Grenades exploded at the entrances to two mosques in Hebron, injuring an Arab worker at one of them. The attacks were similar to the earlier ones which the police are investigating without having made any arrests. A grenade exploded last week at the home of former Mayor Rashad A-Shawa, who was deposed by the Is- raeli authorities for alleged pro-Palestine Liberation Organization sympathies, attributed the attack to Arab extremists. THE UNESCO CASE: The assertive step made by the U.S. government in formally announcing its withdrawal by the end of this year from UNESCO — United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization — may open new avenues of thought among many of the member- states which comprise the United Nations. UNESCO has during the last years become a conspicuous instrument in the cold war conducted in the UN against the United States and against Israel. A year's notice of withdrawal is re- quired in the UN system. Leading American Jewish organizations, as well as non-Jewish groups in the country — including a group of prestigious scholars professionally concerned with interna- tional affairs — have long been demanding a readjustment of the U.S. policy with regard to the UN. Gone are the years when UNESCO firmly committed its member-states to support human rights. It is now ad- vocating a policy of "collective rights" that takes priority over "individual rights." In simple language — a Soviet- style policy of denying human rights to individuals. Gone are also the years when UNESCO published booklets on Jewish history and sociology showing that Jews lived in Palestine for many centuries and contradicting Arab and Soviet propaganda against Israel. In a foreword to a booklet, "Jewith Thought as a Factor in Civilization," by Prof. Leon Roth — which UNESCO ordered and published in 1954 — the agency explains that in soliciting this work it sought: "firstly, to refute the ac- cusation of racism often leveled against Jews, by underlin- ing what, in Judaism is the very negation of racial exclusivism; and secondly, to record the extent of the debt humanity owes to Judaism." No longer does UNESCO make such pronouncements. The spirit of "Zionism is Racism" is today a dominant factor in the agency's policy. Determined to resist the perverse use of the United Nations by the Soviet-Arab-Third World bloc as an arena for attack against the United States as well as against Israel, Congress has already reduced American funds for two UN agencies. The Senate has also, by a vote of 66 to 23, recommended withholding a fourth of America's annual dues to the United Nations. The recommendation needs only concurrence on the part of the House. Leading Jewish organizations are at present in- terested also in the activity on the UN Decade for Women which has been used as a vehicle for anti-Israel expression. Legislation is now pending in Congress directing the President to use "every available means" to ensure that the decade's final 1985 conference is not dominated by ex- traneous political issues. It also requires the Secretary of State to report to Congress on the nature of preparations for the conference, and their effect on continued U.S. support and participation in the conference.
