tion," she said. "We feel it is
unfortunate that it has been
rescinded."
Ms. Macki called the
repeal "untimely," coming
in the midst of current peace
talks. "It sends the wrong
message in light of the in-
flux of Jewish settlers and
settlements on the occupied
West Bank," she said. "It is
blatant apartheid and a
double standard."
None of the Arab nations,
not Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Leb-
anon, Libya, Saudi Arabia,
Syria and United Arab
Emirates, (some of whom
have delegations in Wash-
ington to discuss peace with
Israel), voted for Monday's
resolution. Egypt, which
recognizes Israel, did not
take part in the voting.
A statement issued by the
Arab Republic of Egypt said,
"Egypt believes that it is
necessary to create a
favorable climate for the
success of the peace process
which requires refraining
from taking any action that
hinders this process."
The statement also said
Egypt views Israel's prac-
tices in the territories as
constituting a violation of
international law, the Four-
th Geneva Convention and
Security Council Resolution
681.
A spokesman for the
Palestine Liberation Organ-
ization mission at the U.N.
said the Arab League voted
against the resolution be-
cause "Israel has not chang-
ed its policy on the ground."
"This is the wrong time for
this sort of change," the
spokesman said, "Israel still
discriminates against the
Palestinian people. This
gives the Israelis incentive
to keep to their hard-line
position."
David Gad-Harf, executive
director of the Jewish Com-
munity Council of
Metropolitan Detroit, said
the Arab vote did not come
as a surprise. "That the
Arabs voted against the
resolution demonstrates
their continued hostility
toward Israel," he said.
"What is pleasing, however,
is seeing so many African
and East European nations
voting to repeal. This goes to
show just how baseless the
original resolution was."
Robert Brown, president of
the American Jewish Con-
gress in Detroit, said the
repeal of Resolution 3379
demonstrates a new reality
in world order. "Although it
doesn't erase past resolu-
tions against Israel, this
repeal can assist the U.N. in
acting as a more legitimate
broker." ❑
