I 1 The Canadian Statesman. Bowmanvillc, February 10,1988 Peace in Middle East From Page One always been a hope that there would be a re-establishment of a land for all Jewish people, said Mr. Abileah. Yet, with that hope has come the reality that political differences have put many barriers in the way of Israel's Israel's fight for independence. "There have been enough events to repeatedly say to Jews that they aren't safe because they are still guests wherever they go," said Mr. Abileah. At one time the present-day countries countries of Lebanon, Israel, Jordan and Syria were all one under the Syrian name. Unrest in the area wasn't helped when the larger area was made into the four smaller countries, according to Mr. Abileah. World War One and Two have also affected Israel's path to independence. independence. If Israel had known independence before the Second World War, many Jews could have been saved from the tragic events of the Holocaust, according according to Mr. Abileah. "Six out of 16 million Jews found death at the hands of a regime who systematically targetted to solve the Jewish situation ... by simply exterminating exterminating them," said Mr. Abileah. "Had the war (Second World War) not turned out as it did the mass killings killings would have continued," he added. In 1947, Israel received her independence. independence. Hundreds of thousands of Jews already lived in the British con- ; trolled area that became Israel, according according to Mr. Abileah. "Where there were Arabs, it became became an Arab state, and where there were Jews it became a Jewish state," said Mr. Abileah. still, even with the realization of independence, Israel's battles were not over. "The morning after the United Nations Nations resolution, we had riots, attacks, attacks, casualities and undeclared war," said Mr. Abileah. "On the day that the last British soldier soldier left Israel, seven Arab countries formally declared war against Israel.". Israel.". The other countries "assumed it would be easy to defeat the newly born Israel." According to Mr. Abileah, they have failed. "When people fight for life, and the future of their children, they fight better," he explained. Shortly after independence, a peace conference was held with area countries. Cease-fires were negotiated with the promises of future future peace agreements. Unfortunately, Unfortunately, those agreements never came about, according to Mr. Abileah. The guest speaker told the students that future peace in the Middle East depends on those long-ago promised agreements for peace. "The refusal of Arab countries to come to any peace agreement means it (the Middle East) is left without solution solution and hope of solution," he said. Still, Mr. Abileah isn't giving up hope for peace. The future of Israel depends on it. A representative of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) in Canada will be speaking at the school today (Wednesday, February 10). Other activities later in the week include include a panel discussion on the political political problems of the Middle East and various workshops led by other guests.
