Entebbe has become a legend — an example of courage and principle.

Mbndale Seen As Jewish Vote Bid NEW YORK (FTA) Democratic presidential candidate Jimmy Carter apparently believes that his selection of Sen. Walter F. Mondale of'Mlnnespta as'his Vice-Presidential running mate may lessen doubts about his candidacy among Jewish voters.
he declared, "To our friends and allies I say that what unites us through our common dedication to democracy is more important than that which occasionally divides us on economics or politics."
stressed that they wanted the' delegates to the convention to be aware of the issue. "I hope the Democratic Party convention delegates will take this message back to their communities and recruit their friends and neighbors to the movement to guarantee freedom- of emigration and freedom of beliefs for Soviet Jews and all other oppressed people," Abzug declared.

And she said that "ultimately, a Jewish settlement in that area will not be a deterrent to a real peace, Israelis feel — it won't be a threat to anyone. The Israelis were pushed into a war and fought for it (the land theywanttosettle)." She said nevertheless, the Israeli government is "very concerned about upsetting VS. feeling" and fearing the settlements will be misinterpreted, has put restrictions on those settling there.

Brands Feel Need to Surround Themselves with Jewishness By Barbara Simon OMAHA—"I always knew we'd go back to Israel—it was just a question of when," said Batya Brand, discussing her family's forthcoming move to the land of her birth. Her story is that of a sabra, "Born ana DretTwfin uic iovc 01 Israel In her veins, moving to Omaha 14 years- ago as a young tnsrricd ncnssn with her husband Jakub, in pursuit of "the good life" that only America can offer. "We were at a time in our lives then," Batya continues, "when the easy and comfortable life here, the chance for me to finish my education and for Jakub to have an excellent job, were important to us,
feejlng of being in my 'home'". Batya, Jakub and their two children, Dorone, 8, and Effie, 9, both born in Omaha, will depart for Israel at the end of August, as soon as they sell their house at 5Gth and « . mlica.
'
"Omaha has been very good to us," reports Batya, "We had a good life here. America is so wonderful, there is no place like it in the world. It has the highest standard of living. One can live so well for comparatively so little. And the vast openness of the countryside gives a wonderful feeling of freedom and space.

Batya insists passionately that a Jew bora somewhere else can never know exactly what she means when she speaks of the exhilaration she feels In a "free" Jewish country, where one is free to feel completely and continuously Jewish. It's a wholeness and a unity of being, never having to explain or make excuses, always being the majority, always proud, lull of meaning and identity. "An example of what I mean," she says, "Is the woman I saw here many times. She speaks' both Hebrew and Yiddish, but when I speak to her in' Hebrew,, she answers me In bad English very quietly. Her English Is heavy with an accent, of course, but she Is afraid and uncomfortable to be heard in! her own language, to be noticed as an oddity—to be recognized as a J e w - a s if when she speaks English she Is less • noticed I

And so by the end of summer, Batya and Jakub, Effie and Dorone will set out for home Jakub will work In his field, the mechanics of sophisticated office machines, Batya will teach, the children will enjoy the Israeli y y i - s n d lais of homework. They may go to a new city, Carmlei, !n the Gflllalie near Acre and Zfat. The mayor was recently in the United States working to attract businesses and-families to the new town. He calied the Brands, interested them In the idea of being part of a new city. Or they may return to their hometown, Kirlat Ata, near Haifa. Jakub's and Batya's mothers are there, as well as their married sisters, brothers and their children. Effie and Dorone are excited and eager to go. They can't wait to have grandmothers and coin Ins They have good memories of a beautiful summer they spent in 1972. "I only hope," says Batya, "that the children will.get a fraction of what I got out of Israel when I was a child. I hope It's not too late forthem." "You know," Bhe' adds, "life Is hard there, we will become part of the struggling community. My mother, who recently stopped working in a factory, now volunteers In the army. She does lighter tasks to relieve fighting men to do the heavier/tasks. It's her way of continuing to contribute to our country. It's a wonderful feeling to contribute. Our return Is our way of contributing. They need us—we need them. If we don't go back, who will go?"

It was a double celebration for American friends of Israel as they hailed American's Bicentennial and simultaneously rejoiced over Israel's declaration of independence from terrorism. • Virtually all newspapers and commentators paid tribute to Israel's daring exploit and criticized the Organization of African Unity's cooperation with Uganda In Its condemnation of Israel. The reaction of the media demonstrated anew that opinion about Israel is crystallized by her own deeds. The New York Times (July 5) declared that "the Israelis have every justification to take any steps within their power to neutralize the criminal behavior of hijackers... They succeeded magnificently." The next day the Time3 went further In anotherleader: "Toe civilized world owes tbe Government and armed forces of Israel a permanent debt of gratitude for the courageously conceived and brilliantly executed rescue . . . a p propriately enough (on) American's Independence Day. By this unprecedented action the Israelis have demonstrated that tbe criminal terrorist practice of holding the lives of innocent civilians for ransom to achieve political ends can be successfully thwarted by application of sufficient amounts of resourcefulness, determination—and guts." iisriy, Tte Bslttaisre Saa (July 5) referred to the "Birth of an Israeli •Legend'... : "Israel did what it had to do, arid it did it brilliantly.. .No self-respecting nation can Idly stand by and allow its citizens to be executed or threatened with execution by foreign terrorists." Saa&dsred testJ'Kenys desejwes support for its unyielding resistance to the kind of air piracy Amln's policies encouraged." Significantly, it noted, five of the
prisoners whose release the hijackers were demanding are now in Kenya jails for attacking an Israeli plant at Nairobi airport. The Washington Post (July 6) called Israel's rescue mission "a brilliant and heartlifting victory over terrorism, demonstrating that In the absence of concerted international action against the paralyzing modern disease, a government of valor and Imagination can" still act." It noted that President Ford's congratulations were "richly deserved." However, another editorial In tbe Post on the same day asks whether the Lebanese crisis would have exploded last year if the Palestinians had been brought < Into the diplomatic search for a settlement. The Post's tendency to attribute Middle East turmoil to the Arab-Israeli conflict overlooks the reality that three other conflicts rage in the Middle East: the war between the haves and the have-nots: Moslem intolerance of religious and national minorities; and, not the lest, the Cold War. While sympathizing with "the Joy and relief in Israel," Tbe Christian Science Monitor (July 6) questioned the propriety and legality of Israel's "violation of the sovereignty of Uganda," noting that "Ugandan lives are just as valuable as anyone elses." The air waves warmed the hearts of American listeners. .
worth while. More detailed plans are being drawn up. • In uie meantime, 5 yolmg people's group in the World Zionist Organization which calls itself "The Continuing Generation" had added a new dimension to the proposal. While they recognize that very large sums of money will be required to bring the Idea to realization, they suggest that tbe project be transformed into a great national undertaking of the entire Jewish people and that Jews by the thousands, young and old, be stimulated to come as volunteers to participate personally in the physical work. Within the framework of proper organization, Jewish architects and engineers and 'planners, draftsmen and secretaries and typists, should be called upon to contribute their services. Young people whose imagination will be stirred by the project will man the machinery, dig the ditches, pour the cement, build the scaffolding, and do all the actual work required. It should be on uplifting emotional and spiritual experience. The same kind of idealism that attracted thousands of Diaspora youth to Israel in tune of war and emergency can stir them also for a project of this nature. Already today they come hi their hundreds to work as volunteers in the archeological excavations, digging up.the past. In the proposed undertaking they will have the thrill of creating the future, with their own hands. •
careers. They seek care ' meaningful criteria in life. the Canal would be to hire cheap Arab labor'from the occupied areas and transform what could be a noble, historic enterprise into a simple commercial operation. Too much of the Zionist ideal has already undergone that treatment. In the process we have lost idealism, nobility, self-respect. A modest experiment has already been tried. This summer some hundreds of Jewish youth, from Israel's high schools and from over-
teas, are engaged In laying the ties and tracks for extension o! the Israel railroad hi the northern Negev. What a thrill It will be for them some years hence, when they ride the trains, to tell their children that they laid those tracks with their own hands. Money will be required, in large amounts, but for heaven's sake let's grasp the opportunity to derive the maximum of idealism and renewed pioneering spirit when the time comes to dig the Herzl Canal. If we can display some vision and imagination and daring we may yet redeem an entire generation.
Israel's Agriculture Impresses Editor's Note: The following comments were made by II, L. Tinlcy, vice president of Farmers National Company In Omaha on a KMTV farm-city commentary in June. Tinlcy, who is not Jewish, noted that he has been to Israel several times and worked with Israeli agricultural experts.
OMAHA—Israel, a nation of three million friendly people, Is surrounded by 100 million hostile neighbors. Though only 28 years old, tho country is 4,000 years deep in history and the Jews intend to make Israel their promised land.
Israel, as a result, Is a land that, while for centuries was Judged too poor to farm, is now being farmed by people who knew nothing about farmIng. And the Lord must be on their side because, with little more than their bare hands and what they read in books, they have c r e a t e d an agricultural system that Isn't perfect, but Is showing a profit to their national treasury.
