3 I v. 3 IV- The Southern Israelite * A Weekly Newspa per for Southern Jewry — Established 1925 VOL. XXXI ATLANTA, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 1956 NO. 13 AJP ROUND-UP The News Picture By David Horowitz While the Arabs and Soviets are stalling Security Council ac tion in the fear that Dag Ham- marskjold may finally discover who the real culprits are, news from Washington reveals that the White House will now not object tf Paris and London sell arms to Israel. With this news came a re port from Paris that France has already delivered 12 Mystere jet interceptor planes to Israel. The U. S., however, is still undecided on Israel’s request for 63 million dollars worth of jet planes and other U. S. military equipment. ■ Reason given is that shipment of U. S. arms now jeopardize the current U. S. Security Council move to ease tension in Middle East. Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr. as sumes chairmanship of the Se curity Counil for the month of April. Under the title ‘‘Egypt on a Rampage,” the N. Y. Times had this to say editorially last week: “The rise of Egypt to a position of primary importance in the Middle East today is one of the most dramatic and most disturb ing developments of post-war his tory. The importance in this case,” the Times continued, "lies in the ability and determination to cause mischief.” Artd TIME Mag- agine comments: “The West had not yet achieved a sense of di rection. But it was an advance of i sorts that it had acquired at least a sense of motion.” Jordan’s king Hussein made the cover of the same April 2nd issue of TIME. Opening its story on ‘‘The Boy R King,” TIME says: ‘‘Jordan is a country that has little or no ex cuse for existence. A chunk torn from the desert, with boundaries traced on sand, it has no geogra phical unity, national identity, political history or economic via- H bility. It was created by the British for the British: an armed camp at the crossroads of the world, a watchtower in the center of oil lands they ruled in all but fact.” Not a very pretty picture for the puppet kingdom of Hus sein son of Abrullah who was as- sinated by a Mufti-inspired Arab. Areyeh Ben-Eliezer, Deputy Speaker of the Israeli Knesset and Vice-Chairman of the Herut Party, declared at a press con ference in New York last week that “we in Israel fail to under stand the inaction of the West ern powers in stopping Russian penetration into the Middle East.” Mr. Ben-Eliezer, who arrived in the States to deliver a number of lectures, said that “the only country in the Middle East that is not for sale to Russia is Israel. It is our aim to bring about a real peace between us and the Arab states,” he added. “This can only be achieved when both sides fully recognize the right of each nation to exist and live independ ently within its respective nation al borders.” Arnold J. Toynbee makes amends. In an article titled "Man Owes His Freedom to God” (Col liers, March 30), British historian Toynbed repeats time and again the great debt Christianity and Islam owe to Judaism: "each learned their lesson from' the same source — Judaism,” he in sists. In his recently-published history, Toynbee discounts the historic role of Judaism and places the offshoots above the Mother Faith. Is it possible that Toynbee has discovered his er ror? Converts to Judaism Cletas and Hazel Trinker left for Israel on the S.S. Zion last Friday as the new Israeli liner returned to Haifa on its Maiden voyage. Be fore leaving, the Trinkers were the honored guests at a farewell reception in the N. Y. head quarters of United Israel .World Union, 507 5th Avenue.
