New Israeli Consul in New York Sets Goals
By YITZHAK RABI
NEW YORK (JTA) — 9
hope you are not going to
ask me about my plans, be-
cause I do not have any at
the moment. I am still
learning," says Yosef (Paul)
Kedar, Israel's new Consul
General in New York.
Although he is still
"learning," the 53-year-old
diplomat -- an articulate,
easy-going man — has a
clear idea of the major tasks
of the Israeli Consulate in
New York. "My activities
will focus on three major
fields," Kedar explained.
"First, dealing with the
large Jewish community
here; second, the issue of
hasbara (public informa-
tion), and third, the official
contacts with the local au-
thorities of the city and the
state."
Kedar, who until his re-
cent appointment as Consul
General was the chief
curator of Beth Hatfuzoth
Right in.your
own Driveway!
(Museum of the Jewish
Diaspora) in Tel Aviv, said
that as Consul he hopes to
be the link between the
Jewish community in New
York and Israel.
The issue of hasbara, in
Kedar's view, is of utmost
importance in New York
because "this city is a
media center" and Is-
rael's cause will be en-
hanced when hasbara —
which has been under
constant criticism — is
improved.
As a sabre who was born
in Neveh Zedek, the first
Jewish suburb of Jaffa,
Kellar admitted that he has
"ambivalent" feelings to-
ward yordim, Israelis who
are permanently living in
the United States. But he
stressed that he believes
that any Israeli citizen in
New York and elsewhere in
the United States is entitled
to all the consular services
of the Israeli Consulate.
"And as a Jew he deserves
the same treatment as any
other Jew here," Kedar
said. He added: "I do not
have a negative feeling to-
ward Israelis here, but at
the same time I do not en-
dorse the fact that they have
left Israel. I would try my
best to contact them and to
learn their problems, and I
hope I could help some of
them to return home."
Kedar's family moved to
France in the 1920s after
his father, Ben-Zion
Homsky, an active Re-
visionist, was sentenced to a
prison term and then exiled.
In 1940, when the Ger-
mans invaded France,
Kedar escaped to Great Bri-
tain and joined the Royal
Air Force in 1941. After re-
ceiving pilot training in the
United States Navy at Pen-
NEW YORK (JTA) —
The Anti-Defamation
League of Bnai Brith has
welcomed reports from
Asuncion, Paraguay, that
human rights leader
Domingo Laino has been re-
leased from jail.
Laino was reportedly re-
leased Aug. 7, 10 days after
ADL had publicly expressed
fear for Laino's safety after
he was arrested last month.
The arrest occurred one day
after Laino returned from a
six-week visit to the United
States during which he had
openly criticized the dic-
tatorial regime of Gen. Al-

Thousands of viewers re-
portedly wrote to the televi-
sion station asking for the
recipe. Naftali Blumental,
Koor manager,
im-
mediately suggested that
his firm should mass-
produce the soup to provide
this item for countless
salivating palates.
Koor Industries, which
was established in 1944 by
Histadrut is now one of Is-
rael's largest corporations.
It is now ranked 196th in
Fortune magazine's listing
of 500 major industrial cor-
porations outside the Un-
ited States.
Rosenthal said that
Laino; when he was a de-
puty, had proposed a bill
calling for the investigation
of Nazi influence in
Paraguay and the revoca-
tion of citizenship granted
to Joseph Mengele, the most
wanted of Nazi war crimi-
nals.

that Israeli women are more

conditions, which is the
major cause of death in Is-
