her. "We'll makei ai list. A new subject for every night.

She was a cousin whose achievements were acknowledged by the wide, wide world. He was on friendly terms with of "Lil1 Albert"—"Albertl," as she called Mm in royalty and played duets with the Queen of the her comfortable Swabian dialect. She and her Belgians. He was awarded the Nobel Prize and Albertl had both been unhappy in their first received what in a way was equally significant, a marriages.

Elsa may have been shy and modest, but she knew how to handle Albertl. In one of her rare interviews, she said with a twinkle in her blue eyes: "He is UJke a child. You have to manage him.

San Francisco (JTA) — San Francisco had two kosher restaurants 15 years ago but has "iiune now and"raghr-Jnrs"h e r - i butcher shops in 1935 and two now, according to Rabbi Meyer F r a n k el, supervisor for the Board of Kashruth in the greater Bay area. He also said that _lhe_amount-flf meat andjMiultrybeing slaughtered for kosher consumption had dropped considerably in recent years, A spokesman for a slaughterIng firm said that in 1963, 100 cattle per week were koshered locally but only 30 are now koshered weekly. - Several customers at one of the two kosher butcher shops were asked why they shopped at a kosher butcher. The answer included, "tradition," the chickens "taste better," and "cleanliness." The report noted that several supermarkets carried frozen kosher chickens and that most major airlines and hotels did provide kosher meals but concluded that "the younger generation of Jews in the greater Bay area has drifted away ' from the tradition of keeping a .kosher home."

Changes Noted in Israeli Soldiers
THE COMING DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL (Reviewed by Gerold Frank) In light of the recent, swiftmoving events in tho Middle East, Myron S.' Kaufmatin's brief but Incisive, "The Coming Destruction of Israel" is a particularly informative — and frightening—study of the problem. The acceptance on August 7lh of the cease-fire by both Israel and the United Arab Republic only underlines its timeliness, •f Obviously, when Moscow and Cairo agree upon a course of procedure for Israel, friends of Israel must look askance: what actually lies behind this? What has the' Soviet really in mind, and why has Russia, who threw her vote behind the establishment of Israel (to the fury and despair of the Arab states) In recent years been so Intractably opposed to everything Israel has tried to do, even the I'^st elementary and undcrstani'sb'e la order simply to exist? The chess game is not a simple one. Mr- Kaufmann carefully and trenchantly analyzes the moves of the players, including the advice and strategy not only of the players, but of tho powers who are participantonlookers. He Is convinced that Russia today wants Israel destroyed: he asserts that It Is not true, as many have written/ that she needs Israel In order to keep stakes are far greater than Egypt, or any one country. Nasser, he maintains, is only
a pawn, to bo discarded, a* sooner or later most pawns are. What Russia seeks—what sh« lias always sought—Is "tha Arabian Peninsula and the Oil lands bordering' the Persian Gulf.". The road to this fabu« lous wealth and geographical power is blocked by Israel—a situation that did not always prevail. Thus, the Soviet alms to destroy Israel, and will do so "at soon as the United States will permit." Ho predicts that American Intervention will not occur; Is* rael will collapse into a truncated version of what she is; Saudi-Arabia will be swept by an Egyptian-backed revolution, Syria will overrun Lebanon, the United States will be shut out of the entire area, and as for what is left of Israel, ha asks, can a "humbled rump of Israel" live on "in a Soviet Middle East"? Mr. Kaufmann thinks this doomsday caii be stojsped~«nly" "by a strong Israel and a strong American fleet in tha Mediterranean." : It is a dismal picture, but it presents a warning well worth most serious study.
