My son the biologist?
Jerusalem, (JTA)—For the Jewish parent who always wanted
their son to be a doctor, that profession is out in Israel. Being a
biologist is very definitely in. According to a survey published by
the Hebrew University’s sociology department, biologists are held
in the highest esteem among 220 professions in Israel. Doctors
rated a poor tenth.
In the descending order of prestige, after biologists, came
dentists, 1 -vyers, judges, mayors and physicists. Journalists were
down toward the bottom of the barrel behind army colonels,
rabbis and writers. Fishermen, road pavers and shoeshiners were
considered the pits.

Israel would prove not to have
toughened its substantive position.
He made his remarks to reporters
in Aswan, a day before the
opening of the military
committee’s deliberations in
Cairo.
But at the same time, Sadat
firmly reiterated that Israel's
choice was “between land and
peace,” and warned that Israel
could not hope for peace so long as
it was occupying another’s
territory.
In the Egyptian press,
meanwhile, the angry reactions to
Israel’s latest settlement actions
reached a new crescendo of
bitterness, casting a shadow over
the start of the talks in Cairo.

Rebutting Premier Menachem
Begin’s argument that land
accretion in the wake of a defensive
war is not “impermissible," the
paper continued in its editorial
Tuesday:
“It is absurd for a 7000-year-old
nation to discuss ‘territorial
changes' with a collection of
Khazar Jews who just about have
enough claim (sic) to Arab lands as
Eskimos to Tasmania. Let it be
known to Mr. Begin and his rough
crew of land-grabbers that there
can never by any peace agreement
between Egypt and Israel., so long
as one Israeli soldier remains on
Egyptian soil. The real Jews of this
world, not to be confused with Mr.
Begin’s converted-from-phallus-
worship lot, began their exodus
from Pharaonic Egypt circa 1222
B.C. with Egyptian chariots in hot
pursuit.”
Without mentioning what
happened to the chariots, the
editorial concluded: “We should
like to tell today’s! Israelis: let’s
begin the exodus once again,
gentlemen, but this time we hope
there will be no need for chariots."
