Arabs Rekindle Anti-Israel Hate Fire
JERUSALEM, (JTA) —The pullout ot British forces from Jordan and American troops from Lebanon was followed promptly this week by the start of a United Arab Republic anti-Israel propaganda drive which pushed Jordan back once more Into the International spotlight.
UAR President Nasser, pre¬ sumably emboldened by assur¬ ances from the Soviet Union, set his propaganda mills working with a charge that Israel was mobilizing troops near the Jordan border. Israeli spokesman imme¬ diately denied the charge and suggested that Nasser was throw. Ing up a smokescreen to cover his own plans in regard to King Hussein's embattled  regime.
ISRAEL WAS being wary In re¬ gard to public discussion about Jordan's future, a point made strongly by Prime Minister David Ben Gurion in a Knesset debate on a Herut demand for a full de-
ISRAEL BUYS WEAPONS SECRETLY
BY. ELIAHU 8AIJ*ETER (Copyright,  1958, JTA,  Inc.)
JERUSALEM — Not unnatur¬ ally, information about arms pur¬ chases Is among the most closely guarded secrets In Israel. No de¬ fense establishment likes its po¬ tential enemies to have data on Ita equipment and material, and Israel Is no exception In this re¬ spect.
In addition, Israel Is facing not. only "potential enemies" but act¬ ually hostile neighbors who open¬ ly claim the rights of belligerency and just as openly declare that Israel's total destruction Is one of their main alms.
I3BAEL, LIKE most small countries In the \yorld today, can¬ not supply all of her own defense needs; most of her heavy weap¬ ons have to be purchased from the arsenals of one of the major military and industrial powers.
The armaments of today's sup¬ ersonic and electronic age cannot be obtained from reconditioning old scrapes collected from the junkyards of the Second World War. They have to be obtained straight from the factories, and the factories can sell such hard- Wre only with government per¬ mission,
IN VIEW OF ALL this. It is understandable that any official information released about arms purchases is given only in gen¬ eral terms. Still, such reports are eagerly read not only by foreign embassies and intelligence agents, but also by Israeli citizens for whom each additional fighter plane, each additional field gun or armored car represents an ad¬ ditional Inch In the margin of safety against Arab annihilation.
One such report was just re- leased here in the Ministry of De¬ fense section of the official Oovemmint Yearbook, The re¬ port statis that moat of Israel's
arms purchases today are con¬ ducted on the basis of treaties and agreement with the supplying countries and not through agents or third parties.
THE REPORT divides the past 10 years Into three stages, as far as arm purchases go.
In the first stage, during the War of Independence, the guiding principle was "whatever can be obtained." Jn this period Israel's first field guns, tanks, anti-air¬ craft guns and airplanes were ob¬ tained mostly from the.West, but also from then friendly Czecho¬ slovakia.
The second stage — In the years 1049-1952 — represents a tremslatlon from the haphazard purchasing through agents and Intermediaries to planned buying directly from the armaments factories. While In this period Is¬ rael slgmed the first agreements with Belgium and France provid¬ ing the first really modern weap¬ ons, most of the equipment ob¬ tained was still of souped-up World War II vintage. The Israel Navy obtained its first three frigates, which were thoroughly modernized.
FROM 1963 ON, most of the buying has been on the basis of direct contracts and agreement^ though Israel still maintains sev¬ eral puqhaslng agents to pick up suitable odds and ends. In this latest period, almost all the equipment purchased consisted ot modern post-war make,' Including jet fighters and jet fighter- bombers, and modern electronics equipment.
This third period represents a heavy burden on Israel's treas¬ ury. "There is no comparison be¬ tween the prices of surplus equipment and the prices of mod¬ ern weapons manufactured ac¬ cording to specific orders," the Ministry of Defense report says.
bate on that Issue. The Prim? Minister said that Nasser "Knows —Bfid that Is Eill he needs to know —that we are opposed to the en¬ try of foreign troops in Jordan." He said It was better that Jor¬ dan should continue to exist and he appealed for restraint in dis¬ cussing policy on Jordan.
Ho warned it would be very harmful to discuss publicly what Israel would do in the event of violation of the Jordanian status quo. He declared "there is no need to tell a hostile world what we are going to do in a hypothe¬ tical case, especially on a question Involvfng peace or its opposite."
THE KNESSET debate also was enlivened by a Ben Gurion denunciation of Nasser in terms of unusual vigor. The Prime Min¬ ister said that the only reason Nasser should not be compared with Hitler was that Israel would not let Nasser do what Hitler had done. Ben Gurion said Nasser was capable of such crimes.
The Ben Gurion polemic come in debate on a Communist mo¬ tion for a reversal of Israel's pro- Western policy. The motion re¬ ceived only the votes of the two Communist deputies. The Herut motion also was rejected.
IN DEALING with the Com¬ munist motion, Ben Gurion ex- pressed Israel's sympathies with the Arab liberation movement but stressed that that movement must not be Identified with "the oppressive imperialist dictator¬ ship of a soldier who crushes his own land and people and bank¬ rupts them by spending the fruits of their sweat on arms from Communist countries and wants to dominate other peoples and the whole of Africa."
He told the Knesset that "Nas¬ ser's ambitions and the aims of the Arab liberation movement are two opposite things." He accused Nasser of using against Israel and the Jewish people "the tech. nlques    of    Hltlerl    propaganda"
and mentioned that Nasser bad given an Indian journalist a copy of the notorious "Protocols of the Elders of Zion."
BEN OURION replied to an assertion by Dr. Moshe Sneb, Communist deputy, that Israel \yas allied with imperialism by referring to a certain Great Power (the Soviet Union) wbieb "rules over colonial peoples and is not liberating them." He said Israel was ready to maintain nor¬ mal relations with that power.
Ben Gurion disclosed that United Nations Secretary Gen¬ eral Dag Hammarskjold bad promised to visit Israel next year to discuss Article Vm of the Jordan-Israel armistice agree¬ ment which requires both parties to meet to settle unresolved is. sues; Mr. Hammarskjold, he sa^d. Insisted that this discussion take place at Sde Boker, the Prime Minister's vacation home in the Negev.
