Premier ruSes out PaiesUhian state
By EDWIN, EYTAN
PARIS — Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir has offered a preview of his long-awaited peace plan. It is based on the premise that *'a Palestinian state is unimaginable."
Shamir outlined his peace scenario and expressed strongly held views in a remarkably candid interview published in the French daily Z^Mo^fdie.
He is expected to present his peace plan to President Francois Mitterrand of France, when he visits Paris next month, and to President George Bush in Washington, on his visit there in March.

By JANNETTE MULHOLLAND Calling media misrepresentation of Israel a link in a chain of libelsthat goes back centuries, Tel Avivdistrict court judge Hadassa Ben-Itto delivered an impassioned speech to a hushed, full house at the recent Hadassah-WIZO Youth Aliyah campaign opener held at Beth Israel.
Ben-Itto, twice a member of Israel's delegation to.the : United Nations; said her experiences there taught h^ that the UN; is "^ anti-Semitism."
Citing the "Zionismis racism'' resolution as a modern day equivalent of Hitler's Mein Kampf, Ben-Itto told several behind-the-scenes stories of her time there — stories of Israel getting "second-c^lass citizen'* treatment, being asked not toco-sponsorany resolutions for fear of Arab reactions and continuous libels against Jews which went unchallenged on the floor of the U.N.
"We are still being called Christ-killers, and that we drink non-Jewish blood once a year (at Passover). And there is nobody there to say that this is not so," she said.
Shecalled onhcraudience to be the ones to stand up and say it is' not so.
the world, rallying Jewish communities to arm themselves with facts and educate their neighbors so "the poison will not spread" and infect the world.
This poison, she explained, comes in many forms — blintantly anti-Semitic cartoons and materials out of Russia, the press casting of Israel as the villain in the imi/b^a andi most shockingly,.new editions being published of the Proiocois of the Elderx of Zion "in many languages all over the world." It is this book, she said, that was directly related to the pogroms in Russia.
She is angry at the libels, and angrier still that "we are turning our heads and doing nothing about it."
"Israel is in the midst of a bloody war, being fought in front of T. V! cameras. We are'doing the best we can, and making agonizing decisions that are tearing iij. apart." ,
She stated that this war is being turned iivo a h'.iinan rights issue, with Israel being represented iiN the \ ilain. "This is a libel, not just against Israel, but aginasi the Jewish people."
She added that after the Holocaust it was n i popular to be anti-Semitic. "So now they turn from branding us as an inferior race to being a super race, the Hitlers of the world.'
