Egyptian Student Expresses View On Middle East Crisis
Mohammed I. Kazem, Cairo, Egypt, graduate student, sank into an easy chair at Grace Pearson Hall and tried to answer KU student's questions on the Middle East crisis in "one big talk."
MOHAMMED 1. KAZEM
Kazem doubts, however, that one talk will end the barrage of American questions that he has tried to answer since his country seized the Suez Canal. Rapid developments in the Middle East bring new questions daily, not only from students and University groups, but from civic organizations as well.
Kazem feels that some insight can be gained into the Egypt-Israel problem by observing the difference between Zinoism and Judism.
"Zionism," he said "is the movement which considers Palestine the homeland for all Jews, and which believes any Jew outside Palestine is there only temporarily."
Judism Is Religious Faith
Judism, on the other hand, is the religious faith whose adherent can be of any nationality. "It is a great fallacy" Kazem sad, "to consider Zionism on a religious basis. Religion never suggested kicking people from their homes—that happened in Palestine when Israel took the Arabs' homes and forced them to live in camps as refugees."
Kazem said that the role of Great Britain and France in the conflict is only an extension of the colonial question.
"Israel was founded and still is maintained by the support and the desire of the colonial powers to serve the interests of colonial powers," he said. "The invasion of Egypt by Israel was just a tool for the colonial powers."
Foreign Aid Question
"The Israeli citizen, is getting foreign aid equal to the per capita income of an Egyptian citizen. If this aid is stopped or reduced, a decline of the standard of living would be inevitable. Five per cent of the population of Israel returned to their original homelands last year. A decline in the standard of living would lead more to leave." Kazem said.
"The Arabs fight only when they are facing an inevitable choice between peace and freedom," he said. "They sacrifice peace only when they find their freedom at stake."
Kazem said that the sense of justice in the American people, when-ever they had the right information, has never disappointed him.
"It is impressive," he said, "to listen and talk with those who are seeking knowledge and truth about the situation."
South Pacific Trip Will Be Discussed

'Arab And Israel Nations Need To Moderate Demands'
"Both the Arab and Israel nations need to moderate their demands." Dr. Walter C. Klein, former representative of the Episcopal Church in Palestine, told the faculty-student reception in his honor Wednesday night at Canterbury House.
"As I see it, the Jews are determined to maintain their state of Israel and, if possible, to make it a self-sustaining state," Dr. Klein said.
"Likewise, the Arabs have refused to accept the Jewish state in any form."

"The disagreement appears to admit no solution unless somebody is willing to make some concessions," Dr. Klein said.
"It is not likely that any concessions will be made unless the
disputants are motivated by something like Christian love," he said
Dr. Klein was in Palestine from 1946 until 1950. In 1947 he was made canon of the Anglican Church in Jerusalem. He is now sub-dean at the Seabury-Western Theological seminary in Evanston, Ill.
