Castro Accused of Waging
Campaign to Destroy Israel
WASHINGTON (JTA)—A
Bnai Brith study accuses
Cuban Premier Fidel Cas-
tro of embarking on a syste-
matic campaign to dis-
credit and destroy Israel in
an attempt to win lead-
ership of the Third World
and continued financial aid
from the Soviet Union.
The study, by Dr. Harris
Schoenberg, deputy director
for United Nations affairs
of the -Bnai Brith Inter-
national Council, is titled.
"Betrayal of an Ideal:
Cuba's campaign against Is-
rael."
According to Schoenberg,
Cuban armed forces "have
served with and trained
Arab forces and terrorist
groups committed to Is-
rael's destruction." He said
Cuba trained Arab pilots
and troops, served as
spokesman for, the Soviets
at various conferences and
attacked Israel repeatedly
during Castro's tour of Af-
rica.
At every opportunity Cas-
tro "appeared as the unoffi-
cial sponsor of the Pales-
-
tine Liberation Organiza-
tion," especially at the UN
where Cuba co-sponsored
the resolution equating Zion-
ism with racism," Schoen-
berg said.
The study said that
Cuba's policy.toward Israel
was characterized by "cor-
rectness and near cordial-
ity" until 1973 when Cuba
announced at the Algiers
summit conference of
aligned states that it
breaking off relations with
Israel.
Schoenberg claimed that
the Cuban about-face was
an attempt by Castro to di-
vert attention from his ra-
tion's economic problems
and "unspeakable political
oppression." The study said
that late in 1972, Castro re-
turned from a visit to Mos-
cow with "extraordinary"
new economic agreements
which by now is reported to
amount to $1 billion a year.
"In return for this bo-
nanza, the Cuban govern-
ment was ready to serve So-
viet interests in the Third
World," Schoenberg said.
