CONGREGATION SHAAREY ZEDEK 27375 Bell Road, Southfield BRING YOUR FRIENDS Within the Jewish com- munity, the disappointment was manifest in the state- ments given by Leon Kronitz, executive vice president of the Canadian Zionist Federation, who said, "We are disappointed that the Prime Minister of Canada gave in to this type of pressure. We believe that only the government of a country can decide which city will be its capital. Israel has chosen Jerusalem for historic, cultural and politi- cal reasons and Jerusalem, in our view, will remain the capital of the state of Israel. Therefore, eventually all the friendly countries which have diplomatic relations with Israel will have their embassies in Jerusalem." Abdullah Abdullah, di- rector of the Palestine sec- tion of the Arab League In- formation Center in Ot- tawa, said that Clark's deci- sion was "a correction of a previous mistake which is a good thing. It is a positive step for the government to realize its mistake and cor- rect it." * * * Trudeau Against `Jewish Pressure' Earlier, Trudeau warned that continuing pressure by Canadian Jewish leaders over anti-boycott legisla- tion and the transfer of Canada's embassy could stir anti-Semitism in Canada. He also charged that pressure by Zionists in the United States is making it difficult for President Car- ter to aid in the current Middle East peace negotia- tions and that the Israel government's hard line on the West Bank makes a set- tlement of the Palestinian problem impossible and oculd result in a new war in the Middle East. Trudeau expressed his views in an interview pub- lished in the Toronto Star last Thursday. "Zionists in the United States, who are more zealous than in Israel, have made it difficult for Carter to aid negotiations by telling Israel they must be more flexible or risk los- ing American support," Trudeau was quoted as say- ing. He said similar pres- sure was exerted by Canadian Jewish leaders who are only now becom- ing aware that by forcing the Conservative gov - ernment to promit tougher anti-boycott- legislation and to shift the Embassy to Jerusalem "they have opened the way to grow- ing anti-Semitiim." "The pressure groups in Canada, responsible for convincing the Conserva- tive Party while they were in opposition, to support boycott legislation tougher than ours (Liberal Party) and the embassy transfer" have hurt Canada eco- nomically, Trudeau said, and thereby stirred anti- Semitic feelings. • He expressed the belief that Canadian Jewish lead- ers are only now becoming cognizant of this fact and therefore would be urging Prime Minister Joe Clark to back away from his election campaign promises.
