PASSOVER
Washington (JTA) —
Saudi Arabia's Ambassador
to the United States has
warned against moves in
Congress to relocate. the
American Embassy in Is-
rael from Tel Aviv to
Jerusalem. In an appear-
ance before the Washington
Press Club last week, Pr-
ince Bandar Bin-Sultan
also warned that if the
United States refuses to sell
weapons to Arab countries
they will purchase their
arms in the Soviet Union,
England or France.
Calling on the United
States to play a more even-
handed role in the Middle
East, Bandar said, "We be-
lieve strongly that no
change should be done in
the Jerusalem situation"
until the status of the city is
settled by negotiations.
Moving the embassy at this
time, he said, "will pro-
foundly affect one billion
Moslems around the world
like you have never seen it
before."

Visiting Israeli
prof praises
SUNY report
New York (JTA) — Sel-
wyn Troen, the visiting Is-
raeli professor whose letter
last summer to colleagues
at the State University of
New York at Stony Brook
triggered the months-long
controversy over the teach-
ings in a course that likened
Zionism to racism and
Nazism, has praised the re-
cently issued report by a
special university commis-
sion which proposes a
framework for dealing with
conflicts of academic free-
dom and academic respon-
sibility at the Long Island
school.
Describing the report by
"The Commission on Fa-
culty Rights and Respon-
sibilities," headed by Nobel
Laureate C. N. Yang, as a
"classic statement on aca-
demic freedom and aca-
demic responsibility,"
Troen said here that "had
this report been in place
when my complaint was is-
sued, there would have been
no need for the accusations
which followed."
Some of the accusations,
Troen said in an interview,
were the development of
what he initially said he in-
terpreted as a clear cut de-
bate on academic freedom
and academic responsibility
but which derailed into a
debate between an Israeli
professor, (Troen) and a
Black South African-born
professor of psychology, Er-
nest Dube, who was accused
by a student of teaching
that Zionism is as much a
form of racism as Nazism.
,
especially critical of the
United States for the with-
drawal of a proposed -sale of
missiles to Saudi Arabia
and Jordan last month
under what he claimed was
pressure from Israel's sup-
porters in Congress. He said
this spotlighted "a very
dangerous trend."
He noted that U.S. trade
with Arab nations totaled
$13 billion a year, creating
some 600,000 jobs. "The Is-
raelis are doing their best to
drive us out of the American
market, particularly in
weapons," Bandar said. "We
are determined to defend
ourselves, and we will get
those weapons anywhere."
He asked if Israeli security
and U.S. interests would be
served if the Arabs took
their arms business
elsewhere.
Bandar said that there is
a perception among Arabs
that the United States
applies two standards, "one
for the Palestinians and the
other for the rest of the
world" and that whenever
an American President
tries to be evenhanded in
the Mideast "the Israelis
jump on him."
He said that U.S. rela-
tions with the Arabs were
not "at a high peak at this
time," and added: "You've
got to stop looking at us as
just oil and dollars and look
at us as human beings."

Crockett states opposition
to moving U.S. Embassy
Washington — Con-
gressman George W. Croc-
kett Jr. (D-Detroit), a
member of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee,
has announced that he will
vote against any proposal
that seeks to relocate the
United States Embassy in
Israel to the city of
Jerusalem.
"Moving the U.S. Em-
bassy from Tel Aviv to the
city of Jerusalem not only
would violate our interna-
tional commitments, it will
further exacerbate our rela-
tions with the Arab world,"
Crockett said. "Congress
should concentrate its
energies on reducing ten-
sion in the Middle East by
calling for a U.S. policy
which encourages negotia-
tions and peace rather than
tension and confrontation
— which is exactly what
this proposal will do if it
passes."
Crockett said he supports
United Nations Resolution
181 of Nov. 29, 1947, "which
the United States has con-
sistently supported" and
which recommends that
Jerusalem be administered
as a separate international
entity by a trusteeship
council.
Crockett said that "recent
violent attacks on
Jerusalem's Muslim and
Christian holy places show
the wisdom of giving
Jerusalem this unique in-
ternational and inter-
denominational status,"
and noted that the Na-
tional Council of Churches
and the U.S. Catholic Con-
ference as well as the U.S.
State Department also op-
pose the embassy move.
NJCRAC asks unbiased aid
New York (JTA) — The
National Jewish Commu-
nity Relations Advisory
Council (NJCRAC) has
urged the Reagan Adminis-
tration "to support
humanitarian emergency
relief as a matter of urgency
and without regard to the
political ideologies of the-re-
cipient countries."
"To do so may prevent a
disaster of major propor-
tions from occurring in Af-
rica," the NJCRAC said in a
letter to Secretary of State
George Shultz. The letter
was signed by Donald Lef-
ton, NCJRAC international
commission chairman,
Robert Schrayer, chairman
of the NJCRAC committee
on Ethiopian Jews, and
Jacqueline Levine,
NCJRAC chairperson.
NCJRAC noted the sever-
ity of the current drought
afflicting more than 150
million people in some 24
countries in Africa. One of
the countries- affected is
Ethiopia with a Jewish
population estimated at
20,000 persons, the letter
said, adding that this is the
second year of the drought
and "food stocks are ex-
pected to be exhausted be-
fore new harvests become
available." •
Ethiopia is ranked fourth
among the countries most
severely hurt by the
drought, and NJCRAC's
appeal to Shultz to supply
relief aid to countries
"witho'ut regard" to the
countries' "political
ideologies" appears to be an
indirect appeal for aid to
Ethiopia. United Nations
officials estimate that 50 to
100 children are dying daily
in northern Ethiopia as a
result of the drought.
