6 May 21, 1976 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Arabs'UN Anti-Zionist Stand Backfired in the U.S. (Continued from Page 1) abroad. Much of this re- sponse was immediate and spontaneous, and it came from every level of the or- ganized Christian church community — from the leadership of the national Catholic, Protestant, Evan- gelical and Orthodox insti- tutions, from regional and local church groups, and from individual clergy, aca- demicians and religious journalists." Miles Jaffe of Detroit, national chairman of the AJCommittee's Interreli- gious Affairs Commission, announced that the study would be used as the basis of Jewish-Christian dia- logues in numerous re- gions throughout the United States. Examination of the Chris- tian reactions, according to the study, indicates that reaction to the UN resolu- tion was independent of cus- tomary political attitudes on Middle East issues. Lead- ers of church groups often critical of Israel, as well as those friendly to Israel, de- nounced the UN action, per- ceiving it not only as anti-Is- rael and anti-Zionist, bit as anti-Semitic. Tanenbaum noted that among those condemning the anti-Zionist resolution were Archbishop Joseph Bernadin, president of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops; Dr. Rob- ert Moss, president of the United Church of Christ; Dr. Philip A. Potter, general secretary of the World Council of Churches; Jan Cardinal Willebrands, pres- ident of the Vatican's Secre- tariat for Promoting Chris- tian Unity; as well as the National Catholic Confer- ence for Interracial Justice. Meanwhile, the Rev. An- drew M. Greeley, a well- Father Greeley said that "Americans admire the spunk and modernity of Is- rael and support it strongly. Would such support survive another oil embargo? No nation would be wise to try to blackmail the United States for very long; they would find it extremely counterproductive." Father Greeley, however, urged that Catholics and Jews undertake joint re- search on their relationship, especially in the New York metropolitan area. He felt that misunderstandings could grow unless they were carefully analyzed and re- medied. Judaism and Chris- tianity, he said, had far more in common than had previously been thought, known Catholic priest, so- ciologist and author, de- clared that the general rela- tionship between American Catholics and American Jews was excellent and that there had been no decline in "the overwhelming Catholic support for the American alliance with Israel." Father Greeley is the director of the Center for the Study of American Pluralism at the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chi- cago. Speaking at the AJCom- mittee annual meeting, Athletes Look to Games; IOC Bans Memorial BY HASKELL COHEN (Copyright 1976, JTA, Inc.) Israel apparently is going to bring over quite a few athletes for participation in the Olympic Games. The soccer team, originally rated an outside chance to qualify as a representative for the Asian countries, has passed with flying colors by defeating Japan and South Korea. The basketball team, on the other hand, must qual- ify in the pre-Olympic Game competition which will be open to some 12 teams at Hamilton, Ontario a week prior to the Olympic Games themselves. Israel has only an outside chance of qualifying for the games proper. Only three of the teams participating in the pre-Olympic eliminations will be certified for the Games, and based on Is- rael's record against some of the competition, it seems fiagegumit 13cethet Saha is pleased to announce unlikely they will sneak through. The fact that not all of the best players in Is-. rael are eligible to play will mitigate the chances of the club. A player must be a citizen of a country for three years before he or she becomes eli- gible to represent that coun- try, and in basketball that will eliminate Bruce Ka- plan, formerly of Rutgers; Eric Minkin of Davison; and Lou Silver of Harvard, all of whom are stars on the Israel National League. In addition to qualifying in soccer, in all likelihood eight athletes, headed by Esther Roth, will partici- pate in track and field, swimming, wrestling and rifle shooting. Meanwhile, the Israel Olympic Committee is en- countering massive resist- ence from the International Olympic Committee to es- tablishing some sort of me- morial for the fallen Munich 11, at the opening ceremo- nies of the Games in Mon- treal or at any subsequent period during the run of the Olympics, between July 17 and Aug. 1. ture will not be delved into by the IOC. IOC members pointed out to Glovinsky that after World War II where so many men and women fell during the con- flict, an attempt was made to memorialize those who fell in the fray. At this time, in 1948, the Olympics were held in London, and the IOC stood steadfast by its deci- sion not to get itself involved in what it terms "a political area," and consequently re- fused to observe a moment of silence. Efforts are being made by interested organiza- tions in Canada- and the United States to come up with a solution, and it is believed that a memorial service may be conducted in a temple or synagogue in Montreal. However, the Canadian government has banned demonstrations from one week prior to one week after the Games. In addition to the Israel matter, the Russians want to counter with a memorial service for the 100 or more Mexican students who were killed in an uprising prior to the Mexican Games in 1968, the Quebec seperatists want to demonstrate against the presence of Queen Elizabeth at the Olympics, and teach- ers who have been on strike in Canada want to pull off a huge show of sympathy for their cause. with scholars constantly uncovering linkages and connections through histori- cal, archeological and theo- logical research.

JERUSALEM (JTA) — Israel'' will continue to fight for a fitting tribute to be held at the Montreal Olym- pics in memory of the 11 Is- raeli athletes killed at the Munich games four years ago. Foreign Minister Yigal Allon and Education Minis- ter Aharon Yadlin met with leaders of the Israeli Olym- pic Committee and decided to continue pressure upon friendly governments on this issue.
