Editor's Note: Even tbougb the eventstowardpeace la the Mideast are «he*d of our report*fromCairo, we believe that the historical impact of these fflipatcbM warranti continued publication of the certes. By Dr. Yitschak Ben Gad (Maduf) Jewish Exponent Mideast Analyst CAIRO — Speaking with the Egyptian officials and journalists here in Cairo, one can hear their frank opinion about Israel and about their brethren in other Arab states. They ask: "Why were you Israelis unaware of our desire for peace and our exhaustion from war? Why didn't you feel that you were as tired as we were? Why didn't you believe Sadat when he said In February, 1971, that he would be prepared to sign a peace treaty with Israel? Why did you first ask to start the October war in order to prove that Israel cannot guarantee her security by holding onto Arab territory? However, the complaints of these officials and journalists are not only against Israel. .They point a finger of accusation against the Arab oil-rich states and those on the rejection front, such as Libya, Iraq and, to a certain extent, Saudi Arabia. They readily relate to you that the Egyptians who sacrificed so muchblood and money, they, and only they, have the right to make peace. Those who never fought Israel, they say, have no moral right to dictate to us not to strive to achieve peace. If they indeed want to fight Israel, then no one is preventing them from doing so. One of the advantages of being here in Cairo is being able to buy and read Egyptian papers on their day of publication. Here in the press you can /ind extremely interesting articles unavailable In foreign papers. The recent edition of the Egyptian weekly magazine October carried a revealing interview with President Sadat iri which he openly declared that Syria's behavior proved that it does not want peace. He compared Syria and the other Arab states in relation to his peace

. efforts to mice and monkeys which dance to the tune of a Soviet master. Sadat continued by claiming that the factor uniting his rivals was their bitterness against and Jealousy of Egypt. This he believed is due to their realization that Egypt is the true power that can In-. fluence the course of events in the Middle East and the world. The Interviewer of the magazine October then asked Sadat whether he is disturbed by the fact that the other Arab confrontation states would not attend the Cairo conference. Sadat replied that he believed the other Arab states have no alternative buttodo what the Egyptians have done. The negotiations must be direct. Egypt would go to the end this time, even if all the other Arab states and Russia would be left behind. Then Sadat added: "Anyone who wants to achieve more than what I am achieving for the Arab side, let him stand before the Arab world and do so. Then we would be thankfultohim." The' Egyptian leader then revealed that his daring initiative to visit Israel came about when he received a handwritten letter from President Carter two months prior to his (Sadat's) visit to Israel. After reading the letter, he began thinking seriously about some initiative. A short tune thereafter, Sadat left for a visit to Rumania. In the Rumanian capitol he asked the Rumanian president two questions: First, does the Rumanian president believe that Begin really wants peace, and second, is Begin strong enough to make difficult decisions and can he convince his people to accept his decisions? The Rumanian president answered both questions in the affirmative. This subsequently helped Sadat to decide to visit Jerusalem. Sadat continued to explain that the element of surprise about his Intended visit to Israel was not less Important than the surprise of the Yom Kippur War. He added: "This Is the (Continued on Page 7)

In boys'basketball competition,* two games were held. In the first contest, CHAIM WEIZMANN defeated AZA 100 25-11. Bruce Goldberg sparked the Chaimies by scoring 20 out of the team's 25 points. The second game saw. AZA l take on CHAIM WEIZMANN in a session that looked more like practice for the Harlem Globetrotters than a high school contest. AZA l came out on top 66-11 with Kevin Scudder taking 20 points through the hoop. In Girls' volleyball, the action was more Intense. EDIAR took the championship hi a five game set against NER TAMID.

The Time Capsule The Jewish Federation of Omaha will conduct a combined annual meeting, Jan. 29 at 7:30 p.m. in the Jewish Community Center. A feature of this program will be the dedication of a time capsule. When the capsule is opened 50 or more years from now, it is hoped that members of the Jewish Community of Omaha will have some insight, some recognition of our life here in Omaha today. Thinking about what to put in this capsule should prompt us to think about our Jewish life in this Community, at this time. What is good? What needs changing? What do we want to pass on to future generations? And as we think, let's not forget the previous generation—the Jewish people of this Community who came before us—the things we enjoy today as a result of their efforts. Time does indeed march on. And as we think ahead to the next generation, let's say to ourselves: What have we contributed to the future?

Who says a Kibbutz Has to Be Poor? Haifa - There is indignation in the kibbutz movement. Why do people believe that a kibbutz has to be poor? Why is it a crime for a kibbutz to have an affluent society of its own? Why the derision on the part of city folks when they learn that kibbutz members can live very well indeed? Why this morbid poking Into kibbutz private life? Why didn't they point a finger at us when we had only olives and half an egg for a meal? These are, In effect, some ot the q u e s t i o n s kibbutz members are asking in toe wake of a short article in Haaretz entitled "American Style at Kibbutz Netzer Seranl." Some aspects of kibbutz Improvements and development are already taken for granted. No one Is surprised any more' when be finds air conditioning, hygienic conditions, excellent food, decorative arts and green lawns in the larger and more prosperous kibbutzim. The people worked hard in these settlements, and they're

entitled to comfort which they have earned. What c a u s e d l i f t e d eyebrows, however, was the report that some members at Netzer Serenl had private bank accounts on the outside, took frequent trips abroad, and apparently had lota of spending money — this in a society which Is supposed to preach proletarian egalltarlanism. This kibbutz alto operates several prosperous factories which have an «nrtfipi turnover of almost a hundred million ,IsraeI Pounds a year,

five tunes Its income from agriculture. There's nothing wrong hi that, but of the 140 persons working in the plants, about a hundred are hired help from the outside. In other words, the kibbutz Is not only a capitalist, but a successful one. _ Explanations and qualifications followed. Yes, It may be true that some ot the Netzer Serenl members maintain private bank accounts (through which they can carry on private Investments hi the stock market) but the money

Syria's major objective is to forge a link with the West Bank in cooperation with Jordan as a major advance toward realization of itsGreaterSyria dream. On its west, Syria would establish a protectorate over Lebanon. It would attempt to maintain control over the PLp. Assad would continue to consolidate friendly relations and military links with King Hussein and they would be co-trustees of the Palestinian homeland or entity on the West Bank. Veteran Washington diplomats thus ra' Uooalize Syria's ambivalent and puzzling behavior. . Wmlei Syria has lashed at President Sadat's peace initiative, rejected his invitation to Cairo and participated in the rejectionlst rally at Tripoli, it balked at the demand of its Iraqi enemy to reject UN Resolutions 242 and .338. It wants to be at a Geneva conference if one is ever held. . .Always remembering the.aggressive in; translgehce of Syria since 1948, Israelis would doubtless oppose extended Syrian proximity. If there is to be a separate Palestinian entity, Israel would naturally prefer it to be linked with Jordan and Israel. "Thus, former Israeli Foreign Minister Abba Eban, for more than a decade, has been advocating a "Benelux" federation comprising Israel, Jordan and the West Bank — a formula which recognizes the value of economic interdependence. - The hard PLO line at Tripoli, where the socalled "moderate" Arafat participated along with George Habash, the ultra-radical PjBLP leader, revealed to those willing to perceive reality that the PLO is still rejecting Resolution 242 and peace with Israel. Diplomats and the media they Influence should shed their wishful perceptions. •-; The White House campaign to convert the PLO was one of many illusory objectives which motivated U.S. policy. , ;. '

Others included the fiction of a monolithic Arab world, the obsession with Arab unity and the Geneva conference as ends hi themselves, and the notion that the Soviet Union could be a cooperative and constructive partner for peace. The PLO's hard line and Its declaration against any peace with Israel will not Ingratiate it with East Bank Palestinians, who remember PLO bloodbaths hi Jordan and Lebanon. Despite PLO election gains in the West Bank, we suspect that few West Bank Arabs would vote to share their land with the Arab refugees. Syria's role as the spoiler is not easily forgotten. It was the last to negotiate an armistice agreement in 1948. It Insisted on demilitarized zones which it used as bases to claim rieparian rights In the Jordan River and the Sea of Galilee In order to challenge Israel's Hulah development and overall water plan. It tried to divert Israel's water resources. It shot at Israeli settlers and fishermen. It dispatched terrorists Into Israel's farmlands. It sought to bait Nasser Into war in 1965, unsuccessfully, and in 1967, successfully. And it collaborated — to its defeat — in the Yom Kippur attack. With that record, Israel Is not likely to embrace Syria as a trustee in the West Bank. And yet, paradoxically, Syria is the one Arab country which, if it really cared about the Palestinian refugees and its own development, could facilitate a vast resettlement project hi northern areas rich in soil and water but poor in human resources. With that kind of enterprise, Assad could rival Sadat's lm- ~ aginative initiative. Critics of Sadat who accuse him of dlsrup-, ting Arab unity fail to understand that Arabs unite In only one cause — not for peace/but for Israel's destruction. Granted that a comprehensive settlement is most desirable, the Sadat-Begin negotiation must not be jettisoned In the pursuit of an unattainable Utopia. .

stemmed from German reparations. Some of 'the members are survivors of Buchenwald, and when the reparations came through It was decided that each recipient could keep 80 percent of the payments. The balance went to the kibbutz. These members were free to do as they wished with tbelr money. Some spent It on travel. Some put it into expansion of their homes and furnishings. And some opened bank accounts. . The public was amused to read that Netzer Sereni maintains Its own supermarket where members can buy what .they wish, paid for hi kibbutz script. Netzer Serenl has departed from the original collective Ideology hi other ways as well. They were one of the first to discontinue the common nursery for children. Here the youngsters are raised with and by their own parents. The kibbutz secretary told a reporter: Should we have to apologize for being successful? Yes, we are a collective under conditions of affluence. Income tax? They Insist that they pay honestly, as required by the law. But some observers point out that the law was enacted by Labor Governments and was designed to give the kibbutz a definite advantage, by dividing the gross income statistically among all the members, and thus reducing the total payments. Netzer Serenl, it should be noted has almost 600 souls, Including members,, children, temporary residents, ulpan students, etc. There are some kibbutzim that are said to be much wealthier than Netzer Sereni. And there are certainly many that have not reached anywhere near its economic standards, especially some of tbenewerones. Rich or poor, capitalist or Socialist, there is no doubt that the kibbutz is a unique creation of the Zionist move. ment, and object of curious Interest to all from the outside.
