Harry Allen writes from Israel
Nightline illuminates ' The television show Nightline broadcast a series of programs from Israel last week with the stated intent of iUuminating the Palestinian/Israeli conflict. Host Ted Koppel made it clear that the broadcasts would accomplish netting except bring Palestinians together with Israelis and give them an opportunity to talk under the auspices of a moderator. The programs included interviews with Palestinians and Israelis, a variety of background pieces, and a forum in a theater attended by both groups. The show appeared to be balanced, giving both sides opportunities to present viewpoints and contradict statements. Mr. Koppel demonstrated that a television showgiven enough time and study—can make a significant contribution to understanding. There should be more responsible programming like this Nightline effort and lesser dependence on the evening news programs. Despite the seeming fairness of the presentation, there was one point that I think should have been brought up. During one of the background segments, the fleeing of the Palestinian Arabs from present-day Israel could have given the impression that the Jews took the land from the Arabs. This impression overlooks the role of the Jewish National Fund in land purchases in acquisitions covering a span of. many decades—way beyond the 40-year history of the Jewish State. According to The Jewish National Pnnd, a new book by Walter Lehn with Uri Davis, The Fund purchased its first land in 1905; by 1948 it held 3.5 per cent of the lands of Palestine, and by 1967, 17 per cent. One of the more interesting points in the book is that much of the land had been owned by absentee owners in various parts of the world and not by the people living on the land. Another interesting point is that the first detailed public indication of the extent of JNF land purchases in the West Bank was provided by a report on Radio Israel on 23 March 1976. In the report, JNF director general Shimon Ben-Shemesh, Jordanian law stipulates the death penalty for Arabs caught selling land to Israelis. "Nevertheless, there is today a large number of Arabs who are willing to sell their lands to the JNF," he added. The major factor which influences Arabs and institutions to sell their lands to Jews is the complete secrecy under which the transactions are conducted. "Since the death penalty awaits every seller of land, the JNF has been careful; to this day, not even a single seller's name has been made public." Now, we know what all of those little blue boxes are for. Look at yours and read: "Jewish National Fund Redeems and Reclaims the Land of Israel." P.S. While writing this editorial, I received a call from Tasha L. Ballou, director, Jews for Responsible Journalism in Redmond, Washington. She alerted me to the fact that one of the Palestinians on the Nightline show was klentified incorrectly as having an official affiliation with a Red Cross type organaation. Perhaps, we'll,hear more about this later on.

Play arouses controversy By Dsvid Kantor BONN , (JTA) Christian-Jewish relations here may have suffered, observers say, because of the performance in Munich last week of a highly controversial play critical of the Vatican's role during the Holocaust. "Der Stellvertereter (The Deputy)," written 25 years ago by German playwright Rolf Hochhuth, got a mixed greeting when it opened at the Prinzregenten Theater in Munich, the Bavarian capital, part of "Jewish Culture Week" sponsored by
the municipality. Dozens of spectators protested with jeers. Other members of the audience shouted down the protesters. The play attacks Pope Pius XII and the Roman Catholic Church for remaining silent while Jews were being exterminated, and saddles the church with moral guilt tantamount to complicity. Hochhuth's drama stirred fierce emotions when first performed a quarter centiury ago. Its revival in CathoUc Bavaria was protested by the local archbishop. Cardinal Friedrich Wetter.
It's been a beautiful spring in Israel. The promise of heavy winter rains has been fulfilled—never was the countryside greener nor the fields of wild flowers more lovely. The mimosa bushes are heavy with bright yellow flowers; the red poppies splash the hillsides and the fields of uds and tulips carpet Uie innumerable municipal gardens across the landscape. Pesach has come and gone. The country goes on half-time during the holiday, with hundreds of thousands of people off on vacations or picnics. The resort hotels in EUat and the kibbutz guest houses were booked solid (by Israelis and German tourists, not American Jews, sadly). The Christian Embassy brought 3,500 people here for their own "Zionist Congress." Christians seem less fearful than Jews. On the economic front, banks report their biggest profit ever, the trade deficit has been lowered, the shekel remains steady, exports increased markedly this year, and the economy has been affected very little, except for tourism, by the rash of publicity. 3adly, our basketball team lost the European Cup in the final'minute of play to Italy. Our NBA rejects folded out before Italy's NBA rejects and that wi s the difference. Immediately after Pesach, the Morrocan Jewish community celebrated the Mimouna festival marking its end. Mimouna is an ethnic orgy of good food, arts and crafts, singing and dancing and general good fellowship in which the rest of the country cheerfuUy joins. I don't know how many hundreds of thousands there were in Jerusalem's Sacher Park, not to mention the festivities elsewhere. The Sephardim are so much more tolerant and fun-loving than ' us austere Ashkenazi folk. Holocaust Day got underway with a moving and tasteful ceremony st Yad Vashem. It was not overly long even with speeches by President Chaim Herzog, Prime Minister Shamir, the Chief Rabbi, the President of the World Union of Ghetto Fighters and singing by the head cantor of the army. On Holocaust Remembrance Day, the sirens sound at 8 a.m., and the country comes to a standstill for two minutes. People halt their cars and get out; office work stops and people remain silent—a remarkable achievement for Israelis. Yom Ha'Atzmaut ceremonies will take place nationwide. There are gala concerts by the Philharmonic in both Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, a 40-year retrospective in Ramat Gan is sold out, national flags line the highways and for the event the clothing stores are displaying only "bhw and white" clothing. Oh yes, the disturbancee in the territories continue. Some days Uttle happens and on others, much more. Last Shabbat, we walked through the old city to the Kotel. To those of us here the whole matter has become kind of routinized. The country is divided over what to do about the Arabs and peace, the arguments over the incidents at Beita will go_ on for a long time. Ellen Goodman, the Boston Globe columnist, wrote a wonderful article last year about her reactions as a child to her father's defeat in an election. She waa devastated— but her father, she noted, got up the next morning, put 0|i his clothes and went to work. That's what the Isradis are doing—getting up every morning, putting on their clothes and going to work. It's been a beautiful spring-wish more of you were here.

IDF search operation By Hugh Orgel TEL AVIV (JTA) - The Israel Defense Force is conducting a large scale-search and destroy operation in Uie southern Lebanon s^ciuity zone and an area just north . of it aimed against terrorist bases used in recent infiltration attempts. The operation, which l}egan Monday night, involves infantry and tank forces estimated at between 600 and 2,000 troops. The IDF is supported by units of the Israel-backed South Lebanon Army. At the same time, Israeli air force planes have been flying low-level surveillance missions over Patestinian refugee camps in the Tyre and Sidon areas of southern Lebancm, .and Israeli naval craft are patrolling off the southern Lebanon coast. IDF artillery was reported to be sheDing several points within the security zone and beyond it. According to unof&ial reports, tiie operation was expected to lost from 24 to 48 hours. The first official announcementf by the IDF at midnight Monday said that
"the IDF action will end when the searches are concluded." The area imder search, called the Arkoub, is hilly, sparsely populated ground south of Lebanon's Bekaa Valley and near the Syrian border. The area, which has been used as a training ground for terrorist and guerrilla forces, extends from the security zone to the western slopes of Mount Hermon. It was once known as "Fatahland" because of the massive presence of Palestine Liberation Organization fighters there in the early 1960s. Now the terrorists appear to be returning. According to the Israeli authorities, 16 terrorist attacks have been launched from the area in recent months. The IDF annoimcement on the maneuvers, considered unusual while an apttation Qf this kind was still under way, came after NBC News reported Monday evening that 2,000 Israeli troops had entered southern Lebanon. It was not immediatdy known whether NBC bod violated censor-
ship rules. Although military sources admitted the operation was large scale, they stressed it was not as massive as foreign news reports suggested. Reports from the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon) which patrols a zone in southern Lebanon north of the security zone, seemed to confirm this.

Demjanjuk sentenced to death By David Landau JERUSALEM (JTA) John Demjanjuk, the Treblinka death camp guard known as "Ivan the Terrible," was sentenced to death Monday by the three-judge Jerusalem district court. "One thousand deaths would not atone for your crimes," Judge Zvi Tal said to the guilty man, reading from the unanimous sentence of the bench. The 68-year-old Demjanjuk was found guilty on April 18 of crimes against the Jewish people, war crimes, crimes against humanity and crimes agajnst a persecuted people. The court decided on the basis of evidence that the retired automobile worker from Cleveland, Ohio, was the Treblinka guard who

operated the gas chambers where some 800,000 Jews perished. He was convicted under the 1960 Nazi and Nazi Collaborators Law, which carfiee the death penalty. Under Israeli law, appeal to the Supreme Court is mandatory. If the conviction and sentence are upheld, the sentence will be carried out in about six months, by hangu\g. Demjanjuk would be the second war criminal executed under the law. Adolf Eichmann was hanged in Israel on May 31, 1962. In arguments before sentencing Monday, State Attorney Yonah Blattman maintained that the death penalty was mandatory under the Nazi Collaborators Lsiw. The court preferred not to accept that interpretation. It agreed with Blattman that given the conviction and the nature of the crimes, its imposition of the death penalty was discretionary. Defense counsel declined to argue for a lesser sentence on grounds that to do so would imply an admission of guilt. Demjanjuk roaintaineid throughout his J 6-month trial that he was a victim of mistaken identity. He continued to insist his innocence at the sentencing. Before sentencing, Demjanjuk again said be bad
back pains and wished to remain in his cell like last Monday, when the verdict was read. But the court insisted that he be present in court to hear the sentence pronounced. Addressing the court briefly, Demjanjuk said, ' 'Today you are to pass sentence on 'Ivan the Terrible' but in fact you will not be sentencing 'Ivan the Terrible' because you did not try him... You tried another man, an innocent man, John Demjanjuk." But the death sentence was unanimous. The crimes for which Demjanjuk was convicted cannot be forgiven. They have no statute of limitation, presiding Judge Dov Levin said. "They are timeless ... as though Treblinka still existed, as though the blood of whole villages of Jewish people were still seething... and 'Ivan the Terrible' was still standing, merciless, slashing off breasts, cleaving open stomachs." When the death penalty was pronounced, spectators in the courtroom applauded and cheered. Demjanjuk's son, John Jr., who was at his father's side during moet of the trial, reacted bitterly. The judges are the "real criminals" in the trial, he said. The sentence shamed Israeli justice and the six million Holocaust victims, be added.

By Oil Sedan JERUSALEM (JTA) Ted Koppel, host of ABC's "NightUne" program, came to Israel last week with a television summit in mind. What he got instead was Israelis snd Palestinians facing his cameras in what turned out to be less than a dialogue. In fact, they didn't even shake hands. If the five-part "Nightline" received good ratings at home while becoming a news item itself, it didn't generate much interest among ordinary Israelis. "Frankly, I don't know who that Koppel is, and I don't give a damn," said Sammy, owner of a toy stand and presumably speaking for the Israeli "man-in-the-street." Negotiations fell through to have "Nightline" appear on Israeli television. Yair Stem, head of Israel Television's news division, told the Jerusalem Poet Monday that the program did not have the same interest for Israelis as it did for American audiences. "We have Shamir and Peres and the Palestinians on television all the time. For us, they are no novelty," he said, referring to Premier Yitzhak Shamir and Foreign Minister Shimon Peres. Koppel apparently tried to follow in the footsteps of the dean of American TV newsmen, Walter Cronkite, whose interviews more than a decade ago generated the
15%/
pubUc momentum for Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's historic visit to Jerusalem. Koppel envisioned a TV show that would bring together Hosni Mubarak, Egypt's current president, King Hussein of Jordan and Israeli Foreign Minister Peres. ABC found out quickly that even Ted Koppel could not succeed where Secretary of State George Shultz had so recently fsLed. The highlight of the week's programming was the three-hour "Nightline" program beamed live from Jerusalem last Wednesday, featuring a debate between Palestinians and Israelis. At the end, the Palestinian participants rushed to leave the stage, lest they be forced to shake hands with their Israeli counterparts. Dedi Zucker, of the dovish Citizens Rights Movement, and Halm Ramon did in fact extend their hands to Dr. Haidar Abd A-Shafi of Gaza and Dr. Hanan MikailMashrani of Ramallah. But they were ignored. About 600 Israelis and Palestinians filled a Jerusalem theater early Wednesday to air their differences hi front of American television cameras. The Palestinians repeatedly made the point, however, that they were not there for a dialogue but only to express their personal opinions to the American public.

I said that's something to look forward to. ols It's also such an awesome responsibility that maybe it's a good thing we can't see into the future. To really picture wliat lies ahead could scare the socks off any normal young womani The woman who isn't yet a mom but who plans to bec(une one very soon is somebody else to think about this Mother's Day. Her worries multiply with each passing day. She must have concerns about the kind of mother she will be. When she sees other people doing things with children ^e probably thinks "I'll never do that." Let me tell you a little secret lady: you probably will, and furthermore, you may even do worse! Remember this—we all make mistakes, and many are made in the name of motherhood! I 'm thinking too, at this time, of a darling young mother who celebrated that special Sunday last year with an adorable little daughter. This year, l^inehora, that little girl has twin baby brothers. Now that's the way to make a real holiM3txi4"U"iiiMiU«rd 89S-6938 day out of it. That's also enough to make somebody wonder how they'll ever make it to next year, never mind how they'll be wise enough and patient enough to get it all right. There are so many different kinds of ladies who qualify for recognition here; I doubt that it's possible to mention them all. But this much I know is possible: I can tell the world that very few people in my life have had such an influence and effect on me as my mother. Just by being the CanKmcw C'liiA/nc kind and generous person she is, by always thinking of LUNCH & DINNER somebody else first, of how she could be of use to another We accept All Major Credil Cards. human being, of making each new project something worth.

Kirkpatrick predict no conference
Volunteers ring in Super Sunday Scores of volnnteers showed up at Super Sunday headquarters in the Richman-Gordman headquarters building last Sunday to make telephone calls for the Jewish Federatioo of Omaha's annual campaign. Upper left, chairmen Beth and Morris Friedman in front of the mural designed and prepared by Larry Herman; upper right, Carole Widman dons giant-size sunglasses to demonstrate the theme of the day to George Schapiro; lower left, &mdra Topper briefs ihe callers, and at right, Harold and Phyllis Zabin dial for dollars.
By Howard Rosenberg WASHINGTON (JTA)Jeane Kirkpatrick, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, recently predicted that an international peace conference on the Middle East will never occur and that the ArabIsraeli conflict will continue for the "foreseeable futura" Anyone who believes that forum could lead to resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict "should be sentenced to spend one full year at the United Nations," Kirkpatrick said in a speech to the National Press Club'."' -As envisioned in Secretary of State George Shuitz's peace initiative, the conference was to have occurred in mid-April, two weeks prior to the start of negotiations on autonomy fcr Palestinians on the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The conference would be comprised of the five permanoit members of the U.N. Secu-
rity Council and Middle East countries, but could not impose a solution. "Violence has been endemic for centuriea" in the Middle East, Kirkpatrick noted. "I think that it's too bad that the promised land didn't turn out to be on the border between Canada and the United States or off the shores of New Zealand or some such feasible place. We may just be stuck with the continuation of relatively low levels of violence for the f<H«seeable future," she added. Kirkpatrick, who now teaches at Georgetown University and is a national columnist, said it is wrong to fault Israel as the "principal obstacle to a Middle East conference." For example, she said the United States opposes the Soviet Union's insistence that the conference have the power to impose a solution "on the basis of some majwity vote."

Border dispute
By David Landau JERUSALEM(JTA) The United States is working urgently to achieve an llth-hour compromise agreement between Israel and Egypt before their dispute over Taba is resolved by binding arbitration. Abraham Sofaer, the U.S. State Department's legal adviser, met with Israeli officials here Sunday, after
:scr \\50013nuiU5
talks he had in Cairo. He reportedly has come up with a plan that would give Egypt sovereignty over Taba, a half-acre strip of beach near Eilat on the Red Sea. But, according to the plan, Israel would continue to operate two vacation resorts built there by Israeli entrepreneurs.
Shampoo 4 Sel Jb M
The resorts are the Avia Sonesta, a luxury hotel, and the Rafi Nelson Holiday Village. Sofaer reportedly has suggested that Egypt and Israel own the hotels jointly throu^ a hokling company. The initial response he had from Israel's Foreign Ministry seemed favorable, but the Prime Minister's Office was less enthusiastic Taba is the most important of 14 disputed sites along the Israel-Sinai border. Arbitration hearings were concluded in Geneva last month and an international panel of five jurists is presently deliberating its dedaion. The panel has 90 days, but informed sources say it will issue its ruling by the end of this month.
