Jewish member, as was the case in the outgoing Cabinet. He
is Max Rood, a professor of law at Leyden University, who
will serve as Minister of Interior.
Rood is Jewish on his mother's side and is linked, thereby,
to a prominent Orthodox family of Amsterdam. But he has
not been active in Jewish affairs. A member of the
"Democrats 66" party, which is left of center, he served for
several years'as chairman of the Humanist League in
Holland. The Jewish member of the last Cabinet was Eduard
Van Thijn, a Laborite. •     .

NEW YORK (JTA)-
Shocked by the attempted
assassination last Thursday
of Israel's Ambassador to
Britain, Shlomo Argov, representatives of leading Jewish organizations rallied support behind Israel's military
operation in south Lebanon
designed to push Palestinian
terrorist forces beyond artillery and rocket range of.
Israel's northern settlements.
... the Israeli action is
"a manifestation of the
most basic responsibility
a government has to fulfill—to protect the lives
and security of its people."
Maxwell Greenberg, national chairman of the Anti-
Defamation League of B'nai
B'rith, said the Israeli action
is "a manifestation of the
most basic responsibility a
government has to fulfill—to
protect the lives and security
of its people." Greenberg
called on the Reagan Administration to launch a worldwide "diplomatic offensive"
with the "goal of quarantining the PLO, of busting it
from international agencies .. . and of denying it
financial and military support."
I Henry Siegman, executive
director of the American
Jewish Congress, said that
the Israeli action is solely
designed to eliminate the
PLO's military structure in
Lebanon. "A truth we must
all confront is that only when
the PLO is no longer capable
of backing its vehement
opposition to the Camp
David process with military
power can the peace negotiations be expected to produce
significant  results,"   Sieg-
French Catholic Weekly Found
Guilty Of Anti-Jewish Attacks
Soviet Advisors In Jordan
TEL AVIV (JTA)—The United States has passed informal
tion to Israel that "several score" Soviet advisors are presently operating in Jordan, according to Israeli military
sources quoted by Israel Radio. The sources expressed hope
that the Jordanians were fully awafe of the dangers arising
from the presence of Soviet advisors on their soil. Their presence is believed to be connected with the ground-to-air missile systems King Hussein ordered from the Soviet Union two
years ago. Western sources were quoted as saying the Jordanians intend to site the missiles along their border with
Syria rather than on the border with Israel,
PARIS (JTA)-The prestigious French Catholic wfiek-
ly,. Temoignage Chretien,
was found guilty by a criminal court here of inciting
/racial hatred in an editorial
attacking Israel as a "terrorist state" and raising the
charge of deicide against
Jews. Its editor, Georges
Montaron, was fined 1500
Francs ($300) on grounds
that the editorial overstepped the bounds of normal political commentary
and contained material likely to arouse anti-Jewish
feelings.
•   The nature of the editorial
surprised  many  because

, Back Israel
man said.
Rabbi Alexander Schindler, president of the Union of
American Hebrew Congregations, assailed the United
Nations for its recent resolutions expressing concern
over the territorial integrity
of Lebanon. "Where was the
UN when the terrorist
PLO—banished from Jordan
by King Hussein—moved into Lebanon in 1970 and set up
a mini-government there
without regard to the independence and sovereignty or
territorial integrity of Lebanon?" Schindler asked.
Urges Community
To Respond
Robert Loup, national
chairman of the United Jewish Appeal, called on the
American Jewish community to respond to the crisis
in Israel by immediately
launching an all out effort to
complete the 1982 U J A/Community Campaign. "We
must take all possible steps
to increase the flow of cash
to meet the basic human
needs of the people of Israel
and to do all we can to ensure
the quality and continuity of
life throughout this, crisis,"
Loup said.
Temoignage Chretien,
though pro-Palestinian in its
views, reputedly represents
"progressive liberal" elements in the French Catholic
Church. French circles were
also puzzled by an editorial
in the Moroccan government
controlled newspaper
L'Opiruon, on May 30, which
called the Holocaust a Zionist hoax and claimed that
Israeli Premier Menachem
Begin was more vicious than
Hitler. Morocco traditionally
has been moderate in the
Middle East conflict.
The French court acted

Americans for a Safe
Israel said that they "applaud" the decision by the
Israeli government to "eliminate" the PLO in Lebanon.
"Just as other nations
demonstrate their right to
protect the safety of their citizens, the Israeli government has the right and the
obligation to protect its- citizens who find themselves
under constant threat of missiles and artillery attack,"
the organization said. The
statement Was signed by the
organization's chairman,
Herbert Zweibon, and director, Peter Goldman.
Earlier, Jewish organization officials expressed their
outrage at the assassination
attempt on Argov and in
various statements released
throughout the weekend,
blamed the Palestine Liberation Organization for the

Community Reacts
To Israeli Invasion
"The security of the State of Israel
can best be determined by Israelis."
In what has been called the worst breakdown yet in
the cease-fire negotiation last July by the United States
and the United Nations, Israeli troops launched attacks
into Lebanon against PLO strongholds. The hostilities
were undertaken after Shlomo Argov, the Israeli
ambassador to Great Britain, was shot and critically
wounded by terrorists in London Thursday night. Five
Arabs were arrested as suspects in the shooting, but
the PLO has denied responsibility,
Sunday night, the U.N. Security Council unanimously demanded that Israel withdraw its forces from
Lebanon and asked both Israelis and the PLO to
observe an earlier cease-fire call.
U.S. presidential envoy, Philip Habib, arrived in
Israel Sunday night on a peace mission, but Monday,
an estimated 20,000 Israeli troops, backed by tanks,
struck across southern and central Lebanon.
Reaction in the Columbus Jewish community varied
from expressions of concern to clear-cut enthusiastic
support for the Israeli position. Charles Schiffman,
Executive Director of the Columbus Jewish Federa-
tion.jsummed up the general feeling by noting the failure oTffie United States' efforts, through Philip Habib,
to bring peace to the area. "These efforts have been going on for a year, and we still can't get Syria or
Lebanon to disarm," he said. "In fact, during that time
they have built up their arms." He also noted numerous violations of the truce by the PLO, both in the Mid-
East and around the world. "The security of the State
of Israel can best be determined by Israelis," Schiffman stressed. "They are under the gun and we certainly can't second guess their security decisions," he
concluded.
