WHEN FIDEL CASTRO spoke last week before the United Nations General Assembly, his condemnation of Israel rolled out easily. His attack marked the high point of the savagery levelled at Israel from the rest of the General Assembly. When he bound Zionism to Nazism, Castro mocked two concepts dear to the Jewish people--the integrity of history and the integrity of language. As Castro brandished the term "genocide" he trivialized, for the sake of immediate political gain, the past suffering of the Jews. But far more dangerously, this reckless misuse of the term bodes ill for oppressed all over...
With historical irony of which he must have been aware, Castro chose to brand Israel and the Jewish people with the same crime whose name was created in 1944 to distinguish their suffering from simple murder. The Jewish state that rose in 1948, did so in large measure because genocide was so horrific as to mandate the most comprehensive safeguard that it might happen never again.

...shuns the PLO because it uses terrorist tactics. But Israeli guerrillas--under Menachem Begin--also used terrorist tactics in the period before the creation of Israel in 1948. Moreover, the recent bombings of civilian Palestinian camps in Lebanon are as deplorable as violent raids by Palestinian terrorists...
...Israel and the Arab nations also must pay more attention to the plight of the Palestinians. But a change in the American policy toward the PLO would make it more likely for other countries to follow suit. Israel Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan already has met with PLO sympathizers--a significant step forward indicating that Israeli policy with respect to the Palestinians may not be as rigid as most people believe, particularly if the next prime minister adopts a more moderate position than Begin's entrenched opposition to a palestinian state...
