Meir Wins Vote of Confidence On Interview Aboyt Territories

Scripture-—Ecumenical Style

THE JEWISH

Page TITO

(Jerusalem, (JTA) — Premier Gold Meir won an overwhelming vote of confidence from her Cabinet colleagues over an interview p u b l i s h e d in the Times of London in which she stated specifically what Arab territories Israel i n t e n d s to keep and what it was prepared to return in exchange for a peace settlement. Even the National Religious Party ministers who were initially critical of Mrs. Meir's assertion that Israel, was prepared to give up most of the West Bank, retreated. Anticipating ( "questions" at the Cabinet session, Mrs. Meir distributed m i m e o g r a p h e d transcripts of the interview she gave Times correspondent Louis Heren. In it she was adamant on Israel's permanent retention of East Jerusalem, the Golan Heights, the Gaza Strip and the Sharm el-Sheikh strongpoint. She stressed that Israel must maintain a continued presence OIL the West Bank so that Arab forces can never again come within artillery range of Lydda Airport and Tel Aviv. But she stated specifically: that Israel did not want to keep the Samaria and Judea regions because it does not want to/absorb its 600,000 Arab Inhabitants. Most effusive in p r a i s i n g Mrs. Meir today were Deputy Premier Yigal Allon, Finance Minister Pinhas S a p i r , and Minister-Without-Portfolio Israel Galili, all of them members of her "inner circle." She

also received congratulations from Tourist Minister Moshe Kol, Health Minister V i c t o r Shemtov, and Absorption Minister Nathan Peled. Other ministers either offered congratulations or refrained from comment. Serious political trouble loomed from the o p p o s i tion camp where the Gahal Knesset faction filed a motion of noconfidence in the government over the statements made by Mrs. Meir in the Times interview. Gahal, comprised of the militant nationalist Herut faction and the Liberal Party, insists that Israel make no territorial concessions. Joseph Sapir, leader of the Gahal Liberal faction called Mrs. Meir's remarks a "grave matter." He accused her of doing what she had explicitly promised not to do until peace

negotiations were at a more a d v a n c e d stage—draw a map." Mrs. Meir's aides claimed she had drawn no maps in the strictest sense of the,word but had merely outlined one of several alternative plans that could serve as a basis for negotiations. They insisted that she said nothing that has not been stated by government officials before. But most observers acknowledged that Mrs. Meir introduced a new concept when she proposed a mixed f o r c e to guarantee the demilitarization of the Sinai peninsula in which 'Israeli troops would participate and Egyptians could also be included. The participation of Israeli and Egyptian troops in a mixed peace-keeping force has never been suggested publicly before.

Jewish Leaders Mourn Death of Whitney Young New York (JTA)—American Jewish leaders expressed sorrow over the untimely death of Whitney M. Young, Jr., executive director of the National Urban League, who died of a heart attack at Lagos, Nigeria last Thursday at the age of 49. The prominent American civil rights leader, a major voice for moderation at a time of increasing Black militancy, was a long-standing friend of Israel. Last June, Young joined other prominent Black Americans in an appeal for United States support of Israel. He and 61 others signed a declaration urging the administration to provide Israel with the weapons it needed for defense. The appeal observed that Israel "with its impressive program of. foreign technical aid, has contributed far more than any of its Arab enemies to the development of t black .African nations." The American Jewish Congress said: "We join the Black community and our f e l l o w Americans of all races and religions in mourning the death

of a great national leader of his people and of the American struggle for equal rights and human dignity." Rabbi Maurice N. Eisendrath, president of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations said, "The sudden passing of Whitney M. Young Jr., has taken from us one of America's most dedicated fighters and articulate spokesmen in the cause of human justice."

How "They Taught If e I Was a Jew 1

By Alia Ruslnek Editor's Note: Alia Rusinek left the Soviet Union in November for Israel. She is presently Visiting in the United States. The following article is reprinted from The New York Tunes, ' March 4, 1971. • • • -'if.'. ' You ask me how I came to the idea of leaving the Soviet Union and going to Israel. I think . that though I heard about Israel only four years ago my whole life was the way to it. You can see it yourself. I was born in Moscow in 1949 and was the most typical Soviet girl. I studied well, was a young Pioneer-Leninist. My classmates thought me very ambitious. But they were wrong. My family was very poor. Mother brought us up, two daughters, without a father and having a very low salary. We never had new clothes. I never thought about our poverty. I was sure that everybody lived this way, at least the families of engineers, because my mother was an engineer. • ••-. I gave all my time to my school, my Pioneer organization and later the Young Communist League—the Komsomol. I worked hard. ' And I was happy coming home late after school. According to Communist ideals "the individual must sacrifice his own personal interests for that of the socialist society at large." And I loved my country, my Soviet people. • My? Yes, I thought it was mine. But there was something that made me different from other people. I happened to be born a Jew. I ." don't know what it meant but it was written in my Identity card: yevreika. My Russian class.mates insulted each other with this word. I saw it written jn chalk on the walls of the houses.

It was written very distinctly in my identity card and legalized by a round seal of the government. At the beginning of every school year the teacher asked everybody: "Your name and nationality." I answered in whispers. little by little I began to understand what it meant to be Jewish. In 19611 was not admitted to a special English high school. In 19G6Myas not admitted to the Institute of forMj^jimguages. I thought it was my p e r s o n a l i s e and couldnt understand why the exanawfr, looking at my identity card, said that I didn't speak good Russian. Well, in other words I understood at last. They don't want me, Tarn a .stranger, this is not my country. But where is a place for me? I began to be proud of being Jewish. When I heard about Israel in 1967, about "an aggressive capitalist state, an agent of U.S. imperialism in the Middle East," I didn't fail to understand it was my home, my,people, defending then: young state. I understood that to be Jewish meant to belong to the Jewish nation with its history, culture, religion. I began to study Hebrew. In some old books I learned the first facts about Jewish history: the Maccabees, the Warsaw ghetto. For the first time in my life I went to the synagogue, the only synagogue in Moscow, where I saw thousands of people who looked like me and ' thought like me. We sang Jewish songs, we danced Israeli dances. It was wonderful but it was dangerous. Secret police entered my life. I was expelled from the Komsomol, then I lost my job. They followed me, they searched me, they called me in for "frank talks" and threatened me. What did I think then about Communism? I didn't think. I was tired and frightened.

Poll Places Dayan First LIKED COLUMN I always read the Sidelines column first when I receive the Jewish Press, and I am never disappointed. I love your writing style and the variety of subjects covered in the column both the serious and the light. ' Last week's column presents ' tne with a problem. On the one hand, I agree with the Albany . rabbi. The Jewish people could use another.Gerelick like you. On the other hand, adding to your family could take you away from the Jewish Press, and many of us would miss ybur column. ; • What do you plan on doing? Mrs. R. Cohn ' Editor's note: Those in power may have different ideas, but at this moment, I have no plans to leave the Jewish P r e s s particularly for the maternity ward.' (Amen.) ' ^ r»'"

PANDORA'S BOX Not so long ago Science and Technology were' considered - as unmixed blessings and the word Ecology was known to , very few people; but now many of us have suddenly discovered that Industrial Civilization is like a Pandora's Box with as many curses as blessings. It Is beginning to look as if , garbage, chemical pollutants

For two years I applied for an exit visa and was refused. I applied alone. Mother had died after eight years of dreadful disease. •• , I was not alone In this struggle. There wera thousands of us in Russia, who came to the synagogue to sing. And among them was one, : the most handsome boy in the Soviet Union at least. A year after we met at a Chanukah party we married. We were in a hurry, any of us could be arrested then in the summer of 1970. Most of our friends were arrested then in Leningrad and Riga. We didn't want to loss each other. • ' ' • ' . A week after our marriage I was informed that I had to leave the country within six days and alone. Please, don't ask me what I felt. I don't remember. Perhaps I kas in deep shock, No, I ' didn't cry. His family paid for me the sum tha Soviets demanded for "renunciation of Soviet citizenship"—800 rubles (nearly $1,000). I never ¥ thought I owned such an expensive thing ot I L would have sold it and bought something nice. AH these months 1 have hoped they would fallow him to join me. We are husband and wife. One family. But he has not been allowed to leave.-

. • , • • • •

You ask me what I think about Israel now that I live there. It Is difficult to answer this question. It's the same as if you asked me what I thought about myself. I can't praise myself. Israel is me and I am Israel. • P.S. I have just learned today (Wednesday) - after my article was written that my husband has been granted permission to leave the Soy* let Union and join me in Israel. I wish to express my thanks to everyone who has helped, and particularly to the American people. ,.

Tel Aviv, (JTA)—The latest public opinion poll showed Defense Minister Moshe Dayan to be the first choice of Israelis to succeed Golda Meir as Premier. Dayan was chosen by 35 per cent of the respondents while his1 closest rival, Deputy Premier Yigal Allon, was supported by 18 per cent. 30 per cent of those polled indicated no preferred candidate.
