NCC Will Consider M.E. Resolution in May
HAPPY PASSOVER
WISHES
NEW YORK (JTA) —
The governing board of the
National Council of
Churches (NCC) will con-
sider a resolution on the
Middle East when it meets
in Indianapolis May 7-9
which calls for Arab states
and Palestinian Arabs to
accept Israel "as a Jewish
state" and urges Israel to
recognize the right of "na-
tional self-determination
for the Palestinian Arabs"
including their right to "a
sovereign state."
The draft resolution also
endorses United Nations
Security Council Resolu-
tions 242 and 338, as well as
the UN Declaration of
Human Rights, as the basis
of an overall Mideast peace
settlement.
Any of the 266 board
members may offer changes

to the 26-page resolution at
the May meeting. Any
changes will be considered
by the drafting committee
before the resolution is pre-
sented for final adoption in
November.
The NCC's Human
Rights Committee met
Sunday night and all day
Monday with the 12 na-
tional Jewish organiza-
tions that belong to the
National Jewish Com-
munity Relations Advi-
sory Council (NJCRAC)
to discuss the proposed
resolution as well as the
recent two-week fact-
finding tour of Israel,
Syria, Lebanon, Egypt
and Jordan by the NCC's
Middle East Panel. The
Human Rights Commit-
tee is also scheduled to
meet with Arab-
Americans before the
May board meeting.
Rabbi Marc Tanenbaum,
director of ,the American
Jewish Committee's Inter-
religious Affairs Depart-
ment, told the Jewish Tele-
graphic Agency that he
"hopes" and expects the
NCC governing board to
adopt a resolution in May
that will reject the extreme
viewpoints of both sides of
the Arab-Israeli conflict.
He said if the NCC can
adopt a "comprehensive pol-
icy statement" it may "pre-
clude" the repeated at-
tempts by the Antiochian
Christian Archdiocese of
New York and all North
America "and their allies"
to get the organization
which represents 32 Protes-
tant and Orthodox church
groups to adopt anti-Israel
resolutions.

The present resolution
comes after the Antiochian
church group tried to get a
resolution adopted last No-
vember which accused Is-
rael of violating human
rights. Tanenbaum noted
that the resolution was full
of "sheer lies" and defama-
tion of Israel "and singled
out the Jewish state as 'the
lone violator of human
rights in the Middle East, if
not the world.' "
The NCC last Novem-
ber decided instead of
voting on the Antiochian
resolution to develop a
comprehensive policy
statement on the Mideast.
It also decided to send its
fact-finding mission to
the Mideast. Prior to its
trip, the committee held
hearings in New York
and Washington which
was boycotted by Jewish
organizations, including
reluctantly the AJCom-
mittee, because they con-
sidered that the NCC had
demonstrated a pro-Arab
bias.
Tanenbaum said the
meeting this week helped
restore the relations be-
tween the NCC and the
Jewish groups. He said he
hoped the NCC leaders who
met with Christians. Mos-
lems and Jews in both Israel
and the Arab countries "de-
veloped new insights and
new consciousness which I
hope will serve as important
correctives to some of the
images and distorted views
they have had about the
human rights situation."
He said he hoped the ex-
periences of the visit will re.:
suit in changes in the pro-
posed resolutions which
were drafted before the
Mideast trip. Tanenbaum
said the Jewish groups and
the NCC unit agreed they
would not now discuss pub-
licly what was said at this
week's meetings. He said he
and Rabbi A. James Rudin,
assistant interreligious di-
rector for the AJCommittee,
will be at the Indianapolis
meeting as observers.
The draft resolution that
the NCC board will consider
calls for:
• Cessation of all acts of
violence by all parties;
• Recognition by the
Arab states and by the
Palestinian Arabs of Israel
as a Jewish state with se-
cure, defined and recog-
nized borders;
• Recognition by Israel of
the right of national self-
determination for the
Palestinian Arabs and of
their right to select their
own representatives and to
establish at Palestinian
entity, including a sover-
eign state;
• Agreement on and crea-
tion of a mode of enforce-
ment of international
guarantees for the sover-
eign and secure borders of
Israel and of any Palesti-
nian entity established as
part of the peace process;
• Constructive solutions
to the problems of refugees
and persons displaced as a
result of the Israel
