Moving beyond the hostage crisis and Afghanistan, the Islamabad conference blasted the U.S., Egypt and Israel for their role in the Camp David accords and other "subversive measures engineered by the imperialist and Zionist aggressors" against the Palestinians. Muslim states were urged to sever all ties with Cairo, while Israel was denounced for the Knesset's preliminary approval two weeks ago of a bill declaring Jerusalem the country's perpetual and indivisible capital...
...confuse matters, through prisms of regional absurdity, the propaganda weapons of both regimes were busy attacking not only each other but the U.S. as well. The Ayatullah Ruhollah Khomeini, the stridently abrasive spiritual leader of Iran's revolution, called for international help in opposing "Zionist Iraq and the U.S." At the same time, the official newspaper of Iraq's Baathist ruling party blamed Iran's unruly actions on "the U.S., international Zionism, the Sadat regime and all the signatories to the Camp David accords...

All the governments have decided this. Maybe there should be a zoo for us. You know, with a sign reading HERE IS A TERRORIST...
That idea was given a forceful public statement last month by Professor Yacob Talmon, a leading historian at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and a staunch Zionist. In a letter to the Tel Aviv daily Ha'aretz, Talmon acidly denounced Begin's autonomy idea as "an archaic concept, a trick to shut the Gentile's mouth."

...Palestinian autonomy. Limited as it may be, Begin's plan is widely seen as a necessary first step toward peaceful coexistence. Many U.S. Jews now feel that some agreement must be reached with the Palestinians, provided Israel's right to exist is recognized. But apart from anti-Zionist mavericks like Alfred Lilienthal, editor of Middle East Perspective, few Jewish Americans are ready to accept the idea of an independent Palestinian state, at least in the foreseeable future...
