THE 'DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Arab-Jewish, Diaspora-Israel Accords Chief in AJCommittee's M.E. Programs Priorities for urgent -ac- tion in the Middle East, to which the American Jewish Committee dedicates itself, are creation of the most ur- gent cooperative links be- tween the Diaspora and Is- rael and assurance of the friendliest relations be- tween Jews and Arabs in Is- rael. The manner in which both are being approached was outlined here Monday by Dr. M. Bernard Re- snikoff, director of the American Jewish Commit- tee Israel office. Dr. Resnikoff states that a lack of understanding be- tween American and Israeli communities represents a challenge requiring correc- tion. He emphasized that this condition was not created by the current Lebanese situation, that it has existed in his entire rim ASSETS OF'm 1 •11 ASSOCIATES I FINANCE I ispc.

His feeling is that the Israelis need an appre- ciation of the devotion which has led the Zionist-minded Jewry to leadership in the creation of statehood, while American Jews must have an awareness of the many aspirations in ,Is- rael, the cult)iral- spiritual, the piongering, all based on an ideology that has been insiiired by philanthropy yet is not basically a philanthropy but a life-creating as well as state-protecting idealism. Placing emphasis on re- search constantly con- ducted among Arabs, as well as in the pioneering Is- raeli settlements, Dr. Re- snikoff said serious efforts are being made to assure the friendship that is needed to strengthen the mutual citizenship of the two communities. Recognizing the difficul- ties, the inherited prej- udices based on religion, Dr. Resnikoff nevertheless re- jects fears of a possible Fifth Column arising from the Arab ranks in Israel. He said he was deeply con- vinced that Israel's Arab population knows its living standards are the highest in the world. Except for not being permitted to serve in the Israeli army they have all other privileges in the state. His feeling is, he added, that increased monetary al- locations for Arab educa- tional purposes may be a necessity, but he recognized the Israeli economic diffi- culties which make it very difficult to attain. Dr. Resnikoff said there are four groups in Israel, the American Jewish Committee to- gether with Nes Arnim, the colony of Dutch Christians who have be- come firmly established THANK YOU I wish to thank my dear family, relatives and friends for the many prayers, donations, cards & gifts following my recent surgery.

He ex- pressed hopes'that these will be attained in the course of time. Dr. Resnikoff said, in an interview as well as in an address to the Detroit Chap- ter of the American Jewish Committee, that the Hebrew language quar- terly, Tfutzot Israel, pub- lished in Jerusalem by the Israel AJCommittee office, adds immeasurably towards both aims, of a Diaspora-Israel under- standing and Arab-Jewish amity. He placed much hope for greater AJCommittee aims both in the Diaspora and Is- rael through the recently formed Institute on Ameri- can Jewish-Israel Rela- tions, which is profession- ally directed by Bertram Gold and Selma Hirsh, with Resnikoff as the Israeli par- ticipant.

Capt. Ogen Dadiani, mas- ter of the containership Livorno which is operated by the Zim Lines, reported the rescue by wireless to the company's head office in Haifa. The Livorno, bound from New York to Haifa, was the first ship to answer an SOS call sent out by the Por- tuguese motorship Bandim, a gas tanker. She picked up 21 seamen who had abandoned their vessel. Two others were re- scued by a Panamanian ship. . . Friday, December 11, 1982 19 Funeral Car in Accident BILL MEYER.
