The great Supreme Court Jus- tice Louis Brandeis spoke these insightful words about 70 years ago. They came back to me as I pon- dered with many of you the tragedy of the current con- flict of Iraq and Iran and the role of the United Nations. Here a major Arab nation launches an apparently un- provoked attack on a fellow Muslim nation, threatening in the process to destroy 40 percent of the world's oil supply on which the economies of the entire industrialized world de- pends. That was a clear act of aggression which threatens the peace and se- curity not only of the Middle East but of the interna- tional order. The Iraqi attack violates the fundamental principles and resolutions of the United Nations. Yet look at the muted response of the UN. Yes, a resolution was adopted calling for a cease- fire — it was restrained, even gentle — not a word of threat or sanctions. Can you imagine what polemical upheaval and outrage and UN would have been seized with had Israel, not Iraq, fired a single shot at Iran? Even while Iraq and Iran Tekoah's Plans JERUSALEM (ZINS) =- Israeli political analysts be- lieve Israel's former UN ambassador, Yosef Tekoah, has become involved with the Soviet immigrants to Is- rael to further his political ambitions. Tekoah was elected chairman at a recent convention of Russian im- migrants. They say that Tekoah is seeking a high position on Labor's Knesset list during the next election or he will vie for the chairmanship of the Jewish Agency — World Zionist Organization execu- tives. Also mentioned for the latter post are Chaim Her- zog, Simha Dinitz, Mordecai Gur, Yitzhak Ben-Ahron, Akiva Levinsky and Moshe Rivlin. were busily violating every principle the UN supposedly stands for, Syria — that other great law-abiding nation — had the audacity to call for the expulsion of Israel from the United Nations. The American Constitu- tion's greatness is distin- guished by its insistence on equal protection of the laws, and the Bible — cherished by Muslims as by Jews and Christians — demands "one set of laws for the native and the stranger." As Justice Brandeis implied, if the UN desires respect for interna- tional law, it had better make that law respectable — by applying it equally to everyone — including Arab states. - Judge Is Honored NEW YORK — Marvin E. Frankel, former U.S. Dis- trict Court judge, received the Justice Award of the American Jewish Congress at a dinner last week at the New York Hilton. Judge Frankel was cited for "dis- tinguished contributions to American jurisprudence and a lifetime of dedication to human rights and the creative survival of the Jewish people."
