United Nations (JrA) — Bowing
to pressure from non-aligned na-
tions, the U.N. Security Council
has issued a statement that con-
demns recent terrorist bombings
but refuses to acknowledge that
they were targeted at Jewish and
Israeli institutions.
The statement, read by Secu-
rity Council President Jamsheed
Marker of Pakistan, followed a
meeting where Argentine For-
eign Minister Guido Di Tella re-
ported on the July 18 bombing of
the building housing Argentina's
Jewish communal institutions.
More than 100 people were
killed in the blast.
The informal consultation was
called by Argentina and by Great
Britain. Two car bombs in Lon-
don damaged the Israeli Em-
bassy and a Jewish fund-raising
organization, injuring nearly two
dozens individuals.
A draft statement circulated
early last week specifically men-
tioned the Israelite Association
for Mutual Assistance in Buenos
Aires and the Israeli Embassy in
London as the targets, and ex-
pressed solidarity with the vic-
tims of the attacks.
But as approved by consensus
last week, the statement ex-
pressed "sympathy and condo-
lences to the victims and their
families," as well as to the people
and governments of Argentina
and of the United Kingdom. Jews
and Israel are not mentioned.
This bowdlerization of the
statement came at the behest of
the non-aligned states, repre-
sented in the Security Council by
Pakistan, according to U.N.
sources.
Pakistan was criticized by
Amnesty International for harsh
and arbitrary imposition of its
new Islamic blasphemy laws,
which call for the death penal-
ty•
In its statement on the recent
bombings, the Security Council
demanded "an immediate end to
all such terrorist attacks," and
stressed "the need to strengthen
international cooperation in or-
der to take full and effective mea-
sures to prevent, combat and
eliminate all forms of terrorism,
which affect the international
community as whole."
Israeli, American and Argen-
tine officials have accused Iran of
sponsoring these terror attacks.
Teheran has denied involve-
ment.
In a meeting with his Israeli
counterpart, Emilio Cardenas,
Argentina's ambassador to the
United Nations, said that as the
investigation of the July 18 at-
tack continued, his country would
seek a formal Security Council
resolution condemning the blast
and those responsible.
The Israeli ambassador, Gad
Ya'acobi, meanwhile, expressed
disappointment at "the deletion
of the explicit reminder that the
terror activities in Buenos Aires
and in London were aimed
against Jewish targets, Jewish
communities, and the Embassy
of Israel in London.
"This language is an escape by
those who are not ready to fight
aggressively against this inter-
national threat to stability and
peace," he said. "The deletion of
the references to the targets is
unfair, and it causes damage to
the moral position and standing
of the Security Council on other
matters."
Rabbi Marvin Hier, dean of the
Simon Wiesenthal Center, issued
a statement condemning the Se-
curity Council for refusing to
identify Jews as the principal tar-
gets of the recent attacks.
Orthodox Riot
At Excavation
Tel Aviv (JTA) — Israeli police
arrested some 25 fervently Or
thodox Jews in the Jaffa quarter
of Tel Aviv this week after a
demonstration against archaeo-
logical excavations turned into a
riot.
The demonstration involving
more than 100 people turned vi-
olent when protesters began at-
tacking the police.
Some of the protesters also
overturned a jeep belonging to
the Antiquities Authority.
Most of those arrested were re-
leased by that evening, but a few
were held in custody for further
The manager of the site, Yos-
si Levy, said the demonstration
will not stop work on the dig.
Religious groups frequently
have held protests at archaeo-
logical sites in recent months,
claiming that the remains being
dug up were those of Jews.
But archaeologists at the Jaf-
fa site say the graves being in-
vestigated are those of Muslims
and Christians dating back to the
Byzantine period.
A yeshiva student was arrest-
ed two weeks ago for allegedly
stealing bones from the site after
tying up and beating a guard.
The excavations are being car-
ried out prior to the construction
of several hundred new apart-
ment buildings in Jaffa.
Archaeologists are concerned
that the construction will destroy
