Carter: U.S.
Will Never
Abandon Israel
NEW YORK (JTA)-
President Carter declared
recently that Israel has a
right to defend , itself
"against terrorism from the
north or against her neighbors from-the east'or south"
and pledged that "this
government and this Presk
dent will never abandon
Israel." He also expressed
"great concern and disgust
at a growing clamor around
the world that Zionism is the
same as racism." That,
Carter added, is "an outrage
and a disgrace to human '
beings."
The President made these
remarks in answers to questions at a "town meeting" at -
Queens College attended'by
1700 New Yorkers. His answers to questions .on Israel
and the Middle East and
other issues on domestic and
foreign policy were punctuated with whistles and applause. - '
One questioner asked why '
Carter opposes Israel's right
to defend itself against
Palestine Liberation Organic
zation- teff6l?ist"irfcu"rfcrons
into Israel when the' U.S.
would not tolerate terrorist
attacks from Cuba.
Carter replied that "any
nation has a right to defend
itself, obviously, including
Israel." He noted that "A
basis of the Camp David accords was the right of Israel
to defend itself, a right of
Israel to be secure and along
with that was a commitment
made by President (Anwar)-
Sadat (of Egypt) and myself
and Prime Minister
(Menachem) Begin (of
Israel that the Palestinian
question, in all its aspects
would be resolved, that the
-Palestinian people, have a
right to a voice in the determination of their own future,
but at the same time Sadat
agreed'on behalf of many
Arabs that Israel would have
a right to defend itself."
The President added that
"I have never questioned
Israel's right to defend herself against terrorism" and
affirmed that "this government and this President will
never abandon Israel. .-We
will always support Israel
and we will always do what
we can to make sure—and
we will always make sure
that Israel has the means by
which to defend themselves."

UNITED NATIONS
(JTA)—Israeli Foreign
Minister Moshe Dayan
called on Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and "the representatives of the Palestinian
Arabs residing in Judaea,.
Samaria and Gaza" to join in
the current peace negotiations between Israel and
Egypt "in order to achieve
the noble goal of a real and
durable comprehensive
peace in our area."
In his speech, prepared for
delivery at the 34th session
of the. United Nations
General Assembly late last
week, Dayan noted that the
Camp David accords provide for Palestinian Arabs
residing on the West Bank
and Gaza Strip - to be included in the peace talks.
But he reiterated Israel's
unequivocal position of no
negotiations with the Pales-
tinex Liberation Organization. Dayan said that from
June 1967 until the present,
"over 600 people,have been
murdered and 3300 others
have been wounded jn Israel
by the PLO.' It has' also ter
rorized and intimidated
Arabs prepared to negotiate
with Isreal. killing more
than 350 Arabs and injuring
about 2000 others."
Referring to the autonomy
plan for the West Bank and
Gaza Strip. Dayan noted that
"the option of creating a
third state between Israel
and Jordan is not considered
by   the   Camp   David   ac-
. cords." He said the objective
of the current autonomy
negotiations is the provision
of full autonomy for the
Palestinians in those regions.
"The Israeli Military
government and its civilian
'administration will be withdrawn as soon as a self-
governing authority has
been freely elected by the inhabitants." Dayan said.
"This frame-work also
specifies measures that will
be taken to assure the sec-
■ urity of Israel and its neighbors."
With respect to the controversial issue ot Jerusalem,
described by Dayan as "the,
eternal capital of Israel and
the Jewish people,'! fhp.For-
eign Minister stressed that
"Jerusalem- cannot be
divided again by barbed
wire and there can be no return to the repeated shootjng
at our civilians and the barbaric desecration of the Jewish quarter of the city, the
Holy Place and cemeteries
as happened before 1967."
Dayan recalled Jordan's
ban on Jews visiting the holy
places in Jerusalem before
1967 and noted in contrast.
Israel's policy of free access
to all holy places lor all religions.
Dayan referred in his
speech to the situation in
Lebanon, to the UN role in
implementing the Israeli-
Egyptian peace treaty and to
the fate of Soviet and Syrian
Jewry. In south Lebanon, he
said. Israel was compelled to
act against the PLO "in a
clear act ol self-defense.'" He
charged that PLO terrorist
groups "are still functioning"
all over Lebanon and in quite
a large number of cases inside the, (United Nations
.Interim Force in Lebanon)
UNIFIL area."
