Goldmann Pessimistic About Israel's Future;
Proposes Neutralization of State Under Fire
NEW YORK (JTA)—In an art-
icle in the April issue of Foreign
Affairs Quarterly, Dr. Nahum
Goldmann has proposed a radical
alteration of Israel's position in the
world as a means of ensuring its
survival and fulfilling its unique
destiny in Jewish history. The
veteran Zionist leader urged 4.11c
creation of "a neutralized Israel,
outside the sphere of power poli-
tics" whose boundaries and secur-
ity would be permanently guaran-
teed by the world community of
nations—including even the Arab
states. Dr. Goldmann, president of
the World Jewish Congress and
former president of the World Zion-
ist Organization, wrote that his
proposed solution "at first glance
may seem utopian." But, he said,
his experience led him to the con-
clusion that Israel cannot continue
to exist in a perpetual state of war
with its neighbors and as an object
of Big Power confrontation without
nullifying the very ideals and pur-
poses behind its creation, alienat-
ing the most idealistic elements of
Jewry, losing the sympathy of
progressive forces all over the
world and eventually succumbing
to the numerical superiority of its
enemies.
Dr. Goldmann wrote, "It is the
very uniqueness of the Jewish
problem and of the Zionist idea as
its solution which, in the last an-
, alysis, make me doubt whether the
creation and existence of a Jewish
state no different in structure and
character from any other state can
be the real implementation of
Zionism." Continuing, he stated,
"More and more . . . I am coming
to the conclusion that Israel cannot
be one of the more than a hundred
so-called sovereign national states
they exist today and that, instead
of relying primarily and exclusive-
ly on its military and political
strength, it should be merely ac-
cepted but guaranteed de jure and
de facto, by all peoples of the
world including the Arabs, and put
under the permanent protection ef
all mankind."
He said that the two problems
that in the long run will decide
the destiny of Israel are its rela-
tions with the Arab world and
its relations with diaspora Jewry.
"The Arab world regards Israel
as a foreign element in its midst
and refuses to accept its existence.
This feeling is groWing with every
new Israeli victory, so as to com-
pensate for the Arab sentiment of
humiliation and inferiority. . .
The hope of some Israeli leaders
that time is on their side and that
the Arabs, recognizing Israel's
military capability, will be more
ready to accept the fait accomplis
of its existence, seems to me based
on very tenuous assumptions," Dr.
Goldmann wrote. Regarding world
Jewry. Dr. Goldmann maintained
that there was not likely of be mas-
sive immigration to Israel from the
free countries of the West and he
doubted that a major part of Rus-
sian Jewry would go to Israel even
if the Soviets lifted the impedi-
ments to emigration. If Israel is to
fulfill its historical task of securing
Jewish survival all over the world,
it must "become the center of at-
traction, the greatest challenge for
the best, most idealistic elements
of the young generation which is
in great danger of largely being
lost to the Jewish people within a
few decades," he said. "An Israel
at war, in permanent mobilization,
cannot become this center .. ."
Another "negative consequence
of this permanent state of war
is that in many parts of the
world it is the reactionary, na-
tionalistic groups which have be-
come the sponsors and admirers
of Israel, whereas large parts of
the progressive world have be-
come disappointed and antagon-
istic to Israel," Dr. Goldman
said.

He observed that the proposed
neutralization of Israel would have
important consequences for the
character and activities of the
State. "Neutralization may even
mean that a permanent, symbolic
international force may have to be
stationed in the state of Israel, so ki
that any attack on it would imply 1
an attack on all the states guaran-
teeing Israel's existence and neu-
trality and participation in this
international force." Dr. Goldmann
envisioned a neutral Israel as a
nation that could devote the full
force of its creative talents and

mann suggested that such neu-
tralization could be the basis for ;
