Beconstructionist College Dean Offers Backing

PHILADELPHIA (JTA) — Nine

member, and Rabbi Arthur Gil-

signed the statement in support of
Daniel Siegel, which reads, "We

consonant with the Jewish tradi-
tion which regards each human
life as equal in value to all of
creation.
"His willingness to risk severe
legal consequences for his act is in
keeping with the Jewish teaching
that an individual must be willing
to die himself rather than commit
murder, even at the command of

many of these men, as for Dan-

"We support Daniel Siegel and

all those who have chosen to re-

which demands that they abdicate
their inalienable rights of con-
science. We believe that the Jewish
community must stand behind its
young men who exercise the tra-
ditional Jewish right to refuse to
participate in an immoral war,
even when the U.S. government
refuses to recognize that right. In
the choice between immoral obedi-
ence or moral disobedience of the
laws of any state, we must give
our allegiance to the higher law of
moral conduct in the interests of
human life and peace."

CONSTANT RABBINICAL SUPERVISION

Dr. Kissinger makes another im-
portant point in relation to Israel
when he says:
"In the Southeast Asia Treaty
Organization (SEATO) and the
Central Treaty Organization (CEN-
TO), to which we belong in all but
name, there has been no consen-
sus as to the danger (involving
alliances). Pakistan's motive for
obtaining U.S. arms was not secu-
rity against a Communist attack
but protection against India. The
Arab members of CENTO armed
not against the USSR but against
Israel. Lacking a conception of
common interests, the members of
these alliances have never been
able to develop common policies
with respect to issues of war and
peace. Had they been able to do
so, such policies might well have
been stillborn anyway, because

the technical means of cooperation
have been lacking. Most allies
have neither the resources nor the
will to render mutual support. A
state which finds it difficult to
maintain order or coherence of
policy at home does not increase
its strength by combining with
states suffering similar disabili-
ties."
Prof. Kissinger's views are vital
because they may have some im-
plication as to current American
foreign policies.

Israeli Communist Party,
Moscow-Oriented,
Condemned in Cabinet

JERUSALEM (JTA) — Cabinet
ministers have denounced Israel's
Moscow-oriented New Communist
Party whose delegates, attending
the world Communist leaders' con-
ference in the Soviet capital, pro-
posed a resolution condemning
Israel for alleged "imperialism"
and voiced support of the Arab
states. It was not known whether
any legal action was contemplated
against the Communist delegates
who include several members of
the Knesset. Such action would be
unusual inasmuch as Israel per-
mits its citizens free speech at
home and abroad. It was learned
that the Romanian Communist
delegation at the Moscow parley
did not vote for the Israeli Com-
munists' resolution.
Israel's other Communist Party
faction (Maki) meanwhile has dis-
sociated itself from the Moscow
conference on grounds that the
gathering does not represent the
entire Communist movement "as
long as the Soviet Army of occupa-
tion remains in Czechoslovakia.
(The Kremlin parley called on
progressive forces around the
world to support actively Arab
peoples "in their struggle against
Israeli occupation of Arab lands."
It was reported that Romania urg-
ed that the resolution include word-
ing from the UN Mid East resolu-
tion saying that all countries in the
region have a right to exist, but
the proposal was disregarded.)
