The cutting edge Continued from page 6. indicated, “If the plane would have approached Tel Aviv, it would have been shot out of the sky. You’ll remember what happened when a Libyan airliner flew toward (security emplacements in) Sinai. So imagine what we would have done if they would have flown toward Tel Aviv.” He added that an Egyptian Tupolov bomber ap proached Tel Aviv during the Yom Kippur War and was “shot out of the air out to sea.” While the intent of the terrorists is important for Israeli security The Jewish Labor Committee reports that a resolution condemn ing the Soviet Union for “consis tently and deliberately not deliver ing mail to certain of its citizens, notably Soviet Jews and others expressing a desire to emigrate,” was passed by the American Postal Workers Union AFL-CIO at its recent convention in San Francisco. The resolution charges the Soviets with interfering with mail service, in violation of human rights guar antee contained in numerous inter national agreements, including the 1975 Helsinki Final Act, to which the USSR was a signatory. The motion resolves “that the Ameri can Postal Workers Union AFL- CIO goes on record condemning interference with mail service by the Soviet Union or any other country; such interference must cease, and fundamental human rights—including the right to re ceive mail—must be respected with out qualifications.” APWU repre analysts, the willingness of terror ists to by-pass boarding procedures to stage a perimeter breach is of even greater importance. Very few airports El A1 uses have yet estab lished perimeter integrity, or even a secure airport personnel system. Paris’s De Gaulle airport is bor dered by trenches, and patrolled by armored personnel carriers. And the Frankfurt airport has long been patrolled for terrorists wielding shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles. But access to London’s Heathrow, and the airports at Vienna, Rome and Athens are still woefully in adequate. sents more than 320,000 employees of the U.S. Postal Service and is an active member of Postal, Telegraph and Telephone International, the world body of communications unions. JLC President Herb Magidson called the resolution significant on two planes. “An important organi zation—the largest postal union in the world—has once again pub licly protested the treatment of Soviet Jewry. Furthermore, this resolution has the potential to alle viate the physical and spiritual iso lation suffered by Soviet Jews, brought about by their government’s interception of mail.” The Jewish Labor Committee is comprised of Jewish trade union ists, Labor Zionists, secular Yid- dishists and other labor-oriented activists in the American Jewish community, and serves as a link between the Jewish community and the American labor movement. Even mon* vulnerable perhaps are the international airports in America. Chicago’s O’Hara and New York’s JFK have repeatedly been the subject of mock terrorist penetrations by television repor ters driving onto the tarmac, or masquerading as airplane service personnel. With the advent of inter national flights from such inland airports as those in Atlanta and Dallas, the security dimension only multiplies. But American airport security officials assert they are unwilling to install a restricted access to U.S. airports. “What’s called for is armed guards around the perimeter,” argued Netanyahu. “This is what we use in Israel (at Ben-Gurion Airport) and it works.” Turning to the synagogue mas sacre in Istanbul, Netanyahu as serted, “I don’t think it’s a coinci dence that the Karachi and Istanbul attacks occurred a day apart. None of these terrorist attacks are separ ate, they are all coordinated and part of a pattern intended to sap our world.” Will Israel retaliate for the Is tanbul atrocity, which included setting bleeding Jewish bodies aflame? “In this case, there is a spe cial dimension, an attack on Jews,” answered Netanyahu. “We will track down those who committed this, and when we do, we shall take spe cial measures to strike at the per petrators.” Netanyahu’s statement was the strongest Israeli reaction yet. Mak ing clear that Israel would “pick the time and place,” Netanyahu declared, “The idea that wild beasts roam our waterways, our airports, our railways, our capitals and houses of worship and can get away scot free with murder is in tolerable.” Postal union protests Soviet mail interference SECOND ANNUAL CHARITY BALL Leo M.
