Israel willing to settle for 25% of Palestine; Arabs want all
HAIFA — A wise observer here has commented that we permit ourselves to be so overwhelmed by immediate events that we fail to think in broad, historical terms, and •operate only within narrow, immediate and contemporary brackets. Let's sit back and study certain obvious issues. Hie real problans are not the stieet riots, but matters more fundamental.

To be sure, the setting up of a Paleetine state, in anyarse, will be far from easy. There will be many forces congieting for leadership, and for a whila the new state of Palestine may raawibla preeent<lyM>aaon, kidud in civil war, undone group or another managas to obtafai the upper hand, larael would have to ckMe ita aaataiin border aw wait for - the flamea to dto down in Saatan Palaatine.

perienced negotiator, whether in politics or in the sale of a used car, is prepared to announce in advance the full extent of the compromise he is prepared to make, or how far he is willing to come down in his price? Yet the critics of Israeli government policy, both here at home and among well-meaning but not fully informed friends abroad, never tire of shouting from the housetops that larael must withdraw from the Golan Heighta, sunndsr Judsa and Samaria and Osza, and cooperate in Uie creation of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state, tocatad in the area between us and Jordan, tharoby squaedng our elongated sUvo- of a state against the beachee of the Mediterranean.

There is, at the present time, httle indication that Arab lands are pre|>ared to he^ in such a humanitarian move—indeed, they are the ones responsible for perpetuating the refugee problem all these years. And so it will remain for Israel and international agencies to do what must be done to rescue lives and restore human dignity. But once again we are faced with that highly articulate group of liberals in Israel who in Hebrew are called "beau-, tiful souls," and the reference is not complimentary. Personalities from academia, the entertainment worid and the creative arts never tire of arguing that Israel must nbt rule over another people againat their wOl, and that here at home Jews and Arabs muat livo together in peace, tolerance and friendship.

Rains have added about 2.5 inches a day to the level of Lake Tiberias, Israel's main water reservoir. But the water authority will have to maintain a 10 per-
cent cutback in water Usage for the next 10 years to compensate for the "overdraft in Israel's water bank" because of'previous drought years. Agriculture Minister Aryeh Nahamkin said.

Respect for the \flctlm8:
'I felt compelled to stand' Curious logic An Omaha World-Herald editorial displayed a curious sense of logic recently in discussing the meeting of a senator's aide with PLO leader Arafat. To refresh your memory, the sequence of events is as follows: H. Baker Spring, an aide to U.S. Sen. David Kames, journej'ed to Iraq al6ng with 80616 20 other congressional aides on a trip sponsored by the National Coundl of U.S.-Arab Relations. On that trip, the group met with terrorist Arafat and then decided to keep the meeting a secret. When Senator Kames found out about the meeting by reading of it in the newspapers this month, he reprimanded his aide.' Hal Daub, a candidate for the Republican nomination for the Senate, said in the press that he would have fired an aide for such behavior. In its editorial, the World-Herald suggested that both Kames and Daub had overreacted. The writer said that it is time for the world to recognize the reality of Arafat in that the PLO does represent the Palestinians residing in the West Bank and Gaza. In essen^, the writer set forth the proposition that an employee of a United States Senator not only had the right to defy United States policy, but had an obligation to do so. After reading the editorial and experiencing a shudder of disbelief, some thoughts zipped along my brainwaves and I ndw will pass them along in this column. /If Arafat does represent the Palestinians and Israel does decide to meet with him in face-to-face negotiations, what will those sessions decide? There is no secret to Arafat's position, nor is there is any secret to the PLO's position—they are one and the same. Their position is that the Jews of Israel can live in peace in the Arab State of Palestine—not the Jewish State of Israel. For Israel to discuss peace with Arafat means that Israel will be in the unenviable position of negotiating what pieces the Arabs will allot to the Jews. So much for Arafat representing the Palestinians. It is not for the World-Herald to tell Israel how to commit national suicide. Israel should and must pursue a course in her own best interest. Now, for Mr. Spring. O.K., so be didn't know what he was getting into. He apparently is young and inexperienced in the ways of the real world. But, he certainly knew tnat covering up his meeting and not telling his boss about it was really stupid and unbecoming an aide to a United States Senator. Sen. Kames wap absolutely correct in reprinianding his * aide; he did not overreact. Would-be Sen. Daub also was correct in announcing how he would have handled the incident; he did not overreact. The logic of the World-Herald is curious. The editorialist, no doubt, would recommend that you sit down with an anarchist who has torched your house and murdered your children to negotiate what transportation you would take to leave town. And the editorialist would say also that a public servant can defy the President of the United States, the Seci«tary of State, the United States Congress, and his boss—a United States Senator—and walk away feeling that be did a service to his country! Wow, World-Herald, your logic is intereating-to aay the most.

By Morris Maline A former Omahan who attended sessions of the Klaus Barbie trial in Lyons, France, said that he endured long hours of waiting in line to get into the courtroom and then refused to take a seat to observe the proceedings. "I felt compelled.to stand and endure whatever physical discomfort came my way out of respect to the victims of the Holocaust," said Dr.Melvin Cohen, political science professor at Miami University of Ohio. He related his observations of the trial to about 50 'attending a lecture at the Jewish Community Center last week. Dr. Cohen told the group that he has been visiting France for many years to visit with his wife's family and that last year his visit made it possible for him to attend three of the trial sessions. He said that he was present on the final day of the proceedings and that he was able to see Barbie's face as he awaited judgment. "At that moment, it was worth it... I had seen a war criminal and he was fotmd guilty of all charges... a si|nple act of justice," Dr. Cohen said. Using slides of actual photographs, Dr. Cohen traced Barbie's life from his birth in Germany, the abuse he received from an alcoholic father and his attraction to the Nazi party as a means of livelihood. In 1942, Barbie, a French-speaking German, was assigned to Lyons as head of the Gest^M. He was charged

with being responsible for the deportation of civilians to the death camps, organizing the last convoy out of Lyons, brutally against in^viduals, and perhaps the most publicized atrocity—the deportation of 44 Jewish children and their teachers. Dr. Cohen showed a photograph of the Telex signed by Barbie, which described the deportation of the children and > which was a major piece of evidence at the trial .Dr. Cohen also described the flight of Barbie from tiermany after the war when he was working for the American Counter Intelligence Corps. Dr. Cohen pointed out that the Americana refused to tum Barbie over to the French in 1960 despite pressure from the French, instead sending him to South America where he led a profitable life in Bolivia. Barbie managed a sawmill there, then invested in the shipping business exporting quinine and other drugs, and in 1967—according to secondary sources said Dr. Cohen— also shipped amis to Israel. In 1971, when attempts were being made to inactivate the Barbie investigation, the cause for reopening the case was pushed by the Klarsfelds, internationally-known Nazi hunters. The next year, the French press published Barbie's photo and the Klarsfelds went to Bolivia to seek extraditioa However, no extradition treaty existed between France and Bolivia so it waisn't until France cut its aid to Bolivia and a Democratic government was installed there did the Bolivians consent to extradition. He was taken to French soil in 1983 and was imprisoned until his recent trial. Dr. Cohen said that by following the trial and by studying Barbie's role in the Holocaust, he came away with a better understanding of the "horrors of Nazism... how the United States used former Nazis... and that apparently normal people can do abnormal things. He concluded his talk with some conunenta that he had , included in a letter to a Jewish newspaper. These comments are as follows: "I too have visited Berlin and Dachau. Like many American Jews, I had mixed feelings about about visiting Germany, particularly Berlin. I too walked the streets of Berlin and wondered what life must have been like during the Third Reich. Each time I saw a person old enough to have lived during that period, I wondered what they had seen, what they had done when Jews were being harassed, beaten or transported out of Berlin; I visited the remnants of Kriatallnact (in the East as well as the West) and I prayed on Shabbat with those who still live in BerUn. "My stays in Berlin were not easy ones. As a Jew, I carry remnants of the Holocaust even though my family was fivtunate enough not to have experienced the horror directly. As a Jew, every time I see a film or read a book on the Holocaust, it's as if I am doing it for the first time. I always hope the story will tum out differently, and I am always horrified and angry when it does not. Also as a Jew, I know the importance of truth and the value of wisdom. If, as Jews, we are to deal as maturely with our history as we hope Germans will deal with theirs, more tmth and wisdom are needed on both sides of the horror which divides our two peoples."

Paper suggests Kissinger called nuclleer alert
Shalom from Jerusaliem • By Hany Allen Purim has come and gone and the "great national hoiuedaaning for Pesach" haa atarted. Purim wu delightful The school kids wandered around Jerusalem in a great array of costume, the TekAviv Adloyodah Parade (Hebrew for "until you Ao not know"— from the iqjunctioa that on Purim one must drink until he cannot tell the difference betweoi Haman and Mordechai) drew half a mHUoD people, Dur kibbutz family and ourselves among them. Shalach Manot were fredy exchanged among friends and neighbors and parties abounded. The Purim Bash on our daughter's kibbutz broke up at 4:30 a.m. And now spring flowers in the desert and the fields are blossoming after the heavy winter rains and the Kinneret is at its highest level in 20 years-so full is this little sea in the Gallil that the gates have had to be opened to make room for the waters from the snow melt on Mt. Herinon, which is yet to come. But the serious problems do not go away like the Purim coatumes—stored for another year—and we in Israel are back to our regimen of listening to all of the news broadcasts and wondering what will be done by what passes as the national unity government. And we worry that our friends, Jewish and non-Jewish alike, in the United States and Europe are being blinded to'our reality in their newly found moral outrage. We are reminded of the old song, "The Preacher and the Bear," which Phill Harris sang so humorously on the old Jack Benny radio show. As the bear chased the preacher, he closed the song with the line, "0 Lord, if y.ou can't help me then please don't help that bear." It seems strange that the tourists here are Iwgely Germans who come to learn and support while American Jews ore canceling trips by the score. We spent a marvelous weekend in Eilat for our 43rd anniversary and the conversation on the beach sounded like "Unter-der-Linden" in Berlin. . The riots dondnata the news and conversation. At every party, talk eventually gets around to them. Living room conversations follow the lines of the national debate—nuwt pec^le know that the status-quo is gone,, but there is widespread concern and deep division about what Israel must now do. But unlike the debates from the safe haven of American drawing rooms and academic seminars, the debates here reflect the real world and real anxieties on a very personal level. After all, its the lives of the people here, and its their kids who are getting stoned and daily vilified. But the political situations fluid and even the professional pollsters and pundits are quite unsure how things would go in api election.
"The Yom Kippur Alert: A Crisis in President Nixon's Leadership" was the subject of a paper preeented on March 10 at the Missouri Valley History Conference in Omaha. The paper was read by Karen Bruner, $ University of Nebraska-Omaha history graduate student, during a session on Diplomatic Crises of the 1970's. The conference is sponsored annually by UNO, Ms. Bruner's paper was an investigation of the circumstances surrounding the United States response to the outbreak of hostilities between Israe) and Egypt in the Yom Kippur War of October 1973. As the war progressed during that month, Soviet and U.S. interests in maintaining stability in the Middle East as well as a mutual desire to protect U.S.-Soviet detente prompted the two powers to arrange a ceasefire between the two belligerents on Oct. 22. Continuing allegations by both Egypt and Israel that the other was violating the ceasefire eventually escalated the situation, however, into a major international confrontation. The critical point was reached on the night of Oct. 23, when a communique was sent by Soviet Party Ciiief Leonid Brezhnev to the U.S. demanding that the U.S. and U.S.S.R. jointly dispatch troops to enforce the ceasefire agreement. The Soviets further threatened unilateral intervention if the U.S. did not cooperate. According to Ms. Bruner's study. National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger apparently took over control of U.S. reaction to the threat while President Nixon, embroiled in the controversy over the Watergate investigation, remained in his White House Uving quarters. That reaction took the form of an alert of both U.S. conventional and nuclear forces. Although the sources are contradictory .and somewhat incomplete, the evidence appears to point to the fact that Kissinger engineered this emphatic response without the active participation of the President and, perhaps, without his knowledge. Although the crisis wound down of its own accord on the morning of Oct. 25, Ms. Bruner asserted that the events of the night before presented a disconcerting scenario in which a possible nuclear confrontation between the two major world powers was managed by the National Security Adviser while the President slept.

ADL survey shows skinhead growth By Snaoa Bimbanm NEW VORK (JTA) Skinhead youth gangs are continuing to expand their membcrsUp, attack members of ndnority groups and vandalize'synagogues, according to a recent survey conducted by the AntiDefamation League of B'nai B'rith. "The %inheada-An Update on Shaved for Battle' " is a follow-up to an ADL reiK>rt of last October about the racist youths, primarily boys, who shave their heads, wear Nazi insignia and harass and attack members of racial and religious minorities. Gangs^ composed over whefaninj^ of teenagers, including children as young as 13 and 14, according to the report.

However, the ADL and others note not all youth who have adopted Skinhead haircut or garb are racist or neo-Nazi, wishing only to show defiance of their elders. The stirvey details the criminal activities hi which the Skinheads have been in-
volved in the past four months, including nyniLgogue vandalism, antiSemitic graffiti and temaizing or attacking individuals.
Nazi crimes The Royal Canadian Mounted PoUce haa asked for the assistance of the World Jewish Congress in locating witnesses for the prosecution of individuals impUcated in Nazi crimes in regions of Hungary. Under amendments made to the Criminal Code of Cknada in 1987, Canadian Courts now have the'jurisdiction to try individuals in Canada implicated in such crimes where their activities would have been an offense if committed in Canada. Among the cases currently under investigation are the confinement of Jews in the areas of Szeged, Hungary and their deportation from Hungary. Individuals who can be of assistance may contact Ms. Bessy Pupko, World Jewish Congress, 501 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10022, (212) 766-5770.

Purim was jubilant at the Rose Blumkin Home this year. There was a Purim Party on March 3 when Rini Gonsher entertained with story-telling. Abe Kaplan reigned as King and Lil Weinstein wa8~our own Queen Esther. The children from the JCC p|;e-school delighted the folks as they paraded through the Home In their costumes. Later in the day, the JCC staff frolicked through the halls in their Purim array. That same evening, the "Omaha Cloggers" presented a dance recital. The following day the chil(lren from the Friedel Academy entertained with Purim songs. To the additional delight of the residents, the pre-school children joined them to enjoy the Purim songfest. Isn't it wonderful that our Senior Citizens and our very young children celebrate together. On Shabbos, Feb. 26, the AZA §1 freshmen conducted the services—another fine example of the special relationship between generations in our community. The annual mini-concert series was initiated March 13 by Ernie Priesman. The residents always ei\joy hearing Ernie play for them. On March 15, Rabbi Sidney Brooks spoke to the residents. On March 23, a special luncheon was held for the residents who entered the Home in 1087. The "Class of 87" is a distinctive
group now. The League of Women Voters recently came to the Home to register those residents those residents who moved in during the past year. Welcome to Ben and Bessie Friedman who moved here from Lincoln. Sidney and Nancy Pearlman are moving to Des Moines and we will miss them.

We wish the Pearlmans success in their new community and hope they will visit us often. Nancy baa been setting this year as general chairman for »LOVE. Lucille Prohm will take over these duties.

By David Landau JERUSALEM (JTA) There has been an upsurge in applications for gun licenses by the general public, a development linked directly to the continuing unrest in the Weat Bank and Gaza Strip and the escalation of terrorist incursions against Israel. The head of the Interior Ministry's firearms licensing department, Moshe Weiss, said that the ministry's strict licensing policy is under review and may be relaxed. It has generally favored Jewish settlers in the administered territories, while residents of Israel proper have a tough time obtaining a license. Weiss spoke to security officials from northern Galilee, who urged a more liberal policy in the wake of pressure from citizens of that area. They are concerned about recent ter^ rorist infiltrations and attempted infiltrations from Lebanon. Gun dealers in Jerusalem report a doubling of consumer interest in firearms. But this has not tranalated into greater sales, because of the difficulty of obtaining a license.' Beersheba gun dealers also report rising demand since terrorists hijacked a bus in the Negev on March 7, killing thri and wounding 10.

ACLU sues government over religious aid By Howard RoMnberg WASHINGTON (JTA)Despite Sen. Daniel Inpuye's (D-Hawaii) resdsaion last month of bis proposed $8 million allocation to a U.S. Jewish group to build yeshivas in France, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is now suing the Reagan Administration to challenge the constitutionality of providing any government funds to sectarian groups abroad. During the controversy surrounding the $8 million provided to the New York City-based Orthodox organization Ozar Hatorah— which was signed by President Reagan in December as part of a $600 billion spending bill but later rescinded—it was revealed that the government has been tunneling tens of millions of dollars over the past decade to religious groups abroad, through an Agency for International Development program called American "Schools and Hospitals Abroad (ASHA). On Feb. 4, the ACLU amended its suit against the Inouye allocation to challenge the ASHA program. LJater, after Reagan signed Inouye's rescission measure, the ACLU again revised the suit to challenge ASHA only. . The revised lawsuit argues that such funding violates the separation of church and state mandated by the First Amendment. Should the suit succeed, it would cut off U.S. government funding to various yeshivas in Israel Since 1983, ASHA has provided $2 million to Ohr Somayach, a girls' affiliate of a Jerusalem yeshiva; S400,000 to Shaalvim Teacher's College, tfiOO.OOO

The guest speaker was Ally Milder, Republican candidate for Congress for the seat vacated by Representative Hal Daub. Ms. Milder presented her father, Julian, and we learned that she is a fifth-generation Omahan who attended Benson High School, UNO and received her law degree from Creighton University. She has been legal counsel to Senator Charles Grassley of Iowa and has been involved in preventing fraud in government contracts, and in anti-tomography laws, and others. Ms. Milder became involved in the Soviet Jewry problem when she went to Russia with Shirley Goldstein. She told us that Russia's Gorbachev wants to take the Soviets out of the Third World economic ster eotype, change and in^irove the Soviet appearance in world economy.

Youth Department to offer modeling class for girls
The Nerd triumphs ' at the Firehouse "Go ahead laugh ... he's not living in your house," reads the promotional material announcing presentation of The Nerd at the Firehouse theater. You say you don't know what nerd means? How about Sad Sack, or even better nebbish? • For those without Yiddish translators, nebbish in an innocuous, ineffectual, weak, helpless, or hapless, unfortunate—got it? In the Firehouse show, Steve Gibbs does a sensa-
tional job of producing laughs, particularly in the Shoes and Socks sketch, while Jerry Longe performs superbly as the businessman who can't seem to understand what is happening to him. The comedy is about a young man (war hero) who comes to visit his friend (the guy who was saved during the war) and injects turmoil into an otherwise sane existence. Plenty of slapstick, a'ction and a trick ending makes for an entertaining 8how.(M.M.)

We had a house guest this past week—a visitor who was most welcome. She was a lovely young lady, though a bit unorthodox in her behavior. I don't mean to complain, because we certainly were anxious to see her and God knows we were sad to see her leave, but still—let me try to tell you about it. First of all, she kept weinl hours. I mean how many people do you know who get up at 3 a.ni. end want to have conversation or light refreshments? (Actually, that only happened once, but it did occur.) And then follows by rising ^t 6 a.m. and expecting everybody to be up and running around, ready to talk and exercise and have breakfast. And don't let this out please, but it seems she belongs to some kind of nudist colony! Twice I personally caught her fresh out of the bath, barely toweled dried, taking off and racing the entire household naked as a radishi And laughing every inch of the way, doing her version of broken field running, eluding capture with all th« expertise of aprp. Her table habits were a bit odd, too. She knew about forks and spoons 'out used them as ornaments to be held in one hand while eating with the fingers of the other. I can't complain that she was a fussy eater. Hardly that—plenty of yogurt, turkey, cereal (one at a time) pleased her. I did have a hard time finding her favorite breakfast item—a boggle. Turned out it was a lot like a bagel, so we were able to substitute without incident. Toasted, that is. I couldn't criticize that, could you? A toasted boggle for breakfast? She was gracious about all the company who came to see her. I know they were all strangers to her, but she spoke to them all, demonstrated her vocabulary and her tricks ^nd in general behaved admirably. I must admit she was a boring traveler in the car. Once she was situated in her seat, she usually dropped off to sleep in the middle of a sentence. When awake she was amusing, sometimes singing an original song known only to her. One brief hour during her visit included a shopping excm^ sion. She selected a number of items she thought she ought to have, but was amiable later about returning them to original displays. One was chosen to actually buy and she was reasonable about it alL She did, however, differ with her mother in the matt«- of dresses. It was suggested that a simple little outfit might become her. She protested in favor of a ruffled, lacy and fancy thing. A compromise was reached, neither choice purchased. Again, she was reasonable. In the matter of vintinjg relatives and behaving like a welcome gueet, ahe was a true champion. Lunch at the table of her great-grandparents was delightful, although she did demca>strate a method of trying gefilte fish fw the firs t time that was unusual. Nobody present had ever seen anyone palm a fishball and bring it straight to the mouth for a bite. 1 guess it was okay, though a bit hard to hold. Not at all hard to hear was her clearly pronounced "Bobie" and "Zadie." By now you know the nudist guest was our I8-month-old Julia, who brought her mother for a too-brief visit. You probably also understand how vary quiet it was in the house after she left. Although we found tiny fingerprints everywhere and boggle crumbs in odd places and it took several hours to restore ordo-, we'd trade it all for more Julia. Her grandpa would like to wake every day to the loud clear call "PaPa" and her grandma loved the sound of "GammiL" A peraon forgeta, from one baby to another, how vary special each stage of growth can be We hadn't had such a smaD one around for BOOM years. The only thing we coukl critiain about Julia is her fddress. Living in New York puts entireiy too many miles between a grandchild and her grandpatantsl

No Fault divorce is ^ travesty for the abused woman seeking a divorce, attorney John Slowiaczek told a group of women Wednesday during the American Affairs luncheon at the Highland Country Club. Over 60 women attended the annual event which is sponsored by Hadassah, National Council of Jewish Women, B'nai B'rith Women and ORT. The luncheon was planned this year by Hadassah and chaired by Dr. Patricia New-
man. Working with Dr. Newman were Beth Fried' man, Diane Malashock, Carol Nathan, and Robin Spindler. Mr. Slowiaczek explained that with No Fault divorce, the attorney is precluded tnxra the mention of violence as a reason for divorce and that the past cannot be used
aa a basis for aUinony. Kathy Schinker, MS, director of domestic violence for the United Catholic Social Services and its shelter for battered women, said they have a four-week program which offers abused women and their children an alternative to staying in an abusive aituation.
Gary Hill for UJA United Jewish Appeal representative Gary Hill of Lincoln described the present-day needs of Jews in other parts of the world to about 60 men attAiding a Federation Campaign dinner Wednesday night at the Highland Country Club. Mr. Hill, who is on the national campaign cabinet of UJA, personally visited several countries in North Africa and Eastern Europe and spoke with many of the direct beneficiaries of Jewish aid. He pointed out that in Morocco, for example, no Jewish child attends a school that is not paid for by Jewish money, and that in Vienna, Jewish education is provided for children awaiting emigration to Israel and that teachers are hired to aerve these youngsters whether they are there three weeks or six months.
