Bnai Brith Backs Status Quo for Israel Law of Return

(Continued from Page 1)
"This regrettable pro-
posal is related to the rejec-
tion in Israel of the legiti-
macy of non-Orthodox rab-
bis which we similarly de-
plore," the Bnai Brith lead-
ers added.
Bnai Brith honored past
Bnai Brith Youth Organ-
ization president Philip
Klutznick, now U.S. secre-
tary of commerce, and Neil
Goldschmidt, a former
BBYO member who is now
secretary of transportation.
The board also approved a
1980 budget of $10.8 mil-
lion, some $400,000 below
the spending level voted for

1979.
Both the Bnai Brith
board of governors and
the Anti-Defamation
League called on
President Carter to re-
evaluate U.S. Middle East
policies and reaffirm the
strategic role of Israel.

Noting the Soviet inva-
sion of Afghanistan, Bnai
Brith said that "next to
strengthening Israel, the
most important function the
U.S. can perform in the

Middle East is to forge an
alliance "between Israel
and Arab states having an
interest in thwarting the
Soviet advance and pre-
venting a radicalization of
the region.
This process, the Jewish
leaders stated, requires an
understanding by Washing-
ton that "any autonomy
plan which undermines Is-
rael's security and provides
the building blocks for an
eventual PLO state ... can
only contribute to the very
process the U.S. is pledged
to resist."
At its meetings in
Florida, the ADL called on
President Carter to recog-
nize Israel's importance "as
a key strategic ally of the
U.S." and to reject any lin-
kage of the Palestinian
question with lower oil
prices.

An ADL resolution on
Israel's security declared
that "a strong and secure
Israel" was crucial to
American interests in the
Middle East. On the
Palestinian issue, the
document stated that a

JERUSALEM (JTA) —
"A dream come true." That
was how Isaac de Picciotto,
vice president of the
Alexandria Jewish commu-

ence Sunday morning
planting a sapling in the
Jewish National Fund's
Peace Forest overlooking
the Old City of Jerusalem.
De Picciotto and the other
members of the Alexandria
group visiting Israel toiled
with shovels and hoes to
sink their roots into the soil
of the Holy City. •

reached through negotia-

the people of the region,
and that "Israel should
not be pressured by the
U.S. or others to make
concessions whicif
endanger her security."

According to the ADL, the
flow of Mideast oil does not
depend on "further constric-
tion of Israel's borders or
recognition of a Palestinian
state."
The ADL also urged the
Carter Administration and
Congress to quickly adopt a
national military budget
that would "qualitatively
and quantitatively" im-
prove the ability of Ameri

can forces to counter any
threat posed by "conven-
tional military' constella-
tions" in the next decade.

The first group of Egyp-

warmly received by Pre-
mier Menahem Begin over
the weekend. He invited
them to "stay forever."
Many were accompanied by

Meanwhile, a group of 45
Egyptian Jews, most of
them elderly, were in Israel
last week as guests of a
group of travel agencies,
hotels and transportation
companies which joined to-

The purpose was to en-
