     (resignation) of Andy Young

     gleefully bid farewell to ‘ 
     
     mdy the day after his 
     
     appointment to the U.N.

     even greater anticipatim, 
     
     saying goodbye to his 
     
     forner boss) . .Anb. Young 
     
     repeatedly had been, 
     
     throughout his brief, but 
     
     insignificant Career: an 
     
     anbarrassment to the mited 
     
     States. However, in me 
     
     respect, he had been just 
     
     me facet in the overall 
     
     enbarrassing presidency of 
     
     the Georgian peanut farner,

     It nust, ﬁxerefore, be the 
     
     policy. of silence in relatia1 
     
     to the PLO itself that must 
     
    
     here be questiaxed, for that ' 
     
    
     policy will likely remain

     Che of the reasons  
     
    
     'given for the refusal of the 
     
     U.S.A. to @al with the P10 
     
    
     is a terrorist group which 
     
     indiscriminately kills 
     
    
     school children. Forgotten 
     
     is the Ir91n of the 1940's, 
     
     a Jewish terrorist group, 
     
     ammg whose ranks was me 
     
    
     ,Nknadiim Begin. Now Prine 
     
     Minister Begin had, at that 
     
    
     tine, a highly placed nane 
     
     a1 British Most-Wanted lists, 
     
     most notably for his 
     
     involvenent in the bathing 
     
    
     of Jerusalem's King David 
     
    
     Hotel. Today it is Mr. 
     
     Begin's voice that, louder 
     
     than all others, shrieks 
     
    
     .out warnings against having 
     
     .any (balings with terrorist 
     
    
     thugs. lThe hmorable Prine 
     
     Minister of Israel himself 
     
     then, if his maxim were to 
     
     be adhered to, would becare 
     
     persma—nm-grata. However, 
     
     and perhaps rightly so, 
     
     P.M. Begin is received in 
     
     nest Western capitals, 
     
     including Washingtm and 
     
     Ottawa, with the highest 
     
     hcnor due his office. 
     
     Another canmnly alleged 
     
     reason for ignoring the 
     
     P110 is that the PLO has sold 
     
     its soul to the Soviet 
     
     'Camuﬁsts (now there is a 
     
    
     band of thugs and terrEists!) 
     
    
     It is quite true that the 
     
     Reds want the Middle East 
     
     and desire it about as much 
     
     as Eve did the apple. The 
     
     Free World (United States, 
     
     Canada and Carpany) would 
     
     be in sorry shape should the 
     
     Marxist-IeniniSt bandits 
     
     get their grubby "little" 
     
     hands (:1 the oil fields of 
     
     This,then, 
     
     may have just enough 
     
     validity as an argutent to 
     
     persuade sate Anericans 
     
     that we should have nothing- 
     
     to do with the P10. However 
     
     this argment is far too 
     
    
     sinplistic, for in reality 
     
    
     the P10 is still far from 
     
     being a puppet for Soviet 
     
     expansionism. Puppets of 
     
     Moscow remain, for the nest ' 
     
     part, at the lunatic 
     
     fringes; of the Organizaticn, 
     
     but (and this is a most 
     
     important "but") will 
     
     increasingly gain credibil- 
     
     ity and strength as the P10 
     
     ‘is further ignored by the 
     
     miwd States. 
     
    
     _ The final argument is a 
     
     nest carplex one. It is 
     
     argued that the survival 
     
     and security of the State 
     
     of Israel would be in grave 
     
     jeopardy should the P10 be 
     
     its main reasal

     ' people, who for the most  ' 
     
    
     part, harbor no great love 
     
     for Israel. Israel,‘ " 
     
     unquestionably, Sic—es have a 
     
     right to a secure survival. 
     
     (Israel has been a 1mg 
     
    
     and loyal friend of the 
     
     United States, and I for me 
     
     would qapcse having them 
     
     becaie the "Taiwan" of the 
     
     Middle ’East.) However 
     
     Israel M have the 
     
     right to deny.the sane 
     
     unalienable rights of a . 
     
     hareland to a peqale whan 
     
    
     geography hasnede oo- 
     
    
     inhabitants (for thousands 
     
     of years) of the sane land 
     
     wherein the Jewish state 
     
     resides. Neither Yahweh 
     
     (Jehovah) the God of Israel 
     
     nor Allah the sane God of 
     
     Islam, can be justly ~ 
     
     appealed to in order that 
     
     land may be stolen fran ' 
     
     others. The Holy Land is 
     
     no less holy to the brothers 
     
     and sisters of Mohamed than 
     
     it is for the children of 
     
     Moses. 
     
    
     Israel has no right, as 
     
     there is right, to wage 
     
     "holy war" against its 
     
     neighbours. Israel does 
     
     not have the right to treat 
     
     the air space of the 
     
     sovereign natim of 
     
     Iebanm as its own, and 
     
     still less right to barb 
     
     Iebanese cities, causing 
     
     the loss of countless 
     
     civilian lives. I see no 
     
     difference between 
     
     Israeli bathing raids and 
     
     Palestinian terrorist 
     
     attadcs; in bothcases 
     
     4-year—olds die, and in 
     
     both cases the blood of the 
     
     innocent is spilled a1to 
     
     the "Holy Land". Israel 
     
     does not have the right to 
     
     sell, lease, loan, hate- 
     
     stead or~otherwise settle 
     
     the lands occupied in 1967 
     
     which rightfully belmg 
     
     to Others. The claim of 
     
     "Judea and Samaria" is no 
     
     lcnger valid in the 20th 
     
     century as now the land is 
     
     but the occupied West Bank. 
     
    
     Voices for justice for 
     
     Palestine are rising from 
     
     a chorus of world leaders. 
     
     Sons of them are opportun- 
     
    
     iists, but most of them are 
     
    
     sincere. ane John Paul II 
     
     added his powerful voice 
     
     to the others, when, in the 
     
     U.N. General Assembly, he 
     
     too called for a just and 
     
    
     ‘ equitable settlement of the 
     
    
     Palestinian questim. Sate 
     
     of the solutions to the 
     
     prdalem can be found ancng
