A Remorseful Aftermath— Anti-Zionist Action UNITED NATIONS, (WUP) — Although the concentrated PLO-inspired Arab onslaught launched against Israel and Jewry in the Third Committee on October 17 — which attack hit the peak of satanism in the General Assembly on November 10 with the adoption of the anti- Zionist resolution — and although this assault continued last week in the Special Political Committee debating UNRWA, the concensus here among many delegations and Secretariat of ficials is that the whole vicious PLO maneuver is backfiring in an aftermath that has injected gloom and dejection into this world organization. Many of the states that went along with the Arabs in the manner and for the reasons they did are having second thoughts. Some of their representatives are not hiding their remorse over their sub mission of Arab pressures in voting for a resolution which they knew only too well con stituted an outright lie. Ex pediency, not justice or truth, was the motivation for their vote. All this is now hitting home with many Ambassadors who had bent to the will of Israel’s enemies. Let us take, for example, In donesia. The Deputy Am bassador of this nation — which regime is suppressing some three million non-Moslem South Moluccans who are seeking to regain their independence — when asked by a correspondent of his own country why his government had voted for an ob viously anti-Semitic draft op posed by so many countries, in cluding Africans and Asians, replied to the effect that the Assembly resolution was but a piece of paper destined for the wastepaper basket. The Turks, too, who maintain good trade relations with Israel but nonetheless voted for the draft, are now bitterly disap pointed over the wavering stand the Arabs had taken on the ques tion of Cyprus. Egypt’s Am bassador Meguid, the first Arab to speak up on the Cyprus debate, came out in support of Makarios versus Turkey. ‘The Arabs better take heed,” one of the Turks here angrily exclaim ed following the Egyptian speech, clearly inferring thereby that in return for its vote against Zionism Ankara had ex pected all-out Arab backing on the Cyprus issue. Thus many of the Am bassadors who had voted for the ‘big lie’ resolution now stalk the corridors here in a spirit of guilt and shame, es pecially in light of the fact that both Secretary-General Waldheim and Assembly President Gaston Thorn had issued warnings as to the “adverse consequences” that will result from their ‘‘historically and philosophically false” action. What has further come as a hard blow to the abetters of the anti-Zionist resolution are the world-wide protests and outcry against the infamous vote voiced by some of the leading newspapers around the globe and by some of the most renown ed and respected international organizations in every continent. And as for the Soviets, they had to swallow the bitter pill emanating from Italy and France where the Communist parties issued official statements vehemently scoring the Assembly ‘big lie’ resolution, the adoption of which Moscow gleefully hailed as a great vic tory. Summing up the November 10 infamy, Time magazine had this to say: “Some of the nations that voted for the Zionism resolution were scarcely qualified to cast the first stone.

GEORGIA 30033 633-9191 Backfires da is a notorious example: Asian citizens were summarily expell ed and at least 50,000 Ugandans of various tribes have been murdered . . . “The blatant cynicism of the vote not only corroded the moral authority of the General Assembly but gravely under mined a very real racism issue important to some nations that voted for the resolution. Apartheid in South Africa was the real target of the UN’s Decade of Action to Combat Racism, but that campaign has not been yoked with the bogus condemnation of Zionism. The U.S. and other Western governments are now expected at least to withheld financial support from the program. Ap parently, realizing that, five African states voted against the resolution and eleven others abstained — a sign that the week’s work may yet backfire against its perpetrators.” Let the PLO and all of Israel’s enemies ‘rejoice’ and gloat now over their treacherous act. They, in their fleeting ‘victory’, know not what fate awaits them. Our Bible gives the answer it will be the fate of a Haman and of all the other tyrants who sought the destruction of the people of the Rock of Jacob. Let us recall Isaiah’s promise: “No weapon that is formed against thee (Israel’) shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their due reward from Me, saith the Lord.” So it is written, and so it shall be! For all your Commercial and Residential Cleaning.
