move, Nixon observed: "So far, Con-
gressional debate has presented the
view that a vote to move the embassy
is pro-Israel and that a vote against
moving the embassy is anti-Israel.
This puts the issue upside down: the
exact opposite is the truth."
Israel Ambassador Meir
Rosenne warned that the threat of
terrorism and blackmail should not
have any indirect or direct role in
whether any country moves its em-
bassy to Jerusalem.
"We would like to see all embas-
sies in Jerusalem," he told the 42nd
annual meeting of the American
Jewish Press Association (AJPA)
last week in Washington. He stressed
that nothing he said should be inter-
preted as trying to "interfere in the
internal politics" of the United
States.
But his remarks were obviously
aimed at threats that have come fi:orn
Arab and Moslem countries as well
as American opponents of the move,
including State Department officials,
that moving the embassy could harm
U.S. interests in the Middle East.
"What is at stake now is not
whether a certain embassy should be
in Jerusalem or not," Rosenne said.
"What is at stake here is to know to
what extent blackmail and threats of
terrorist acts should be an element in
the determination of foreign policy.
When I see the number of letters and
threats and statements made by
different governments and the pres-
sure being applied against any sov-
ereign decision of an independent or-
gan, this is what concerns us most."
The Israeli envoy also warned
that it would be "extremely
detrimental" for the United States

and Israel to engage in either a public
or private debate whether one of the
two countries is responsible for the
situation in Lebanon. "We should
never forget who is the bad guy," he
said.
Rosenne- explained that the situ-
ation in Lebanon is due to Syria oc-
cupying 60 percent of the country and
"refusing to withdraw," to the Soviet
Union supplying arms to the Syrians
and stationing 6,000 advisers in
Syria and to the USSR supporting
terrorists and others opposed to a
peaceful settlement.
Nothing would "please" the
Arabs more than to have the United
States and Israel negotiate about the
Middle East while the Arabs sit on
the sidelines, Rosenne said. He said
peace will only come if there are
negotiations without pre-conditions.
He said this is why Israel opposed the
Rogers plan in the 1970s and the
1982 Reagan peace initiative.

Hungary marks Nazi tragedy

- Budapest (JTA) —Jewish
leaders from abroad, includ-
ing an Israeli delegation,
and the Jewish community
of Hungary last month
commemorated the 40th
anniversary of the deporta-
tion of more than 600,000
Hungarian Jews by the
Nazis. The commemoration
was also. attended by Hun-
garian government offi-
cials.
According to the World
Jewish Congress, whose af-
filiate here is the Central
Board of Hungarian Jews
which organized the event,
the occasion was notable for
a number of firsts:
Despite the fact that
Huhgary does not maintain
diplomatic relations with
Israel, a delegation of Is-
raelis of Hungarian origin
took part in the ceremonies
and, following the interven-
tion of the WJC, the Hunga-
rian authorities authorized
an Israeli television crew to
cover the commemoration.

Further, the Hungarian
government has given per-
mission for a team of histo-
rians to take part in a con-
ference in Israel, scheduled
for July 9-11, on the depor-
tation of the Jews of Hun-
gary.
Israel Singer, the WJC's
executive director, reported
that also participating were
Jewish delegations from
East Europe, including two
representatives from the
Soviet Union, Boris
Gramm, president of the

Moscow Synagogue, and
Arkadi Levitan, president
of the Odessa Synagogue.
During the memorial
service in the Kosma Utca
Jewish cemetery, Rabbi
Sandor Scheiber, director of
the Hungarian Rabbinical
Assembly, eulogized the
memory of the Jewish mar-
tyrs. Rabbi Arthur Schneier
of New York, chairman of
the WJC-American Section,
told the gathering that
"never again will we remain
silent."

Arens rules out Lebanon moves

Jerusalem (JTA) — De-
fense Minister Moshe Arens
has ruled out another rede-
ployment of the Israel De-
fense Force in south Leba-
non.
Arens told the Knesset's
Foreign Affairs and Secu-
rity Committee last week
that a move to new lines
would not reduce the-

number of attacks on Israeli
soldiers. According to
Arens,. the security aspect
in south Lebanon has im-
proved because the local
residents, including the
Shiite Moslems, realize that
the IDF's presence "is not so
temporary" and are there-
fore more willing to enter
into dialogue.
