JERUSALEM BESIEGED

Failure by the United States to veto a UN
ecurity Council resolution that is now judged
immoral and outrageously prejudicial has
laced on the international ledger a memo that
'adorses blackmail.
It is a sad state of affairs that only a handful of
American countries have chosen to retain
eir embassies in Jerusalem.
,For Israel, it is another challenge demanding
rm decisions. For Jews everywhere who share
interest in Jerusalem the Golden, it is an
aditional cause for concern and a time to
1 prengthen the loyalties that provide Israel
4h strength to overcome the menacing blows
irected at her.
The major contestants in the race for
resident are committed to an undivided
erusalem. They are hesitant to totally endorse
le Holy City's status as Israel's seat of gov-
nment. They say they will await the result of
egotiations. The hesitancy could lead to hypoc-
Isy: The established fact is that Israel will not
bandon her spiritual crown. The lack of good
1 .dgment that motivated the recent Knesset
esolution re-affirming an extablished fact
bout Jerusalem's status Alould not have led to

a blackmail act by the UN Security Council, as
long as the U.S. had the power to avert it. But it
has happened and now Israel again is on the
defensive, and when she is in such an unfor-
tunate position she must depend in the main on
Diaspora Jewry for encouragement.
Congressional leaders had the courage to
speak out in rebuke against the U.S. failure to
veto the anti-Israel Jerusalem resolution. The
Jewish organizations have acted unanimously
in their expression of outrage over the most
recent anti-Jewish occurrence at the UN and
the U.S. failure to be consistent in friendship
with Israel. The voice that should have been
heard more resolutely was that of the Christian
community. Jewish administrators of
Jerusalem provide absolute religious freedom
for all in the Holy City and their hands should
have been strengthened. Christian opinion
should be on the side of Israel in this matter.
Most adamantly, the voice of Jewry must be
loud and clear and unhesitant. There can be no
submission to blackmail. Furthermore, conces-
sions on Jerusalem will be followed by demands
to abandon portions of Israel. This must not
happen: This must be prevented.

THE THIRD WORLD DILEMMA

J

Third World influence has affected Israel's
Itatus in the international community and con-
istently hampers peace for Israel. The Arab
nd Soviet blocs keep fomenting hatred for the
ewish state.
Presidential candidate John Anderson is the
nly contender for the highest political post in
his country to have touched on the subject. In
n interview for the New York Times, Anderson
vas asked whether he would "continue the
amp David process or some other approach in
he Middle East," and his reply was:
"I do not take the view that the Camp David
rocess is suffering a terminal illness, which,
rankly, is the conclusion of many people. I don't
ihink the process is in a very healthy state right
row. Let's not try to pretend that the great af-
erglow of Camp David, which resulted in
arch of last year in the Israeli-Egyptian
r eaty, has not now been replaced by a very
lulled feeling of optimism about the success of
he process. It's at the lowest point right now
hat it's been since the accords were reached in
eptember of 1978.
But I'm not yet, you know, pronouncing a
nal benediction on the process. What we have
o do, I think, is to redouble our efforts to
nlarge the talks and get the Saudis and Jorda-
iians and anyone else in the Middle East who
epresents anything resembling moderate Arab
pinion, to try to get them into those talks. I
rankly think that, you know, to continue on the
lual track alone between Israel and Egypt is not
ming to eventually produce what we want, ob.-
' iously, and that is an over-arching, overall set-
lement in the Middle East.
"I would dare to hope — and I'm going to
watch very closely what happens at this 11th

special session Of the UN General Assembly,
which is concerned ; as you know, with trying to
work out some of the economic problems of the
developing countries — that out of the session
could come the kind of agreements with respect
to what the developed world is prepared to do
vis-a-vis the developing world, that maybe we
could, out of the results of this current session of
the UN General Assembly, kind of establish the
basis for rebuilding some confidence in the
Third World that there is some advantage in
cooperating with the West.
"You see, right now, despite the fact that they
have every reason to be angry with OPEC —
because it is OPEC that is plundering their
economies and has left them with a $60 billion
deficit on current account in trying to pay for
their oil — their anger is still against the West,
the industrialized nations of the West. And it
will be the degree to which we can turn this
feeling around in the current session of the
General Assembly, I think, and then maybe
build on that a more secure supply relationship
with the oil-producing countries in exchange for
some feeling on our part that we are going to
reciprocate by making sure that they continue
to enjoy some political stability — speaking now
of the Middle Eastern countries — maybe out of
that can come, you know, a new round of talks in
the Middle East that would tend to settle the
outstanding questions there."

There is a special interest in this comment in
the daring to touch upon an issue involving the
hitherto untouchable Third World. It raises the
question whether the Arab and Soviet blocs can
ever be moved away from a hate pattern and
whether there is hope for an accord with ele-
ments supporting aims to annihilate Israel.

Rembrandt van Rijn was influenced by the Bible. The great
draftsman left a legacy of scores of Bible drawings. Of his" more than
1,400 sketches the largest number was based on Bible themes.

Dover Publications has issued a very impressive collection of
these drawings. There are 60 such drawings chronologically included
in "Rembrandt Bible Drawings."

Themes from both the Old and New Testaments are part of this
notable book of reproductions of the Rembrandt drawings made any-
where from 1630 to 1660.
The many themes in this volume are too numerous to be listed in
their entirety. Among the interesting drawings is this accompanying
one, entitled, "Jacob and Rachel Listening to the Accounts of Joseph's
Dreams." It is dated circa 1638. It is described as a "pen and wash in
bistre, touched with white body color." It is in the original 180 by 163
millimeters, and is in the British Museum in London. -

Art and Bible students will be intrigued by this Dover volume.
