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. Idi Amin’s Ugaa-

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!
