Page 10-A The Jewish Floridian and Shofar of Greater Hollywood Friday, November 18,1977 Carter WJC Talk Seen Slap At Sen. Baker Charge I 65 Families Move to Outpost | Continued from Page 1; "we must not let it slip away." CARTER WARNED, "As difficult as peace through negotiations will be in the Middle East, the alternatives of stalemate and conflict is in- finitely worse. It is time to use the mutual strength and the unique partnership between Israel and the United States and the influence of you and others who have a deep interest and concern to guarantee a strong and permanently secure Israel at peace with her neigh- bors and able to contribute her remendoi. resources toward the realization <>f human rights and a >etter and more peaceful life throughout the world." Interpretation and reaction varied widely among those inter- viewed by the Jewish Tele- graphic Agency immediately following the address. Some were inclined to see the President's main thrust as directed towards Senate Republican Minority Leader Howard Baker of Ten- nessee, who had told the WJC the day before that the Carter Administration is playing "Russian roulette" with Israel. SOME JEWISH communal leaders mainly thought it repre- sented a challenge to them and saw only nuances of improve- ment in "trigger words" such as the West Bank settlements and "legitimate rights" of Pales- tinians that the President reiterated in his address. "This speech does not change the basic situation," a well-placed Jewish leader observed. "If this was intended to change our attitude, it won't have that effect." One highly respected observer saw the President trying to correct "the bad feeling that has been created" by his policy. In this connection, he noted the President's emphasis on con- tinued support of Israel and his "preference" against a Pales- tinian state. "However," his observer added, "his use again of legitimate rights can create mis- conceptions in the Arab mind and thus present difficulties on the road to peace. On the other hand, the President's use of milder phrasing about Israeli settlements by emphasizing 'civilian' and not calling them 'obstacles to peace' is an im- provement." IN HIS address, Carter listed the three key issues in Mideast diplomacy on the establishment of effective security measures, coupled to Israeli withdrawal from occupied territories and agreement on final, secure and recognized borders; the normal- ization of political, economic and cultural relations between Israel and the Arabs, and a resolution of the Palestinian problem. Regarding the Palestinian problem, Carter spoke of the need to respect the "legitimate rights" of the Palestinians but reiterated an earlier announced position that "we ourselves do not prefer an independent Pales- tinian state on the West Bank."

"WE MAY be facing now the best opportunity for a perma- nent Middle East peace settle- ment in our lifetime," Carter said. "We must not let it slip away. Well-meaning leaders in Israel, in the Arab nations, and indeed throughout the world are making an unprecedented and concerted effort to resolve deep- seated differences in the Middle East. "This is not a time for in- temperance or partisanship. It is a time for strong and responsible leadership and a willingness to explore carefully and thought- fully the intention of others." He asked Israel to dispel its distrust of the Arab states and not resign themselves to un- ending conflict in the Mideast. "With such an attitude of resig- nation, Israel would never have been created, and with such an attitude peace would never be achieved." Carter also stated that "much still needs to be done to remove the suspicions that exist in Israel about Arab in- tentions." He noted, however, that the Arab states involved in the conflict with Israel "are in- creasingly willing to work towards peace treaties" and no longer "dispute Israel's right to live within secure and recognized borders." TEL AVIV (JTA) Three groups of settlers com- prising 65 families moved into the Beth El army camp north of Ramallah and into the abandoned Nabi-Saleh police compound northwest of Ramallah on the West Bank. IT WAS indicated that these will be the last settlements for the time being in the Judaea and Samaria regions because the government wants to avoid further friction with the United States. ^STAGECOACH I Featuring On His Fabulous Organ In The Coachman's Lounge DAVID CASS0N (Tuesday thru Sunday mmmmmmm 4520 W.
