DEC'S San Francisco—"The hippies —our romantic yonnj; -art saying to us parents that our kind Of modernity is old-fashioned and unsatisfactory." a noted Jewish scholar .said here this week, explain:!;;; that the hippies show "an unfamiliar thirst for spirituality and religion." Milton Himmelfnrb. director of the -Jewish Information Service of the American Jewish Committee, who is co-editor of the American Jewish Year Book and a contributing; editor of Commentary magazine, added thai "the.se young people arc telling us that we have foolishly, cleverly, and arrogantly abandoned precisely those values that a human being needs for maintaining his humanity in

Hinmielfarb spoke on "The Values of Jewish Youth Rebellion and Continuity" at the openin;.; session of the annual national executive board --western regional conference meeting of the committee. Three graduate students in San Francisco area made up a panel that commented on Hinimelfarb's conclusions from differing points of view, ranging from religious conformity to secular humanism.

They are telling us to backtrack and recover some of those things that we thought wen? useless ballast, but that we see now were no less essential than those things we retained." On the other hand, Ilimmelfarb pointed out, the New Left is essentially a continuation of the rationalist, radical tradition of the Enlightenment. He added: "But the distinguishing characteristic of the hippie is precisely Romanticism, an outlook and impulse and set of values very different from the Enlightenment and rationalism.

Himnielfarb concluded, but it should enlarge its mission through proselytism -"if only to stir things up." In the panel discussion, Himmclfarb was challenged by Anthony Bernhard. a graduate student in sociology at the University of California at Davis specializing in the area of youth and adolescence, whose doctoral dissertation is on the hippie movement.

Paris (JTA>-French President Charles do Gaulle's severe denunciation both of Israel and the Jewish people stirred sharp critical responses this week among the French people, in Israel and in other countries. The official translation of the French President's comments, released by the French Mission to the United Nations, made it clear that his denunciation went well beyond a political attack
on Israel and that he had impugned t h e Jewish people "through the ages" for having "provoked" and "caused" ill will "in certain countries at certain times." He also told the press conference in Paris that, it was "always feared" that once the Jews "gathered on the site of their former grandeur," meaning Palestine,- "they might come to change into a fervent and conquering ambition, the very touching hopes they had for 19 centuries."

Boston (JTA)—Black nationalists who set!: to drive whites from the struggle for racial justice, and Jews looking for excuses to withdraw from the civil rights movement, were sharply criticized here, by Kenneth B. Clark, of New York. N e g r o rights leader, and Rabbi Arthur J. Lelyveld. president of the American Jewish C o n g r e s s . They joined in condemning "isolationists in both camps" who bciieve Jews and Negroes must now "go it alone." They spoke at a meeting of the national governing council of the AJC here. In urging that Jews concern themselves "not so much with anti-Semitism as with the social injustices that cause racial Gnd religious tension," Rabbi Lelyveld declared: "We do not protect our Jewish future by abandoning our Jewish principles. Those who seek to save their skins may end up losing not only their skins but also their souls." Opposing Vi«'w
Rabbi Lelyveld was apparently taking issue with Bertram H. Gold, executive director of the American J e w i s h Committee, who has called for a Jewish coalition with the Negro middle class to combat anti-white hostility, including anti-Semitism. "This is the old-line approach to anti-Semitism, which seeks to overcome it by arguing it down," R a b b i Lelyveld said.
TEL AVIV OTA)—Jordanians authorities were accused by Defense Minister Moshe Dayan this week of deliberately delaying the return of the body of an Israeli pilot shot down over Jordan territory on November 21 so that it would be too ldte for an autopsy to reveal evidence of mutilation. The p i l o t was downed when Israeli jets were 6ent into action against a con-
Jerusalem Views Voiced by Dutch Amsterdam (JTA)—Dr. Josef Luns, the Foreign Minister, informed P a r 1 i a ment that the Dutcli Government had notified Israel that Holland favored the internationalization of Jerusalem and placement of its holy places iinder international control. He said the Dutch Government had expressed its opposition to Israel's incorporation of East Jerusalem into its capital. Dr. Luns also reported he had discussed the possibilities of an Israeli-Arab agreement with Israel and so me of the Arab states.
"My own p r o p o s a l is to enter into an alliance with those who are just as angry with injustice and inequality as I am." Our task is not merely to promote harmony between middleclass Jews and the deprived Negro masses, but rather to build a society that will eliminate poverty and injustice and c l o s e the 'affluence gap' between white and black in America. Preoccupation of o t h e r agencies may be with ameliorating anti-Semitism. Our emphases must be on the social problems that generate it."
Islacl; Dr. Clark told the AJC lenders: "Those black nationalists who seek to preempt the civil rights struggle for themselves are among the most pathetic victims of t h e virulence of American racism. "If I were white, I should consider it absurd that anyone could tell me that, by virtue of my color, I am disqualified in asserting and working for Jewish and human dignity. I would consider myself demeaned if I were intimidated into removing m y s e I f from this struggle by black or white racists,"

Jordanian authorities said the pilot was found dead but reports here indicate that he came down alive and was attacked, murdered and mutilated by Jordanian civilians before army regulars c o u l d reach him. Israel Army Chief of Staff Yitzhak Rabin disclosed in London that the pilot had been murdered but said it was not always in Israel's interests to publicize Arab atrocities. Gen. D a y a n made his accusation when informed by International Red Cross Representative L o r e n Marty that the Jordanians had laid down conditions for return of the body. Israeli authorities ordered suspension of the program for reunion of West Bank Arab families because of the Jordan Government's refusal to return to Israel the body of the Israel pilot. Efforts to secure the return of the body, made through the International Red Cross, have been unavailing.

Soviet Bombers in Egypt Seen As 'New Element of Concern1 Jerusalem (JTA)—A Foreign Ministry spokesman warned this week that the presence of Soviet Tupolev heavy bombers in Egyptian skies, piloted by Russians, was a new element in the Middle East situation that should be viewed by the Western powers with as much concern as it is viewed by Israel. He referred to the reported "goodwill" flight of 16 Russian jet bombers over Cairo which observers consider a morale-booster for the Egyptians and a demonstration by the Soviets that they can bring their airpower to bear in a local Middle East conflict if they wish to. In London the Manchester Guardian said that the Soviet air force visit to Egypt may be part of a "war of nerves designed to reinforce the diplomatic pressures which are being brought to bear on both Israel and the UAR to accept a compromise." The paper said that the aircraft demonstrated also that facilities for Soviet air power were readily available in Egypt should the Russians decide to take the Arab side in any new Middle East conflict. General Dayan said that within a year the Arabs would have the same number of tanks and planes as they had prior to the June war and that some of these "will be of a better type" than their pre-June equipment. He said a renewal of hostilities had been made "rather possibje" by the speed of Arab rearmament by the Soviets, which, he said, had been faster than expected.
Washington, D.C. (JTA) — Forty-sis members of Congregation Solel of Highland Park, Illinois, flew here this week on a "pilgrimage for peace" led by Rabbi Arnold J. Wolf, in what is believed to be the first demonstration of its kind by a congregation of any religious faith. The members, from a well-todo, well-educated s u b u r b a n community, expressed their dismay over the continuing war in Viet Nam in meetings with Senators Charles H. P e r c y and Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois, and Senators Eugene J. McCarthy of Minnesota and J. William Fulbright of A r k a n s a s. They also met with Rep. D o n a l d Rumsfield of Illinois, and were received at the State Department by Hay ward Isham, deputy director of the Viet Nam working group. Rabbi Wolf said "if we succeed in bringing to Washington a responsible and religious witness for peace, many o t h e r churches and synagogues may be persuaded to f o l l o w our lead."

Some where between greatgrandpa and me, the family must have decided unconsciously that the old country and the new country didn't mix, and the traditions slowly were abandoned and, worse, rarely mentioned, It really was by accident then that I discovered Sholom Aleichem, for we had a wise and witty H e b r e w teacher who started reading the "Wise Men of Chelm" to us. And what wonderful and funny stories they were. I must have been about eight at Hie time, but 20 years later, I remember distinctly how I laughed with—not at— the silly antics of the community and of the rabbi who settled arguments like w h i c h side of a piece of bread do you butler. (His conclusion, I recall, was that if a piece of bread falls on the buttered side, it's been buttered on Hie wrong side.) I know now how the Jews always have had the capacity for humor and self-mockery still evident today. But I'm sure I couldn't appreciate the necessity for this if I hadn't known the "Wise Men of Chelm" many years ago and Tevye and the people of Anateyka today. "Fiddler on the Roof" should be required fare for every Jewish family in Omaha, but I suspect most parents won't even think to take their 'youngsters to see Paul Lipson and the marvelous cast now in town. Thinking the kids can't possibly understand the plight of Tevye trying to marry his five daughters properly within the framework of his Jewish beliefs or the plight of Anatevka's people faced with a pogrom and trying to maintain the delicate balance of a fiddler on a roof, many parents are going to roll another generation of exposure to their heritage.

Editor's Nod': The following articles about Israel were Milmiifted recently by two youn^ Omaha men. One, in flit- form of a book review, presents "The Case lor Israel." The other, an essay, i* a critical look at Israel which offers a diverse point of view. Neither article was soli'-ited; both were sent voluntarily by (lie -writers. Both oiler provocative points-of view. It is significant that in
these days when the. cry of "apathetic, Jewish youth" is heard throughout the country, that these, young men voluntarily put forth the effort to express their views. Whether or not one agrees with the opinions expressed, I am hopeful that our readers will recognize the importance at our young, people having this medium for (he expression of their ideas.

duct of money, education, and work. It would be more of a miracle if Israel had remained poor and backward. The important question is not Israeli progress, but the price she paid for her wealth. Cold War Israel is both a creature and an instrument of the cold war. For Americans who applaud our militant a nt i Communist crusade as God's work, Israel, I suppose, is an ideal symbol. But for me, already appalled by the cold war, Israeli involvement in the increasingly bloody world power struggle is inexcusable. Israel has become arms perveyor to racist South Africa and, of all countries, West Germany. Israel has trained reactionary forces to fight in the Congo and supported French imperialism in the United Nations. Israel, for a fee, has spied for Morrocco, made war for British Imperialism in 1950, and gotten involved in French politics in the Ben Barka affair. Of course, all these actions were taken to preserve the Jewish State, and in the Machievellian sense c o u l d be justified and even praised. Hut I remember not the reality of Machicvelli when thinking of Israel, but the promise of Isaiah: from Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. Israel has created hundreds of thousands of refugees. 1 must state here that I am not proArab; I don't even know what pro-Arab m e a n s . But I do mourn for the Arab war dead and grieve with the refugees. What a hideous irony it is that Israel, refuge for a homeless people, should have been created at the expense of so many refugees. I find military arrogance hateful in any people; in Jews I find it enibarassing as well. Israel is an expansionist, militarist state—what the Jewish writer 1. F. Stone calls the Prussia of the Middle East. Her arrogance and appetite have no bounds. In short, Israel, far from being a light among the nations, has become a country like any other. This fact in itself is not startling. I am not so idealistic as to expect anything else. But the situation is complicated in two ways. Millions of Jews have an emotional attachment to I s r a e l which blinds them to its ugly side. And Israel exists as the fulfilment of a very special historical promise; the promise t h a t Israel should be both different and better than other places. Israel is neither, but the emotional ties of world Jewry, and their cash support, have given Israel the wherewithal to be a state like any other, only more so. We haven't gotten the law out of Jerusalem; the Arabs have gotten 1Dayan's 'Lightning out of Israel. If Israel were to be both different and better than other places, her superiority would have to be in moral spheres; other nations having already . beaten her in economics, education, and social welfare. The quest for m o r a l superiority would involve a measure of unilateral sacrifice that Israel is unwilling to make. Citizenship
where in the world, could go there, today and become a full citizen. Arabs, whose families have lived there for centuries can at best achieve a second class citizenship somewhat akin to Negro s t a t u s in Northern United States; for Israel is a Jewish state; a state that exercises the rhetoric of return for overseas Jews. A rapid increase in Israeli population can result only in Israeli territorial expansion. Already in Israel, among official .circles, there is agitation to retain large parts ol her June conquest as "frontier." Expansion The irony of this Jewish definition of statehood is that it fails on its own, ultimate, raison d'etre. Israel was founded to give a refuge to Jews who were being persecuted in other lands. Yet outside Israel, the vast majority of the world's Jews live in the United S t a t e s or the Soviet Union. In the face of the overwhelming power of these two giants, Israel is impotent. Israel can't even get the Soviet government to train rabbis. In this ultimate sense, Israel is thrown back then on the raison d'etre of all states: existence is self-justifying. And as the state is defined as being Jewish, so the state acquires the logic of expansion as its doors are theoretically opened to all Jews. In other words, the anticipation of what will never be — massivo immigration from America and Russia—provides the rationalization for a beligerent foreign policy. Of course, Israeli expansion does not exist in isolation or unilaterally. The Arabs havo not made Israeli adjustments to the world easy. The point hero is that Israel is a far from perfect stale. And something more; Israel has an option. Israel, as a state, could renounce Zionism. It could write into its constitution a new, non nationalistic, non-mystic definition of state. It could outlaw all legal distinction between Jew and non-Jew. And it could expand the law of the return to include everyone 'which, in effect, would mean the Palestinian refugees. Be-... cause of the war, more of tho refugees are under Israeli control. Before Israel can have any claim to morality, it will have to take in those people as full and e q u a l citizens. One can maintain tlrat this proposal is absurd; Arab intransigence' and Israeli nationalism—not to mention American cold-war diplomacy—would combine to crush any thought of such action. All this is probably true. But if it is, then Israel is stuck, for as long as it lasts, ns just another state, with no claim to be Zion.
•'Reality ' Israel, as a land where two million Jews live, is a reality. It will continue to exist, and ultimately the Arabs will recognize that fact, if they haven't already. But to continue, Israel, like all the rest of us, m u s t make some concessions to other people. I s r a e l is not God'3 chosen country—it is merely a place like any other. If Israel in incapable of satisfying our high moral demands, then she must also renounce her claim to special regard, She must not exIsrael defines citizenship in pect more than any other place, mystical and inherently expan- either in w o r l d sympathy or sionist terms.

I)e UAULLK ATTACK In your issue of December 1, you headlined De Gaulle's blast at Israel, yet you did not clearly advise your readers of a greater blast, a tirade against all Jewry. He not only launched a bitter attack against Israel which he called "a war-like state determined to expand on any pretext," but, and more important, said the Jews were "at all times nn elite people, sure of itself and domineering." This is not only an affront to the 0,000.000 of our people who gave their lives under the same talk of the Nazi regime, but an affront to the signed declaration by France to the United Nations Treaty against all forms of religious intolerance, and obligates states to use all educational devices to combat all

prejudices, including anti-Semitism. De Gaulle's speech is clearly anti-Semitic, anti-Israel and a pretext to promote the franc at the expense of the United States dollar and the American Jews for their support of Israel. Therefore, I would propose that the only weapons we, as Jews, have to counteract this blast against our people, is to withhold our financial support towards French exports. This, if promoted extensively, will react most strongly where France will clearly understand our intentions—in their pocketbook, and will secure at the same time our U.S. dollars and our future ability to help support our brethren in Israel. I impeach all your readers to refuse to purchase .any French exports, to return all past purchases to the stores of origin with a letter of condemnation of De Gaulle's anti-Americanism and anti-Semitism, and to join in asking all Americans not to tour France. Our buying power is strong enough to make France realize the failure of their neonazism and to remember and appreciate the past losses of our many people for their democracy.
