The orchestration of the anti-Israel, anti- Zionist and anti-Jewish campaign by the Soviet Union was exposed and assailed by the confer- ence participants. It was a learning confer- ence for the participants and their communities to know the truth and a mobilizing movement to as- semble all available forces to overcome the menace. The climax of the revela- tions came in a cabled mes- sage from Israel's Prime Minister Menahem Begin who described the mounting hatred against Jewry and called for a "counter- offensive" to prevent even more menacing growth of the bigotries that threaten the very life of Israel. It was under the general chairmanship of Gordon B.

Under the leader- ship of ZOA President Ivan Novick, World General Zionist President Jacques Torczyner, and their associ- ates, a new spirit was intro- duced to confront the anti- Semites and to battle for truth in American and world circles. Biden told the 400 people at the opening session that the erosion of support for. past Mideast positions in- volved changing condi- tions "on the domestic scene" from which U.S. Middle East policy "is not immune." He said that "there is also genuine confusion on the part of most Americans because of their misunderstand- ing" of the West Bank set- tlement policy of Premier Menahem Begin's gov- ernment. He said, "I per- sonally stand by Prime Minister Begin's decision WINDOW SHADES BLANKETS PILLOWS • • • A lice If you're moving we can remake and re-install your existing draperies to fit another window or room.

Declaring that "the sur-' vival of Israel is directly connected to the survival of America," Biden said "the creation of a PLO state" in the West Bank and Gaza "is contrary to U.S. interests. As supporters of Israel we are uneasy because we have become unsure of the fun- damental commitment of the American people and the lack of continuity of the Carter Administration" in its Middle East policy. He said also that "there has been a breach among old allies — the black and Jewish communities — and this breach runs very deep," a reference to overtures to the PLO by some American black leaders, including some leaders of the South- ern Christian Leadership Conference which, Biden said, "is being naive about what is at stake in the Mid- dle East." Leon Dulzin, chairman of the Jewish Agency and World Zionist Organization Executives, said "the case of the Palestinians" had be- come "one of the greatest distortions of modern his- tory," a development he said stemmed from the fact that "we in Israel are responsible for not explaining properly" that case. He said "200,000 is the maximum number of Arabs who lived on both sides of the Jordan River prior to the first wave of Jewish immigration. It was after then that Arabs from the surrounding areas came to Palestine to live. In this Palestine, the Jews now have their sovereign state, Israel, with 3,150,000 popula- tion, and the Palestinians have their. state, Jordan, with 1.5 million. There is no place for a second Arab state in Palestine." Declaring it was "truly a paradox that the Jews are always the scapegoats," Dulzin said there were two million Arabs fighting for autonomy in Iran and asked: "Does anyone care? What about the Kurds? Did anyone care about them?" He added: "You can rest as- sured Isarel will not be the scapegoat any more. There, is complete consensus in Is- rael that there will be no Palestinian state, that we will not negotiate with the PLO and Jerusalem will not be divided." Ivan Novick, ZOA president, said that "those who join in public criticism of Israel are in fact under- mining Israel and encouraging the impositimi of solutions to difficult prob- lems by outside powers." Urging an end to "such tac- tics," Novick called "upon the American Jewish lead- ership assembled here to express a solid front of sup- port for Israel:" Gen. Alexander Haig, former supreme comman- der of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), said that Israel is the strongest military power in the Middle East whose "very existence" serves to deter Soviet ag- gression. He added that a strong, viable Israel assists American interests and "bolsters our friends in the region and elsewhere." Haig said attempts to draw the PLO into the negotiations between Is- rael and Egypt "withou agreement on the goals a, the process" undermines both Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Begin. He called the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt "a deterrent to war." Haig described linkage between Arab-Israeli set- tlements and oil prices as "tenuous" and denied any connection between U.S. re- lations with the PLO and American ties to Saudi Arabia. Yehuda Blum, Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, said that he recog- nized a parallel between the systematic program of the Germans which sought to isolate the Jews of Europe from the general population and the current worldwide effort to "delegitimize the state of Israel." Theodore Mann, chair- man of the Conference of Presidents of Major Ameri- can Jewish Organizations, expressed his concern that the position of black leaders and Republican President- ial candidate John Connally will eventually win many adherents and that "around March, when there are new oil shortages, it is possible - the President will adopt the Connally position." Mann was referring to the con- troversial Connally position - paper linking Israeli con- cessions to the supply of Arab oil. Mann also told the con- ference that he was con- cerned by Moshe Dayan's resignation as Israel's foreign minister. "The State Department and the President know Dayan has a big consti-. tuency in the United States," Mann explained. "Thus they may feel they can lean on Israel. I am also concerned about the lack of a counter to Gen. Arik Sharon," Israel's agriculture minister who favors massive Jewish settlements on the We Bank. There were numerous de- partures from the usual convention practices, in- cluding the religious serv- ices on Sabbath morning at which the sermon was de- livered by a layman, the venerable octogeneraian leader Beinish Epstein. 35 years, religious services at Zionist conventions have been organized by the New York leader, ZOA national treasurer Jack Lefkowitz. The uniqueness of the conference was in the multi-lingual character. Simultaneous translations were provided over specially-installed ear- phones of speeches deliv- ered in Enlgish, Spanish or Yiddish. For
