TO BE FAIR, the Defence Minister does not speak, nor does he obviously intend to speak as a defeatist. The Jewish people, he says, is endowed with two qualities to maintain the struggle. One is faith. Not necessarily religious faith, but faith as the antithesis of despair, faith of the Jewish people in its way, in the justness of its cause, in its future. The second is the Biblical injunction to Jacob to 'Fear Not!' This, he declares, is the basis and precondition of the ability to stand up to the struggle and to prevail in all times and changing conditions.
In another sense the theme of the Dayan speech was taken by other commentators who argue that Israel cannot remain passive, despite continued Arab intransigence.
Ariel Ginay, in the afternoon paper Yediot Aharonot, writes that though Israel is winning the battle to persuade the Arabs of the futility of a military struggle,
. she has not done enough to con-I vince the Arabs of Israel's belief I in a third alternative.
IF THE HOSTILITIES are not
to drag into another "Hundred Years War", the Arabs must be made to realize that a War of Attrition or capitulation are not the only alternatives: there remains the possibility of a third choice which would meet the demands of Arab honor and self-respect.
Ginay notes that Prime Minister Golda Meir has just stressed again that no matter what the
parties may lay down^ in thei election platforms for the comin general elections, when the time comes to talk peace, Israel will make no prior conditions for these talks.
Still, Ginay believes that Is rael has not done enough funda, mental thinking on this questioi
There is, of course, the questio of secrecy. Deputy Premier Yig AUon told a public meeting a f e-days ago: "Details cannot be re vealed, but I can assure you th the Government has not neglect ed the slightest chance for peac talks with the Arabs. If we could we would tell of all the feeler" put out, and all the meeting held to make peace with ou neighbors."

maintains, "is survival." In the United States it takes the form of economic, cultural and religious survival, he observes.
"To begin with," Rabbi Singer suggests, "if the American Jewish organizations had a sense of the times, they would go about quietly relocating Jews now situated in those parts of the city most vulnerable to riots, robbery

or theft. "If a Jew from abroa appealed to the community her for help in relocating, he woul get it," he observes and then challenges, "but that a Jew in Brooklyn needs relocation is inr comprehensible—^never receiving a thought."
Agreeing that it would be a costly procedure, nevertheless, he calls for the abandonment of the standard social welfare programs Jews engage in paying for in-^ sisting that the basic point is; "that Jews should not have to^ live in fear, or in economically ^ depressed circumstances." He^ says the Chassidic populac6' in Brooklyn is the third largest poverty stricken group in NYC. ^

Also, the store own-l ers in ghetto areas are prime j p^rospects for relocation under;? Jewish auspices. v;
Whatever form the economic challenge takes, Singer declares, Jews should be able to handle it. They should be supported in protecting their rights and re-rnaihing in difficult situations, or they should be given the privilege of bypassing, by relocation, the problem. ' %
"We are now witnessing the erosion of the American Jewish position in the U.S.," he declares. Jewish Organized America must get "relevant" in its priorities, if indeed the Jew is to survive, emerges as the message.
