Former military intelligence chie assess Israel’s arms supply to Ira Scene of special Hanuka This 18th century home in Norfolk, Va., was the residence of Moses Myers, one of the city’s most prominent citizens of his day and its first permanent Jewish settler. He reportedly entertained President James Monroe here. Now a museum open to the public, the house will be the scene of special Hanuka festivities. See story, page 32. by Hugh Orgel TEL AVIV (JTA)—Two for mer chiefs of Israel’s military intelligence see advantages for Israel in the supply of arms to Iran but differ over whether Is rael would benefit if Iran won its six-year-old war with Iraq. Res. Gen. Aharon Yariv, direc tor of Yaffee Institute for Stra tegic Studies at Tel Aviv Univer sity, believes Israel’s interests would be served if the war con tinues, or at least ends in a stale mate because there can be no Eastern front against Israel as long as the war continues. But Res. Maj. Gen. Yehoshua Saguy, a member of Yaffee Insti tute staff, said President Reagan was right to supply arms to Iran, even though he failed in trying to explain it to the American peo ple. Yariv and Saguy participated in a seminar on the Gulf war last week. According to Saguy, Israel has an interest in an Iranian victory in the Persian Gulf war because there is at least a chance it would then remain in the Western orbit. Yariv, however, said a victory for the regime of the Ayatolla Rohol- lah Khomeini w'ould be “a disas ter” for Israel. Yariv said a good case could be made for Israel to supply enough arms to Iran to prevent an Iraq victory, but not enough to ensure a victory for Iran. He admitted he did not know what had happened with respect to arms for Iran. Reagan got into deep trouble with his supporters and adversar ies alike last week when he con ceded that the White House had been secretly sending arms to Iran in hope of gaining ground with “moderate” elements who might succeed Khomeini. He also admitted, after deny ing it in a nationally televised press conference last Wednesday night, that a “third country” had been involved in the clandestine operation. Reagan did not name the country but White House aides had said earlier in the week that it was Israel. Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir said last Thursday that it “has never been, and is still not, Israel’s policy to disclose anything about arms sales to other countries.” He also said he had no sympathy for either side in the Gulf war. Yariv explained that even if Iran does not win the Gulf war, and whether or not it continues to have differences with its neighbors, “we have an interest, in the long term, in relations with Iran.” He said he understood “that we sell arms to Iran when she is in a difficult situation, and since we have no interest in an Iraqi vic tory. What I do not understand — and 1 hope this did not happen — would be the sale of arms to Iran in quantity and kind which could result in victory for the Kho meini regime, because this could be a disaster for us. We are not talking about monetary gain but about helping a great friend (the U.S.) and preparing the ground by Michael Deverey Kansas City Jewish Chronicle KANSAS CITY (JTA)—Con troversial Knesset member Rabbi Meir Kahane was arrested last week in Overland Park, Kan., a suburb of Kansas City, on a charge of disorderly conduct fol lowing a brief clash with Palesti nian protesters during his speech. He was released on his own recognizance and is scheduled to be arraigned in Overland Park Municipal Court on Dec. 2. He could send a lawyer in his place. for relations (with Iran) witht giving Khomeini victory.” He said Israel had lessons to learn from the Gulf war, particu larly Iraq’s use of chemical wea pons. which have not been used since World War 1, except by the late Egyptian president, Gamal Abdel Nasser, in his military ad venture in Yemen in the 1960s. The peril, Yariv pointed out, is that other Arab countries also have chemical weapons and this must serve as a warning to Israel. according to a spokesman for the Overland Park Police Depart ment. About 20 minutes into Kahane’s 75-minute address on Tuesday evening, Nov. 18, at the Double- tree Hotel in Overland Park, he berated Arab presence in Israel. Mousa Shukair, 41. a member of the Palestinian Human Rights Coalition, and a group of sup porters began shouting from the back of the hotel’s meeting room. “You took their land from them,” yelled one. Kahane yelled for the protesters to be quiet while he spoke. When they did not, Kahane demanded that the police eject Shukair. Then, numerous police and hotel security officers and about 140stunned onlookers went hush as the rabbi charged at Shukair. Arms Hailed, punches reportedly were thrown, and Gary Lock hart, a Kach International mem ber from Lawton, Okla., helped police separate the rabbi and Shukair. Shukair and one of his suppor ters. Rezek Muslet, 26. were led away in handcuffs by police, charged with disorderly conduct. Another half dozen of their sup porters also left the ballroom. Despite the interruption, Ka hane, founder of the militant Jewish Defense League and the Kach Party’s lone member of Knesset, continued his speech at Police arrest Kahane after K.C. disturbance See Kahane, page 26.
