Immigration, democracy and
the attitude towards the Soviet
Union are the common bonds
between Israel and the United
States, an author and lecturer on
the modern Middle East said
Thursday night.
Dr. Raphael Danziger said
that like the United States, Israel
takes in people from all over the
world who apply for immigra
tion and citizenship.
But since 1948, the year fol
lowing the Holocaust, Israel has
had the Law of Return that
allows all Jews the automatic
right of Israeli citizenship.
“Although Israel doesn’t
have the appeal that the United
States does, immigration of all
people is welcome,” Danziger
said.
The United States is the lead
er of democracy in the free
world, Danziger said. “To main
tain a special relation with them
(the United States), another
country must have a demo
cracy.”

Israel is the only true demo
cracy in the Middle East, he said.
It has a multi-party system, and
the people vote to change the
government.
“The country tries to serve
the American interest. It will not
be overthrown by a coup d’etat,
and there won’t be a communist
overthrow,” he said.
“Because of these things the
special relation between the two
countries will endure,” he said.
Danziger also said the Israeli
attitude towards the Soviet Un
ion is much the same as the Un
ited States’ attitude.
“The U.S. sees the U.S.S.R.,
and rightfully so, as the princi
ple threat to the free world,”
Danziger said. “It permeates the
defense policy, no matter who
the president is or what the
administration.
“Israel is against Soviet en
croachment in the Middle East,
and this position has not
changed since 1950.
“Not only is Israel against the
Soviets, but it has a very credible
military power. It is in a position
to do something about it,” Dan
ziger said.
The Soviets are being
laughed at, Danziger said. They
supply arms to the Middle East
ern countries, but they don’t get
the respect that the United
States does.
“For instance, you don’t see
the Arabs going to the U.S.S.R.
for the things they want,” he
said. “Washington has become a
mecca for the Arabs.”
Danziger was sponsored by
the Political Science Society and
the Israel Club as part of Israel
Awareness Week.

1STIN — Gov. Mark White
f he Texas legislature has
of time to work out a state
|<;t that includes a 24 per-
■ pay hike for school
iers, and that it’s too early to
thinking about special ses-
ms.
‘1 think we’re in a position to
there will be significant in-
s in teacher salaries,” the
nor told reporters
pclnesday. “Hopefully we can
latera special session.”
• ntnt B s pite revenue estimates
Stontinue to decline, White
{ rewill not back down from
tmpaign promise to up-
teacher’s salaries. And he
24 percent is the bottom
hat’s a good place to start,”
id. “I wouldn’t want to re-
from that number.”
f hite has been quoted as
|g he would not hesitate to
fa special session if lawmak
ers fail to accept his recommen
dation on teacher raises. But he
said there is enough time to
work out a budget plan before
the Legislature adjourns on May
30.
“Given the fact that we had 50
freshmen members of the
House who may have caused
slowness at the start,” said
White. “But at the same time, I
think they are learning very
quickly. I think they’ll make the
right choice before the session is
over.”
Some lawmakers have said it
will be impossible to grant a pay
hike to teachers of more than
about 10 to 13 percent unless
new taxes are levied. The $30
billion-plus budget proposed by
White has a $1 billion deficit be
cause of revised revenue fore
casts.
But White said his three
pronged revenue-raised plan,
centered around an $800 mil
lion “sin tax” package, is still vi
able.
“I’d like to avoid any tax,” he
said. “We ought to tax luxuries
and ought not to be taxing
necessities.”
White declined to rule out
support of an additional 1 per
cent increase in the state oil and
gas severance tax, despite claims
it would hurt an already econo
mically depressed oil industry.
