According to the writers, Soviet objectives include neutralization of Western Europe, in part by denying it access to critical raw materials, the encirclement of China and the isolation of the U.S. "The Soviet focus on the Middle East, as a way of obtaining these aims, represents a real and growing threat to Western security," they wrote. "We strongly support the pursuit of friendship and improved relations with all responsible governments in the Middle East. However, UNITED NATIONS (JTA) — Israeli Ambas- sador Yehuda Blum said tliat the General Assembly resolution adopted last week calling on the Security Council to impose an arms embargo on Israel was aimed at destroying Israel by denying it the right to self-defense. Addressing the Assem- bly, Blum said the adoption was "one more illustration" of the manner in which, "at a time when all efforts are being made to overcome 30 years of bitter hostility in our region, the majority of the General Assembly is being bullied into adopting policies of confrontation and condemnation in lieu of re- conciliation and peace." He charged that the Arab states. particularly Iraq, which initiated the resolu- tion, were using their oil revenues to arm themselves heavily while Israel had re- duced its military budget by 20 percent. The resolution, which was adopted by a vote of 72-30 with 37 abstentions, describes Israel as a "grave menace to inter- national peace and secu- rity." It requested the imposi- tion of a mandatory em- bargo against Israel on "any supply of arms, ammuni- tion, military equipment or vehicles, or any spare parts thereof." To accept good advice is but to increase one's own ability. — Goethe DISCO DISCO IS THE POPULAR WAY TO GO -Wedding-Graduation or Special Event.
