Shahak does not shrink from using his professor ship at the "Zionist/racist" Hebrew University to defame the State of Israel. The Arab propaganda machine has been distributing this professor's material throughout this country, particularly on college campuses. The title of The Crimson article, "An Israeli Professor Fights for Human Rights" bears witness to your gullibility. The Harvard Crimson has made the anti-Israel propagandists' job that much easier at Harvard University...
...most probable candidate for that job would be Wadi Haddad, 48, a squat Palestinian who operates covertly from both Libya and Iraq. (He seeks anonymity to a point that one of the few pictures of him known to have existed has been stolen from the files of an Arab government intelligence agency.) Born in Safad, near Lake Tiberias, Haddad studied pediatric medicine at the American University of Beirut and later joined a fellow student, George Habash, to form the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Haddad split completely with Habash last year over the skyjacking issue...
...Palestinians. Of the six major organizations within the P.L.O., Habash's PFLP is the most likely to spearhead a resurgence of terrorism if Palestinians are not suitably represented at a Geneva peace conference. The PFLP is radically Marxist in ideology and seeks to overthrow conservative Arab regimes. Active membership: about 3,500 guerrillas. Terrorist exploits: skyjackings, bombings, an occasional tour de force such as the capture of more than 80 people who were held hostage in their Amman, Jordan, hotel rooms for two days in 1970 to dramatize the Palestinian plight...
West Germany and Japan both have their hands full trying to dispose of the mounting stockpile of spent fuel at their reactors. The Bonn government, for instance, rapidly accelerated its nuclear electrification program after the 1973 Arab oil boycott, and now has 13 atomic power plants. But the whole program has fallen into a state of semiparalysis as a result of political opposition and a barrage of court injunctions from environmentalists...
...bring down unemployment. And businessmen already have plenty of cause for such caution. The deep recession of 1973-75 shook their faith that the economy would keep rising, with only minor setbacks; the double-digit inflation of 1974 made them doubt that they could realistically estimate future costs; the Arab oil embargo of 1973 and the fears of energy shortages that followed caused them to wonder whether they could find fuel to power new plants, and at what price. Investment always involves some risk, of course, but in the minds of many executives the risks now outweigh the potential rewards...
