To attribute cynical politiCal mo-

Israel is not a member of the

commission, but Moshe I,eshem,
the Israeli observer, was permit-
ted to make a statement. He
charged that "partisan motiva-
tion" had prompted Egypt to raise
the question of the protection of
women and children "fighting for
peace, national liberation and in-
dependence."
He praised Israel's record in the
administration of the occupied
Arab territories and said "Not a
single woman is in jail for an
offense of political nature" and
that women demonstrators were
free to express their dissent in the
presence of foreign visitors.
Leshem said that, in contrast, no
concern was shown for Israeli
women and children who had to
take shelter from Jordan-based
Iraqi artillery firing at Israeli bor-
der settlements. He added that
"The blood-thirsty Baghdad show
trials were condemned by world
opinion."
Mohamed R. al-Jabiri, of Iraq,
demanded that the Israeli rep-
resentative confine his remarks
to the item under discussion. He
said the citizens of Iraq were

of the debate. She said the re-
