What Happened To Zionist Influence

rankrand-filers. Many wonder
how it came about that the Zion
ist leadership in this country was
not aware that a Senate commit
tee planned to allocate funds for
a study of the Palestine Arab ref
ugee issue until the allocation was
actually voted and announced. The
move, which caught the Zionist
leadership napping, indicated that
the pro-Arab elements in Wash- DANGER SIGNALS
ington have found their way not
only into the State Department,
but also into the Congress. This,
at a time when the impression ex
isted that pro-Israel friendship has
not diminished among the mem
bers of both Houses of Congress,
despite the “new look” policy of
the State Department on Israel.
This gives the key to the appease
ment sentiments now penetrating
even Congress.
The money could have easily
been saved, since a study of the
Arab refugees, available to every
member of the U. S. Senate, was
long ago completed by the United
Nations.
Israel faces five serious dangers

policy of the State Department on
the Arab-Israel issue become a

possibility of withdrawing • its
armed forces from the Suez, as re
quested by Egypt, and to move
them to Jordan, where they would
remain close to the Suez. At pres
ent such a transfer of British for
ces from the Suez to Jordan would
require their passage of Israel ter
ritory in the Negev.
The third possible danger is in
the internationalization of Jeru
salem on which the Arab coun
tries, except Jordan, insist, under
the pretext that there is a decision
of the United Nations to this ef
fect. It seems that the U. S. Gov

with the trend in Washington now
growing more and more pro-Arab,
it is highly important that these
recommendations should not come
as another surprise to American
Zionist leaders. This is no time to
be- caught napping.
What some members of the Sen
ate may consider "compromise”
recommendations for both Israel
and the Arabs, may turn out to
be very detrimental for the Jewish
State. Especially, if they suggest
the repatriation to Israel of a por
tion of the Arab refugees in order
to .appease the Arab rulers who
are being wooed by the State De

Arab refugee problem was allo-

The fifth, and greatest, danger
is the possibility of an American,
