Zionism Defined for the World: Tekoah's Reply to Hatred at t N Espoused by Arabian Spokesman Major Funds Join to Combine Effort Vile language, reconstruction of the filthiest lies ever exposed on a public plat- form, marked the ene-hour speech at the UN Security Council on Oct. 21. There wasn't a single protest from any member of the UN, including the Western power. Yosef Tekoah NEW YORK (JTA) — In alone, speaking as Israel's representative, condemned the distortion of fact and history. response to the current Tekoah bore up to the ordeal bravely and responded to the vilification of Zionism with emergency in Israel and to the following definition of the Jewish libertarian cause: meet local health, educa- tional and social needs, New York's two major Jewish philanthropic organizations are undertaking their first joint fund-raising effort. A $280,000,000 drive in New York City, Long Island and Westchester was announced at a news conference Thurs- day at the United Jewish Apneas headquarters. Mayor John V. Lindsay joined Laurence A. Tisch, president of the UJA of Greater New York, and Law- rence B. Buttenwieser, presi- dent of the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies as they outlined plans for a coor- dinated campaign to raise $250,000,000 for the UJA- Israel Emergency Fund plus $30,000,000 to sustain Feder- ation-financed services to 1,500,000 New Yorkers. The campaign will he known as the "Israel Emerg- ency Fund and Coordinated Campaigns"of the two agencies. Tisch said the $250,000,000 was more than three times as much as the largest amount ever raised by the New York UJA. Buttenwieser said that the federation was suspending its fund-raising for building and capital pur- poses for the duration of the emergency. They said that coordination of the two campaigns was an important step in mobilizing philanthropic resources of the Jewish community. Party Nets Funds The Florence Hochberg Social Club, comprised of 15 women who aid retarded children, recently raised $500 for the Israel Emergency Fund at a games party. The women also sent $200 to a children's school in Israel. He (the representative of Saudi Arabia) insulted heads of states, including perma- nent members of the Security Council. He slandered nations. He abused civilizations and religions. He extolled Hitler and anti- Semitism. Yet no one except me tried to call him to order. His falsifications and calumnies do not deserve any response. I should, however, like to refer to one point in his speech; his attack against Zion- ism — because he is not the only one who resorts to these perfidious views and ex- pressions. Zionism is the love of Zion. Zionism is the Jewish people's liberation movement, the quest for freedom, for equality with other nations. Yet in an organization in which liberation movements are hailed and supported, the Jewish people's struggle to restore its independence and sovereignty is maligned and slandered in an endless spate of malice and venom. In his drive to annihilate the Jewish people, Hitler began by distorting the image of the Jew, by rewriting Jewish history, by fabricating some of the most odious historic and racial theories. The Arab governments, in their campaign to complete Hitler's crimes against the Jewish people and de- stroy the Jewish state, have adopted the same method of falsifying Jewish history, and in particular the meaning of the Zion- ist movement and the significance of its ideals. What is Zionism? When the Jews, exiled from their land in the 7th Century before the Christian era, sat by rivers of Babylon and wept, but also prayed and sought ways to go home, that was already Zionism. When in a mass revolt against their exile they returned and rebuilt the Temple and re-established their state, that was Zionism. When they were the last people in the entire Mediterranean basin to resist the forces of the Roman Empire and to struggle for independency, that was Zionism. When for centuries after the Roman con- quest they refused to surrender and rebelled again and again against the invaders, that was Zionism. When, uprooted from their land by the conquerors and dispersed by them all over the world, they continued to dream and to strive to return to Israel, that was Zionism. When, during the long succession of for- eign invaders, they tried repeatedly to re- gain sovereignty at least in part of their homeland, that was Zionism. When they volunteered from Palestine and from all over the world to establish Jewish armies that fought on the side of the Allies in the First World War and helped to end Ottoman subjugation, that was Zion- ism. When they formed the Jewish Brigade in the Second World War to fight Hitler, while Arab leaders supported him, that was Zionism. When Jews went to gas chambers with the name of Jerusalem on their lips, that was Zionism. When, in the forests of Russia and the Ukraine and other parts of East Europe, Jewish partisans battled the Germans and song of the land where palms are growing, that was Zionism. When Jews fought British colonialism while the Arabs of Palestine and the neigh- boring Arab states were being helped by it, that was Zionism. Zionism is one of the world's oldest anti- imperialist movements. It aims at securing for the Jewish people the rights possessed by other nations. It harbors malice toward none. It seeks co-operation and under Tid- ing with the Arab peoples and wit sir national movements. Zionism is as sacred to the Jewish peo- ple as the national liberation movements are to the nations of Africa and Asia. Even if the Arab states are locked today in con- flict with the Jewish national liberation movement, they must not stoop in their at- titude toward it to the fanaticism and bar- barism of the Nazis. If there is to be hope for peace in the Middle East, there must be between Israel and the Arab states mutual respect for each other's sacred national val- ues—not distortion and abuse. Zionism was not born in the Jewish ghet- toes of Europe, but on the battlefield against imperialism in ancient Israel. It is not an out-moded nationalistic revival but an un- paralleled epic of centuries of resistance to force and bondage. Those who attack it attack the fundamental principles and pro- visions of the Uniteti•Nations Charter.
