...safety of jets outside the U.S. varies from better to worse. Many airlines in South America, Africa and Asia adhere to standards lower than those in the U.S. But the northern European carriers, among them Lufthansa, KLM, SAS and Swissair, have been investing heavily in new planes and seem to be driven by what an industry expert describes as a "Germanic passion for technical perfection." Lufthansa, which already has a fleet averaging just 6.2 years old, last March ordered 20 new Boeing 737s and took options on 20 more at a potential cost of $1 billion. Also renowned: Australia...
...Schwaber objects to any criticism of Israel whatsoever. It is disquieting that Mr. Schwaber finds the use of the pictures inflammatory, but not their content. A photograph of an Israeli soldier attempting to mace an unarmed Palestinian woman presents a far more urgent issue than the fat that the SAS chose to reprint...
...indeed disheartening that Mr. Schwaber felt the need to rely on hackneyed arguments: those who claim to be fighting for Palestinian rights are secretly seeking the destruction of the Jewish state, Palestinians are terrorist aggressors, the SAS supports terrorism, and the PLO is nothing but a terrorist organization. Fortunately, Americans are becoming more aware of the hollowness behind such accusations in light of Israel's violent responses to the current uprising. At least 123 Palestinians have been shot, beaten or tear gassed to death. Four Palestinians have been deported from their homeland, thousands of others arrested without charge. Telephone lines...
...SAS wishes to make clear that it has no official stance regarding the PLO, but it does unanimously affirm the right of Palestinians to choose their own leadership whomever they might be. Despite what anyone's personal views are toward the PLO, there is no denying that it represents the Palestinians and that it must have a role in any negotiations equal to that of Israeli representatives. Just as the PLO is willing to negotiate with Israel and the U.S. the U.S. and Israel should be willing to negotiate with the PLO. Peace is made with one's enemies...
...Society of Arab Students' tearjerking stories of Israeli atrocities and impassioned emotional pleas fail to convince me that Israel should let the riots continue. Stories of atrocities may arouse sympathy, but they are no substitute for the reasoned discourse that will lead to a political solution for Palestine. SAS should attempt to further that discourse by educating students about the actual position of the PLO, of Israel, and of Secretary of State George P. Schultz. Leave horror stories to the news media...
