Omits Zionism Attack
Nairobi, Kenya (JTA) — The
United Nations End of the De-
cade Women's Conference
adopted a consensus final docu-
ment on strategies for women to
the year 2000 which, after days
of acrimonious debate, wrangl-
ing, and anti-Israel and anti-
Zionist rhetoric, was free of any
explicit reference to Zionism as a
form of racism.
This was clearly a victory for
Israel and Western democracies
which had indicated that they
would not vote for or agree to
any document which included
the formula equating Zionism
with racism.
Beverly Davis, president of the
B'nai B'rith International, a
delegate to the conference, said
that if Zionism had been at-
tacked in the final version of the
consensus document, the Ameri-
can Jewish delegation was pre-
pared to walk out of the gather-
ing.
A key role in the wording of
the final consensus document
was played by the Kenyan dele-
gation. Acting as peacemaker
and negotiator in an effort to
safeguard the consensus when
the issue of including Zionism
nearly divided the conference
and endangered the possibility of
consensus statement, the Ke-
nyan delegation appealed to the
African delegates, the Kenyan
delegation appealed to the Afri-
can delegates, in a special meet,
ing called during a recess in the
last hours of the conference Fri-
day, to mediate with Arab dele-
gations for the benefit and good
of the conference in developing
forward-looking strategies for
women worldwide.
When the session reconvened,
the Kenyan delegation urged an
amendment to the proposed
document that deleted the word
Zionism from the text of Para-
graph 95 that compared it to
apartheid, racism, imperialism
and colonialism. Instead, the
phrase "and all other forms of
racism" was inserted.
The first to respond to the
amendment was the Soviet dele-
gation, saying it would accept
the new wording on the basis of
consensus, not vote. As consen-
sus began to gather momentum
the Palestine Liberation Organ-
ization delegates said they, too,
were willing to accept the word-
ing although they would have
preferred the original text with
its outright condemnation of
Zionism.
Subsequent delegations to
take part in the discussion
praised the PLO for its "mag-
nanimity" and for its "states-
manship." When the amendment
was finally adopted it was clear
that it had been accepted on the
merit of its implicit condetnna-
tion of Zionism, as many dele-
gates assumed that the phrase,
"and all other forms of racism,"
alluded to Zionism, Not until the
amendment was adopted did the
conference president, 'Margaret
Kenyatta, recognize Alan Keyes,
the only male on the 33-member
U.S. delegation.
Keyes, in a forceful statement,
said that "no amount of -repeti-
,qq ,anquAt, p(igll..repd er
that slanderous lie (Zionism is
racism) truthful." He was
greeted with fierce booing from
the floor.
Following the debate on the
issue of Zionism in the docu-
ment, the conference adopted
paragraphs dealing with ter-
rorism, apatheid, and Palesti-
nian women and children. The
U.S. was alone in voting not to
impose economic sanctions on
South Africa.
A recommendation to adopt
the proposed text that assessed
the plight of Palestinian women
and children and that declared
Detroiter Edwina
Davis found a lot of
anti-Americanism
and anti-Israelism
at the conference.
that the Palestinian people have
a right to create their own state,
was proposed by Egypt in a con-
ciliatory gesture to those dele-
gates who earlier had voted for
the amendment on Zionism.
During the vote on this seg-
ment of the document, 97 of the
150 delegations favored adopting
the harsher position, 29 delega-
tions, mainly Western nations,
abstained, and Israel, Australia
and the U.S. voted for the more
moderate 'position.
The final piece of business
conducted just before the confer-
ence ended, was ascertaining full
agreement from each delegation
to sign the document, a feat at
any U.N. conference, historic at
this one.
The Israeli delegation ex-
pressed relief and jubilation that
Zionism does not appear in any
part of the • forward-looking
strategies, delegate Tamar Eshel
said.
However, Detroiter Edwina
Davis, coordinator of the Jewish
Educational Loan Service, said
she found a lot of anti-
Americanism and anti-Israelism
at the conference.
According to Ms. Davis, who
attended as part of the American
Jewish Committee delegation, a
non-governmental organization,
the nti-Israelism came about
vocally, in literature and in
films.
She said she found the confer-
ence educational but futile, add-
ing that ,many instances
people ::iliitn'tqititen to what
others had to say. She said she
left these "confrontational"
workshops f'6r others dealing
specifically with' women's ques-
tions, such ali'sVoinen and work.
Media reiporta 'in the U.S. re-
lating to the' conference were
mostly accurate, ,she said. She
added, hiAieirer,. the media
pickid up "the sensational *stuff.
There were: a...1ot of important
things going an there that they
