Anti-Israel UN Forces
Gain Little Ground
.
United Nations (JTA) — Ef-
forts to isolate and defame Is-
rael in last year's General As-
sembly were not successful.
This was indicated by the fact
that there was only a slight in-
crease — about five percent —
in support for anti-Israel reso-
lutions.
According to a survey by the
> Israel Mission to the UN, while
54 percent of the 153-member
assembly supported anti-Israel
resolutions in 1985 such reso-
lutions last year garnered 59
percent.
Eyal Arad, Israel's UN
spokesman, pointed out how-
ever that many of the resolu-
tions in the 1986 assembly
were "watered-down" versions
of the same resolutions of 1985
and that some of these resolu-
tions did not mention Israel by
name.
A case in point Arad said was
the resolution calling for con-
vening of an "international
conference" to solve the Middle
East crisis. "Many countries
which last year either
abstained or voted against the
`international conference'
voted in favor of it this year"
Arad observed. "The watered-
down version of the resolution
this year, which did not even
mention Israel by name, essen-
tially neutralized the anti-
Israel bias which was con-
tained in last year's version.
Consequently, many countries
voted in favor of it."
_ The vote in 1986 on conven-
ing an international peace con-
ference was 123-3 with 19
abstentions. 1985's vote was
107-3 with 19 abstentions.
Another reason for the slight
increase in support for anti-
Israel resolutions, according to
> Arad, was that many of the
countries which did not par-
ticipate in last year's votings
— and were therefore consid-
ered as supporting Israel —
were successfully mobilized to
vote against Israel this year.
Arad noted that there were
24 anti-Israel resolutions in
the just-concluded General As-
sembly, about the same as
1985. The resolutions attacked
Israel on a range of issues, for
its alleged ties to South Africa
and its alleged nuclear
capabilities to the issues of
Palestinian refugees, the occu-
pied territories, the Mideast
conflict and human rights.
The survey showed that
Western bloc countries contin-
ued to record the highest level
of support of Israel by casting
\- negative votes on anti-Israel
resolutions. They voted
against 71 percent of the reso-
lutions this year compared
with 73 percent the previous
year.
There was a decline of one
percent from 58 in 1985 to 57 in
1986 in the voting against
anti-Israel resolutions by Cen-
tral American countries and a
decline from 31 percent in 1985
to 27 percent in 1986 by South
American countries.
The survey pointed out that
\ the United States continued to
record the highest level of sup-
port of Israel by an individual
country supporting the Jewish
State by 96 percent of the
votes. The lowest level of sup-
port of Israel at four percent,
was shared by Sri Lanka,
Ghana, Botswana, and
Guinea.
Describing the 41st General
Assembly as "boring" and "un-
eventful," diplomats and ob-
servers noted that the Arab-
Israeli conflict was put on the
back burners last year. One
reason, they said, was that the
financial crisis of the UN over-
shadowed preoccupation with
Israel. Another reason, they
explained, was that the Arabs
themselves realized that their
extreme anti-Israel rhetoric
and resolutions only cost them
support and sympathy.
Reincarnation
No Excuse
Tel Aviv (JTA) — A Druze
soldier, Mohammed Zayed
Salem, was sentenced to three
years' imprisonment for deser-
tion by a military court which
refused to accept reincarnation
as an explanation for his eight
years' absence from the Israel
Defense Force.
Salem, who lives in Shaft-
Am village in Galilee, is a be-
liever in the transmigration of
souls, a tenet of the Druze reli-
gion. He told the court that he
had been a Syrian soldier in a
previous incarnation and was
crushed by an Israeli tank. In
his present existence he has a
deadly fear of tanks and skip-
ped from the IDF for that rea-
son.
The Druze are the only
minority in Israel allowed to
serve in the IDF. They are con-
sidered brave fighters, partly
because their faith teaches
that upon death, the soul takes
residence in the body of a
new-born infant. Even though
death is a family tragedy, it is
considered only a way station
in a series of existences.
Iran Condemns
Wiesel's Prize
Oslo (JTA) — The Embassy
of the Islamic Republic of Iran
in Norway released a state-
ment condemning the Nobel
Peace Committee for its "his-
toric mistake" in awarding its
prize to Elie Wiesel, the World
Jewish. Congress reported
here.
The Embassy released "an
official statement" which said:
"The Embassy of . the Islamic
Republic • of Iran, while ex-
pressing 'deep regret,' con-
demns this historic mistake of
the Norwegian Nobel Peace
Committee and hereby de-
mands to know how a man who
supports the racist .regime
which has usurped and occu-
pied Palestine can be the win-
ner of the Nobel Peace Prize?"
