THE MIDEAST Many peace efforts have been made among Jews and Arabs, but none have ended the feuding. Over the past five years the Mideast has been in the news with reports such as the oc- cupation of the West Bank, Israel ' s desire to be recognized as a state by Arabs, Palestinians want of a separate state — while both rejected each other ' s dream. The ten-year civil war within Lebanon that has left over 100,000 dead has consistently made headlines. Moslems battling Christians and other Moslems; Christians feuding with Christians; Shiite Moslems attack- ing Palestinian refugee camps and so on. Also, the Iran-Iraq war is still going on after six years leaving one million dead. Both sides hit oil targets hard. Both being dependent on (declin- ing) oil revenues that certainly is a weak spot. Although Iraq is better equipped militarily, the Iranians under the Ayatollah Khomeini have the will to keep fighting as long as their oil reserves are plentiful. OIL CRISIS? Further inflaming the Mideast are the declin- ing oil prices. However, the oil plunge of the eighties has left many smiling at the gas pump. Recent prices are as low as the pre-oil crisis days of 1973. OPEC antics have caused oil consum- ing nations to seek alternative sources and have thus shaken up the former balance of exchange. ISRAELI RAID Israeli troops swarmed into Lebanon on the morning of June 6, 1982, in a bold move that destroyed the strength of the PLO in Beirut. While the Arab world reacted with angry denunciations, Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin proclaimed the invasion a necessary retaliation against a terrorist group that endangered the lives of Israeli citizens.
