LOS ANGELES (JTA)-An
Israel Druze Arab member of the
Knesset told a meeting of the
Community Relations Committee
of the Council of Jewish Federations
that the media in the U.S. has
exaggerated and distorted Druze
protests over Israeli annexation of
the Golan Heights.
Zeidan Atashi, who has acted as
an unofficial mediator between the
Golan Druze and the Israeli
government, said that only about
9,000 Druze live in the Golan as
compared to some 45,000 living in
the rest of Israel. And, of that
number, he observed, a “silent
majority” do not support the
general strike called in the area to
protest annexation. Atashi said
that media distortions make it
seem as though the strike action
has unanimous support, not only
in the Golan, but among the Druze
in the rest of Israel. This, he said, is
simply not true.
"The Druze in the Golan have
had several concerns regarding
annexation. In my role as
,unofficial mediator I have
attempted to answer their
questions,” Atashi said. "They
were chiefly concerned about the
draft, about whether Israeli
citizenship would be imposed and
whether their land would be
confiscated.”
Atashi met with government
officials and then with Golan
Druze political and religious
leaders. He reassured them that
there would be no imposition of
Israeli citizenship and that their
young people will not be subject to
the draft. The land issue, however,
proved a bit difficult for him to
answer.
"The major problem with land
holdings in the area is that after the
'67 war, the Druze acquired the
land without title. They just settled
where they wanted and began to
cultivate it. This creates some
problems and I could not provide
area leaders with any firm answer
about what will happen to their
land,” Atashi said.
Israeli Communist Party
people, Atashi charged, inspired
the protest in the Golan to further
their own aims. He said that the
main reason for the general strike
is the fact that Druze leaders fear
that if they cooperate with Israel,
Syria may harm relatives still
living in Syria or that if the area is
somehow returned to the Syrians,
they themselves will be dealt with
harshly
Atashi said that the religious-
inspired boycott has recently been
lifted and that life was getting back
to normal. He said the matter is
“not serious anymore” and that
Israeli authorities have promised
they will not take any action
against protestors until after April
I. “I believe the situation will
completely dissipate itself by then
and there will be no need for any
government action,” Atashi
concluded.
He reassured the audience that
Druze Arabs in Israel remain loyal
to the country, are proud to be
Israeli citizens and serve in the
army. He said his goal during his
visit to the U.S. is to correct the
false impression that the U.S.
media has conveyed about the
situation.
^ Moynihan urges pressure in L/./V.n
NEW YORK (JTA) Senator Daniel Moynihan (D-N.Y.)
called upon the U.S. to declare its intention to "suspend
participation in the General Assembly” and “to withhold its
assessed contribution to the United Nations" if Israel is “expelled,
suspended, denied credentials or in any other way or manner
denied rights and privileges in the General Assembly.”
Addressing over 1,300 leaders of the Young Israel movement at
its 70th anniversary national dinner in Manhattan recently,
Moynihan emphasized, “We must make it clear that the U.S. will
respond vigorously to any challenge of Israel’s rights to
membership in the United Nations.”
Moynihan was the recipient of the “Freedom Award" of the
National Council of Young Israel, whose president, Harold Jacobs,
lauded him as “the voice of truth in a tower of lies" when Moynihan
served as the U.S. Ambassador to the U N.
