Succos Recipes Apricot Chantilly Saudi Arms (0>ntinued from Page 1) takeover of the Grand Mosque in Mecca that nearly brought down the royal family in 1979. All the advanced armaments our country poured into Israel could not save the Shah. Must we make the same mistake in Saudi Arabia? . Who is the Target? What possible reason can the Pentagon have for wanting to sell Saudi Arabia such sophisticated equipment and lethal weapons as the AW ACS' spy-and-command plane and the F-15 fighter equipped with the Sidewinder missile and extra fuel tanks? Will it help Savdi Arabia de fend itself against attack? Admiral Stansfield Turner, former director of the CIA, says ' it would be ‘'irresponsible'* for the U.S. to sell the Saudi regime the AW ACS when the govern ment there is “incapable of handling the more elementary threats of insurrection and guerilla warfare that are highly probable.** Will it help the Saudis deter a major Soviet assault? Even the Pentagon makes no such claim. What is clear is that any Soviet military threat to the Saudi oilfields would have to be answered by the U.S. President Carter said so in January of 1979. (“Such assault will be repelled by any means necessary, including military force.”) And Defense Secretary Weinberg said so in March of 1981. (“Wc will confront by military force if necessary any Soviet or Soviet-inspired threat” to U.S. oil interests.) Will it prevent attack from Soviet satellites Ethiopia or South Yemen? Neither country has the economic or military resources to wage war against Saudi Arabia today or tomor row. Who else threatens Saudi Arabia? No one. Not Iraq, with which Saudi Arabia has been much closer since the Iraqi- Iranian war. Not Iran, which is undergoing convulsions that threaten to tear the country even further apart. Not Syria, with which the Saudis have been flirting in an effort to cool Lebanon. Not Jordan, which is no threat to anyone. In s|jort, the Saudis face no external threat whatsoever. The real danger (as Admiral Turner pointed out) comes from the threat of internal subversion, just as it did in Iran. And against this threat, AW ACS planes and F-15 jet fighters are of no use at all. Against whom, then, would the Saudis use their billions of dollars in military equipment? Against Israel. Last January Crown Prince Fahd, in a front page article in the Saudi daily Al Madina, called for a “jihad” or holy war as the OQly course for resolving the Arab-lsrael con flict. “Peace with the Israeli enemy has become a myth,” the Crown Prince wrote. He called on Arabs and Moslems at large to mount “a persistent and long drawn-out ‘jihad,’ because this is the only answer to the Zionists’ racist arrogance.” Last April Sheik Ahmed Yamani, Minister of Petroleum, underscored Saudi intentions in ■ a speech in New York. The “threat” of Israel, he said, was Vi lb. dried apricots Vz large orange Vi cup sugar 14 cup coarsely chopped “an actual danger” and “ob viously worse’* than the “potential danger” of interna tional Communism. Thus did the Saudi spokesman knock in to a cocked hat the Reagan Ad ministration’s dream of per suading the Arab world to join in an anti-Soviet alliance aimed at discouraging further Afghanistans. Yet even these might be overlooked if Saudi Arabia sup ported U.S. policy in the Middle East. In fact, however, the Saudi regime has done everything possible to oppose our country’s strategy in the region. The Saudis have de nounced the Camp David peace process, reviled President Sadat for making peace with Israel and cut off economic aid to Egypt. And they continue to finance the terrorist PLO with hundreds of millions of dollars annually. From every point of view, the proposed $8.5 billion arms package for Saudi Arabia is wrong. It will not enhance the security of Saudi Arabia, but endanger it by increasing the temptation of subversive groups to revolt and seize power. It will not promote the Middle East peace process but threaten it by rewarding Saudi Arabia for condemning Camp David. It will not strengthen trust in our country’s commitments but weaken it by signifying the breaking of a solemn pledge to the American people. It must be stopped. walnuts 3 tbs. orange flavored liquer 1 cup heavy cream, whipped stiffly shaved chocolate for garnish 1. Soak apricots in cold water to cover for several hours. 2.

Along with General Omar Bradley, St. John received the highest award Israel bestows on a non-Jew, the Medallion of Valor. Many remember St. John for his memorable NBC broadcasts from London during the blitz and for one of the first broad casts to America from Paris after the liberation of the French capital.

Mr. Bernstein received the Distinguished Citizenship Award of the Junior Chamber of Conimerce in 1961. In discussing the 1981 Israel Bonds campaign both Jerome Levin and Marvin Bienstock, Executive Director of the Charlotte Jewish Federation, emphasized the need for in creased support. “The Israel Bond program provides urgently needed resources to help finance every major aspect of Israel’s economic development,” said Mr. Levin. Bienstock added, “The in come from Bonds is the primary source of income for research into new sources of energy. Israel gave up its Sinai oil fields for the sake of peace with Egypt. It was an unparalleled gesture. It looks to bonds to finance replacement sources it desperately needs, and bonds are looking to us. We must not turn away.” Specific details on the Radisson dinner honoring Mark Bernstein will be sent to the community on or about Oc tober I in the form of an invita tion. For those wishing to purchase bonds in any denominations beginning with $250, applica tions are available at the JCC and Federation offices.
