October 18, 1974 no "7111111' AN Terror in Control of World Society Terror has gained a foothold in the world organization whose original purpose was the assurance of peace for mankind. Now the worst • stumbling block to international co- operation has been introduced by giving in- ternational status to an organization that has applauded murder. Apparently the United Nations has for- gotten Munich where participants in the world Olympics were brutally massacred. It was an act of the Palestine Liberation Orga- nization which now has a place of honor in the society of nations. That is how human rights are abused and honor besmirched. It was the PLO that claimed credit for hijackings that caused many tragedies and the deaths of many innocent people. It was the PLO and its leader who now receive a platform at the UN who boasted that they had murdered children in Israel's Ma'alot community. These are the people who are honored by society that calls • itself civi- lized. , The entire world can sit in mourning over what has occurred in the East River head- quarters of the world organization. 'Civilization has been stabbed and 105 nations are jubi- lantly condoning and encouraging terrorism. .Only four nations have opposed the horri- ble act, and the United States acted as if it were a matter of technicalities rather than justice and humanism. Israel and Jewry are grateful to Bolivia and the Dominican Re- public. But the abstainers, lacking courage to act, have a stain on their records for failure to speak out against the terrorists. 'October 14, 1974, will go down on record as a day of shame at- the UN. - Eban's Visit: Honoring Akiva Day School Abba Eban comes here in a new role. The diplomat who has gained world fame is now in this country as visiting professor at Colum- bia University whose students have much to gain from his extensive and authoritative knowledge of international affairs and the most intimate aspects of the social and politi- cal sciences. Mr. Eban has much to offer also as an historian. His several books on Israel gained best-seller status because his written word approaches the eloquence of his oratory. These are the qualities of a genius in the field of diplomacy that have made him one of the most sought after public speakers. Mr. Eban's American assignment as a Columbia visiting 'professor provides an op- portunity for his many admirers to continue long-time friendships with the former Israel foreign minister who has held many other important posts, including - the Israel ambas- sadorship to the United States and the presi- dency of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel. There was genuine regret that the eminent statesman should have been omitted from membership in Yizhak Rabin's Israel government cabinet. But an Eban role is never terminated and he is certain to con- tribute immensely to his country and to world Jewry's cultural aspirations. Beth Midrash plus Beth Tefila Jewry's traditional pride is that the house of prayer is as often a house of study as it is one for reciting supplications. Often the Beth Midrash supersedes the Beth Tefila — the research center gains supremacy over the prayer room. The numerous adult education programs that are again under the sponsor- ship of many congregations provide a measure of endorsement for this view. It took a mere weekend after the Holy- Days to give added emphasis to this idea. The packed synagogues emptied and the Sabbath services had the usual minimal attendance. Butzel Award Winner Selection of Alan E. Schwartz as the 1974 recipient of the Fred M. Butzel Award em- phasizes the appreciation the community has for the services rendered by its chosen lead- ers. This year's award winner has attained a notable record for services to the Federation, to the Allied Jewish Campaign and to the Community Chest of the United Foundation in which Detroit Jewry shares responsibilities for many social services. Deserved recognition for his many devoted services to the community marks the addition of Mr. Schwartz's name to the - roster of emi- nent men and women now listed in the honors annually accorded by the Federation. The weekday services already are reduced to a minimum. The hopes of synagogues are that adult education courses will stimulate a return to the Beth Tefila that will serve as the Beth Midrash, with study and research resuming importance in Jewish life. Adult education courses are important as cultural media for the elders. They are vital if the parent will utilize them for re-enthusing the home, as strength-bearing means of inspir- ing the entire family, as an assurance -VW the bond between the kehilla, the community, and its affiliated citizens will be unbreakable. . Some years back it was necessary to ad- monish Jewish groups, including the congre- gational, not to encourage the mocking and self-degrading forms that some programs had assumed. Still deplorable is the emphasis on bingo games. The yielding to the cheap thea- tricals that degraded Jewish dignity has been abandoned. Now it is vital that adult educa- tion should be geared to the highest levels of Jewish learning. With few exceptions, such policies are now pursued diligently by our synagogues. They give hope that what is aimed for through adult education will lead to inspirational results on the family basis. That's how learning and re- search become most significant in the spir- itual-cultural dedications of Jewish communi- ties. 2 1. 1111 11111111111111111111 11111 111111111111111 Iliimmuni1114 df Kissinger's 'Foreign Policies' Analyzes His Israel Approach Dr. Henry A. Kissinger was assistant to 'President Nixon on national security affairs when he compiled his speeches, his views of foreign policies and his statements at con- gressional hearings on matters relat- ing to Vietnam, the Soviet Union, NATO, SALT and other related topics and included them in his "American Foreign 'Policy" volume. Other issues emerged, especially those relating to Israel, the Arab states and the Middle East, upon his elevation to the high role as the head of the State. Department. With the addition of the data that has accumulated in the most recent months, Secretary of State Kissinger's expanded edition of "American For- eign Policy" has just been issued by Dr. Kissinger W. W. Norton & Co. and its value to the reader' is best explained in this prefatory note by the author: "The publication of this voluine in early 1969 brought together three essays I had written before I came to Washington as assistant to the President for national security affairs. Toward the end of 1973, after my appointment as secre- tary of state, the publisher sagested that it might be useful to readers to gather into this volume some of my recent public statements as a government official. I welcomed this suggge.stion and have selected the items included herein.. They cover a range- of specific current problems in United States foreign policy, such as our relations with our allies and our adversaries, arms control, the Mitalle East, and issues facing the United Nations. Most importantly, however, they all bear on the fundamental problem in our foreign policy, that is, to restore the national consensus on our broader purposes in the world." Major in the expanded volume is the address Dr. Kissinger delivered Dec. 21, 1973, on the Middle East question at the Geneva Peace Con- ference. It was in that speech that he quoted the "im ein ani_li" — the famous statement in Ethics of the Fathers, when he said: "The problems of the Middle East today have such a character. There is justice on all sides, but there is a greater justice still finding a truth which merges all aspirations in the realization of a common humanity. It was a Jewish sage who, speaking for all mankind, expressed this problem welt: 'If I am not for myself, who is for me, but if / am for myself alone, who am l'." In the same context he then resorted to an Arab proverb when said: "There is an Arab saying, '1W Fat Mat,' which means that the past is dead. Let us resolve here today that we will overcame the legacy of hatred and suffer- ing. Let us overcome old-Myths with new hope. Let us make the Middle East worthy of the messages of hope and reconciliation that have been carried. for- ward from its stark soil by three great religions. Among the points he emphasized was the reference to Jerusa and the Palestinians. He stated: "A peace agreement must include these elements among others: withdrawals, recognized frontiers, security arrangements such as demilitarized zones, guaran- tees, a settlement Of the legitimate interests of the Palestinians, and a recogni- tion that Jerusalem contains places considered holy by three great religions." Is it good for Israel? The emphasis in the Kissinger programs is that they are American_policies. His emphasis therefore that "we in the American delegation are here to spare no effort in in the quest of a lasting peace in the Middle East, a task which is as worthy as it may be agonizing." While Israel and world Jewry await anxiously for .proof that the Kissinger program will lead to peace, his declarations in his expanded "American Foreign Policy" temporarily serve as a guide to his thinking.
