In a resolu tion, which gained support from all parties in the House of Repre sentatives and the Senate, the UN resolution was denounced as an obstacle to peace in the Mid dle East. Israeli leaders hailed the Parliament’s action. Prime Minister Bob Hawke said the government supported efforts to overturn Resolution 3379 because it had done “very real damage to the relations be tween states.” Hawke said that successive Australian govern ments had regarded the anti- Zionist move as unacceptable. Apart from the United States, Australia is understood to be the only other nation to have for mally condemned UN Resolution 3379 in such forthright terms through the full force of its national legislative process. The action, taken in Parlia ment on Oct. 23, follows a year long lobbying campaign under taken by the Zionist Federation of Australia as part of the wider international campaign to have the UN resolution rescinded. The president of the Zionist Federation, Mark Leibler, hailed the Australian Parliamentary initiative as “a breakthrough of international significance which will, it is hoped, set an example to other democratic parliaments.” k 1 These qualities describe 100 Ponce de Leon Place.

Five Jews arrested in Moscow by Susan Birnbaum NEW YORK (JTA)—Five young Orthodox Jews arrested in front of Moscow’s main syn agogue on Simhat Torah were released Monday after being de fended by a Jewish lawyer who lives in Paris and New York, according to press reports from Moscow. The lawyer, Samuel Pisar, who was in Moscow v/ith a delegation of the American Jew ish Congress, has had frequent dealings with the Soviet Union. The five—identified as Sasha Lieberov, Sasha Zhukov, Vlad imir Geyzel, Sasha Ilin and Kon- stan Alexeiev—were detained for disturbing the peace and each fined 50 Rubles, the equivalent of about $75. They had been arrested immediately after the departure of Elie Wiesel, who was in Moscow to arrange for Soviet participation in a confer ence on non-Jewish victims ol the Holocaust, to be held in Washington in February. While there, the Nobel Peace Prize recipient for 1986 also met with Soviet Jewish refusniks. Wiesel had sought without success to meet with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and dissident physi cist Andrei Sakharov. The Simhat Torah celebrations in Moscow draw a large crowd every year of Jews who do not otherwise attend synagogue, and it is the main Jewish event in the Soviet Union. On this occasion, Jews gather in front of the Choral Synagogue and sing and dance in the holiday’s tradition. The five who were arrested were involved in a “tussle,” according to the press, Pisar reportedly said two police cars drove slowly down the street to disperse noisy cele brants. Pisar told the press that he was called upon in his hotel Monday morning by a group of Jews who asked him to go to the Kalinin Borough courthouse, where the five were to appear. Pisar said that a crowd of about 100 rela tives and friends of the defend ants had gathered in front of the building. He told the press, that he wrote a note to court officials saying he was a lawyer familiar with Soviet lavy and offered his assistance. Pisar said he was then invited to the judge’s chambers, where, he told the press, he explained that he had been present at the synagogue during the festivities and that the celebrations were expected on this particular holi day. Pisar said he was then per mitted to attend the police pro ceedings on the case. Under So viet law, police may administer minor penalties. Pisar described the Soviet magistrate as being polite as she questioned the five men and assessed the fines. NOW ON ATLANTATV the SHALOM SHOW We Bring the Best or Israel to You!"
