Carter Assures M.E. Peace to Be Based on Israel's Survival
ELIZABETH, N.J. (JTA)
— Former Gov. Jimmy
Carter of Georgia declared
Sunday that "a real peace
(in the Middle East) must be
based on the absolute assur-
ance of Israel's survival and
security" and "as President,
I would never yield on that
point."
Carter made that pledge
before an overflow crowd of
more than 2,000 persons at
the Jewish Educational
Center here. "Our constant
and unwavering goal must
be the survival of Israel as a
Jewish state and the
achievement of a just and
lasting peace," he said.
Carter said "Peace in the
Middle East depends more
than anything else on a
basic change in attitudes,"
he said.
"To be specific, on Arab
recognition of the right of
Israel to exist as a Jewish
state. This change must be
reflected in tangible and
concrete actions by the
Arab countries including:
Recognition of Israel; dip-
lomatic relations with Is-
rael; a peace treaty with
Israel; open frontiers by
Israel's neighbors; an end
to embargoes and official
hostile propaganda
against Israel," Carter
declared.
He stressed that he favors
face-to-face negotiations
between Israel and its Arab
neighbors, not a settlement
imposed by the major pow-
ers. He added that "the
guide to a general settle-
ment is to be found in
United Nations Resolution
242 which has been accepted
by Israel."
He said that "Arab lead-
ers will have to acknowledge
that the Arab-Israel war is
over, once and for all, that
this is not just another
armed truce."
Carter said as President
he would be committed to
continuing aid to Israel,
both economic and military,
and to maintaining a strong
American military presence
in the Eastern Mediterra-
nean and a "capacity to
reinforce that presence,
forcefully if need be, in or-
der to deter outside inter-
vention in any local con-
flict."
He observed that "We
want no clash with the So-
viets, but we could not ac-
cept the intervention of its
combat forces into any Ar-
ab-Israeli conflict." He said
he still holds to his view,
stated several months ago,
that the U.S. should not pro-
vide offensive weapons to
Egypt. But to help Egypt to-
ward its economic develop-
ment would be a step on the
Unprejudiced Vote
Urged by Rabbi
NEW YORK (JTA) —
Rabbi Marc H. Tanenbaum,
national director of the
American Jewish Commit-
tee's inter-religious affairs
department, has urged
American Jews not to vote
on "the basis of prejudice,
mythologies and stereo-
types." Tanenbaum related
his remarks to the question,
"Is Jimmy Carter good for
the Jews?" which, he
claimed "is probably the liv-
eliest and most anxious pol-
itical issue that is being dis-
cussed today in the Jewish
community." Carter is a
Southern Baptist.
In his weekly religious
commentary on WINS radio
here, Tanenbaum said that
"troubled discussion" sur-
rounds the evangelical
Christianity practiced by
the former Georgia Gover-
nor seeking the Democratic
Presidential nomination.

"Most northern Jews
and Christians have no
personal experience with
evangelical Christians and
base their perceptions on
historical and literary im-
ages, which are over-
whelmingly negative,"
Tanenbaum said.
"What most northerners
do not understand is that to-
day there is a pluralism of
the theologies as well as so-
cial visions among evangeli-
cals as there is among Cath-
olics and Jews," he said.
road to peace, he said.
Carter drew prolonged
applause when he said,
"This is a difficult time for
Israel in the international
arena. I deplore actions
taken recently in the UN. I
reject utterly the charge
that Zionism is a form of
racism. Indeed, Zionism has
been, in part, a response to
racism against the Jewish
people."
Jewish Prisoners'
Kosher Diet OK'd
By BEN GALLOB
NEW YORK (JTA) —
Jewish inmates of federal
prisons throughout *-
United States are now e.
tled to receive kosher meals,
including meat, poultry and
fish, according to Sidney
Kwestel, president of the
National Jewish Commis-
sion on Law and Public Af-
fairs (COLPA), which
helped negotiate the kosher
food arrangement with the
Federal Bureau of Prisons.
The statement setting the
formal policy is the first in
the 46-year history of the
bureau, Kwestel said, add-
ing that it was effective as
of May 25. Kwestel said that
a series of lawsuits on the
issue in Federal Court had
clarified in general terms
the right of Jewish prison-
ers to a kosher diet but had
not resolved the question of
the precise components of
such a diet.
He said that the federal
government had consist-
ently refused to provide
Jewish inmates with
kosher meat or poultry.
A draft statement setting
forth the new policy, applic-
able to any Jewish inmate
who asks for a kosher diet,
was prepared by COLPA
attorneys in cooperation
with representatives of•the
National Council of Young
Israel, the Union of Ortho-
dox Jewish Congregations
of America and the Rabbini-
cal Council of America.
Long War Trial
Ends in Hamburg
BONN (JTA) — One of
the longest war crimes
trials on record ended in
Hamburg last week where a
court acquitted a former
concentration camp com-
mandant and five former
guards of charges of com-
plicity in the mass murders
of Jews in World W
The prosecution had de-
manded life imprisonment
for 72-year-old Karl Strei-
bel, who commanded the
Trauniki camp in Poland
and was accused of direct or
indirect responsibility for
the deaths of over one
lion Jews there and a..,
Treblinka, Sobibor and Bel-
zec camps in 1942-43. But
Judge Joachim Seefeld said
insufficient evidence had
been produced to convict
Streibel and his five co-de-
fendants.
The trial had lasted 3 1/2
years during which the
court travelled to the United
States, Israel, Holland, Aus-
tria and Britain to question
some 200 witnesses includ-
ing concentration camp sur-
vivors.
