Gains Are Seen in NCC Flap
By RABBI MARC
TANENBAUM
that the NCC should
enlarge its perspective to
study the status of human
rights throughout the
Middle East — including
the oppression of the
Kurds, the Copts, the
Maronites, etc.
In response, the NCC put
aside the Antiochan Or-
thodox resolution and re-
solved instead to study the
entire Middle East problem.
That is a positive gain, it
seems to me, and it deserves
to be encouraged and aided,
not hampered. If the NCC
study mission to the Middle
East carries out its task
honestly and fairly, I have
no doubt they will find that
Israel is an oasis of liberty
and justice when contrasted
with the fanatic rule in most
of the surrounding Arab
countries.
