Russia, Israel and the UN
BY SAUL CARSON
Poland, despite that country's
recent relative independence
from complete Moscow domina-
tion.
In any analysis of Israel's
position here, it is important to
bear the Soviet Union's policy
in mind. Otherwise, one might
forget that the threat of Soviet
domination of the Middle East
is only too real.
was Mohammed El Kuni,
Egypt's Ambassador to Moscow.
The Soviet bloc here, now, is
nine strong. All nine sing the
song of anti-Israel provocation
to the tune composed in Mos-
cow. Yugoslavia, independent
of Moscow in many affairs,
takes the Soviet line here on
m 0 s t affairs, especially on
Israel; the same is true of

In all the hullabaloo about
Israel at the United Nations,
most of the press (even the
Jewish portion of the press) is
overlooking one factor of ex-
treme importance: Russia.
The Soviet Union, as viewed
from the United Nations, is still
bent on Israel's destruction. It
is evident from the speeches by
representatives of the Soviet
bloc, and samples from the Rus-
sian press—distributed here by
the USSR delegation.
"News," an English-language
"Soviet Review of World
Events," published in Moscow,
shows a photograph of a large
crowd of men and women
standing in barn-like structure,
being addressed by a young
man in front - of a microphone,
with t h e 41owing caption
under the picture;
"The British-French Israeli
armed aggression in Egypt
evoked a wave of protest meet-
ings and demonstrations
throughout the Soviet Union.
The people demanded that the
aggressors be curbed, the war
stopped, and peace and tran-
quility restored in Egypt. The
picture above shows a protest •
meeting at the Vladimir Ilyich
Works in Moscow. The speaker
is fitter Pruzhinin."
Anyone who knows anything
about the Soviet Union knows
how such "protest meetings"
are organize_ d—and how such
reports find their way into the
official press. Each step is de-
signed to intimidate Israel and
to encourage Arab aggression
against Israel with a hint that
the plan for sending "volun-
teers" is still very much alive.
One day, "Pravda," the offi-
cial organ of the Communist
Party ' in the USSR, reports
"Muscovites Meet E'g yptian
Peace Champions," a pair of
Egyptian writers hailed as "re-
presentatives of the Egyptian
Peace Movement." Next day,
"Pravda" tells about an "Even-
ing Devoted to Soviet-Egyptian
Cultural Relations"—at which
