24 Friday, April 29, 1983 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Churba Sees Israel as 'Unaligned' Power NEW YORK (JTA) — The director of the Center for International Security, Joseph Churba, suggested this week that because of the inability of the United States to • offset Soviet ad- venturism in the Middle East, Israel might consider reshifting its policy away from the U.S. and 'become an "unaligned" third power in the Mideast. Israel, Churba told some 100 persons attending a conference on U.S. policy in the Mideast here, should "emerge from its status as an undervalued strategic asset of the United States to that of a third unaligned power" in the region, "shift- ing its weight East or West in accordance with its secu- rity needs." The conference was sponsored by the Sephardic House at Shearith Churba, who worked with President Reagan as an ad- visor on foreign and defense policy during Reagan's presidential campaign, said such a move by Israel would create a "triangle" effect in • which Jerusalem would have to be considered in any moves in the Mideast by either the U.S. or the Soviet Union. He noted that the Is- raeli military is ranked as the fourth best in the world..

In an open letter to Wie-- senthal, who is listed as honorary president of the Holocaust Survivors Asso- ciation, John Ranz accused Kirkpatrick of serving as an "apologist for fascist dic- tatorships engaged in tor- ture and genocidal mass murder" in El Salvador and Guatemala "where entire villages including women and children are being slaughtered."
