TEXAS JEWISH POST THURSDAY, APRIL 17,1975 POSTORIAL PAGE 4
POSTORIAL
Isolation Threat
Israel observed its 27th anniversary this week. The spirit
of the Israelis was high, but in many quarters there was a
sober realization that the Jewish State was being
threatened as never before: not just by the war machine of
the combined Arab nations, which is not new, but by the
growing isolation in the arena of world public opinion,
which is new and qualitatively threatening to box Israel
into a corner.
Its staunchest friend and ally, the United States, is not
hiding the fact that it is displeased with Israel for not
having surrendered to Egyptian demands during the latest
shuttle mission by Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger.
Neither the Secretary nor President Ford have made any
secret - privately, if not publicly - of their displeasure with
Israel for having had the chutzpah to hold fast to her
principle demand of a written guarantee from Egypt that it
will halt all its aggressive designs against the Jewish
State.
The news media in America has shifted perceptibly away
from Israel to a defense of the rights of Arabs - meaning
the feudal sheiks, monarchs and crowned heads - and to
what amounts to a journalistic orgy of praise for PLO head
Yasir Arafat. Reports from Europe show that the trend of
journalistic and public opinion is steadily turning against
Israel, and in some cases becoming hostile, while some
governments that were once friendly to Israel are now
turning neutral under the impact of the Arab oil boycott.
In addition, Israel is also under a ceaseless attack from
the Communist-Arab-Third World bloc in the United
Nations and UNESCO. True, many intellectuals, artists
and scientists have condemned UNESCO’s actions, but
these are not political acts and do not carry the weight of
governmental actions. Not the least threat of the growing
isolation of Israel comes from Ford’s reassessment of the
Middle East and the halting of vital arms supplies to Israel
at a time when the Soviet Union continues to pour arms
into the military coffers of Israel’s enemies.
But the spirit of the Israelis remains high because
through all this world Jewry is more closely solidified in its
support of Israel than ever before, more determined than
ever before that Israel shall live, more united in aiding the
Jewish State in this time of Israel’s most crucial hour.

Moshe Dayan Speaks at SMU
BY JIMMY WISCH
“STOP ISRAEL!”
“THE PERSECUTED OF THE PAST ARE TODAY’S
PERSECUTED!”
“PALESTINE FOR EVERYONE!”
These were but a few of the messages being carried by
35 Arab students in front of McFarlin Auditorium on the
S.M.U. campus last Sunday night to protest the visit of
General Moshe Dayan, Israeli war hero and former
secretary of defense whose topic was an assessment of the
Mid East today.
Dayan was introduced by Brad Carter of the political
Science Department who chuckled that Dayan though a
politician was about the only one who “was not a candidate
for the presidency of S.M.U.”
J
General Dayan wearing
his traditional grey civilian
suit and internationally
known eye patch said he was
happy to hear that President
Ford, in review of the status
of the world, was “standing
fast in Europe, Latin Amer-
ica and the Middle East...”
despite Kissinger’s failure
the United States will go on.’
However, he cautioned that
he was'“not sure that peace
can be achieved within the
next few months.”
If the situation becomes
“frozen” like 1956 and 1967
Dayan said “we may find
ourselves in another war.”
Cautioning about distin-
guishing “between written,
formal commitments and
the situation in the area,”
Dayan stated that we have
to face “the realities that are
not in writing...changes that
are taking place which are
sometimes more important
than the writing.”
Dayan, a member of
Israel’s Knesset (Parlia-
ment) stated that the Arabs
were predicating their po-
licy on three “No’s. No
Peace, No Recognition. No
Negotiation.”
\
When Nasser wouldn’t
open the Suez Canal until we
withdrew from the Sinai and
Golan, he made it hard for
the Egyptian people” and “it
was binding on all the other
Arab peoples.”
Following Nasser’s death
some changes took place.
“Sadat talks about the end of
belligerency but he still says
he will not make peace with
Israel. But I think that he
wants to find a way to get a
half-way political agreement
and not resume war.
“More important,” the
general added, “is what is
happening in the area.
Egypt is going to open the
Suez Canal on June 5 and

allow its people to go back to
the cities they left even if
they are in ruins - like Suez
Ismalia. The Suez Canal to
become an international
waterway is very important
since we still have our forces
only 20 kilometers from the
Suez canal and their cities.”
General Dayan said that
Jordan didn’t take an active
part in the Yom Kippur War
of 1973. This caused quite a
bit of tension for the
Jordanians because “Egypt
was in the North and Syria
in the South.” But “life was
pretty normal between Jor-
dan and Israel...the traffic
between Jordan and Israel
went on during the war...
even if no written agree-
ment had been achieved.
“As long as the parties try
to move for a peaceful
solution and do not start
shooting there is a chance
and we have to encourage
it.”
General Dayan said that
the United States was the
greatest superpower in the
world and had to be
cognizant of its obligations
“especially to the smaller
countries.” He said that
there had to be a willing
supply of arms to smaller,
independent nations who
were willing to stand up to

MRS. AYDEL FERSZTMAN
Word has been received in Fort
Worth of the death of Mrs. Aydel
the Soviet Union and not let
them take over the world.
He said the Russians “were
a problem.” He emphasized
that “we do not want you
(the United States) fighting
for us...when it comes to
defending our country and
fighting for our lives we can
manage it when the other
party is the Arab.”
Dayan revealed that not
only had the Russians sent
thousands of technicians and
soldiers to bolster the
Egyptians and Arabs but
they sent fighter pilots.
“The Russians crossed lines
(airspace) and we shot four
Russian pilots down.
“Both in 1967 and 1973 we
learned from your intelli-
gence that Russia was ready
to send troops to fight in
Syria. Johnson told the
Russians that if they sent
troops into Syria, the Fleet
would move into the Medi-
terranean and we would
land them (troops) in opposi-
tion. In 1973 Russia was
ready to send three airborne
GENERAL MOSHE DAYAN
divisions into Egypt to figB
against Israel and the U.S.
told them that if they did
they would be opposed.” The
general said he expects the
U.S. to see to it that Russia
does not send troops into the
area. “I think Presidc^j
Ford said in his speech to
Russia, “Do not fish in
troubled waters.’ You are
the only ones who can stand
up to Russia.” Another
expectation was for the U.S.
to continue to supply arms
to Israel. He said that within
a few days during the 1973
war Israel managed to
destroy half the Syrian ta^
force. This was replaced ■■
the Russians within a
month. However, only a
portion of the 80 planes and
200 tanks Israel lost have
been replaced by the United
States. “I told Secretary
Schlesinger we got more
from the Russians by cap-
turing them from the Sy-
rians and Egyptians” than
was received from the
United States.
