Begin's Battles
To the Editors:
It is not Israel's Menachem Begin [May 18] who is "not farsighted enough" as West Germany's Chancellor Helmut Schmidt said. It is the Western leaders who, in their haste to appease the oil-bearing Saudis, give comfort to the P.L.O.

Once more the Federal Republic of Germany is the scapegoat for Israel's inability to handle its domestic affairs. I, as a German citizen, am not ashamed of Schmidt as our Chancellor. Also, I do not feel responsible for what happened in the Third Reich. I can only try to keep it from happening again.
