Hi Hcitille To Sell Airplanes To Iraq
PARIS, (JTA)--President de Gaune took a significant step in his new anti-Israel campaign by lifUngFrance's Middle East arms embargo to the Arab nations while continuing tt against Israel. The development came amid mounting criticism of the French leader for his anti- Israel, ^nti-Jewlsh and anti- American stance.
The Paris daily L'Aurore reported France planned to sell 50 Mirage-V jetfighters to Iraq, as well as IS Ml- rage-E3 jets and eight Nord Atlas-jet bombers. The newspaper Combat denounc¬ ed the reported sale to Iraq, declaring that the action was "criminal" because itwould "increase the danger to Is¬ raeL"
ACC ORDING tothe reports France may sell tothe Arabs some of the weapons made for but never delivered to Israel: It was indicated here that thefemb&rgo Would con¬
tinue for Israel because Is-^ rael offended President de Gaulle iiy failing to heed Ms wishes. Iraq recently signed an at^ement with a French oil firm to develop laige areas confiscated from the British-owned Iraq Petro¬ leum Company.
One of the protests was a letter to de Gaulle from 14 leading French Jewish aca¬ demicians. Including aNobel prize winner, which said the signers were "deeply hurt by your words which may well revive the prejudices from wldch we have suffered." Among the signers were Pro- fessbrs Raymond Araon, Henri Baruk, Rene Cassin and Francois Jacob. Grand Rabbi Jacob Kc^dan reported meanwhile that he had re¬ ceived many letters from "prominent and ordinary Frenchmen, Jews and non- Jews," supporting bis reply to Gen. de Gaulle.
T.RABBI Kaplaif s statement
charged de Gaulle with giv¬ ing "the highest possible sanctioi^' to anti-Semitic i discrimination and with hav- : ing defamed the Jevrish peo¬ ple to shore up his attack ; on Israel as an aggressor. Dr. Kaplan told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that tie bad replied In greater detail to de Gaulle's attack at a meeting In Meudon on De- ^ cember 5 attended by 1>000 persons.  He  said he had qticted Nt^eon who consid¬ ered the Jews as heirs de jure"   or the  legitimate heirs, to IsraeL
DE GAULLE was assailed at a meeting here of the In¬ ternational League Against Anti-Semitism addressed by I Sen. Andre Monteil, who said ' most Frenchmen supported Israel. He called a "scandal" the embargo on shipment ot spare parts for Israel's air force planes which are main¬ ly French-made.

The historians tell us that the Hundred Years War was not actually a century of c<»i- tinuous warfare, but actually a series of wars interspers¬ ed with sporadic fighting over that period ot time. The Egyptian sinking of the Israeli desfroyer Elath; out¬ breaks of tighthig along the Jordanian border andthe re¬ newal by the Syrians of ter¬ rorist operations point up the fact that the world might well be faced with a simUar Hundred Years War In the Middle East -- unless afirm peace is assured. ¦ As Se^r J^^I^K Javits (R. N.Y.J) rec^im pohited out to nje duriijg |an Inter¬ view her^: Siq^ui^ crei^on of Israel in 194|8i^ ithe peace has been shattbred by three flill-sdale wars between Is¬ rael and the Arab states plus Innumierable skirmishes, cross-6order raids, dead- of-nigltt t e r r 0 r i 8 m, econ¬ omic warfare and propa¬ ganda and diplomatic as- s&ults "
THE REPUBLICAN Sena¬ tor from New York then ex¬ pressed his concern as to how world peace can survive this sort of continuous fight¬ ing.
"It is too dangerous a question to risk," he stres¬ sed.
THIS realization Is now beginning to dawn on others as well, as we mark the six-month anniversary of tlie Six-day war of last June — and peace still eludes our grasp.
At tMs time, there seems to be three main bones of contention with respect to securing  a Middle East
peace. First and foremost, there is the Arab reluctance to sit down and discuss a settiement with- Israel. As Israel's Foreign Minister, Abba Eban has so eloquently pointed out ~ the Arabs are willing to meet the Is¬ raelis face to face on the battiefleld, but are reluctant to meet them tace-to-tace at the peace table.
SECONDLY, there is the insistence ot the Arab states, and thefr friends — prin¬ cipally the Russians and the Indians — that Israel with¬
draw from the occu^ed ter¬ ritories before any negotia- tims are undertaken. The Israelis learned a bitter lesson ten years ago on what withdrawal before negotia¬ tions can mean, and they are not likely to repeat that error, despite the interna¬ tional pressures to which they are being subjected. The tUrd stumbling block is the arms race fonned by shipments by the Soviets ot the latest weapons to its - Arab friends, and by tlie (Conthmed on Page 12)
