The direct cause for this is the establishment of the state of Israel. The Russian Empire, which was the foremost standard-bearer of anti- Semitism before Hitler, is even today, despite the So- cialist revolution for the brotherhood of nations, one of the most active forces in strengthening anti-Semi- tism at the present time. Present-day anti-Semi- tism finds expression in an attack on the anomaly of Jewish existence and the so-called "terrible out- come" of such anomaly — the ingathering and return of the Jews to their histori- cal homeland after 1,900 years of exile. The Arab propagandists have found the opportune TIL 9 p.m. TEL AVIV — In the 30-hour blaze that ravaged the building of the Israeli daily newspaper Haaretz, large amounts of emergency medical equipment belong- ing to Magen David Adorn (MDA) Israel's Emergency Medical, Health and Blood Services, were destroyed. The fire at the Kyriat Ma- lacha business complex housing MDA's chief emer- gency supply storerooms is reported to be the biggest in the city's history and be- lieved to be a case of "mali- cious arson" by underworld figures against Haaretz.

The national move- ments in the world have al- most completed the first stage of their victory. Colo- nialism or imperialism is a thing of the past — except for the two Communist Empires — the Russian and the Chinese. All the na- tiona• s 'groups, popular or even tribal, have gained primary or basic political indep*islence. But' now begins a new stage in the awakening of various groups whom the large and strong national movements swallowed in the process of implementing their aspirations. This swallowing up, which is tantamount to en- forced assimilation, oc- curred in many places in the world, so that the Arab propagandists experience no difficulty in finding an at- tentive ear to their claims of "Jewish-Zionist racism." Thus the Arab-Communist success at the UN should not be regarded as the out- come of oil pressure and petro-dollar influence. A new anti-Semitic tag is being attached to the Jewish people, namely, that through their return to their homeland after 1,900 years of exile and the re-establishment of their HUC-JIR Faculty Issue UN Protest state, they are infringing on the vital interests of other national movements. Zionism, according to Arab claims, is an expan- sionist movement; a move- ment seeking to conquer more and more territory. What was defined in old- type anti-Semitism as the insatiable Jewish greed for gain has now been trans- formed into the aspiration for territorial expansion. The Arab propagandists distort the fact that the Zionists agreed to the Parti- tion Plan of 1947, which Mended to the benefit of the Arabs and was basically against Jewish interests, just as they vehemently suppress the reason why Israel demands secure bor- ders in face of the declared Arab intentions to destroy Israel. As for the new type public that absorbs anti-Semitism, it shoud be pointed out that the anti-Semitic Arab prop- aganda is particularly active in the countries of Asia and Africa where the Bible is almost unknown — and where the old-type anti- Semitism had little if any hold. Now since the Arabs have become the most active disseminators of the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion," a vile fabrication by the Czarist Regime against the Jewish people things have changed. A link has been created between Arab anti-Semi- tism and the heritage of Russian anti-Semitism. The present Arab-Com- munist alliance with Rus- sia is anchored on the So- viet interests in the Arab Middle East and, espe- cially in the Persian Gulf as well as in Moscow's at- titude to the Jews of Rus- sia who are held in an iron vice. To what extent Comm ism is saturated with a Semitism may be learne from the stubborn anti- Semitic attitude of Presi- dent Tito, despite his oppos- ition to Moscow. The Com- munists in the world strengthen the modern nuances of Arab anti-Semi- tism, which nowadays finds its chief expression in the efforts to hurt the state of Israel.

Professors of Reform Ju- daism's institution of higher learning issued the state- ment saying: "Zionisni, in its broadest sense, is the affirmation that the state of Israel has a right to exist and prosper. It asserts that Israel's popula- tion deseri7es the support of every fair-minded person against those who would destroy it, thereby exposing the Jewish people to the prospect of a second holo- caust within a single. gener- ation. "Zionism as we conceive it looks forward to a peaceful resolution of the complex problems in the Middle East and the realization of justice for Jew and Arab alike. But Israel cannot be asked to purchase peace at the price of suicide." - 26019 Woodvilla Place Southfield, Mich. 48076 Hours by Appt. 557-6993 Jte Creative Weavings Quality Yarns Instructional Classes I 15% OFF MU Yarns CATERING FOR ALL OCCASIONS Seating Up to 400 Call Our Banquet Manager 682-4300 Shenandoah Country Club 111/ 111IFFIFFED 28927 Southfield Road • lathrup Village, Michigan 48076 • (313) 424-8767 GIRLS, TEENS, YOUNG MISSES & WOMEN Discover the 4I1Mo r ld of Chubby fashions ( Clearance Sale!
