TEXAS JEWISH POST THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1968 POSTORlAi—PAGE 4
POSTORIAL
Credit Where Due
It was reported early this week that the most hopeful indication
that peace in the Middle East has become a possibility is the fact
that Ambassador Gunnar Jarring has been moved into a larger of-
fice in UN headquarters. The statement was made in jest, but it is
indicative of the atmosphere of hope that has begun to become evi-
dent along the East River since Abba Eban’s speech to the General
Assembly a little more than two weeks ago.
If peace is achieved in the Middle East, it will be because of Is-
rael’s willingness to make further sacrifices, as suggested by Eban’s
speech. Should peace come, it should be remembered by all that it
has been Israel all along that has made sacrifices, starting as far
back as the UN partition resolution of 1948, and including her
forced withdrawal from the Sinai in 1956 and her willingness to stop
her victorious forces short of Cairo, Damascus and Amman in
1967. In each instance Israel had fought a war provoked by the
Arabs. In each instance, she was victorious. In each instance she
refused to take all that military conquest had earned her.
Now, in the interest of security for herself and her neighbors, Is-
rael has offered to make additional territorial sacrifice. If, after
months of stalemate, the Middle East does now move toward
peace, let it be understood by the world that, once again, the first
gesture came from Israel.
FROM THE JEWISH EXPONENT
Mirages Sent
If Israel
'In Danger'
PARIS (JTA)—Marcel Das-
sault, whose company produces
the Mirage jet fighter plane
which is the backbone of Is-
rael’s Air Force, told a press
conference here that the sale
of 50 Mirage-V jets to Israel
was barred last June by Presi-
dent Charles deGaulle because
“they are offensive attack
planes.’’ Israel ordered and paid
for the planes which now are
housed—complete with Israeli
Air Force markings — at air-
ports in southern France.
The manufacturer also said
that if Israel was ever in dan-
ger it would get ttie 50 planes
and he added that Israel had
obtained from France since the
June, 1967 war “all the necess-
ary defensive weapons’’ it need-
ed. The manufacturer, a confi-
dante of Gen. de Gaulle, enum-
erated the defensive weapons as
“helicopters and certain other
planes, electronic equipment
and probably even tanks.
Meanwhile two deputies be-
longing to the usually-well dis-
ciplined Gaullist majority sub-
mitted questions to the Gov-
ernment in the Chamber of De-
puties asking the Government
to end the embargo on the jets
in order “to reestablish a bal-
ance of force” between Israel
and the Arab states. The depu-
ties stressed that the recent
heavy arms deliveries to Egypt
had tipped the balance of pow-
er which France has sought to
maintain the Middle East and
that Israel was now in a posi-
tion of inferiority in air stren-
gth.

AS SCHOOLS STAY CLOSED
Negro-Jewish Tension MountsinNew York
NEW YORK (JTA)—The New
York City public school svsteni
was closed by a strike for the third
time since the beginning of the
new school term in September and
it became apparent early that one
of its major aspects was mounting
tension between Negroes and Jews
and increasing indications of ra-
cism and anti-Semitisnv
About two-thirds of the mem-
bers of the striking United Federa-
tion of Teachers are Jewish, and
Negro extremists have seized on
this to introduce violent anti-Semi-
tic elements into the dispute—al-
though as many as half of the
replacement volunteer teachers in
the controversial Ocean Hill -
Brownsville school district in
Brooklyn are Jewish.
The anti-Semitic attitude on the
part of many Negroes has evoked
an anti-Negro attitude on the part
of many Jews as was shown when
Mayor John V. Lindsay, was
roundly booed and jeered when he
spoke in the Conservative Mid-
wood Jewish Community Center in
Brooklyn.
The United Synagogue of Amer-
ica. national body of Conservative
Judaism, cautioned American Jews
not to equate the anti-Semitic slurs
