Red scare returns
in U.S. politics
A new kind of red scare is taking place in the United
States and the implications are serious The declared enemy
is Nicaragua and the propaganda target is the American peo
ple. The purpose of this red scare is to raise the level of
paranoia and fear in the American public sufficiently
enough to win support foe President Ronald Reagan's as-yet
undeclared war against the Sandinista government
How is this red scare manifesting itself? Both Reagan
and Secretary of State George Shultz have dramatically
escalated their anti-Sandinista rhetoric in recent months, in
foreign policy speeches, the Saswfenstas are referred to as
"chug pushers." "godless." "cnmL" “evil." and as "ex
porters of revolution" whose ultimate aim is to destabilize
the United States Reagan has warned the American people
that unless the Sandimstas are stopped now. are' might be
fighting ccanmuzusam cm our own borders.

Accusations
Following Professor Trevers
talk (Of* Feb 15). two shrill
attempts appeared to discredit
him. one by Ms Siegie (ODE.
Feb. 21) and the other by
Reverend MacGregor fODE.
Feb. 22).
Ms. Siegie’* accusations of
Professor Trover and his spon
sors as ‘biased’ are hasty. Too
many persons are ready to
brand people like Professor
Trever as ‘anti-Semitic/ I sym
pathize with the victims and
survivors of the Holocaust but
the Europeans were responsible
for this atrocity, not the Arabs
Muslims and Jews have head
together peacefully for 1.000
years, but the Christians and die
Jews have not. Jewish-Arab an
tagonism began with the
Balfour Declaration of 1917 in
which the British promised to
give Jews the Muslim province
of Palestine In 1975 the 30th
Session of the General
.Assembly of the United Nations
declared Zionism a form of
racism, as practised by Israel
since its creation in 1947. The
subsequent invasion of Lebanon
and the behavior of the Israeli
occupiers confirm the accuracy
of this declaration
Reverend MacGregor » unfair
to label Professor Trever a
'lousy theologian/ with whom
he disagrees over dm dating of
the Book of Daniel Many
modern scholars, including
Professor Trever . date it to 165
B C, The issue here is not one of
chronology but that of tact and
tolerance It was verv unchris
tian of Reverend MacGregor to
put down Professor Trever’s
scholarly ability, because one
should have the freedom to
voice one's opinions on any
subject Failure to recognize
this is unscholarlv. and again,
unchristian
