MRS. LAURA NUSBAUM JEWISH FINANCING OF THE UN: Jews in the United States — estimated to number about 6,000,000 — are contributing to the United Nations for its regular budget and its specialized taxes, without even being aware of it. The contribution of U.S. Jewry is many times the sum which oil-rich Saudi Arabia pays as its yearly allocation to the UN budget. Until last year, Saudi Arabia paid the UN $1,095,000 annually. The budget of the United Nations is based on contribu- tions from its member states. The allocations are fixed by the UN General Assembly which opened its 36th session in New York this week with several anti-Israel items on the agenda and with the ambition of the Arab delegations to seek the ousting of Israel from the world organization, with the help of the Soviet Union. The United States is providing 25 percent of the UN budget. Official data now available for the year 1974-1975 reveals that the per capita contribution of every man, woman and child in this country was $1.96 that year. The Saudi assessment, as fixed by the UN General Assembly, came to 0.23 percent. Incredible as this may seem, the assessment for Israel was identical. How any UN body could estimate that the income of Saudi Arabia and Israel were identical is beyond belief. The assessments were revised slightly for 1981-1982 with Saudi Arabia increased to 0.58 percent, which makes the payment of the richest Arab oil country to the UN upkeep somewhat over one-half of the one percent of the budget. Other Arab oil countries, including Libya, Kuwait, Iraq, contribute smaller sums than Israel. NOXIOUS UN PROGRAMS: Some influential ele- ments in the United States — including the financial publi- cation "Business Week" — suggest that President Reagan, in looking for places to cut the U.S. budget, should reduce the allocation to the UN budget which runs in the hundreds of millions of dollars, especially since the U.S. has become "the principal target of insults" at the UN. Jewish organizations consider the UN generally to be a tool of the Arab-Soviet bloc. They are especially incensed by the poisonous anti-Israel actions of UNESCO — the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization; by the "UN Decade of Women" which started in 1976 and will continue until 1985; and by other UN agencies strongly under the influence of the Arab-Soviet-Third World bloc; not to speak of the anti-Israel resolutions adopted during the last six months of this year by the Security Council against U.S. opposition. The Anti-Defamation League of Bnai Brith called upon Reagan and Congress to withhold all financial sup- port from UNESCO so long as this UN body remains "a tool of Soviet diplomacy and of Arab efforts to destroy Israel." UNESCO is also charged with subverting worldwide free- dom of the press and of supporting the Islamic State Broad- casting Association which disseminates blatantly anti- Semitic programs. The American Jewish Committee issued a warning to community leaders that the UNESCO World Heritage Committee is attempting to deny Israel sovereignty over Jerusalem and that it has promoted an extraordinary ses- sion for this month in order to have Jordan nominate the Old City of Jerusalem as part of "the cultural heritage of mankind meriting protection and conservation." Approval of Jordan as a nominee for Jerusalem's Old City is, in effect, to deny that this is Israeli territory, the AJCommittee pointed out. The American Jewish Congress has praised the efforts in the House of Representatives to eliminate a grant of $500,000 to the UN "Decade of Women. " which at a confer ence in Copenhagen identified Zionism with racism, against the opposition of the American delegation at the conference. The House Appropriations Sub-Committee voted unanimously to eliminate the $500,000 appropria- tion and to transfer the funds to programs for assisting poor women in developing countries, carried out by the Agency for International Development.
