Jerusalem should be a gateway to peace
by Mike Holter
The evening session
abounded with questions.
The replies to these questions, posed by the audience
for the Arab diplomats, often
had as manv responses as
there were representatives.
The acting moderator of
the Middle East Symposium,
Ezell Monts, a member of
the student body, had a much
easier time presiding over
the second session. The
feeling of "point-counter
point" that had been witnessed at the afternoon
opening session of the symposium had been replaced by
a more relaxed and intellectual approach to the common
problems of the middle east
settlement. However there
were still tiroes when a reply
to a question brought a
counter reply of "instant
pollyanna-americana"
from
merrfcers of the audience.
How the Arab delegation
envisions the state of Israel
brought responses as conditional as "withdrawal from
the land occupied since
1967", and "recognize the
legitimate rights of the Palestinian people living in
Israel." Dr. Hatem Hussaini,
director of the information
center for The League of
Arab States, replied that
"There is no minimal condition about freedom, maybe
I sound idealistic. But your
own Declaration of Independence encourages me to think
this way. R.^al peace means
for the people to be free, to
live with human dignity."
Background information
on the Palestinians in the
Gaza strip was sought, did
these people have to leave
Israel? The people fled for
safety, because of the

systematic terrorism that
had been used against them
since 1947, Again, but did
the Palestinians have to
leave? This time Dr. Hussaini replied, they did not
leave on a picnic, an excursion. It is a natural reaction
and instinct for any organism
to move to a more secure
place. These people refused
to be assimilated into the
new society. It was more
a question of dignity, not
economics. "Why should
these people have to leave
so that the .lews shepherded
by Senator Jackson could
return to Israel?
The "Olympic Massacre" was again directed to
the delegates, Mr, Melhen
Salman, counselor lor the
Embassy of Lebanon, replied,
"I was there in Munich at
at the time, I saw what happened." He continued, "I
catagorically condemn the
massacre of the Israeli
athletes, but I also catagorically condemn the massacre
of a village of civilians that
took place two days later at
the hands of Israeli terrorists. Why do people resort
to unconventional violence?
People are not basically
evil." The counselor went
on to state that due lo total
frustration, in this case
twenty years, people react
irrationally. "You experienced the same situation with
the blacks in your country,
consider the racial riots that
led to murders and destruction of cities in your own
country," he explained.

U.S. Foreign Policy
Viewed
The area of American
foreign policy making re-

ceived the following comment
from the delegation. "The
large pro-Israeli lobby plays
an important part in any such
decision making,, ,agression
in the Middle East on the
part of Israel was taken part
in by the U,S. by proxy,"
The delegation stated that
it was the modern sophisticated weapons of warfare
provided by the U,S, government that were used to
terrorize the civilian women
and children throughout the
middle east, "Hopefully,
considering all the present
factors involved in the conflict, the U,S, will play a
more even handed role in the
future," they commented.
The Arab delegation
frequently referred to the
United Resolution 242, which
states that all lands occupied
by the Israelies since 1%7
be returned to Arab control,
as a most suitable solution
to the present Middle East
conflict. Bit then, where is
the impasse to solving the
problem? Citing the present
Israeli stand the Arabs
stated, "Israel regards the
UN as phony, an impotent
institution." This raised the
question, "Can a peace
settlement be worked out
when Israel views the organization
providing
the
framework
with
such a
regard?"
The
diplomats
answered that in contrast the
Arabs have accepted the UN
resolution on the problem
without
reservation.
The
blame they said, should not
be placed on the UN, but on
Israel fcr her stubbomess
and aiTogance regarding the
situation.
The problem of
ial settlement is
that of the future
salem according

territortwofold,
of Jen>to the

Israelies and that of all
territories that have heen
occupied by the Zionists
since 1947, according to the
Arabs, "Jerusalem should
not be considered as the
heart of the problem, not a
barrier bul a gateway lo
peace", stated one delegate.
Jerusalem must exist as an
international city, all the
major faiths of the world
have holy places in the cily,
he went on to say, and
continued, all peoples m.usl
be free to come and go as
they please.
A s T h e Situation Stands...

Mr. .Michael Hamarneh,
first secretary of The Embassy of Jordan, summed up
the present siluation as
such, "The Arab peoples do
not bargain or barter over
their own soil." He wenl on
to say that, "perhaps the
Israelies act this way because they never had any
land." Even after the annexation of the Golan Heights
they still fell insecure, he
continued. "Israel
has
established
myths
and
fettishes, in order to be
secure you must annex lands
that do not belong to you."
He concluded that, " a s long
as Israel does not recognize
the rights of the Palestinian
people, peace can never be
established in the middle

Lock Haven State College

Arab Symposium

Editorial...
One step closer to state control
We, the editors, commend the LHS administration for delaying implementation of House
Bill 582. This is the bill passed by the stale
legislature making our campus roads slate
highways.
Lock Haven State now faces several
repercussions of this bill, in the form of sleeper parking fines, sliffer traffic violation
penalties, and a decrease of college and
student money. For the college, this decrease
is manifested in a loss of campus police hours
which will have lo be spent in court for contested lickets. For the students, this means a
partial loss of revenue from parking fines to the
SCC.
But beyond this loss of lime and money
are the long range and potentially damaging
consequences of House Bill 582. In our opinion,
this bill represents one more step in a developing trend toward greater state conlrol of the
state colleges.
A closer examination of this bill reveals
the slale invasion il encourages. By making
our roadways stare highways, this hill not only

subjects the LHS community to the regulations
of the state vehicle code, bul il also allows
the slate police some jurisdiction on our
campus. Although this may benefit a more
widely scattered college, it certainly is not
needed here in our compact campus.
We've witnessed the emergence of this
trend toward slate control in other rulings by
the state legislature. Evidence can be found in
such mandates as the requiremenl of all carrh
pus police officers lo attend a stale training
academy. This mandate makes the campus
police directly responsible to the slate.
The trend can also be seen in the proposed
All Commonwealth University Plan. This plan,
in effect, would make all slale colleges inlo
branch campuses of a single statewide university. Although there are pros and cons lo this
proposal, it would insure greater stale conlrol.
We therefore praise the adminisu-alion for
questioning the slale on this issue. Greater
state control means less autonomy for LHS and
an even smaller voice for the studenis.

All the three to five
hundred people, who attended either or both sessions of
the Middle East Symposium,
were reminded by the Arab
delegates that there are two
sides lo the coin. Moderator
Monts intimated that hopefully, in the near future
someone will see fit to
provide the college community and other interested individuals with that other
side of the coin, the Israeli
point of view.
