Bnai Brith Official Likens
Arab Newsletter to Nazis

CRESSKILL, N.J. (JTA)
— A top official of the
Anti-Defamation League of
Bnai Brith charged that
"Billy Carter's friends in
the Libyan Embassy in
Washington have begun a
newsletter which is dispens-
ing raw anti-Semitism."

Addressing the annual
dinner of DAL's Bergen
County Society of Fellows,
Abraham Foxman, the ADL
associate national director,
described the first edition of
"Jamahiriya Newsletter" as
"an Arab version of the
Nazis' Der Stuermer.' "

Foxman told some 300
guests who were paying
tribute to David
Goldman, a Fort Lee
industrialist and bene-
factor to communal
causes, that the inau-
gural issue of the maga-
zine carried a cartoon of
a procession of bearded
figures wearing
skullcaps and carrying
money bags destined to
Israel from the United
States.

The cartoon has Uncle

There was no floor opposi-
tion to the measure.

iously adopted a similar

Shulamit Aloni of the Civil
Rights Party . and Charlie
Biton of Rakah, said that
to-level Hungarian officials
hope to re-institute the rela-
tions with Israel, noting in
the interim that Hungary

Foxman said ADL will
register a protest with U.S.
officials.

The Society of Fellows is a
nationwide association of
professional, business and
civic leaders who assist the
ADL in campaiging, re-
cruitment and planning.
Meanwhile; a news
agency report from Kuwait
quoted Billy Carter in an
interview published simul-
taneously last week in the
magazines Al Yaqza and Al
Nandha that "I am deter-
mined not to surrender to
any threats and will not
