Drama of Jewish resettlement unfolds By MoRia MaUiM Tears of joy aa famOiaa were reunited... Happy children singing Hebrew songs... Amaaement at American-elyte a^artmaats...

"One of my relatives was a young boy, now he is a grown man with his own son," said Maya Tayter. Within mhiutes, re-unificaticm took place. A swarm of greeters engulfed those entering the tei^ minal; balloons ware given to the chQdrm and flowers to the women, but thne were bear hugs and kisses for alL A cameraman frmn Channel 7 draped the acene with the light from his camera nd tUs witter eagcrfy aoo^t out pfaofo opportiaiitiee to help tofi-tUt nderaodaticflhutratioii (rf similar hqipenings all over America.

Israeli sees 'disaster' in continuing drought
Linking Jackson-Vanik News McounU over the past several weeks had indieato4 ^l* ^''^ct'''^^'<><>'> ^°i''<'t*''* P'*'^ ^^<'^"> AfowiAr and Tel Avhr. AgnMMot between El Al and Aeroflot was reached % Decainbar md all of us were anticipating a starting "date earljr in 1990. Direct ffi^Us betweeo the Soviet UaioD and Israel would gmtly siiqiUfy the departure of Soviet Jews and their Mtranoe into laraaL Direct iii^ts were looked iqx» as the Soviet Union's eaqaresaipmrf good will along with ita ftilfjUmwit ofeasing the nstri^ions <RI Jewish emigration. Withttus undetphming of complianre on the part of the Soviets leading to easing of teoaions and eassr aooeas to IOTMI, Congress anticipated providing • waiver vi the itduoBtSu^ Amendment trade sanrtiwis. The waiver wMdd mdn it possible tm the Soviet Union to enjojr favond na^on trade loivilegee with the UnitedWftes. TUa status is somtthing the Sovi^ Union tuft-wanted for a long time and is fe neeessary component for the devdopment in the U.S.S.R. of a healthy Economy. Thus, it is with great soiprise to find out that the Soviet Unicm has gone bade on ito agreement and no longer te willing to oooperato with lanel on direct fUf^ts. What b^uld have caused the Soviet Unicm to change itamfaid? Could it be pressure from Arab nations? , Certafoly.tboee countries wbo are not friendly toward Israel see no advantage to having hundreds of thoutoids, porhapa millions, iM vitality and strength to a MiddBe East democracy. t i^tiiitriikenelnies of Tsrael obviously put the squeeze ^nttieSo^det Union pronytingOarbaohev and company to have second thoughts about cooperation with Israd. The ij^eetion now ia as follows: What Irin convince the Soviet Union that then is mote to gain by cooperating with Israel and tho United States than in budding under to the pressure of Middle East oil sheiks? The answer, of course, is Jackson-Vanik. Congresa should exert preesuie on the Soviet Union making it daar that no wavisr will be issued untfl diract ffigbto an eetabliahtd with larael ao that Jewiah emigration can proceed without inmedimento. Oorbachev is aware ci the fact that a waiver requires congressional approval so it is in his country's best intarest to fulfill ito commitment to El Al and Jewish refugees.

ByMoRbMalfaM Menachem Parimutter told ^Maimbnides Society of Omaha last week that the nckt century may prove disastrous for agriculture in the United Statea if drou^^t conditicms continue. Mr. Perlmutter, introduced as the "Wizard of the Negev." tokl the 66 health professionals meeting at die Highland Coontry Chib that the United Statae shouM foUow the lead of Israel in devekptag dr^p inigatton terhnfapHW, "In Israel, we form with brackish water a drop at a time hitting the roote of a plant without losing moisture to the soil" He traced the history of modern agriculture in Is-
rad from 1948 frhen the new SUte "was given a Ufa expectancy of six months." He explained that despito the hostile environment created by Arab and Moslem neighbors Israel haa defended ita country and has Uossomed as a leading agricultural producer. "Today, more than 60 coontrioa receive agricultural knaw-how from Israel and the list is growing daOy," he added. Mr. Pshnntter said that Israel may be the only country in the woHd when the dnert grows smaller rather tlian larger. "Hunger is a bigger threat than the Atomic bomb," he streesed.
To the EdltOR What would your reactkn be if the United States Seoh ato qisnt a week debating a raaolutian to make a day in April as one to remember th^"genockle" of a people and then in affset daCMtad that raaohitlon? What would your reaction be if one <rf the argnmento . raised against that resohitirai was that the event happened many yean ago? Or if another argument against it was that some historians disagm about all of the facts and definitions (La. was it reaQy X qnllian; does it mket the def^tion of ganockle created in the Genocide Treaty^ What would your reason be if a mi^or argument againat tl|e reeointkn was that one nation was (tended 1^ the reaQbtkn? I hope that reactian would be no leee than disappointment and would be one of outrassl. And I hope that raactkm would not be softened any when yon Isani that the naohitian concerned the Armeidan gtiaddda attd iMt tba JewKah HdlocaiM. I found last week's debate of SJH 212 valry disturbing. But I am even mon disturbed becanae I fear the same argumante may be uaed one day against a reedution to remember the Hok>ca|i8t, I can enviaion some Senator forgetting that the past must be taoi^t so that it never hqipens again to any people and UMrefon refusing to vote for the latter resohitfan becanae the evento happened 50 to 76 yean ago. I can envision some Senator refusfaig to iroto for it because aoms revidonist historians an questkming how many wan killed or even questioning ths existencs of death canqie. I can enviaign aoine Senator arguing that it would be wiae to eOow our moral outrage over a ganockle to be bald hoetage by some blackmailing nation offended by the resolution. I can enviaion those things about a futura reeohition on the Hdocauat because thoss wen the argnoMnto uaed last week on the raisohition on the Armenian genocide. How ironic-Hitler defended hia Final Sohtion for the Jaws partly on the grounds of "Who remamben the AnnniaM?"
