U. S. Criticism of Israel Called No Change
(Continued from Page 1)
ernment of Israel that the
future of Jerusalem will be
determined only through
the instruments of ne-
gotiation, agreement and
accommodation. Unilateral
attempts to predetermine
that future have no stand-
ing."
A tentative resolution
has been circulated pri-
vately at the UN calling
for an end to Israeli op-
pression of Arabs in the -
occupied territory, de-
manding Israel prevent
the desecration of holy
laces and make no
'flanges in the legal status
o _ f Jerusalem.
Meanwhile, the Security
Council at Israel's request is
circulating as an official UN
document the December re-
port of the Jerusalem Com-
mittee, an international ad-
visory group of religious
leaders, scholars, architects
and planners, which praised
Israel's administration of
Jerusalem. (See Jewish
News, Page 2, March 19,
1976.)
Israeli government offi-
cials in Jerusalem let it be
known unofficially that
they were unhappy over
Scranton's statement.
The government had no
immediate official reaction
to Scranton's speech, but
observers said the speech
marked a clear change of at-
titude by the United States
toward Israel and they said
Israel was seeking "clari-
fication."
Israeli newspapers were
less reticent. Maariv said
Scranton's comment con-
stituted "an open conflict"
between the two countries.
Yediot Achronot called the
speech "anti-Israel from A
to Z" in spite of Scranton's
"promise to follow
through in the footsteps"
of his predecessor, Daniel
P. Moynihan.
During Tuesday's debate
at the UN, Chaim Herzog,
Israel's Ambassador to the
UN, declared that Jordan
and Egypt did not do in
their "occupation" of the
West Bank and Gaza Strip
from 1948-67 what the Ar-
abs and their supporters are
now asking of Israel.
Herzog quoted Arab
newspapers before the 1967
Six-Day War as charging
both Jordan and Egypt with
harsh treatment of the Pa-
lestinians under their rule.
He quoted from a 1966
'Saudi Arabian newspaper
article which said the resi-
dents of Gaza were not al-
lowed to leave the area and
Palestinians were not per-
mitted to work in -Egypt
even without pay.
Herzog also decried the
repeated call for Israel to
evacuate the territories.
"For nine years we have
heard about the 1967 bor-
ders," he said, even from
Israel's friends in the West.
But he noted that even be-
fore 1967 there was no peace
and while borders are part
of the problem the real
heart of it is the Arab re-
fusal to recognize the legiti-
macy of Israel.
Herzog's remarks came
as he exercised his right of
reply after 11 countries
and the Palestine Libera-
tion Organization had at-
tacked Israel's rule of the
West Bank and East Jeru-
salem. In his reply, Herzog
declared, "This whole
cynical exercise is so dis-
torted it is hardly worth
the time we are taking."
Herzog specifically took
aim at the Soviet Union,
Egypt, Syria, and Jordan.
He said he was "moved" by
the Soviet. Union's defense
of freedom Of religion and
he said he hoped, and was
sure many Moslems hoped,
that this means a new policy
toward religion in the
USSR.
The Israeli envoy also re-
jected the charge by the So-
viet Union and the Arab
countries that Israel has
"Israelized" the school cur-
riculum in the West Bank.
He said the Arab schools in
East Jerusalem and the
West Bank all follow the
Jordanian curriculum. He
added that he hoped the
Soviet concern for protect-
ing cultures also meant it
will give this same freedom
of expression to Jewish cul-
ture and schools in the
USSR.
