1 _UNNI Congressmen Challenge Internationalization Advocates THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS (Clontinued from Page 1) the statement continued to say that "If Israel wishes peace, she can have it. But she cannot also have the territories occupied in June 1967. It is essential that she with- draw from them, and that the United States, but for whose per- missiveness she would be unable to continue to defy the United Na- tions year after year, must do everything possible to see that she does." It invited official organiza- tion of Christians here to speak out on these subjects. Father Ryan noted a "progres- sive decline" in the number of Christians in Jerusalem from 25,- 000 in 1948 to about 10,000 this year." (See commentary, page 2). Rabbi Tanenbaum opened the rebuttal by suggesting that those who left did so not because of Is- raeli oppression but, rather, "for economic and other practical rea- sons." Rauf said "that the practical and legitimate solution to the prob- lem of Jerusalem is to restore it fully to Muslim rule," adding that until the 1967 war, Muslim inhabit tants constituted a vast majority of the city's population. He told the subcommittee that Islam "rep- resents a continuity of the one true religion of God, revealed to a series of prophets," and that Is- lam has "a more legitimate claim to the custody" of the Christian and Jewish holy places "than they may have over Islam's own sacred shrines." Dr. Rauf added that Muslim tolerance gave the Jews "access" to the Wailing Wall, but the Zion- ists capitalized on this tolerance. He referred to the Wall as a "myth" seized upon by the Zion- ists to serve as a rallying point for Jewish. attention. Replying to questions by com- mittee members afterwards, the two Roman Catholic witnesses told Rep. Jonathan B. Bingham (D., N.Y.) that their statement repre- sented only themselves. Dr. Krit- zeck remarked that "the Christian church would be satisfied with a say-so in the administration of the Holy Places." Father Ryan ob- Jewish Leftists Join in Paris Pro-Arab Rally Declare Portugal's Religious Law Has - 'Romantic Value' : LISBON (JTA) — New legisla- tion, formalizing the religious free- oms granted to non-Catholics in ortugal, was passed unanimously ere by the Portuguese Parliament. The new law changes little in .practice, as Portugal granted de `facto -religious freedom to Jews and Protestants as long ago as 1910. Before this date the only recognized religion in Portugal was the Roman Catholic. Parliament _passed the legisla- tion very swiftly. Usually, the Portuguese parliamentary assem- bly discusses at length all legisla- tion introduced. Observers say the swift passage of the legislation means that the legislators con- sidered the law as a minor matter. Dr. Seqera, president of the Lisbon synagogue and general sec- ' retary of the Portuguese Jewish Comunity, told JTA: "We have been enjoying all freedoms a com- munity may be granted for a long time now. Therefore this piece of Jeciislation has romantic, but not practical value. Now the Catholic ',religion has become but one of _:many." The new legislation does not legalize divorce. In 1940 Portugal signed a concordat with the Vati- Can prohibiting divorc'e on its territory. Jews may divorce before a rabbinical court but this divorce, while binding in communal mat- ters, is not recognized by the state. When a man is old enough to do wrong, he should be old enough to do right also. —Oscar Wilde. served that "the question of the Holy Places should be considered in the light of the whole city of Jerusalem." Congressmen questioning the witnesses sought to establish the relative importance of Jerusalem to each of the three faiths. Rabbi Tanenbaum observed that "all three faiths have a deep in- terest in Jerusalem and its en- virons" but he cautioned against "equating one and the same thing to Jews, Christians and Moslems." He said, "Judaism has no Rome, no Geneva, no Mecca, no Medina — only Jerusalem. It is an entire- ly necessary and indispensable part of Judaism as it is not for Christianity and Moslems. That is why there is so much feeling on the part of the Jews all over the world for it." Rep. James G. Fulton (R., Pa.) responded that he had visited the Wailing Wall and saw the "in- tensity of the feeling of the Jews there." Dr. Rauf listed Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem in that order in response to Rep. Bingham's ques- tion as to which were the holiest places of Islam. The Moslem scholar said he was opposed to a divided city, adding that it was "difficult to separate the admin- istration of the Holy City and its Holy Place s; the government should handle all of it." Replying to the same question, Father Ryan listed Jerusalem, Naiareth and 'Bethlehem as Chris- tianity's holy cities. Dr. Kritzeck declared: "Jerusalem would be my unhesitating answer," to which Rep. Bingham retorted: "Not to most Christians, but to Roman Catholics, Rome would be most important." He and several other subcom- mittee members took issue with the testimony presented by the Catholic and Moslem witnesses. At one point Bingham said: "Your statement is good from the Arab point of view but not Israel's." He spoke of his visit to Israel and the West Bank this year where he said he could "attest conditions were remarkably peaceful and stable." He said he saw no guards at Bethlehem and other places and that Arab Christians, with whom he spoke, though they were not in favor of Israel's policies, denied alleged misdeeds by the Israelis. Bingham observed that Israel "would have been glad to stand by the status quo" in Jerusalem in 1967 but Jordan attacked and "there must be consequences." When Father Ryan countered, "Does military conquest establish right?," the New York Congress- man replied, "Over the centuries it has." Rep. Lester L. Wolff (D., N.Y.) challenged Rauf's statement that Moslems suspected Israeli au- thorities of "condoning" the burn- ing of the Ei Aksa mosque in East Jerusalem two years ago. The Congressman noted that a "deranged Australian" had set the fire and that the Arab guards at the mosque were unable to avert the act. In another reference to Rauf's presentation which demanded Moslem rule of Jerusalem, Rep. Seymour Halpern (R., N.Y.) asked "why as a Jew" was he forbidden entry in the early 1960s to the Holy Places under Jordanian con- trol. Rauf replied that he was not at the hearing to "defend a con- temporary state" (Jordan) and that he "personally regretted the ban." He said the Jordanian gov- ernment "did make mistakes" in an "exceptional situation." Hal- pern observed that "no corn- parison can be made between the upkeep of the Holy Places at present" and the "squalor" before 1967 at the sites. Rabbi Tanenbaum said that Is- rael was prepared to turn over the city's Holy Places with complete extra-territorial control to the re- ligious denominations. Rep. Fulton said: "We want to keep the Holy Place's holy but how do you run them?" When the session adjourned, Dr. Rauf approached Rabbi Tanenbaum, shook his hand, and suggested a dialogue on Arab- Jewish religious matters at a fu- ture time. Rabbi Tanenbaum ac- cepted the invitation. Catholic Leader Ryan's Stand Called' His Own Personal View NEW YORK (JTA) — The gen- eral secretary of the United States Catholic Conference said the Rev. Joseph L: Ryan, S. J., was speak- ing for himself when he testified before a House subcommittee in Washington in favor of interna- tionalizing Jerusalem. In a telephone interview from Washington with the JTA, Bishop Joseph Bernardin said: "We have not taken a position (on Jeru- salem). It's being studied now (by a USCC committee)."
