The rally to support Israel in her quest for a just and permanent peace with the Arab nations will be held this evening at 8:00 in the Grand Ballroom of the Sands Hotel. The public is invited and admission is free. As Co-chairman of this peace rally, I would like at this time to note that there are three major purposes for the gathering. 1. First of all, we believe that a just and durable peace in the Middle East can be concluded only thru direct negotiations between Israel and the Arab nations without outside interference or intervention. 2. We seek maximum financial aid for Israel in these days of stress, as its economy is stripped of manpower, and its tourism has come to a total stop. In addition to its own welfare problems, Israel now assumes the burden of a million Arab refugees due to current hostilities. 3. Thirdly, we want to focus attention on the grave communist menace in the Middle East, as the Soviet Union and its satellite neighbors once again, for the third time since Israels founding, are arming the Arab governments and are calling for the Arabs resumption of warfare against Israel. We believe that the move to encourage the Arabs vendetta for the extermination of Israel means only tragedy for all the people of the Middle East. For these three reasons, the citizens of Las Vegas should support and attend this Peace Rally at 8:00 PM in the Grand Ballroom of the Sands Hotel.
