In Our Thirty-Second Year
of Continuous Service
Decade of Terrorism March Mood Co,der Wofmrtl
less lawm
With the cease-fire in Lebanon expected to be observed at this writing,
hopes are being placed on the prospective adherence to this by the notorious
Palestine Liberation Organization.
There is little doubt that the background of the PLO terrorist group came
into the discussions between President Carter and Prime Minister Begin and
Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan at their Oval Office meetings at the White
House earlier this week.
What generally has not been known, besides the havoc caused in the
infamous strikes in Lebanon, Jordan and Israel, are the statistics over the last
decade in individual terrorist acts claimed by the PLO.
More than 1,120 people have been killed over the past decade at the hands
of the PLO and their henchmen. This amounts to one person every three days.
Nearly 2,500 have been wounded in individual acts of terrorism and 2,755
have been held as hostages. The figures are based on 865 individual terrorist
acts from Sept. 1, 1967 through Dec. 1, 1977 and were compiled by B’nai
B’rith’s Anti-Defamation League.
According to Arnold Forster, associate director and general counsel of
ADL, the report, now being made public shows the following occurrences:
—Carried out seven terrorist actions a month, about one incident every
four days, year in and year out for more than a decade;
—Killed nine human beings each month, one victim approximately every
three days;
/
—Injured, wounded or maimed 20 people each month;
—Held 22 individuals hostage each month.
The PLO is composed of some 20 organizations, funded principally by
Saudia Arabia and other Arab nations, and receives weapons from the Soviet
Union. It relies mainly on terrorism to achieve its purpose: the annihilation of
the Jewish State.
“While the primary target is Jews, many Christians and Moslems have also
become their victims,” Forster cites, as a recent example, the murder of
Egyptian editor Youssef el-Sabbai in Cyprus. See jess jaw in on Page 7
Shcharansky Anniversary
Sparks Hunger Strikes
NEW YORK [JTA] -
Thousands of Jews and
non-Jews, including civic
leaders, local and national
legislators, participated in
rallies, meetings and hunger
strikes across the country to
mark the first anniversary
of the arrest of Anatoly
Shcharansky and his contin-
ued incarceration in Mos-
cow’s notorious Lefortovo
Prison. Similar activities are
being held in Canada, West
Europe and in Israel.
At the same time, some
140 Jewish activists across
the Soviet Union issued a
dramatic appeal declaring a
hunger strike to observe
“the tragic anniversary."
The appeal included signa-
tories from Moscow, Lenin-
grad, Kiev, Vilnius, Tash-
kent, Kishinev. Tbilisi,
Minsk and Kharkov, accord-
ing to the Student Struggle
for Soviet Jewry and Union
of Councils for Soviet Jews.
In New York, after hun-
ger strikes on more than 20
campuses in the metropoli-
tan area, hundreds of fasters
and their supporters gath-
ered at the Soviet Mission to
the United Nations to join

toly’s wife, in protest

Street and then marched to
the Mission a block away.
The action was coordinated
by the SSSJ and UCSJ.

Chicago Jewish Community
To Respond To Nazi March
CHICAGO [JTA] - Chic-
ago’s Jewish community will
conduct a two-part response
to the threat of a proposed
Nazi march in Skokie, it was
announced by Sol Goldstein,
Skokie resident, Holocaust
survivor and leader of a
Jewish United Fund [JUF]
committee framing the re-
sponse. Speaking at a press
conference held at the
Jewish Federation building,
Goldstein said the plans
included a weeklong educa-
tional program to be con-
ducted the week of April 16
whether or not the Nazis
carry out announced plans to
march on April 20.
The program would in-
clude “patriotic celebrations,
church-synagogue ex-
changes and distribution of
educational material on the
Holocaust to schools. The
second part of the response
would be a massive, but
peaceful, demonstration
with an estimated 50,000
participants to be held at the
same time the Nazis appear,
if and when they do,
Goldstein said.

Schindler's Term Extended
In Answer To Pressure
BY YITZHAK RABI
NEW YORK [JTA] - In
an unprecedented unani-
mous action, the Conference
of Presidents of Major
American Jewish Organiza-
tions voted to extend the
term of its chairman, Rabbi
Alexander Schindler, who
has completed two one-year
terms, the normal term of
office of the Conference
chairman.
The vote of confidence in
Schindler was a response to
“pressure from the White
House and attempts to
discredit Schindler and the
Presidents Conference,”
Judah J. Shapiro, president
of the Labor Zionist Alliance
and chairman of the nomin-
ating committee of the
Presidents Conference, told
a press conference. The vote
took place Tuesday. Schind-
ler’s new term in office is
likely to extend for less than
a year, Shapiro said. He
declined to elaborate on the
“pressure” coming from the
White House.
Schindler, who also de-
clined to describe “the
pressure” from the White
House, referred, however,
at length to recent media
reports about friction be-
tween himself and President
Carter’s National Security
Advisor Zbigniew Brzezin-
ski. “I made no personal
attack at anyone at any
time,” Schindler said at the
press conference. He stress-
ed that he did not refer to
Brzezinski as an “anti-Sem-
ite.” He accused the media of
personalizing and fabricat-
ing the nature of his
disagreement with Brzezin-
ski. “There is no doubt in my
