Black Pi^iersChlde Arabs (Contimied from Pa)^ 11 "Many othera. such as Iran. Paraguay. Nicaragua and 'Saudi Arabia, have a tiny number of citizens controlling enormous wealth, while the overwhelming majority of their fellow countrymen suffer from incredible poverty, hunger or even starvation. "Israel is light years away from both of these categories. Yet no one has ever talked of expelling any of these other countries from the U.N. (except for South Africa) while many now talk of expeUinglsnid. "Ironically, the same land of Israel which the U.N. now talks of expelling was the creation of the U.N. in 1947. At that time the U.N. voted to create a Jewish state akmgside a Palestinian state by the U.N. resolution, however, and fought a war (unsuccessfully) to keep
Israel from becoming a state." The TMboM - which is published Tuesdays and Fridays and has a circulation of approximately 39.000 — obsarved that while the UN. "often denounces Israel" on the subject of the Palestinian refugees, it fails to mention their "shameful treatment" for 20 years by the Arab states. The Philadelphia paper added: "The U.N. also never mentions the Jewish refugee ' praUem. which may be juit as horrible at that ai tb« Palestinians.

The growing problem of Jewish poor today Indudn young men and young women as well as elderly. Young men are scAunging with odd jobs, living on welfare and food stamps and there are many separated, divoroed or deserted women with children. Within the next 10 years, the experts say there will be even a larger aged Jewish population in the United States - possibly 20 percent of the total Jewish community before the end of this decade. Proverty problems may also increase by then. Today, poverty In the Jewish comminilty Is concentrated in the 65-and-over age group. One study established that 44 percent of all Jewish bouaeholds headed by persons 6S or older have an incotne of under 14,000 a year.

ill i^raifl Tale Of A Boy Who Went 'Wrong; HAIFA - The visitor asked If be could spend a few moments with me In privacy He said he has been a faithful reader of my reports from Israel, and he felt that I would be understanding, and perhaps even helpful to him with his problem. A nod of encouragement from me, and be told his story. "I want to talk to you about my son", he began. "My wife and I live In a large city overseas — it makes little difference which one. We gave our boy what we thought was a good upbringing. "He was Bar MItzvah. We sent him to Sunday School, but never Insisted that he get an intensive Jewish educatkM. None of our neighbors did either. The boy studied at a good university. He seemed perfectly normal. . My Ttattor paoMdas if ha found the iml wivdi palnftil "And UMD he teamMl to change. Ha cama K haiA on the canpua. He }mft ntt«ial any mora. I cant baUn* that oorioa... My wUe and I look at each odMr iDd ttki whatdid«edoin«i«T" My Imagination was already at work. I had seen the young men in the Krishna
cult. We had been visited here In Haifa by a whole delegation of Jews for Jesus. Some of our own young people In Israel have somehow, strangely, fallen under the influence of the Guru. I could sympathize with this heartbroken father. He went on, ot>livious of the thoughts going througb my mind. "The boy went to Israel. That's why we're here — to visit with him, and hopefully to reason with him. We hardly recognized htm. He has grown a beard and long earlocks. He has become a Haasid. He wears a long black coat. He does nothing but study in a YeshlvaaUday. "I know we should not interfere In bis private Ufe. He can liva as he wifhet. But what a waste of his talents! He's a college graduate. Ihere la so much he could do to help Israel If he wants to live here. "Bat ttritT Why cant be be a nennal Amarlcaa yovthT What did we do wro^" The man was in distress, and I groped for words to console him. to reassure him In this unusual situation. "Perhaps you really ought to be grateful", I began. "You want him to be a normal American youth. What Is normal In America lod«y?
Would you have been happier If he had become a Buddhist? What If he became a drug addict? "Shouldn't you feel better knowing that he Is In Bnal Brak, studying at a Yeshlva, rather than wondering what trouble he Is getting into elsewhere? "Have you ever considered that In the Yeshlva he may have found a peace of mind that had eluded him In all his middle-class, materialistic upbringing?" The man's mournful k)oks were unchanged. I had made no impression on him. I tried another track. "Give him Ume. After his initial enthusiasm and zeal have died down, he may fed that he has gone too far. He may yet leave Yeshlva and return closer to what you call 'normalcy' And if he does, you may be sure that enotigh of this new Influence will remain with him to make him a better Jew hr the rte of hb Hfe." My visitor grasped at the straw. He rushed off to teU his wife. He was willing to be patient, tolerant. I was glad that I was able to be encouraging, but I wished I could be mor»«ure of my own advice.

Donald H. Gould, Young Leadership Cabinet Chair man, explained, "was designed to give each of the participating families a meaningful Jewish experience through direct interaction with the people of Israel." The strong feelings of unity and commitment fostered during the Family MlMton were most dramatically evident foltowing the group's visit to Yad Vashem. the memorial to ttie Six MiUldn.

If Israel Is expelled from the UN as some of its members propose, Uiey should remove this sentence from the wall too, for it was written by a man from Israel. His name was Isaiah. When XtxftA first entered the United Nations, Modie Sharett who was then Foreign Minister of Israel, addressed the UN and he concluded with the sentence atiove quoted and the entire body of the UN arose after his speech to applaud — all except a few of the Arab members. Today the Arab members, the Africana and the Commtnists, constituting a socalled Tliinl World, are In seeming control. HowoTor, cnefca In Ifea IWrd WMd are bagbndng to ' lOna. Tvt litW tHpOHIC
