Israel denounces apartheid;
cites Arab, S. Africa links
by Yitzhak Rabi
UNITED NATIONS (JTA)
Israel has sharply denounced South
Africa’s policy of apartheid, saying
it was against Jewish tradition and
values, and called on the Pretoria
government to immediately stop
its apartheid system.
Addressing the General Assembly’s
debate on apartheid last week.
Binvamin Netanyahu. Israel's
Ambassador to the United Nations,
also charged that the Arabs, who
are condemning Israel for its ties
with South Africa, have more trade
and more dealings with the South
African government than Israel.
According to Netanyahu, 95
percent of the oil imported by
South Africa comes from Arab
sources. He said that Israel’s trade
with South Africa is marginal and
amounts to only 0.4 percent of that
country’s total foreign trade.
Binvamin Netanyahu
Charging the Arabs with hypocrisy
and double-talk in their attacks
against Israel's alleged support of
the apartheid policies, Netanyahu
charged that the Arabs themselves
practiced policies of supporting
racism. He exhibited the German
magazine Bunte which published
in its issue last week an interview
with Nazi war criminal Alois Brunner,
who has been living in Damascus
for many years under the protection
of the Syrian government.
He also recalled that Saudi Arabia
only recently abolished slavery by
law, and charged that slavery still
can be found in practice in that
country.
The Arabs consistently tried to
link Israel to the apartheid policies
of South Africa, charging it with
commercial and military collabora
tion with Pretoria.
In recent years, they have passed
resolutions in the General Assembly
denouncing Israel’s alleged South
African ties, singling it out from
other nations who have much more
trade with South Africa. The Arabs
also accuse Israel of nuclear col
laboration with South Africa.
