Sabotage? Indictment of Pro-Arab
Policies Rampant in Washington
(Editor's note: The fol-
lowing is an editorial that
appeared in the New
York Times on March 9
under the headline,
"Wrong Number on Is-
rael.")
There is a deeper reason
than "communication fail-
ure" for the Carter Ad-
ministration's pathetic tur-
nabout on Israel. Plainly,
the President either failed
to say precisely what kind of
United Nations resolution
he would support, or his
subordinates failed to tell
him the sweep of the resolu-
tion they got him to sign. It
not only condemned Israel's
new settlements in the West
Bank: it also called for dis-
mantling old ones and chal-
lenged Israel's rights in
Jerusalem, including even
the half of the city that has
always been Israeli.
A President who spent
weeks negotiating every
clause of Camp David sim-
ply had to know that these
provisions constitute the
program of Arabs who "re-
ject" Camp David. Not to
review the words was care-
less. Not to have been pro-
tected from them by his
senior aides was ominous.
The essential question for
the imminent Congres-
sional inquiry is not how the
Administration's communi-
cation failed. It is why
"communication" was even
necessary. Mr. Carter, after
all, has clearly opposed both
the creeping annexation of
the West Bank by Israel and
its conversion into a Pales-
tinian state.
If, nonetheless, senior of-
ficials are wont to make
common cause with people
who favor such a state,
there can be only two expla-
nations. The aides either
know the President's real
policy is different from what
he says in public, or they
mean to sabotage it
whenever he is not looking.
We suspect sabotage, a
long and honorable State
Department tradition

cerned. Honorable, be-
cause its Middle East ex-r
perts honestly believe
that America's intimacy
with Israel is an obstacle
to relations with the
Arabs, maintained by
successive Presidents
only to appease Jewish
voters. As the Andrew
Young affair again re-
vealed, eroding that in-
timacy is seen by many as
serving the national
interest. But when views
of the national interest
compete, it is for
presidents, not diploma-
tic guerrillas, to decide. A
bureaucracy cannot be a
democracy.
The anti-Israel under-
ground has grown in
strength with the growth of
American dependence on
Arab oil. It has been abetted
by Israel's flagrantly pro-
vocative conduct in the
West Bank. So while the
Begin government sys-
tematically dilutes its
promise of "autonomy" to
the Arabs there, many
American diplomats reg-
ularly exaggerate the
Palestinians' prospects.
They promise them more
than the United States can
deliver, and encourage the
Arab nations to bid with oil
against Israel's supporters
in the United States.
Americans and Israelis
have thus unwittingly corn-
bined to undermine their
greatest achievement,
Camp David.
The best that Mr. Carter
can plead is that he is being
crushed between these
forces. Looking to register
some dismay over Israel's
plan for urban West Bank
settlements, he let himself
buy a clearly pro-Arab and
"rejectionfist" statement
that finally had to be re:
pudiated.
His real failures have
little to do with com-
munication. He has failed
to impose on his Adminis-
tration a plan for improv-
ing ties to , the Arabs
without betraying Is-
rael's security concerns.
And he has failed to find
ways to alter some of Is-
rael's policies without
cracking the foundation
of its American relation-
ship, on which every-
thing else has to be built.
The President stand
an intelligent course:
mitted to Israel's security
but opposed to its unilateral
expansion in the West
Bank. In the Camp David
formulas, he has a basis for
starting to deal with the
Palestinian issue. But they
will never bear fruit if Israel
cannot trust America sand if
Arabs are led to expect more
from maneuvers at the
United Nations than direct
negotiations.
Mr. Carter has the power
to pressure Israel without
weakening its global posi-
tion. He certainly has the
power to remove disloyal
subordinates. Timidity, not
stupidity, seems to be the
problem.

Sen. Kennedy Affirms Stand
on an Undivided Jerusalem
U.S. Senator Edward
Kennedy Wednesday night
declared, in a statement to
The Detroit Jewish News,
that he is for a unified and
undivided Jerusalem.
In an interview after the
reception in his honor by
500 supporters, at Somerset
Inn, and prior to the dinner
hosted for him by the Ivan
Blocks, Kennedy declared
that he opposes linking East
Jerusalem in the category of
occupied Israeli territory.
Wallenberg
Day in N.Y.
Set by Carey
Governor Hugh Carey set
March 27 as Raoul Wallen-
berg Day in the state of New
York.
The day will be utilized to
stimulate activity in behalf
of rescuing from his jail in
Russia the eminent rescuer
of tens of thousands of Jews
from the Nazi terror in
Hungary.
Details of plans will be
announced next week,
stated Annette Lantos of
San Francisco, who
spearheaded the campaign
in behalf of Wallenberg.
Again assailing the Car-
ter role on Israeli issues,
Kennedy, who said he took
pride in his five visits to Is-
rael and the addresses he
delivered at Ben-Gurion
University three years ago,
said he would depend upon
Israel's role in negotiations
on the status of Jerusalem
as the capital of Israel and
on the so-called settlements
problem.
"Strongest posy
measures to aid dissi-
dents in Russia will be
supported by me at -41
times," Keimedy sail
He said he viewed with
great apprehension the con-
sequences of another four
Carter years in Washington
and the ill effect he main-
tains it would have on
domestic and foreign
policies.
All growth depends upon
activity. There is no de-
velopment physically or in-
tellectually without effort,
and effort means work.
Work is not a curse; it is the
prerogative of intelligence,
the only means to manhood,
and the measure of civiliza-
tion.
—Calvin Coolidge
