the campaign. The Bond work
er who planned to attend had
a flat tire while driving out,
and arrived at the synagogue
to find the building almost
completely dark, and the Rabbi
getting ready to leave. The
Bond representative -didn’t
know whether the meeting had
been held or not, but the Rabbi
reassured him that it had taken
place, and turned over checks
totalling $190,000. This occurr
ence was a good instance of
the role of volunteers in
Israel’s emergency; in numer
ous instances, when the heavy
meeting schedule nude it im-
possible for a Bond profession
al to be present, the people
went ahead anyway and pro
duced outstanding results for
Israel.
These are but a few exam
ples of the unprecedented re
sponse to the Israel Bond drive
which was evoked by the
events of the recent past.
Americans once again demon
strated in the most compelling
terms their warm feeling for
Israel, and their faith in it as
a courageous, democratic na
tion.
The Day They
Told The Truth
by ISH SHALOM
(A Seven Arts Feature)
“War”, said Clausewitz, “is a
continuation of diplomacy by
other means”—or perhaps it
was the other way around. In
any case, his seemingly cynical
definition of the war-diplo
macy continuum, a never-end
ing struggle for power, certain
ly seemed justified by big
power behavior in the United
Nations in the wake of the
Arab-Israeli war.
As an exercise in fantasy—
and it is not a novel idea—I
used to imagine that a waggish
scientific genius had invented
an atmospheric equivalent of
“truth serum” which he had
sprayed through the hall dur
ing a recent General Assembly
debate. It was heartening to
suppose that, in the midst of
the Soviet delegate’s fulmina-
tions against “Israel, the tool
of western imperialism, which
brutally attacked the Arab
people,” he paused for breath
and inhaled a copious draught
of the scientist’s invisible po
tion.
One can imagine the dele
gate’s frowning visage slowly
easing into a self-conscious
grin.
“Of course,” he would say
in an abashed voice, “in forums
like this everybody—including
me utters a great deal of non
sense. We really can’t help it
Thats the way the game is
played—and you surely realize
that what goes on here is often
a kind of game in which, I am
afraid, there are many dirty
players. An American psychi
atrist has produced a book
called ‘Games People Play’,
which is an analysis of the
social maneuvers of individ
uals in your capitalist society.
We of the USSR, also have our
peculiar games—Party games,
as it were—which make it pos
sible, at times, for mediocre
people (like me, for instance)
to rise high in the councils of
the Party and state.
“But that is not what I came
here to tell you. I know few,
if any, of this distinguished
body were taken in by my
propaganda slogans of a few
moments ago. But you also
realized that ritual in our
modern society is just as im
portant as among the primitive
tribes in the forests, and no
member of this august assem
bly is free to act at all times
in accordance with logic and
justice.
“I don’t need to tell you
this—but, of course, our words
are aimed at the multitudes we
purport to represent. We do
not really speak to ourselves,
after all, but to the millions
who read our words in the
press and hear them on the
radio.
“No'^v" let me get down to a
few essentials. I said a moment
ago that my government was
concerned with the aggressive
behavior of Israel against our
Arab brethren. Hogwash, gen
tlemen! We’re interested
