Ontario Region chairman Sam Taylor, on Golan Heights

ByMOURAWOLPERT
HAMILTON -
Jiist returned from his third United Jewish Appeal study mission to Israel, this time as its leader, UIA Ontario Region chairman Samuel Taylor reports finding a "remarkable unanimity of support" for Prime Minister Menachem Begin and the peace process.
"They mayobject to his tactics," said Taylor in an interview in his office, "but no matter who you talk to, they invariably agree, 'thank God He's there.'"
Questioning Yitzhak. Rabin on what wduld happen if Israel were to refuse to withdraw from the remaining third of the Sinai next month, Rabin was emphatic that "Israel must never back down on its word" because it would give the Egyptians the opening . , . to give up on the whole process and join forces with the other Arabs.
"The Arabs have ^ different concept of peace from us," the former Prime Minister told the l2-mem,ber group. Whereas the Israelis do, in fact, mean peace, for an Arab it means only a cessation of hostilities with the Jevys. "We do not know hoNvlortg it.will take before "these two concepts, can be. fused into one common thought to the benefit of all",'' Taylor quotes Rabin as saying.
Leo Marciis, director-general of the Israel office of UIA Canada, spoke to the mission of the double standard when it comes to Israel.
"It was quite in order forthe U.S; to take protective action against Cuba but any protective action taken by Israel is not acceptable," he noted;
The survival of Israel is really "the gut issue," Marcus told the mission. "We cannot win our political battles until we tell our people the way it is. There definitely is a partnership between Israel and the Diaspora and in the corning months it will be tested more than ever," he said.
What counts is not the attitude towards Israel of countries such as Britain, France. Germany, the U.S. or any other country, but what Israel does.' It is the manner in which the Jews are prepared to stand up and be counted -that will determine the future fate of the state, Marcus said.
At • an' aircraft factory ther group saw a lineup of 747s owned by various U.S. airlines waiting to be overhauled — evidence, says Taylor, "that. Jewish knowhow and the
Jewish 'kop' is not merely myth but fact, At the Mediterranean Dead Sea Canal project headquarters at S'dom they were briefed by the head of the information department,' Dr. Shlomo Droji, who said the project will eventually provide enough power to take care oi" all of Israel's energy needs.
"If Israel were left alone," comments Taylor enthusiastically, "It would become the most prosperous country in the world."
The mission visited settlements in the Arava "in the middleof nowhere," where one member of the mission remarked that "it was like living on the moon," and Mitzpa Manof in the Gali}, where several young South Africans "from rather comfortable backgrounds" have chosen to settle and develop an imitation diamond marketing enterr prise.
The men toured the Yamit area and listened to Ella Weitzman of Sadot outline the concerns of the remaining Sinai settlers, and they observed.at first hand the progress being made in Or Yehuda, the Ontario and Maritime communities' Project Renewal area.
But the highlight of the ;"trip was < a visit to an absorption, centre for
Ethiopian Jews in Ashke-lon, one of five such settlements in Israel and housing 276 Falashas. 70 of them children.. . . "little Black dolls, cute as but^ tons.".
The problem of integrat ing people who have never had running water or indoor plumbing, let alone know what a toothbrush is, are "gargantuan" and Taylor, commends Israeli officials for the way they are handling the job.
A particularly emotional moment occurred when the group entered a Hebrew class of Ethiopian men. Upon learning from their teacher that the visitors were men from Canada who were responsible for raising the money which had made their immigration to Israel possible, "two meii got up, walked overto nfie and kissed my hands,'-' recalls Taylor.
In addition to Taylor, those taking part in the mission were Morton Ber-man and Avi Siegel of Kingston; Lazar Cartu, St. Catharines; Jeff Dwor,. Port Colborne; Gerome Garson and Robert Ker-nerman, Windsor; Rabbi Morton Green, Hamilton; Rabbi Joseph Kelman, Toronto; Ronald Levene. Kitchener - Waterloo; Moiiy. Pekar, Burlington. :and Dr.vAUan Sh3t»ei?Mea-ford.

By ARNOLD AGES
TORONTO —
Kamel Abdel Maiek, the first Egyptian student to study In Israel, believes that normalization between Israel and Egypt will continue.after April 25: because Sadat's precedent-shattering trip to Israel was the fruition of ideas he borrowed from Egyptian intellectuals.
"It is pennissible to have some doubts on this scorcj" saidMaIek, who is ^ currently completing a . history degree at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, ' 'provided those are healthy doubts — rather than morbid ones."
Malek is author of a soon - to - be - published book: Israel, in the Eyes of an Egyptian.
He told a recent luncheon meeting here of the Canadian Professors
for Peace in the Middle • East that as a young ;Egyptian, his stereotyped image of Israel began to change "only after the Six Day War of 1967 and its disruptive aftermath.
■ His perceptions were further altered when he came . across a copy of Golda Meir's autobiography, My Life. "This was the first bookby an Israeli I had ever seen," Malek said. "It was not so much the content that overr whelmed me . . . but the fact that I actually held suchabook in my hands."
Malek told his CPPME listeners that he was so impressed with Meir's book that he wrote the Israeli Prime Minister, asked for the translation rights'into Ara^)ic, inquired about study at an Israeli university, and queried her as to whether Sadat had really kissed her dur^
ing his visit toJeruSalem. :
"The Prime Mhiister replied that the translation rights were not her-s to give, that she had recommended me for a scholar-, _ship at Hebrew University, and, no, Sadat had not kissed her!'*
During the academic year 1979-80 Malek took iip a scholarship offer at .the Hebrew University, after university work in Canada, and part-time translating activities for Canadian corporations working for the Saudi governriient. .
"You might say that the Saudis helped pay for my studies in Israel," said Malek puckishly.
As the first Egyptian student to study in Israel Abdel Malek had some memorable expieriences. At Heathrow airport in London on his way to Tel 'Aviv, ticket agents ex-
pressed astonishment and alarm about his/destination. He had to reassure airport personnel that he was indeed headed for the Jewish state and — with--^ out explosives on his person.
Security people at Lod were equally wary when they interrogated Malek about the purpose of his visit to Israel.
"I assiired them constantly about my study projects and plans for the ■year. ITiey. became veiy suspicious when I replied to their questions about, which kibbutz I would be staying on. Not knowing anything afaiout the kibbutz movement, I explained that officials hi Tel Aviv would choose one for me but that my personal preference was for one on the sea. That response prompted alarm and more questions."
Eschewing political analysis. Malek spoke movingly about his many contacts with. Israelis, from the Yemenite cab driver who shook his hand ceremoniously upon hearing that his fare was an Egyptian (and who invited him for Shabbat dinner) to the kibbutz girl who screamed in astonishment' when she discovered that the young volunteer was from Cairo. In an Israieli bank,; Malek's Egyptian origin produced a stream of "shaloms" from bank clients.
At Hebrew U Malek spent the summer months learning Hebre\y in order to be able to take regular courses. Israeli students weire iriitially cautious and reserved in their approach to him.
"I .was happy aI>out this. I didn't believe that over-reacting would have
been an appropriate response. I wanted to be treated as an ordinary student, not as a symbol of anything," he said.
By the end of the academic year Malek had blended into the academic .. environment well enough to share student gossip about professors and cultivate friendships on the human level.
"I knew that I had achieved a kind of personal normalcy in Israel when I had a dispute with a cab driver' over a 50-pound fare. We went to the police for adjudication. They were too busy. I told the driver that I would negotiate with him and was prepared to settle if he met me half way — 25 pounds.
' 'Not knowing that I was an Egyptian, he said to me simply: *Ata ben adam' — you are a decent person.
That human exchange confirmed for me what is desirable in the relationship between Israeli and Arab — contact as human beings without stereotypic! preconceptions'."
Malek said his' Israel experience shattered many of his own miscon^ ceptions about Israel. Be^ fore his trip and residence there.Israel had existed as a kind of myth, a distant entity of fearsome dimension.
In Egypt the word Zion-. isni had been a cod^ word for a kiqd of diabolism. In Israel he was astonished to hear it used in a positive sense. In Egypt he had shared the friendship of his cultural peers whose world view included harsh images of the Jewish state. His sudden exposure to the "other side" transformed his perceptions.
