Murder at ' Mi c
The murder of two members of the Israeli Olympic
team at Munich was born of nationalistic insanity and
desperado mentality.
The murders and the holding of the Israeli athletes as
hostages is - in respect to the liberation struggles of the
Arab peoples - counter-revolutionary. It would divert the
struggles of the Arab peoples into a perpetual St. Valen-
tine's Day massacre, into Al Capone-Bugs Moran-type
operations.
No amount of nationalistic declamation can alter the
disastrous consequences of the murder-hostage operation.
. Similarly, loud outcries of horror from Golda Moir
cannot.cover up her government's complicity in the "'sac-
red" blood-feud routine. Since the 1967 war, the Israel
military forces have attacked' Lebanese. Syrian and Jord-
anian villages time and again, slaughtering innocent men,.
women ?and children. Time and again the United Nations
Security Council has denounced these attacks. But the Gol-
da Meir government has refused to desist from its inhuman
course. .
More selective are the activities of. Israeli intelli-
gence, in collaboration with the Central Intelligence
Agency. systematically carrying out 'icts of terrorism
against the leaders of the Arab national-liberations move-
ment.
In a climate so favorable to barbarism it is not sur-
prising that Rabbi Meir Kahane. leader of the Jewish
Defense League. has found a haven there. In August he
,proclaimed in Jerusalem a program for kidnaping Soviet.
diplomats and holding them hostage - the very acts per-
petrated in Munich.
The complicity of the Israeli government in the en-
couragemen.t of terrorism is palpable. it welcomed Ka-
hane despite the gangster depredations of the JDL in the
U.S.A.. including attacks on Jewish organizations and the
murder of a young Jewish woman in impresario Sol Ilu
rok's office in New York.
Our nation's complicity in this frightful game of
political murder should not be overlooked. The sickening
competition between President Nixon and Senator George
McGovern in praise of the Israeli government means com-
plicity in that government's barbaric acts.
Five years.have elapsed between, the June 1967, war
and the 'Munich games and the time is.long, overdue to
abide by the November 1967 resolution of the U.N. Security
Council to secure peace in the Middle East.

time, however, Hussein protested that
Mrs. Meir was undercutting him by ob-
serving during her latest U.S. visit that
Palestinian statehood was only a ques-
tion of redrawing Jordan's boundaries.
The King was' prepared to grant Pal-
estinian autonomy of a sort, he said,.
but under his rule, and not as the nu-
cleus of an independent Palestinian state.
Seeking the Mantle. On that note of
amiability the meeting ended. Both sides
kept - the discussion secret, but Israel
was particularly sensitive. Mrs. Meir's
government has publicly insisted that it
will not talk with the U.N.'s Jarring
until Egypt removes its newly emplaced
Soviet-built missiles from the Suez Ca-
nal Zone. Israel's Cabinet was startled,
therefore, when an opposition member
said in the Knesset last week that he
had heard about the Hussein-Allon talks
and demanded to know why Israel's par-
liament had not been briefed on them.
His question was erased from parlia-
mentary records, and censors refused
to let newsmen report it.
There was speculation, that the ques-
tion had been planted by supporters of
Defense Minister Moshe Dayan. With
key Labor Party elections set for mid-
December, Dayan is locked in an in-
creasingly bitter battle with Allen, Eban
and Finance Minister Pinhas Sapir, the
party's kingmaker, over who should be
designated heir apparent to Mrs. Meir.

Amiable exchange in an air-conditioned car.
DEFENSE MINISTER DAYAN
Cross words over the Premier's phone.
To make himself more acceptable to
party moderates and to demonstrate in-
dependence, Dayan is striving to change
his hawkish image. In recent months,
for example, he has proposed that both
Israel - and . Egypt Pull back 13 miles
from their Suez Canal fortifications so
that the canal can be reopened. Two
weeks ago, at a Labor Party meeting in
Haifa, Dayanalso suggested that Israel
reopen the Jarring talks in earnest. To
end the Arab conflict, he said, "we
must plunge into some very cold water,
because we are not interested in con-
tinuing the war."
Furious, Mrs. Meir telephoned Dayan
and reminded him that her government
was still publicly opposed to talks be-
cause of Egyptian and Soviet missile
movements near Suez, and that the
U.S. was increasing its arms shipments
to Israel to counterbalance those move-
ments. In fact, both the U.S. and Israel
have quietly decided that "rectification,"
or rollback, of the missiles is a dead
issue. Even so, when Dayan told Golda
that he had been misquoted, the Pre-
mier hung up on him.
After that conversation, articles crit-
ical of Dayan began to appear in major
Israeli newspapers last week. They were
almost certainly inspired by anti-Dayan
leaders of the Labor Party. Dayan's en-
emies are not all congregated in the
Labor hierarchy. Earlier, the magazine
Ha'olam Hcizeh (This World) had pub-
lished a highly suspicious story claiming
to document an attempt to recruit the
Defense Minister into the CIA in 1959, \
when he was a private citizen. The mag-
azine reproduced a letter, purported to
be from the Pentagon to a U.S. mil-
itary attache in Tel Aviv, which or-
dered him to arrange Dayan's enlistment
with the local CIA station chief. In the
O1s6101 R00060006000.1c42was an-
other story, which took laudatory note
of Alton's "heavy work schedule."

It is said that on one occasion, at rho
height of the fighting, Dayan dlmbed
into the bushes and fell asleep. Head-
quarters wero unable to confect him and
,his unit suffered heavy losses....
And here fs what Dayan's former
chief, the late Israeli General Jizchak
Sacleh, who commanded t)to under-
ground Palmach detachments, said of
him:
"Dayan is the most dannerous man
in Israel. I-Io must ba watched all rho
time. Ile has no scruples, no inhibitions,
no morals. I?Ic is caik~blc of anything."
In the 'opinion of military specialists,
Dayan committed many strate~lcal and
tactical blunders during the Israell
aggression against Egypt in 1956. At
that limo Tel Aviv was saved by the

And, lastly, during the Israeli aggres-
sion against the U.A.R., Jordan and
' Syria !n June i9G7, if vre are to believe .:
the statement of the late Premier Levi .:
Eshkol in his interview to the Tel Aviv
Ycdlot Aharanoth, Dayan did not par- .
titularly distinguish himself either as
.straEeglst or tactician. But as regards
savage punitive operations against tho
Arabs, he is, of course, a generally re-
cognized master.
It may be recalled that Dayan, having ,
retired from the army in 1956, was ;
appointed War Minister only on June 1,
1967, that is, four days prior to Israel's j
attack on the neighbouring Arab countri- .
es. By that time the Israeli army was well j
equipped with modern arms from the
arsenals of the United States, Britain.

machine of aggression when it was
