GENEVA (JTA) — The
Nigerian ambassador to the
United Nations blamed the
political power of American
Jews for the refusal of the
United States to participate
in the UN-sponsored World
Conference to Combat Ra-
cism and Racial Discrimi-
nation.
"I think that the problem
in the U.S. is that the Jews
play a major role in the poli-
tics of the country," the
Nigerian envoy, Leslie Har-
riman, said.
"Even though they are
only eight million (Jews in
the U.S.) they are very,
very, very strong indeed."
(The 1978 edition of the
American Jewish Year
Book estimated the Jewish
population in the U.S. at
5,775,935.)
Harriman, who is also
chairman of the UN Special
Committee Against Apar-
theid, said that the "U.S.
was apprehensive that the
conference would be made a
forum for anti-Zionist mo-
tions and condemnations of
Israel and it chose, there-
fore, not to participate." Is-
rael also has boycotted the
conference for its linking of
Zionism with racism.
This linkage was seen
in a resolution being cir-
culated at the conference
Tuesday by the Soviet
Union and other East
European countries
which would reaffirm the
General Assembly reso-
lution that labels
"Zionism as being a form
of racism and racial dis-
crimination."

United Arab Emirates
suggested that the resolu-
tion should also condemn
countries that engage in
military cooperation with
South Africa, especially in
the nuclear field. This was
aimed at charges of military
cooperation between Israel
and South Africa, including
nuclear knowhow.
Israel has been attacked
throughout the conference
and has been linked re-
peatedly with South Africa.
Tanzania charged that Is-
rael, by denying the "in-
alienable rights of the
Palestinian people," was
reducing them to a subject
race similar to South Afri-
ca's apartheid policies.
Egypt, despite the up-
coming Camp David
meeting, compared the
regimes in Israel and
South Africa to the Nazi
doctrines of racial
superiority.
Attacks have come from
othet countries, including
the People's Republic of
China, which said Israel
was a base of imperialism.
Syria, which is taking the
hardest line against Israel

at the conference, has de-
manded that it be expelled
from the UN.
Israel's policies in the.
occupied territories were
also assailed by the delegate
of Sri Lanka, who expressed
concern about the "sys-
tematic violation of the
human rights of the Arabs
in the territories."
He accused Israel of
mass deportation of Arab
inhabitants of the ter-
ritories, the denial by Is-
rael of their right to re-
turn to their homes and of
confiscating Arab prop-
erty. He said these meas-
ures aim to change the
demographic composi-
tion of the territories.
Another attack against
Israel was launched by the
Foreign Minister of Cuba,
Isodoro Malmierca Peoli.
He noted that Israel and the
United States are boycot-
ting the conference "to-
gether with the representa-
tives of apartheid regimes"
and called on the conference
to express its support of the
Palestinian people, whose
territories, he said, are
occupied by Israel.

Journalists Back
Holocaust Series
in Montreal Star

MONTREAL (JTA) —
The Quebec Press Council
has ruled that a series on
the Holocaust printed in the
Montreal Star was a "docu-
ment of public interest" and
not an attempt to manipu-
late Quebec public opinion.
The Quebec City-based
council, a semi-official
group that rules on jour-
nalistic ethics, was replying
to a complaint from a man
named Roger Cote who ac-
cused the Star of "insidious
propaganda by trying to set
up a dangerous parallel be-
tween the politics of the
pro-independent Parti
Quebecois now in power in
this province and the Nazi
doctrine in Germany."
In rejecting Cote's com-
plaint, the council asserted
that he cannot act as a cen-
sor in determining the
policies or views of news-
papers and news agency
services.
