Their choir has many voices, from the old Com- munists over the New Left, to some ultra-Orthodox cir- cles on the one hand, and to inveterate assimilationists on the other. Recently a book by Nathan Weinstock appeared in the U.S.: "The End of Israel — The Middle East Conflict and the His- tory of Zionism." The book has aroused dis- cussions in America and in Europe, especially among students and post-gradu-. ates, and has frequentlyled to a hardening of anti-Zion- ist positions. Thus Jews like Weinstock have, intention- ally or not, become hench- men of Palestinian terror- ists. Weinstock's arguments may be used for negating Zionism and the state of Is- rael without openly embrac- ing anti-Semitism. Speaking of an "alleged continuous existence of the Jewish people or a Jewish nation" Weinstock has found an ally in Dr. Bruno Kreisky, the Austrian Chancellor, born a Jew. Kreisky, too, rejects the notion of a Jewish people as "unscientific," which means that the idea and reality of a Jewish people in his view cannot be inte- grated into Marxist ideol- ogy. Kreisky aims at overcom- ing the__tension between Northgate Shopping Center Greenfield Rd.

East and West by establish- .ing social-democratic re- gimes in Europe. If Israel enters this picture at all, it is only as a nuisance and a disturbing factor. At present the challenge from the Left, the Commun- ists, the New Left and even from some — though by no means all Social Democrats, is the most serious. But neither has the anti-Zionist stance of a small minority of Jewish Orthodoxy be- come a thing of the past. Not only the Naturei Karta, the dissident ex- treme Orthodox splinter group in Jerusalem's Mea Shearim Quarter, who might be called 'religious anarchists, have renewed their anti-Zionist campaign owing to the UN resolu- tions; even the more level headed Agudath Israel are against voicing their misgiv- ings and objections. Thus an article appeared recently in the organ of the Agudah Youth, warning the party lest it become a Zionist sa- tellite in the wake of the trend of Jewish solidarity. According to this view Zionism is predominantly 'a secular movement and as such cannot he fully ac- cepted by Jewish Ortho- doxy. The charge of rac- ism is of course rejected by those moderate opponents of Zionism, but its Jewish legitimacy is not fully rec- ognized because, ideologi- cal considerations apart, the realization of Zionism in Israel of today is not always consonant with the Halakha. Only a Jewish state based on the Law of the Torah as interpreted by rabbinical tradition can lay claim to full recognition by the pro- ponents of these fundamen- talist views. The assimilationists round the "Ameripn Coun- cil for Judaism" of Lessing Osenwald, Elmer Berger and Maurice Lazaron have been lately lying rather low, but that does not mean that their'particular brand of an- ti-Zionism is completely ex- tinct. Lazaron once went to such lengths as to say dur- ing an audience in the White House that the Jews were a religious community whose only common and specific link was the prayer book, since the Bible was not ex- clusively Jewish as the Jews shared it with the Chris- tians. As a reform rabbi he apparently had in mind the "Union Prayer Book" from which most references to Zion and to the national aspirations of Israel had been "expurgated". Meanwhile, it has been replaced by the "Gates of Prayer" which clearly re- flects the road taken by the Reform Movement from the original anti-Zionism via the later non-Zionism to its present-day Zionist stance. However, though the Re- form movement as such has admitted and corrected its former errors, one should not assume that the whole of its membership has over- come its anti-Zionist past. Even among the Zionist members — there is a far cry from philanthropic aid to Israel to identification leading to personal fulfill- ment — aliya. No similar charge can be reported on the part of a broad spectrum of the Marxist Left -- apart, of course, from those groups which have endeavored to reconcile Zionism with Marxism. On the Left Wing, those who had been doctri- naire anti-Zionists persev- ere in their negative atti- tude which is even harden- ing owing to the perverted judgment of the UN. In this situation it is nec- esSary not only to reply to the international discrimi- nation and defamation of Zionism by the call for its practical and speedy reali- zation, but Zionist philoso- phy must be rethought and wherever necessary adapted to the postulates and condi- tions of today, without, of course, whittling down or diluting its essential ele- ments. Incisive discussions of facts and ideas rather than rhetorical proclama- tions should on the ideologi- cal level be the response to the unprecedented chal- lenge which Zionism is fac- ing. Arabs Are Sought in Socialist Body PARIS (ZINS)' — Jean Ziegler, author of "The Liv- ing and the Dead" and a member of Switzerland's National Council, called on Arab countries to join Israel as active members of the So- cialist International. Ziegler wrote to Le Monde: "It seems absurd that the Israeli Labor Party, which is regularly repre- sented at meetings by the head of the Jerusalem gov- ernment, should be the only party in the Near East to take part in the work of the International." The Swiss writer said the recent vote by Sweden at the Security Council in favor of the Palestine Liberation Organization had triggered a crisis long brewing inside the Socialist International. The International, he claimed, had long been dom- inated by conservative and pro-American forces. Oil Consumption Increasing in U.S. WASHINGTON (ZINS) — After a two-year decline in the use of petroleum products in the United States consumption has be- gun to turn up. Federal Energy Adminis- tration figures show an in- crease in consumption of 3.7 percent over last year, with gasoline use up to 6.7 per- cent and home heating oil up 7.9 percent. At the same time, the American Petro- leum Institute, the oil in- dustry's lobbying organiza- tion, reported that oil imports were up sharply compared with last year.
