It was one of the most paaskxiately debated Issues in the history of the State of Israel: It brought thousands bito the streets to demonstrate opposition and support: it sparked vtolent ciairiws between police and demonstrators at times: it split party ranks and In some cases brought dove and hawk down on the same side of the fence. Henry Kissinger had come and gone, an interim Sinai settlement tucked under his arm, and still the question was being hoUy discussed: did it bring the Middle East closer to peace or was It merely a stationontbewaytowar? The interim agreement provided for the further withdrawal of Israeli troops; (be establishment of a fairly broad buffer zone to be policed by UN troops with American technicians aiding In (he monitoring of troop RMvements; the evacuation by Israel of almost the entire length of the strategic Sinai passes and the Abu Rodels oilfields which provided Israel with 00 per .cent of her oil needs. In return, Egypt is understood to have agreed to a three-year duration (or the

agreement, to allow Israeli non-mllltary cargoes through the Canal and to reduce political and economic warfare Both sides agreed to resolve the Middle East conflict by peaceful means and to renounce the use of force. At tiw Inttlallliig ctranoiqr in Janiaalem, Pnmkr Rabin said: "WcbeUeratheeaiMof peace niedi to take riAa. And I bellere that by tbli 00 a road that ml^ be a kag oaebutthatwIQIeHltowbat an the people o( Uw ana want - a real peace betwesn ttie Arab oomtrlia and Iml." The Cabinet gave the proposal alAMSt unanimous approval with only one minister abstaining. A fairiy ckMC vote was expected in the Israel Parliament, (he' Knesset, but no one doubted that the Government would get an absolute majority. The main question being asked was bow the dissenters within Mr. Rabin's Labour Party would vote. The Prtme Minister got an overwhelming vote of confidence when the Party's Central Committee met before the Knesset debate. 370 voted for (be

agreement and only four against. But the four Included former Defence Minister Moshe Dayan. He argued that Israel had made concessions while the Arabs had retained the option to go to war. The Arab concession was being made only in terms of tline. The Americans were against deadlock. So was he (Dayan). But Israel had to know where the. Americans intended leading Israel In breaking the deadlock. For Israel could only see the first step of this process, at present. He was echoed in this view by several leftists in other parties, including Lyeva Eliav, a former member of Labour. Eliav felt convinced that the Government had no overall conception of Its ultimate goals. There could be phased withdrawals in return (or political concessions if from the the very start it was clear that territory would be given back only for a genuine peace.

The most vocal opposition came from the right-centre Likud bloc Likud leader Menahera Begin said be saw no reason to rejoice at the agreement. The state of war remained in (oree while Israel bad given up enormously important areas and oilfields. In return Israel had only received words about not using force, in a formula which was slightly stronger than the 1974 disengagement agreement and far weaker than that of the Armistice Agreement of 1949. Both Begin and another Likud leader, Shmuel Tamlr. warned that further pressure was not far off. In a radio interview Tamlr said: "Thiols not the only armtwisting we (ace. In a few months Israel will be told there must be ntore momentum or else." Israel was dependent on the United States and had lo be flexible. But a nation was entitled to be "obnoxious" about peace. In a signed article In the Labour Federation's Danr, Hanna Zemer. the paper's editor, attacked all the opponents of the agreement (or their lack of realism, naivete, and even hypocricy. The question was not whether il was a good agreement, she . said, but whether it was better than the alternatives. It WM tte lack of paittkal raaUm ot the dtanatlve wbidi had brai^ ilMiat the interim Mttlemeat. Its rtateit Klranti«B was that It was wMhhi the natan of Ike

posribie. Ilie (kawbacfc of aO other propoaab, even tf tiMse were more logical and snpWsHrated, was that thay eauUnotbetaBpinaied. Strong support for the Government came from the Left, spearheaded by Mj^tam, a memtwr of the alignment with Labour. In an editorial, Al HMWM—1' pointed out that ultimately the classified aspects o( the agreement would te made public, but even at this stage it was clear that this was an agreement of compromise, leaving neither victor nor vanquished It was an agreement giving expression to the relative strength o( (orces In the area, and their relation to the strength o( global (orces. Unless the viewer was prejudiced, a study of the agreement showed that the withdrawal was not endangering Israel's security. Moreover, the (irmer bond with the United SUtes would ensure the supply of weaponry and economic aid. In the Middle East everything was possible, and all options were still open. But those who went beyond paying lip-service had to make the maximum use of every chance in their striving (or peace. In Yedlot Aharonot, the paper's political analyst, Erel Ginay, fell it would be unfair to judge the agreement on Its published clauses. Several (undamental elements covering US-Israel relations and issues between Israel and Egypt had not been revealed. This, he said, included the US guarantee o( oil supplies to Israel, the Egyptian promise to renew the UN Mandate for three years and to reduce political and economic wartare and to keep the Bab el Mandeb straits at the gateway

to the Red Sea open. The independant Haanlx argued that analysis o( the (Irst two clauses of the agreement did indicate a political commitment on the part of Egypt. These, It pointed otrt. spoke of readiness to resolve the conflict by peaceful means and not to resort to force. Yet there were weaknesses. There was no clear mention of an Egyptian commitment to abide by the agreement for three years. This vagueness might be to the advantage of Egypt and America, but it did not accord with Israel's readiness to advance towards a settlement, and created a constant threat to the de facto: state of no-wai' mentioned in the opening paragraphs of the agreement. One important aspect was the unpublished "understandings" with the United States. Presumably this made up In some way (or the loss of oil and the passes. If Congress did endorse these understandings, the risk Israel was assuming would become less of a gamble than it appeared at present.

Acting on a reammmendatlon of the Commission on Social Action of Reform Judaism, a joint body of the UAHC and the Central Conference of American Rabbis, the board passed a resolutkm encouraging congregations, especially, to act on their own or In concert with local churches in welcoming and integrating re(ugees into the community. Rabbi Alexander M.

Press Support for American Presence in Sinai

Most major newspapers endorse <^pM Sinai pact and expect Congrttt to support il. But two objections are raised. One of these ii to liken the diipaich of 2(X) civilians to oiir intervention in Vict Nam. Moit editors perceive the basic difrerence. The Washington Star {Sept. i), however, it conspicuously dubious, demanding full disclosure of a host of questions on the subject. It is astonishing that al this time so few recall that we have had a force of American military men—36 at the moment—who have been cruising about the area u members of the United Nations Truce Supervinion Organization (UNTSO) ever since the UN General Assembly sent a mediator way hack in 1948. The Russians also have 36 (but Israel is off limits for them). UNTSO now reinforces UNEF and UNIX)F. ' The leoond objection has to do with the cost of the aid package, but many papers point put that this would be small compared "with the huge cost of another war and its economic repercussions. Mdreaskig tht Issues * Many major American newspapers have refuted both points of scepticism. The Se*' York Times (Sept. 7): The monetary cost wouM be "Relatively small" as compared with another war and a new oil irmbargo. The Times is alarmed by the "obstructionist sabotage" of the Soviet Union, which apparently would welcome a coup ifeiai to remove Presideni Sadat. The Wall Street Journal (Sept. 3): "Anyone who draws false analogies from experience is not really learning from history." The Christian Science Monitor (Sept. 3) uys that "all panics to the new Sinai accord deserve the world's thanks. ..." The Chicago Tribune (Aug. 27): "The potential risk from supplying these men and of providing (unds . . . seems far more tolerable than the risk of a collapse of Dr. Kiuinfcr's peace efforts." The^Mi^miHerald(Au$. 27) would have

I

preferred face-to-facc Rabin-Sadat negotiations. "Egypt has been bankrupted by the wars she has stined and started . . ." But she is gelling GerakI Ford's promiM of economic aid. and Ford will deliver the . arms necessary to protect Israel. "It is pockclbook diplomacy, but it couU be cheaper in the long run . .." The Washintion Post (Sept. 3): "The Viet Nam analogy so loosely invoked against the dispatch of civilian technicians is lEkroely applicable to a purely nonpartiun peacekeeping mission requested by both sides. ... To oppose any pari of this interconnected agreement woukl be to torpedo it altogether." Other newspapers commented astutely on the various benefits of the agreement. The Kansas City 5/«r(Sept. 3^pointsto the "enormous" stake we now have in the Middle East and declares that to argue that "we cannot justify the stake of a 200-man presence in Sinai is senKless." The Nnt,- Orleans Times Hcai-une{SifA. 4): "Both sides have not only signed apparently sincere commitments to nonhostility, but also have vested interests in trying to keep the peace." The questioning of the American presence "is an imelleclual embarrassment" in the view of columnist Joseph Kraft (Sept. 4): "It confuses intercession with intervention on one side. Il mixes up what the United States did in Viet Nam with the contributions made regularly to pacekeeping by, say. Sweden." The Richmond Times-Dispatch(SefH. 3) believes that "the fragile blossom of peace" now blooms in ihe Middle East. It has "accolades" for Sadat and Rabin.as well as for Kissinger, who is highly praised by many papers. The Richmond News Ijeoder (Aug. 29) observes that "the purpose of the pact. . . is 10 buy time -lime to begin construction of a firm foundation for peace.. . . .The two primary antagonists, however, have taken

As if on cue, some of these people got up and were out the door before the rabbis got up to the lecterns. It's one thing to go out for a breath of fresh air in an all-day worship service. It is quite another to leave from a two- or 2' :;hour service that marks the beginning of the highest of Jewish holy days. Sudi actioncan only be called hypocritical and very callous. - It shows complete disregard for the sanctity of Koi Nidre and there is no excuse lor that.

the Abu Rodeis oil fields, Israel incurred the need to find another source of oil (cost: CSO million I and to build additional storage tanks for a dry day icost: ISO millkm).

With the threat of such a clash reduced, it may now be possible to sk>w down the arms race with the USSR — and save Washington many more billioos than the cost of helptng Israel. 3) America Is a global power, with global responsibilities as well as domestic ones.

revelation. I have, only by chance, discovered a fatal weakness In the national character of th^ Israeli. Individually and collectively. Unless there is a consckws awareness of the flaw, and a desire to correct it. we may be doomed to absolute disintegration as a people and a nation, A minor news Item on the bottom of an Inside page of a newspaper gave me the first startling clue. It reported that although parking of cars on sidewalks is -absolutely prohibited as a menace to pedestrians and a threat to trafflc, the Transport Mbiistry has decided to altow private cars to park on Uie sidewalks on condition that only two wheels are on the walkway. And then it came to me. This sort of thing is becoming an accepted part of everyday life in Israel. For example: Overloading of trucks is strictly banned - and the police have been instructed to prosecute in every case where the overioadtng is 25 percent in excess of the maximum allowed. An apartmaat house raeantly eonplatad la limd <Ml to be

A big bus station and shopping center in Tel Aviv is found to be some tens of thousands of square feet larger than the building permit called for. However, relative to the size of tbe whole gargantuan project the excess can hardly be called serious. A corporation official found guilty. o( stealing S9 million Israel Pounds was given a relatively light jail sentence The Judges found that he had acted against a background of

moral decay and In the atnnosphere of general permissiveness whicfa prevailed hi Israel. So why go hard on the poor guy? This sort of thing goes on every day and In many aspects of dally life. It is based. I would guess, on an innate kindness of nature, a charitableness, a tendency to leniency, a characteristk: that is sonetimes called a good Jewish heart. But when Ifata ktad o(

And now Mr. Kissinger seems to have discovered our weakness. Yes, Israel must have a strong line of defense against a hostile enemy. But what difference do a few score miles make? The Sinai desert is so big! Egyptian tanks must under no account be allowed in the Gidi and MItIa Passes but after all, only the front two. virheels. ..' We are victims of the two wheel mentality. I reveal our Achilles heel weaknns to ail the wortd. not to aid the enemy, but to alert ourselves to the need for a reassessment of vslues and of standards here at home.

"I did not think this. 1 know you have to work iqpwhire. I am very happy here," Life In America seems to be working out well for both these courageous young Jewish families who left all family and friends behind them. As Julian and Rosa explained, "If you go back to Russia after America. It Is like Jail." Both families are here to stay.

The government took out the only telephone because of her activities and so the other seven families were always angry at her, Shirley said. She also reported that a telephone call placed by her family In Omaha to Dr. Levich while she was there never went through and that material mailed from the U.S. got delivered, but that the refusniks never signed the cards that were returned signed- to U.S. citizens.

ByLeeJaneParww There's been no LOVE column for several weeks because of the Holy Days, but that doesn't mean that LOVE and the residents of the Or Sher Home haven't been busy.. believe me! One of the craft programs last week Involved getting the bulletin board ready for fail, and the residents, with the help of Liberty Faler, made cut-outs of fruit and vegetables, similar to those one hangs in a Sukkah. Janet Fischer hung them at the top of the board, with stalks of com from Abraham BInlamow and Kive Homsteln's garden, and It really looks like a Sukkah. If you're at the Home, take a look! The HoRK now has seven boys from Crelghton Prep who, as part of their course In Awareness Workshop, work as volunteers helping Janet. (Wliere are our Jewish boys and girls?) These boys went with Janet w))en she took a busload of residents on a shopping trip to Crossroads Once a month she tries to get everyone out to do those little errands that are so necessary, and having the boys' help Is great. We do owe them a big thanks. We also owe a qiedal thanks to Harry UiU for conduftlng the agt Holy Day Servicea at the Home, and to the other genttanen wto came to help. Scnrleei were kiveiy, and the
