Sartre Says Mideast Peace Can Me
Achieved By Israeli-Arab Dialogue
State Of Israel Energy Award
by EDWIN EYTAN
PARIS, (JTA) - French
philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre
who 12 years ago turned down
the Nobel Prise for Literature,
November 7 accepted an
honorary doctorate from the
Hebrew University in
Jerusalem.
Sartre, who is the founder of
existentialism, explained This
is a political acceptance of the
situation of a country whose
progress I have always followed.
I have been a friend of Israel
since its creation and even
before.”
Sartre, who has always in the
past turned down all honorary
awards, said in his short accep
tance speech: "I hope Israel will
develop in freedom and peace. It
is in a difficult situation and has
endured several painful wars. It
risks being plunged into misery
again in the future.”
The French philosopher who is
world known for his leftist cam
paigns, added a warning note:
“Peace can be achieved in only
one way — by a dialogue
between the Israelis and the
Palestinians. I think forces for
peace exist in both camps. Such
a dialogue will eventually take
place, either today or tomorrow,

because events are hastening
towards such an event.”
Sartre, who looked sick and
spoke in a weak and quavering
voice, added he was just as con
cerned for the Palestinians “who
have suffered a lot” as for the
Israelis. He repeated several
times: “A solution to the Middle
East tragedy depends on links
between the two peoples.”
In taking the scroll from the
hands of the Hebrew Universi
ty President Avraham Har
mon, Sartre said: “I accept
this gift here today as an ele
ment in helping to achieve
peace sometime.”
Israeli Ambassador to France,
Mordechai Gazit, said Israel
agrees with Sartre’s aims. The
only existing differences are on
the methods to be used. It is
believed Gazit hinted at the fact
that while Israel had always
been prepared to talk with the
Palestinians it has refused to
negotiate with the Palestine
Liberation Organization. The 71-
year-old philosopher is believed
to support a dialogue with the
PLO.
Sartre was accompanied to the
ceremony by his companion-
writer Simone de Beauvoir and
French Minister of Culture
Francoise Giroud, who said “We
are all here today because what
matters is that Israel should live
and live in peace and justice.”
Mrs. Giroud attended the
ceremony both as an old friend
of Sartre and as the personal
representative of President
Valery Giscard d'Estaing.
Members of the group of friends
of the Hebrew University came
from Israel and from all over
Western Europe to attend the
ceremony.
