CUSTOM DRAPERIES'
UN Debates and U.S. Policy Draw Sharp Israeli Rebukes
(Continued from Page 18)
The fact that the Sec-
urity Council consensus
will be followed this week
by a debate in the General
Assembly over the re-
commendations of the
Committee on the Ina-
lienable Rights of the
Palestinian People in-
creases the possibility of
disturbances in the ad-
ministered territories,
Israeli sources say.
The debate will con-
ider a program to im-
plement a 1974 resolution
supporting the right of
self-determination and
national independence
for the Palestinians and
their right to ''return to
the homes and property
from which they were up-
rooted" by June, 1977.

The danger of the Com-
mittee's recommendations
was highlighted in a report
by Dr. Harris Schoenberg,
Bnai Brith deputy direc-
tor for UN affairs, who
stated: "Behind a facade
of pseudo-legalistic for-
mulations regarding the
right of return and of
self-determination, is a
fundamental and retroac-
tive challenge to Israel's
right to exist, one that ig-
nors Israel's sovereignty
and laws."
Schoenberg noted that
the recommendations vio-
lated at least three articles
of the UN Charter which
deal with the need for a
peaceful and just settle-
ment of international dis-
putes, the protection of
Rumsfeld Expresses Support
for Israel in PBS Interview
WASHINGTON (JTA)
— Defense Secretary
Donald Rumsfeld has
said in post-election
comments that American
willingness to continue
support of Israel is based
on the Jewish State's be-
lief in and practice of
freedom, its geographic
position in an area of
danger of U.S.-Soviet con-
frontation and because it
refuses to condone ter-
rorism.
"Israel is an important
country in the world be-
cause of the example it
sets," Rumsfeld said,
pointing to the Entebbe
rescue operation.
His remarks came in a
multi-faceted interview
with Martin Agronsky
that was taped for tele-
casting on Public Broad-
casting Service stations.
The significance Of
Rumsfeld's evaluation of
U.S. commitment to Israel,
which he said is "a sensi-
ble policy" and will re-
commend both to his suc-
cessor and to President-
elect Jimmy Carter, is in
its timing and his personal
potential political
strength in the Republican
Party when he leaves'the
Cabinet in January for an
as yet unannounced post.
The timing of
Rumsfeld's evaluation
was noted by Agronsky
who told the Secretary
that "were we still in the
midst of the (Presidential
election) campaign, your
,Dinitz May Stay
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Premier Yitzhak Rabin
and Foreign Minister
Yigal Allon have offi-
cially asked Ambassador
Simha Dinitz to continue
his tenure as Ambas-
sador to Washington for
an unlimited period. This
was announced following
rumors that Dinitz would
leave office after the in-
auguration of President-
elect Jimmy Carter.
The request by Rabin
and Allon was seen as an
expression of confidence
in Dinitz who has served
in Washington for more
than three years. It did
not mean that Dinitz may
not be replaced in the
course of next year.
remark would probably
be evaluated in political
terms, but the campaign
is over and you really feel
that this is the way to
evaluate the American
commitment to Israel."
Rumsfeld replied, "I
have every reason to be-
lieve that it's the policy
that this country will con-
tinue as it has in the past
through successive Pres-
idents of both parties."
When Agronsky
suggested that support of
Israel is "a burden that
we accepted, in effect, in
terms of our national in-
terest, we're willing to
continue to support,"
Rumsfeld responded,
"Exactly."
Asked for recommen-
dations of a Middle East
settlement, such as a
U.S.-Soviet 'guarantee or
the Fulbright plan in- -
volving a U.S.-Israeli tre-
aty, Rumsfeld replied
that from a standpoint of
the White House and the
State and Defense De-
partments, "the goal is to
keep working, as the Un-
ited States has, over a
period of years, to try to
find a formula that
works."
sovereign equality the UN
is supposed to afford its
members, and the objec-
tives of UN studies which
are required to promote
international cooperation
in the political field and
the realization of human
rights and fundamental
freedoms for all without
distinction.
Israeli Ambassador
Chaim Herzog repeated
Israel's call for direct
negotiations to resolve
Mideast problems and
said no amount of UN
browbeating and anti-
Semitism will change Is-
rael's policies.
Herzog said the report
by the 20-member Com-
mittee on the Exercise of
the Inalienable Rights of
the Palestinian People is
"nothing but a prescrip-
tion for the dismantling
of the state of Israel in
stages."
Herzog said the com-
mittee's report is simply
"a recasting of the Pales-
tine Liberation Organi-
zation's statements be-
fore the committee."
Noting that 16 of the 20
members of the commit-
tee did not have diploma-
tic relations with Israel
and that "some of them
even deny Israel's right
to exist."
"The recommendations
conflict with Security
Council Resolutions 242
and 338, and are designed
to bypass these resolu-
tions which form the only
agreed basis for the solu-
tion of the Arab-Israeli
conflict in all its aspects
including the question of
the Palestinian Arabs."

NEW YORK (JTA) —
Members of the Zionist
Organization of America
observed the first an-
niversary of the United
Nations General Assem-
bly resolution equating
Zionism with racism by
declaring a "Day of
Zionist Affirmation"
which included picketing
in front of the embassies
and consulates of some of
the countries that voted
for the resolution.

estimated 500 persons
participated, picket lines
were set up in front of the
consulates of Brazil,
Kuwait, Saudi Arabia,
Egypt, Mexico and the
UN Missions of Syria, the
Soviet Union and the Un-
ited Arab Emirates. Simi-
lar demonstrations were

Argentine Predicts
'No' to Racism Vote
BUENOS AIRES (JTA)
— Foreign Minister Cesar
Guzzetti predicted that in
the future Argentina will
vote against any resolu-
tions at the United Na-
tions equating Zionism
with racism.
He made that state-
ment in written replies to
questions submitted by
the Jewish weekly Mundo
Israelita in which he dis-
cussed his recent meet-
ings with American
Jewish community lead-
ers in the United States
and with Israel's Foreign
Minister Yigal Allon at
the UN General Assem-
bly.
The Foreign Minister
also told Munda Israelita
that in his contacts in the
U.S. he had sought to al-
leviate the fears of many
American Jews that
Argentine Jewry was
threatened by rampant
anti-Semitism.
