Rabbi comments on Iran situation
The situation there
complex because of the oil crisis Met-
hamed said the U S probably would not
have gotten involved with Iran if it had
not been tor its oil
that we have put at
imports, we still need their en*
MeAhamed said there are two thataa
that can happen One it that
Hse will buy the Iranian oil and.
of that supply, w
another country Wecaa step in and buy
from the other country Tha other thing
that could happen is that Iran slows pro-
and dwt would put a
auction
on all oil supplies and tiurt us
'if we realty want to help oursejtves
and help our govemnwrrt, we could cut
consunaptton four percent and even laore
than that Our target should be four
percent and me d achieve rnore,' saad
kteawaaaaxi.
Then, Melfwrned addrasaed the issue
of the Palestinian Liberation Organize
tton (PLO) He saad 'It was the height
of irony' whan they offered to inaorneni
m releasing our hostages rwrauso they
have shown by their actions dwt they are
dedicated to murder and kidnapping
The reason why Mekwamed said the
PLO stepped in was because they
figured dwt m order to heap dw US,
they would need our consent, aad if me
did that, we would have to recognize
them and that is what the PLO waa after
the whole time
He sasd he fok ft was dsaajTacefut far
the U S to get down so low dwt we
would have to call on the heap of dw
PLO But, then, he saad, others dunk
that dw US should do anything iust
to have the tsostages released
The problem in Iran is not just an
.nternattonal issue, it hits us here at
heme an the U S as seen in dw student
derrtonsPations Melhamed said that a
person tsere who is upset at dto i
in Iran should keep from
his or her hostility to the Iranian twat-
dontssntheU S
'We ought not to generalize Not to
regard aU Iranians as pro-Kraometni
Not dunk of them as a group as our
enemies, but look upon them as mdtvi
duals,'he said
In dealing with thoee who support
Khomeini, he said we should act with
the law If they are here illegally Cwvport
them. If not, wa have to accept them
or limit their political activities because
ao yiiapri here, they have First Amendment rights, too
'If thesr political activities endanger
them and our stuoants. then we have to
Ism* dwt.' he said
