The resolution apparently called upon Israel to overlook Egypt’s missile deployment and to return for Jarring talks. These were obtrusely begun 90 days ago under the strange arrangements of Jarring as an intermediary, but the two principals expressing views without being in the same room —or meeting each other forth rightly. After a few hours of such hanky-panky, the Israeli ohief of negotiations had returned to Jerusalem for instructions. He never returned because of the unfurling of activity On Egypt’s part for deploying missiles. The possibility was at first doubted, seemingly by the United States, but after visual proof in photographs taken by the U. S. as well as by Israel the State Department called upon Eypt to halt this violation of the Cease-Fire Agreement. What took place was a blatant revelation of Russia’s all-out ef forts to secure wholesale dom ination of the area. In the United Nations vote, the resolutidn was overwhelm ingly passed by the Arab block. ThC United States and Israel voted against the measure. Both Egypt, Israel and Jor dan had previously expressed desires for the extension, but with specific qualifications. It was not immediately clear if these strings-attached would be satisfactory to opposing views. Left-Wing With Pro NEW YORK (JTA)—A group of fifty black Americans lashed out at U. S. support of Israel and expressed their solidarity with their “Palestinian brothers and sisters.’ Many of them, sup porters, sympathizers arid well known activists in the left-wing movement, demanded “that all military aid or assistance of any kind to Israel must stop. Imper ialism and Zionism must and will get out of the Middle East. We call for Afro-American soli darity with the Palestinian peo ple’s struggle tor national lib eration and to regain all of their stolen land.” A number of signatories were* identified as members of the Socialist Workers Party, a Blacks Shock Country ■Arab Declaration Viewing the Chagall Synagogue «t the HUaaaah-Hebrew University Medical Center last week la Jerusalem were these Georgians: UJ3.

Trotskyist organization which expresses the most virulent anti- Zionist, anti-Israel views in the left-wipg movement Several other signatories are leaders in the civil rights movement, in cluding Phil Hutchings, former chairman of tbe Student Non- Violent Coordinating Committee • (SNCC); the Rev. Albert Clea- gue of Detroit; Robert Williams, who returned recently from sev eral years of exile in Cuba and China after fleeing his home in Monroe, N. C., where he was involved in organizing the self defense of the black commun ity there; Florence R. Kennedy, a New York attorney; and Flor ence Beal, a leader of the Third Wcrld Women’s Alliance. The venomous attack on Is rael and Zionism by the group which calls itself "Committee of Black Americans for Truth About the Middle East,” appear ed in a half-page advertisement in the New York Times. The statement expressed solidarity with the three major Arab guer rilla groups and singled out an anti-Zionist group within Israel as proof that anti-Ziohism exists even among Jews. The group singled out is the Israeli Social ist Organization, popularly abroad as “Matzpen” (Compass). This particular group calls for the dismantling of the Israeli state and hews to the line of the Democratic Pop ular Front for the Liberation of Palesine which is led by Dr. Nayef Hawetmeh. In recent months one of the leaders of Matzpen, Arie Bober ,an Israeli, has been touring the United States under the sponsorship of a group whose list of sponsors include Noam Chomsky and whose secretary is Berta Lang ston, a member of the Socialist Workers Party, The Committee of Black Americans stated that they are not anti-Jewish. “We are anti-Zionist and against the Zionist State of Israel, the out post of American imperialism in the Middle East,” they de clared. “Zionism is a reactionary racist ideology that justifies the expulsion of the Palestinian people from their homes and lands, and attempts to enlist the Jewish masses of Israel and elsewhere in the service of im perialism to -hold back the Mid dle East revolution.” The signatories also claimed that it is the United States which is responsible for: “tbe slaughter of Palestinian refugees and free dom fighters because of its fi nancial and moral support of the Hussein government during the recent Jordanian civil > war. “America’s support for King Hussein is consistent with its sup port of reactionary dictatorships throughout the world,” .they contended. ; *, ST. LOUIS (JTA)—A leading Negro newspaper man warned here Saturday night that while black Americans are general sympathetic to Israel, a “rising tide of pro-Arab feeling” rooted in a variety of causes, is be coming increasingly evident amongsegments of black mili tants, intellectuals and persons living in the inner cities. How ard B. Woods, editor and pub lisher of the St. Louis Sentinel, presented this analysis i-of the division at black opinion on the Middle East conflict to a con ference of «local Jewish com munal and student leaders con vened here by the B”nai B’rith lational Council, god the Kkw Council at St. Louis. The “pop ular pattern” of most Mack mil itants, Mr. Woods said, “is to be anti-establishment Since they view the establishment as being pro-Israel, they feel they must be pro-Arab.” Mr. Woods said that anti-Israel feelings among black people in under developed urban areas possibly be attributed to “lo dormant attitude* on domestic conditions rather than being based on international situa tions” Mr. Woods, who was part of a group of ten publishers of Negro newspapers that toured Israel on a ten-day study mis sion last year, said that “great masses" of black people have “an affinity and warmth for the land” of Israel as “the seat of Christianity. But, Mr. Woods added, this feeling “does not necessarily spin off to include the Israeli people and their objectives." He said that some blacks feel the United Tub to page 4 FLQ-Front De Liberation Du Quebec-Is Racist Group With Anti-Jewish, Anti-Italian Overtones Canadian News Letter By MICHAEL M. SOLOMON The unprecedented kidnap pings of British Trade Commis sioner James R. Cross in Mon treal, October 5 and of Quebec Labor Minister Pierre Laporte a week later by two separate cells of the militant underground Front de Liberation 4u Quebec had stunned and profoundly angered Canadian Jews from coast to coast. The subsequent awesome dis covery of Pierre Laporte’s tort- wed body in the trunk of an abandoned car, the same in Which he had been abducted a week before, aroused the unani mous feeling of horror and re-, vulsion across all sections of the Canadian Jewish community. Laporte was murdered after be ing kidnapped by the FLQ for alleged “arrogance shown in ne gotiations for the release of 23 members of the organization, by the Quebec valet of Ottawa, Quebec premier Robert Bour- assa.” The FLQ’s dealings are no novelty for the Quebec Jearn They have ttyed through the 1962 null-box bombing* in the rich Westmonnt suburb at Mon treal where rich English, French and Jewish businessmen live in grand style and they leaked upon the bombings as a matter of no particular concern for the Jewish community as a whole. More over, a good segment of the Jewish leftist intellectuals and Jewish student body looked apo* the FLQ’s exploits then as aamafking meant “to give a bit of a shake up to the too apathe tic fat oats of Westmonnt ” This time, alas, the situation looks totally different. The kid nappings and the grim murder of Pierre Laporte have funda mentally changed the old judge ment. Appalled by the savagery of the cold blooded execution of the Quebec Minister of Labor, Canadian Jews have received a shock when learning that the FLQ is “a racist organization with anti-Jewish and anti-Italian overtones.” This characterization of the FLQ was made in the House of Commons in Ottawa during the debate on the war measures act decreed by the Tru deau government by no one else • but the Federal Minister of Reg ional Development, • French- Canadian and the Prime Minis ter’s first lieutenant, Joan Marchand. Replying to an attack by. Mr. David Lewis, NDP leader and member of the House who is Jewish, who criticized the gov ernment for imposing war meas ures in peacetime, Mr. March and said that: “The FLQ is a racist organization directed against Jews and Italians in par ticular.” Mr. Marchand repeated the statement on television and radio afterwards. According to the Hansard, (the official record ing of the House of.Commons debates), Mr. Lewi* remained silent after hearing Mr. March- anti’s statement It is interesting to note that the Minishter of regional development had been for many yarns the leader of Quebec’s trade unions. Canadian Jewish Congress leaders bad triad to ranch Mr. Marchand for further details on his very important statement but no contact was made because Tom to page 6
