3 UN Resolutions on Refugees Branding Neighborly , Israel Called Contrary to Realities UNITED NATIONS (JTA) —The General Assembly's special political committee on Nov. 20 passed over- whelmingly three resolutions ! blaming Israel for the plight of the Middle East refugees. The first resolution, passed by a vote of 83-5 with 27 ab- stentions (including the Unit- ed States), "strongly de- plores" Israel's practices in the Gaza Strip and calls on Israel to 'desist forthwith" and to "immediately" return the inhabitants "to the camps from which they were re- moved." The second resolution, passed by 83-6 with 26 ab- stentions (including the U.S.), made similar demands in re- gard to all the administered areas and insisted that Is- rael "desist forthwith from all measures affecting the physical, geographic and demographic structure of the occupied territories." The third resolution, which passed by 63-21 votes with 31 abstentions (with the U.S. voting against), called for "the people of Palestine" to be "permitted to enjoy their inalienable rights and to ex- ercise their right to self- determination," which are "indispensable for the estab- lishment of a just and lasting peace in the Middle East." Israel voted against all three drafts. On the first two, it was joined only by Latin American countries: Costa Rica, the Dominican Repub- lic, Guatemala and Nicara- gua on the first draft and those four plus Haiti on the second. The three drafts were co- sponsored by Afghanistan, Guinea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mali, Mauritania, Pakistan, Somalia and Yugoslavia. The committee also passed unanimously, 110-0, with Is- rael abstaining, a U.S.-spon- sored resolution regretting the refugees' situation and urging increased aid by world governments. Finally, the committee passed unanimous- ly two additional resolutions on the refugee situation, both co-sponsored by 21 nations. The first, approved 112-0 with Israel in favor, voiced "grave concern" for the refugees' plight and urged "vigorous) and constant" fund-raising; the second, approved by 110-0 with Israel voting yes, I "strongly" appealed for "gen- erous" contributions to the. UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in I the Near East (UNRWA). Israel Ambassador Jacob Doron excoriated the anti- Israel resolutions for recog- nizing "the often-repeated claim for certain rights for the Palestinian Arabs" while "completely ignoring the rights of the Jewish people generally and in Israel in particular." Doron called them "another link in the continuing Arab political war- fare against Israel."

CRUISEWEAR CHECK LIST The foreign minister told his audience that he would not be attending the UN General Assembly debate on the Middle East because the repetitiveness of UN debates on the Middle East, the "al- most automatic repetition of speeches," detracted from the assembly importance. According to Eban, UN debates have become "mere vituperative haranguing." Eban's remarks were seen as the first official confirma- tion of a trend to play down the importance of the world organization among Israeli government officials. Observ- ers said the foreign minis- ter's comments seemed to raise the unofficial lack of respect felt here for the UN to the level of official policy. ❑ Casual Slacks ❑ Knit Sport Coats ❑ Swimwear O Knit Slacks ❑ Cabana Sets ❑ Walk Shorts ❑ Short Sleeve ❑ Short Sleeve Sport Shirts Knit Shirts 0 ❑ Latest In 'Formal Wear 0 0 HA MIKA GREETINGS TONY'S SHOE REPAIR IN THE NEW ADDITION AT LINCOLN CENTER Greenfloid TEL-TWELVE MALL 355-2467 art 1 0 'A Mlle Rood Use your Shifirsanit Charge/Most major arm* orris hatred leave a country."
