THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Friday, September 21, 1919 35 Mizrachi Women Focus on Fighting Anti-Semitism Accept Palestinian Rights, New York Congress- the blacks there register to American public about the NEW YORK — A new But Maintain Israel Security' dedication and commitment woman, Elizabeth vote." 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.

The light of the righteous rejoiceth. - on the part of the American Jewish community to corn- bat growing anti-semitism and anti-Israel sentiment in the United States was called for by an array of speakers at the American Mizrachi Women national convention in New York. Francine Lashinsky, con- vention chairman, intro- duced the speakers, who in- cluded a representative from Mayor Edward Koch's office, and Dr. Maxine Mil- ler, chairman of the AMW Israel Board of Directors, who delivered greetings from Israel and presented a view of the current state of AMW projects in Israel. Addresses also were de- livered by. Israeli Ambas- sador the U.S., Ephraim Evron; Congressman Peter Peyser; Metropolitan Opera star, Roberta Peters; repre- sentatives of Jewish organ- izations such as the Jewish National Fund of America, State of Israel Bonds, American Zionist Federa- tion and the National Con- ference on Soviet Jewry, as well as a wide ranging series of workshops and seminars on issues of inter- est to the American Jewish community. 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 $650 per year. 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.
