Dole Lashes Carter Policies
NEW ORLEANS (JTA)
— Sen. Robert Dole (R-
Kan.), a potential
Presidential candidate in
next year's elections, char-
acterized the Carter Ad-
ministration's Middle East
policy as an "international
dead end."
Addressing the opening
session of the Zionist
Organization of America's
National Executive Com-
mittee meeting here Satur-
day night, Dole said "We
stand dangerously close to a
Mideast policy that
threatens the very integrity
of Israel. As long as
America is at the mercy of
the Arab oil producers, Is-
rael is at dagger's point."
The Senator, President
Ford's running mate in the
1976 election, said "The
first tenet of American pol-
icy towards the Palestinian
question should be to refute
the notion that the Pales-
tine Liberation Organiza-
THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
tion represents the Palesti-
nian people.
"Just as Israel should
not be expected to right
the historic wrongs of the
Arabs towards their
Palestinian brethren,
neither should Israel
negotiate with terrorists
who openly proclaim
their objective — the de-
struction of the state of
Israel."
Dole suggested accepting
the late UN Secretary Gen-
eral Dag Hammarskjold's
policy in 1959 for Arab
lands to absorb Arab refu-
gees, "the cost of such reset-
tlement to be paid for by oil
revenues."
