truth of Israel's position in
NEW YORK (JTA) —
Zbigniew Brzezinski,
President Carter's national
security adviser, declared
that Israel must be pre-
pared "to accept legitimate
Palestinian rights, and to
interpret the Camp David
accords on the West Bank
and Gaza both generously
and with wise attention to
the needs of an enduring
peace with the Palestinian
neople — all, of course, with
regard for Israel's
b .,nuine security needs."
Addressing a dinner
sponsored by the World
Jewish Congress, marking
the first anniversary of the
signing of the Camp David
accords, at the Pierre Hotel
in New York, Brzezinski
said that the time has also
come "for all Palestinian,"
to accept UN Resolutions
242 and 338 "and Israel's
right to exist." But he
warned that if the Palesti-
nians refuse to enter the au-
tonomy negotiations, the
negotiations between Israel
and Egypt will proceed
without them.
ZBIGNIEW BRZEZINSKI
"The time is fast ap-
proaching when the Pales-
tinians should enter the au-
tonomy negotiations to help
determine their own future
— though their unwilling-
ness to enter must not be
permitted to delay the
Israeli-Egyptian-U.S.
talks," he said. But he as-
serted that Israel "bears a
responsibility to reach out
to the Palestinians in new
and creative ways."
Brzezinski also
stressed that a peaceful
solution for the West
Bank and Gaza' Strip is
imperative for peace in
the Mideast. He said
has no doubt that the
present negotiations for
autonomy will be suc-
cessful.
`I can reaffirm to you to-
.ght," Brzezinski declared
to the more than 500 guests,
including Egypt's Ambas-
sador to the United Nations,
Esmat Abdel Meguid and
some 40 other highranking
foreign diplomats,
"President Carter is totally
committed to the attain-
ment of peace in the
Mideast. There will be
peace for all; there will be
security for all." But he
added, "This will take time,
it will take vision, it will
take courage. And it will
take an understanding of
the consequences if we do
not all join together to seek
a broad, lasting and corn-
prehensive peace in the
Mideast."
Brzezinski concluded his
speech by predicting that
peace in. the Mideast will
make possible cooperative
ventures between the Is-
raelis and Palestinians
whom he described as
"among the most advanced,
best trained people" in the
area.
The Israelis and the
Palestinians — whatever
respective arrangements
between them dpvelop
from the peace process —
can transform their an-
cient lands into a thriving
community of economic
and social interest in the
Mideast, into a model for
others, into nothing less,
in fact, than the catalyst
for creative develop-
ment, for intellectual and
technological innovation
for a region that is burst-
ing with opportunity and
that is crying for peace,"
Brzezinski declared.
During the dinner, Rabbi
Arthur Schneier was in-
stalled as chairman of the
American Section of the
World Jewish Congress by
Philip Klutznick, president
of WJC. Rabbi Schneier is
the spiritual leader of the
Park-East Synagogue in
Manhattan and also the
founder and president of the
Appeal of Conscience
Organization which prom-
otes religious freedom
around the world.

his mission by Clark after
the latter's election cam-
paign promise to move

on the part of the American

cluded a representative
from Mayor Edward Koch's
office, and Dr. Maxine Mil-
ler, chairman of the AMW

Emanuel
Rabbi
Rackman, president of
Bar-Ilan University in Is-
rael, said, "There seems
to be a new ethic at work
in the United States to do
unto the Jews what you
would not do unto any-
one else."
Rabbi Rackman singled
out the growing tendency on
the part of the media and
the Carter Administration
to urge that Israel cooperate
with the PLO in establish-
ing a Palestinian state that
would be a serious threat to
Israel's existence.
"We must unite as Jews to
fend off this latest menace
to the state the Jewish
people have suffered so long
to achieve." Rabbi Rackman
added that ultimately, "the
responsibility must lie
primarily with the Jewish
family whose duty it has
always been to imbue- our
youth with a lasting sense of
Jewish identity and the
commitment to the ideal of
Judaism."
Rabbi Rackman also
praised AMW's Gush Dan
Technological High School
which has been established
on the campus of Bar Ilan
University, where religious
students can study highly
technical subjects in a tradi-
tional Jewish environment.
Serving 97,000
There are 97,000 persons
in Organization for Re-
habilitation through Train-
ing programs this year.
ORT served Jewish com-
munities in 17 countries in
Latin America, the United
States, Europe, the Middle
East, North Africa and
India apart from technical
assistance programs in 14
additional countries.
ORT operational costs to-
talled over $50 million — an
average cost per student of

Holtzman spoke on the
"Hunt for Nazis in
America."
"This country has got to
take an unambiguous stand
on anti-Stmitism. We are
used to seeing anti-
Semitism flourish in places
like Argentina and the
Soviet Union, and now it
has become a growing
threat in the U.S. as well.
Since the Andrew Young af-
fair, the loyalty of Jews to
the United States has come
into question. Recently,
black leaders stated that
Jews only help the blacks
when it is in their interest to
do so. I can't help remem-
bering that in 1964 two
young Jews were murdered
in Mississippi while helping
Leonard Davis, informa-
tion director of the
America-Israel Public Af-
fairs Committee, spoke on
the "America-Israel Con-
nection" and called upon the
American Jewish commu-
nity to embark on a cam-
paign of informing the
the Mideast conflict.
