Addressing a memorial service for the late Moshe Sharett, former Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Israel, A.L. Pincus, chairman of the Jewish Agency Executive, said last night that Israel should heed Mr. Sharett’s advice to appeal to youth and “concentrate first and foremost on the younger generation.”
Mr. Pincus said that “hundreds of thousands of the young generation saw the Arab-Israel war as their war as well as Israel’s.” He warned however, that “in many cases, this enthusiasm, if we do not know how to properly utilize it, may quickly evaporate.” It was necessary, he declared, “that we all join together in a huge educational and organizational process that will harness among the youth of the Diaspora the enthusiasms engendered by the miraculous victory of the six-day war.”
