Jewish Floridian and Shofar of Greater Hollywood Friday, December 16,1977 Editor's Corner A Change for the Future "It is possible to take care of the future only if we examine the ever-changing realities, not with the eyes of yesterday and the day before, but with an insight into the stream of change." David Ben-Gurion We speak of the future a great deal, the future of Jewish heritage and Jewish culture, the future of the State of Israel. No one can say for certain what the future will bring, but it is a universal truth that the future brings change. It is not enough merely to sit back and wait for those changes to occur. As every successful businessman knows, we must make those changes ourselves. On Sunday evening, contributors of $5,000 and more to the Combined Jewish Appeal-Israel Emergency Fund campaign of the Jewish Federation of South Broward, will gather at Temple Beth Shalom in Hollywood for the 1978 CJA-IEF annual Shomrai Dinner. The event marks the official kick of f of the campaign. Those who attend, who give to their fullest capability, are performing a mitzvah for the future of the whole Jewish people, as are those who will participate in the 1978 CJA-IEF campaign whatever their financial situation and capability. We urge everyone who can,to attend Sunday night's dinner. It will be a message to the people of Israel, the Jews of our community and the world that we will not allow our future to be less than it can be, less than it should be, less than it must be. The war against terror must be fought by all of us. The battle for freedom from want and fear is everyone's battle; and, when the victory is won, it will be everyone's victory. We Are One. The Waldheim Goof The upcoming conference in Cairo should be viewed as another step forward in the long road to a com- prehensive peace settlement in the Middle East, a step that follows the successful talks between Egyptian Presi- dent Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin in Jerusalem. That is why many found it difficult to understand why it took the Carter administration so long to agree to go to the meeting along with Egypt and Israel. Harder to understand than the U.S. delay to join Israel and Egypt in peace talks was the surprise an- nouncement by United Nations Secretary General Kurt Waldheim after he said that he will have a repre- sentative at Cairo that there should be a meeting at the UN of all parties to the Mideast dispute after the Cairo conference and before the Geneva conference is held. The Israelis rightfully rejected this saying with Sadat the next step after Cairo is the Geneva conference. UN ^tiaar "e ^^ tit ^ grsSSSSSSSHS Was Waldheim acting on his own in an effort to get the UN into the act, or was he acting for the Soviet Union which has been trying to wreck the Sadat initiatives? Sadat himself outlined the Soviet reasoning most clearly when he told the Egyptian Peoples Assembly: "The Soviets wanted us to live in a no-war, no-peace situation because as they analyzed it, they thought they would not have a role in the Middle East if peace were established." Instead of trying to throw a monkeywrench into the operations, Waldheim should have been using his office to try to persuade the Soviet Union, Syria, Jordan and Lebanon to go to Cairo. How Dare They Make Peace? UNLESS PLANS have changed, by the time this is in print Egypt's Ambassador Ashraf Ghorbal will have ap- peared in an address before the Synagogue Council of America in New York. I remember a political series published several years ago detailing Ghorbal's extensive anti-Semitic activities in Argentina and my own vitriolic comment on it. A letter to me from the Egyptian Embassy in Wash- ington vigorously denied the truth of the series. I have kept the letter in my files all this time, and on every occasion that I have come across it, accidentally or otherwise, I could sense the aura of the enemy bursting forth from the envelope. NOW, Ghorbal not only ap- HHMii.i.in.iii Leo Mindlin pears in an address before the Synagogue Council of America, but suddenly it is reported that he is an old and steadfast, if secret, friend of Rabbi Henry Siegman, executive vice presi- dent of the Council. Surely, this is millennial. Or is -& OT^V it? Shakespeare wonders in King Henry VI, "For how can tyrants safely govern home/ Unless abroad they purchase great alliance?" This is the principle that motivated the Arab leaders in their Algerian meeting last week. They see a threat to their hege- monies in the puissant possibility of peace between Israel and Egypt. I can understand their politics, even if they are para- doxical politics. THE WHOLE western world is changing because of the vast migration into it of Middle Eastern and African populations a migration that is causing the kind of human relations challenge mainly we, in the U.S., seem best to be meeting because, for gener- ations, we have had so much more experience with it than, say, the Europeans, who are only in the last decade beginning to bear what often is the frank burden of it. At the same time, there is a disproportionate movement of import dollars, pounds and marks from west to east that is far more disruptive to the sur- vival index of the western nations than the movement of the peoples into the western midst, difficult as that in itself has been for the west to bear. In geopolitical terms, this means that the Middle Eastern and African nations, which ironically we continue to call "emerging" and/or "have-not" nations, in fact have us on the ropes with their material wealth and indifference to the needs of their own people. THEY ARE willing to suck out our economic bone marrow through their export oil policies. They unsettle our social and political structure by en- couraging the emigration of populations into our midst that they'd rather not commit them- selves to support. On the other hand, they are unwilling to tolerate western Continued on Page 13 Vanessa Redgrave's PLO Push Vanessa Redgrave, who is currently starring with Jane Fonda in Julia, a film about the Nazi era, based on Lilian Hell- man's memoir Pentimento, appears to have taken up a new cause the destruction of the Jewish State. "She told me Israel has no right to exist," comedian Joey Adams reports. "She said that as long as Israel exists, there will never be peace in the Middle East so it must be destroyed." ACCORDING TO Adams, Redgrave - who is known for her radical left, Trotskyite political views telephoned him the other day to seek the assistance in promoting a "documentary" on the Arab struggle against Israel, a film she claimed she had produced with Yasir Arafat, chief of the Palestine Liberation Organization. Adams, who has helped raise some $200 million for Israel, was stunned. "1 couldn't believe it," he recalled. She ob- viously didn't know who I was or what I believed in, or she wouldn't have called me in the first place. At first, I thought she was kidding or something. I asked her if her film, which she said she wanted to get on tele- vision, was balanced; if it presented both sides of the Middle East issue. "Oh no," she said, "there is only one side Israel is a racist, fascist state and it has to go." IRONICALLY, Redgrave, as Julia, plays a Jewish woman who sacrifices her life fighting the Nazis. "And she told me the Jews she might have said the Zionists helped Hitler during the war," Adams said. "She must be very sick." Redgrave could not be reached for com- ment.
