Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - August 10, 1970, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it pleasant news vol. 92, no. I �7mt. Pleasant Iowa monday evening Augustio 1970 Price to cents these Days by John Chamberlain the israelis would use the atom bomb this column made a couple of guesses the other Day or maybe deductions would be a better word for it. Briefly it surmised that by pts a president Nasser wants to Cool it in the Middle East because Ca he has suddenly realized that the israelis have the atom bomb and have let it be known that if they Are pushed to an extremity they will use it and b he fears that the discovery of big Oil sources in the North sea will soon make Wes Ern Europe Independent of Arab Oil How shrewd the guesses Are Only time will Tell. Nobody will give official confirm Aton to the bit about Israel having a nuclear capacity. But now comes Hanson Baldwin former military editor of the new York times with a Book a strategy for tomorrow a which will be published by Harper and Row on August 19. I went to work with Baldwin for the times some forty four years ago on practically the same Day and i have never known him to make an unconsidered or untrue statement. The times should never have retired him its military reporting has trailed off badly since he left. Hanson Baldwin is still hard at work cultivating his own sources. Knowing his character id Trust his Book As much As any times Story he Ever wrote. What he says about Israel and the bomb is this a there should be no doubt about it the Middle East is a powder Keg and the . Interests in the area Are major. Israel is already the worlds sixth atomic Power she has nuclear weapons or the capability of assembling them quickly. She has rockets of sufficient Range to reach from her Borders to the major Arab capitals. And her Peoples and her government possess the ruthlessness and the determination to use a in extremist any and All Means to too what Nasser must realize is that the israelis Many of whom had relatives who perished in the Gas Chambers of hitlers Germany Are not going to be deprived of the country which they have conjured out of the desert. It is a Sanctuary and a Refuge which they did not have in the Days of the death Camps of Dachau and Buchenwald. Possession of their own nation has changed their character instead of bowing meekly to the buffets of Fate which is the lot of All stateless people they have developed a formidable ability to fight Back. Mos he Dayan the hero of the six Day War is their Symbol and image. If extinction threatens As it threatened in hitlers Day they will assuredly use whatever nuclear capacity they posses to pull their enemies Down with them. Moshe Dayan May not have Samson a big head of hair which supposedly gave great strength but he is quite capable of pulling the whole Middle East edifice Down if it should Ever come to that. Too the main trouble in the Middle East is that the Palestine Arab guerrillas Are a technologically illiterate Breed and the iraqis and the syrians Are not much better. They May not appreciate what nuclear weapons might do. The guerrillas take their thinking from Mao tse Tung whose followers in Vietnam and Cambodia Are used to dealing with the gentlemanly americans who would never a no never a use nuclear weaponry again for fear of a world obviously Mao tse Tung and his Southwest asian disciples have cased the United states for what it is a latter Day Rome that has lost any stomach for exercising the world Power thrust upon it after world War ii. We Are paralysed by a a liberals who Are dominated by a death wish. But the israelis having no death wish Are paradoxically willing to die to protect their National heritage. They Are not going Unrot Stingly to a passive Buchenwald destiny twice. Nasser has presumably gotten the idea. Whether the guerrillas can be brought Over is another Story.
