Caradon Echoes Israel's Position:
All Is Negotiable After Recognition
UNITED NATIONS (JTA) —
Lord Caradon, the British ambas-
sador to the UN, told the UN cor-
respondents Association at a lunch
Tuesday that while "there must be
withdrawal" by Israel from the oc-
cupied territories, there can be no
Middle East agreement without
the Arabs' "acceptance of the
state of Israel."
Stating "secure and recognized
boundaries still have to be stipu-
lated in an agreement," Lord Ca-
radon declared that withdrawal
was only part of the UN cease-
fire resolution, not an a priori re-
quirement for a solution. Israeli
Foreign Minister Abba Eban made
that very point in the Knesset 3Ion-
day.
Lord Caradon said that "the
removal or destruction of the
state of Israel" was not an "ac-
ceptible solution." But he indi.
cated that any peace settlement
"must include the Palestine
Arabs," even though they are
not, as he put it, an "entity."
The British ambassador, who
reluctantly voted for Zambia's an-
ti-Israel resolution in the UN on
the grounds of opposition to all
violence, contended that Jerusa-
lem was "the heart of the mat
ter." He said it would be a "disas-
ter" if one country owned it "to
the exclusion of others," adding
"but certainly it must not be di-
vided, but be a symbol of unity."
Lord Caradon echoed the Isra-
eli position that in the interest of
peace, "everything is negotiable"
and indicated he considered Jeru-
salem to be part of that package.
The ambassador expressed hope

Pig: Symbolizing
Undesirable Food
By SAMUEL FOX
(Copyright 1970 JTA Inc.)
In the Bible the pig was listed
among cthose animals which were
forbidden to the Israelites as food.
In the period of the Maccabees
there was an attempt to substitute
a pig for a lamb in the sacrifice
of the Temple. In response to this
the Rabbis issued a decree forbid-
ding the raising of pigs in the land
of Israel (Sotah 49). In the course
of many episodes of forced conver-
sion in European history Jews
were forced to eat pigs as a sym-
bol of their acceptance of another
faith. As a reaction to this there
later came a rabbinic decree for-
bidding Jews to raise pigs alto-
gether. Since the pig was a very
common domesticated a n i ma 1
eaten by so many people, and yet
forbidden by Jewish dietary laws
for Jewish consumption, it is not
hard to see why the pig might have
been the symbol of difference be-
tween a Jew who abides by his
faith and one who abrogated it.
Certainly, many instances of forced
conversions, etc., involving eating
a pig, left a deep impression on
the Jewish community. It is most
interesting to note that the Rabbis,
in one instance, declared that when
the Messiah will come the meat of
the pig will become Kosher.
LONDON (JTA) — Louis Stern,
chairman of the overseas services
committee of the Council of Jewish
Federations and Welfare Funds,
told the British Board of Deputies
that British and American Jews
could solve some of their mutual
problems by working together.
Stern headed _a CJFWF delega-
tion which was tendered a recep-
tion by the deputies as part of its
visit to this city.
The delegation's ndxt stop in its
European tour was Brussels.
Board of Deputies Vice President
Victor Mishcon welcomed the dele-
gation and called its discussions
with British colleagues "extremely
useful." He lauded Sir Barnett Jan-
ner, a former board president, who
is ending his parliamentary career.
He said Sir Barnett had guarded
Jewish interests "with dignity and
distinction."

Again Inquires
'Who Is a Jew?'
NEW YORK—An Israeli naval
officer's successful bid to have his
children registered as "Jewish"
has reopened the worldwide ques-
tion of "Who is a Jew?" Look
magazine reviewed the Shalit case
and examined the problem.
"For many centuries," observes
an article in Look Magazine's cur-
rent issue, "non-Jews devoted con-
siderable and unloving effort to
determine who is a Jew. The gen-
tiles, however confused in their
policies, must have assumed that
the (Jews) always had their own
neat answer . . ."
Lieut. Cmdr. Benjamin Shalit, a
Jew whose Scottish-born wife Anne
is not, requested that their chil-
dren Galia, three, and Oren, six,
be officially registered as Jews
under the heading leum or "people-
hood." Anne refused to convert,
both parents declaring their agnos-
ticism.
Judaic law defines a Jewish
child as one with a Jewish mother.
When Israel's minister of the
interior denied Shalit's request, he
appeared as his own lawyer before
the Supreme Court and won a five-
to-four decision allowing Jewish
registration for Oren and Galia.
A law was then passed by the
Knesset allowing anyone with at
least one Jewish grandparent to
emigrate to Israel and receive
citizenship under the Law of Re-
turn. So long as the newcomer is
not a member of some other reli-
gion, he is declared "Jewish" if
his mother was Jewish — even if
she became so by non-Orthodox
conversion.
Commented Ben Shalit in Look:
"There are Japanese who believe
in Judaism, but they are not of
Jewish peoplebood .. . Religion is
merely a matter of belief, while
belonging to a national group is a
commitment with duties and re-
sponsibilities."
Chief Rabbi Issar Unterman is
quoted in the magazine in support
of the Halakha, the traditional code
of laws that makes conversion a
difficult and time-consuming pro-
cedure. But David Ben-Gurion gave
comfort to the liberals when he
told a convention of U.S. Reform
rabbis recently:
"A Jew is a Jew and finished."
