The University of Nice, Prance cancel* its exchangestudent program with the University of Haifa'. In Athens, a 65-year-old woman is thrown from a cab after announcing that she is a Jew. Bombs explode everywhere In (he Jewish quarters of European cities, sometimes wHh lethal results. "It has reached the point where many European Jews are afraid to go to synagogue," said regional AOL supervisor Sheldon Stemhauser, as he painted a grim picture of riling world anti-Scmltisnv "Anti-Semitism, which was so long camouflaged and supressed on the world scene, has now been let loose." Mr. Steinhauser had more bad news for his listener!, assembled for a Society of Fellows' meeting at the home of the Charles Moaasees. Even on the V.8. borne front, be said, "it Is now open season to express the most vicious and vile antl-Semlllsin." He cited ADL studies which have found that the rats of occurence of anti-Semitic act* has doubled in the United States in recent years, and that non-Jewish Americans are Increasingly ready to accuse American Jews of dual loyalties and to accept old anti-Semitic stereotypes as
the truth about Jewa. Mr. Stetnhauser blamed rising anti-Semitism here and abroad partly on a misunderstanding of the war in Lebanon, am) said the ADL has its work "cut out for it" in countering this misunderstanding. lie said the ADL recently sent groups of American generals, congressmen, clergymen and Lebanese-Americans to Israel and Beirut, with the result that all came back home with a new, more positive view of Israel. He said the generals were impressed with the evidence of selective bombing of points in Beirut, and that the Lebanese-Americans were able to meet with their families in Lebanon who told them that they were glad to see the PLO out of the country and the Israelis in. He said the congressmen and clergymen concluded that Israel's only mistake was in not invading West Beirut sooner. He said the American media's coverage of the war was a major contributor to Its being misunderstood In this country, and reported corrective measures being taken by the ADL. He said ADL people, including national director Nathan Pcarlmutter, have appeared on shows of all the major networks to "sensitize" the public to the truth about the war, and that the ADL has been
In touch with newspapers | around the nation whose coverage of the war it felt was not objective. He said a statement by the ADL has been circulated among these newspapers, earning the Denver Pott, for one, to laud the ADL as "one of the world's most respected human rights organizations" and to praise their "extraordinary call to conscience." The ADL statement
read In part, "We reaffirm our respect for the humanity and moral rectitude of the Israeli people even as we Join in the feelings of grief and sadness at the killings in West Beirut... We welcome and support the cause within Israel for an impartial inquiry into the killings... We are proud or the internal debate in Israel which reminds us that the process of democracy there Is alive
and well." Aside from the war issue, Mr. Steinhauser noted ADL efforts to counter the influence of rising anti-Semitic groups in the United States such as the Ku Klux Klan and the Liberty Lobby. He said the ADL recently published a manual called "Extremist Groups in the United Slates" which it has made available to school districts all across the country. He said the manual was in-
tended for use by teachers to "strategite and develop student opinion against appeals to extremism." "It's not a pretty picture," finished Mr. Steinhauser, noting the Pope's reception of Yasslr Arafat, 1200 missing Argentinian Jews, and new Soviet clamps on immigration 'to Israel. "We're in a very serious business today and complacency is the road to our destruction.

EDITORIAL: Coffee anyone? Some occasions are difficult to explain. Jewish Federations and organizations put forth great effort in time and money to organize missions to Washington. Jewish leadership believes that it is important for representatives of Jewish communities to meet with members of Congress. We are told that our visits and meetings are of critical importance to maintaining United States aid for Israel and overall good relations. This logic makes a lot of sense and results to date would indicate that such plans and effort be continued. What doesn't make a lot of sense Is the following: Sea. Alan Cranston <A California was in Omaha recently offering the Jewish community an opportunity to meet with him over breakfast Sen. Cranston was one of the few members of the Senate spearheading the drive against the sate of AWACS to Saudi Arabia. Sen. Cranston Is a true friend of Israel, supporting her needs in the Foreign Itofatftflff Committee C o m t e and in the highest echelons of government. Yet, despite his remarkable credentials as a friend of Israel, few members of the Omaha Jewish community turned out for the breakfast The small turnout of Omaha people is difficult to explain and even more difficult to understand. The day may come when Sen. Cranston to elected President of the United States. And you could have had coffee with him in Omaha. Morris Maline

Where Zionism went wrong HAIFA — When Theodor Herri In 1903 pained hU Utopian novel, Altoeuland, an the Jewish state to be, he could tut foresee any possible antagonism on the part of the Arabs, firstly because there were so few Arabs in the country (A British survey in 1931 determined that 75 percent of the Arabs in Palestine had come there from elsewhere after 1922) and secondly because there had never been any Palestinian nationalism or any Arab Palestinian self-government. Nevertheless, antagonism was created, and grew to the extent that Israel today faces a hostile Middle East sod, to put it mildly, an unfriendly world. Considering all the dreams and ideals and hopes - what went wrong with the vision? As we look back on Zionist history since (he early part of this century, we would do well to ponder what might have been different is we bad done things differently. And if we study that history we come to the disturbing conclusion that the major errors of Zionist policy were not in what we did, but is what we failed to do. And that was the outstanding characteristic of the Wetemann Influence over Zionism for numy decades. Immediately after WoriA War I, Max Nordau called and pleaded for organization of mass Immigration to Palatine of the uprooted millions of Jews in eastern Europe, "Let them live in tents", he stormed, but get them cut of Europe and into Palestine. This sort of disorganized immigration was against Zionist policy of the time. How different things might have been - both in Europe and in Israel - If that immigration had taken place long before the HolocaustI During the 1930s and in the the 90s Jews who sought to bring capital to Palistine and to establish modern industries which would give employment and build the economy were excoriated by the Labor Zionist leadership aa "capitalists", a dirty word in those days. The country had to be built on agriculture. There was a time, in the early days of our Statehood, when Israel could have had diplomatic relations with China, but the leadership in Jerusalem was tlraourous. The opportunity was lost. After theSix-Day War there should have been a mess settlement program for the West Bank and the Golan Heights. In the bright afterglow of victory and with a tremendous surge of enthusiasm, irreversible facts would have been created In the territories wUcb would have altered the course of history. Instead, the government dragged its feet and could not decide on any firm policy. A prominent advocate of territorial compromise on the West Bank today, like Prof. Shlomo Avinery, concedes that if there were today 6,000,000 Jews In Israel, "the sociological argument for a compromise on the West Bank and Gaza would be seriously weakened. But the debate has to be held in the context of existing conditions, and these are as they arc." In other words, today we pay the price. Our failures were sins of omission. When there was courage to make decisions, things happened. When ft was decided to create settlements, to build towers and stockades and to colonize lonely sites (even in the midst of Arab areas), historical facts were created which affected the ultimate boundaries of the State. The important thing is that things were done. Many fine Zionists objected timorously to proclamation of the State of Israel in 1943, but Ben Gurion insisted, and it was done. In 1967, in the face of Nasser's threats, a courageous decision was taken to strike first, and (he Egyptian Air Force was destroyed in one morning. Few today recall that the Western Wall In Jerusalem
originally fronted on a very narrow alley and overlooked a congested slum area. Decision was quick, and before any outcry or objection could be heard, the population was evacuated and the bulldozers cleared the area tc what we know today, and the world accepts It. Those were irreversible facts. If there had been hesitation ot delay then, it would still not have been done. If the establishment of settlements in Judea and Samaria today la eroding public opinion against us, we are paying the price for delay In what should have been done quickly years ago, when the moods' were quite different. Too often, however, at critical periods In our history, the leadership wavered. It was concerned with what the world would think, or with preserving Arab sensibilities, as if such concern would earn us points for good behavior. Instead all the Zionists hesitations were correctly recognised as weakness, and to thai extent encouraged further opposition. The surrendering of the Sinai was not a popular deed in Israel. It had been done once before, by Ben Gurion, under American pressure but this time It was executed by a government which with courage and determination extracted a quid pro quo - diplomatic relations wih the largest oNwr Arab neighbors. Israel is still faced with long range probtems, most of them traceable to the indecision ot previous governmoits. But perhaps we have teamed a lesson: What is done quickly; thouroughly, decisively, without qualification or reservations. Is not easily altered, and results in the creation of facts. The Begin Government may occasionally make mistakes; the only ones who make no mistakes are those who do nothing. It is a leasts Government which makes decisions. The War In Lebanon was such a decision. It was not popular. It was accompanied by mifhaps like the murder of Bashlr Gemayel, the massacre in Beirut, but in the long run history will show that it was a correct move and that it was the step that resulted in eventual peace with Lebanon.
\Letter to the Editor \ To the Editor: I have been a regular subscriber to the Jewish Press since leaving Omaha in 1973. A recent article attracted my attention. It was about the shortage of and need for advisors in the local Youth organizations. Of course this has been a problem for over 30 years when I was active in that capacity. I am at a loss to understand why more young men ami women do not wish to become advisors. To me it was the happiest lime of my life wording with nice young men and women with their imagination and ideas. We became very close and I can think of no better hobby. Having been Advisor for AZA No. 1. AZA No. 100 ond BBYO chairman for one year, covering over 15 years altogether, I followed the careers of most of those young people over the years afterwards and it was a heartfelt pleasure to see how well they were doing. Resides, being an advisor keeps you young and active. Once you try it you will love it. SarnEpitMn Hiinnyvalf, Ca'..

Students hold policy conference We, Jodl Feldman and Tammy Rubin, are writing this letter from Washington D C , where we have been attending Washington One, a National Student Conference on Public Policy Issues. The coordinators of the conference were: American Israel Public Affairs Committee, (AIPAC) The American Zionist Youth Foundation, United Jewish Appeal, Institute of Students and Faculty on Israel and the Student Coalition on Soviet Jewry. We were here along with approximately ISO other college and graduate students who all share an urgent desire and need to learn more about policies affecting Jews both in the U.S. and around the world. We also are bound together as activists; we not only think about the issues at hand, but we also organize, initiate, participate in and plan debates and rallies. Each day of the conference was devoted to a different issue. The list of topics Included: Israel, Soviet Jewry, nudear disarmament and domestic concerns. The list of speakers was both extensive and Impressive. Among them were Thomas Dine, executive director of AIPAC; Yehcchafat Harkavi, former chief of military Intelligence of the Israeli Defense Force (IDF); Benjamin Ablleah, Consul General of the State of Israel; and Dr. William Korey, director, International Policy Research. The conference also Included trips to the State Department, the Israeli Embassy and the White House. Briefings at the White House were conducted by Michael Horawttz, Office of Management and Budget, Jim Moore, Student Aid Office and Dee Jcpsen, liaison to service organizations, and wife of Republican Senator from Iowa, Robert Jcpscn. The purpose of this tetter is to share some of our thoughts from this conference. First, we feel It is important to convey to the Jewish community to Omaha the necessity for doing things for brad outside of fundraudng. So often we as American Jews feel that Israel is part of our reaponisbUity, and we bear this respon-
sibility by increasing our yearly pledges and by stressing the importance of philanthropy among adults and youth. But our recent trips to Washington only servedtodiscount this aspect and stress other important issues. Namely, that Israel Is not a charity case, and anyone who has ever been there knows this only too welL It is a developing, modem, democratic nation, that needs our help, both monetarily and in less well-defined areas. Israel docs not just want our money; but rather they need our moral support. We need to stand behind Israel and let the country know that we are trusted, both as Jews and as allies. We cannot sit back and condemn Israel without all the facts. We owe it to the Jewish people to strengthen our cause and build others' faith In us. This can only be accomplished by remembering that we are a Jewish community and must work together in ordertodispel the fears and myths that our non-Jewish neighbors (and, sadly enough, members of our own community) are so quicktoexpress. Education has been a significant aspect and a major accomplishment of the Jewish people for centuries. And we must never see this strength dissipate. Educating ourselves, then, about the political reality is both important and necessary for a complete understanding of Israel's situation. But how can we educate ourselves about Israel? Besides reading books, newspapers and magazines, we must visit Israel with our children In orderto:l) strengthen the economy, 2) appreciate the culture and the beauty of the country, and 3) experience the history and the suffering of the Jewish people. Then and only then will Israel become less distant to us, and we will be able to effectively combat falsehoods and injustices that are currently widespread. After all, if we as Jews do not support Israel wholeheartedly, bow can we expect otherstodo so?
being educated today, in this nation's colleges and universities. Our education can not revolve solely around the library. Virtually every university has some way that we as Jewish students can become involved Whether it be through Hllld, through Zionist organizations, or through political activism. We must retaliate against Arab and pro-Palestinian propaganda that is being distributed all over college campuses. We write this letter because of our concern that our peers have become inactive. It hurts us to think that our grandparents fled to this country seeking a land where their voices could be heard; and yet we as Jewish ' students are so often silent on many provocative issues. Our democracy allows individuals to make a difference, and we must take it upon ourselves to make that difference. We cannot allow ourselves to succumb to the apathy that Is plaguing college campuses today. We must care now in ordertosecure our future. These are some of the impressions that most profoundly affected us and our peers at this eye-opening conference in Washington. We hope that next year more students will take advantage of this tremendous opportunity. It was so refreshing to spend four intensive days listening to speeches, debating and meeting Jewish students with similar interests. A feeling of 'chaverah' was developed. We would like to thank all those who made this conference possible and would like to give special thanks to Rabbi Stanley A. Ringkr, chairman of the conference, and National Director for Community Affairs, B'nsl B'rith H1IW Foundation.

ByEUeaGerdman Federation Staff Nita Levy, chairman of the United Jewish Appeal Young Woman's Leadership Cabinet, recently made a presentation to the Budget and Planning Committee for the yearly UJA allocation to Israel. The presentation was made during one of the five meetings held to review the 1983 budgets for ' the seven departments. Mrs. Levy told the committee that there are three messages that must be conveyed. The first is that Israel had valid reasons for going into Lebanon. As a result of the military action financial burdens are being placed on Israelis. She said that it is necessary for the Jewish people in America to help alleviate those burdens. In recent yean, due to shortfalls in the United Jewish Appeal Campaigns, the Israeli government has taken on the responsibility of funding many humanitarian services which were previously supported by American Jews. The necessity to pay for both military spending and humanitarian service* has put a severe strain en the government budget since Peace for the Galilee. The Israeli government must pay for current military expenses and faces the possibility of cutting spending for education, settlements in non-desputed territories and other vital social
amounts from the American government Mrs. Levy asked the Budget and Planning committee members not to cut tha allocation to Israel even though the 1982 Campaign raised less money than In 1981. She* asked the committee tq consider increasing th/bi United Jewish Appeal allocation as a message that the Jewish Federation of Omaha supports Israel. Nita Levy, president 0! the VIA Young Women's Leadership Cabinet, makes bar preseatatloa (0 toe Budget and Planning Committee. Sitting next to Mra. Levy U Beryl Michaels, Onuna's reglaaa! UJA 'Representative and Howard Kailow and Harvey Cooper, committee members. welfare programs. Mrs. Levy noted that American dollars collected by UJA are not used for military expenses. The second message Is that even though American Jews might not agree with Israeli government actions, they do support the country and its people. Mra. Levy said that the state of Israel must survive.
The third message: financial aid must not be cut for Israel. Mrs. Levy said that federation leaden must tell U.S-officials that even though they are naving a difficult time raising messy, financial support should not be cut for Israel. Jewish organlzaUona cannot afford to give the message that Israel can use leas money or the same
She said government officials and politician* are aware of the support given to Israel by the American Jewish community. Any indication of a cut back In support by United Jewish Appeal will give a message that it la allright for the United States government to give less foreign aid to Israel. According to Mrs, Lew this cannot happen. The budget reviews were completed en Nov. V The proposed 1983 Federation budget win be presented to the Federation Board of Directors at the Nov. » meeting.
