Goldmann: Secure Israel's Future
The Resolution WHEREAS, the United Nationas Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization has shamefully acted to exclude the State of Israel from participation in UNESCO activities and to withhold from Israel financial assistance for the country's museums, libraries and restorations; and WHEREAS, this blatantly political action, based upon wholly unfounded claims of the Palestine Liberation Organization, is a perversion of UNESCO's ideals of international cooperation and universality; and WHEREAS, leading scholars, writers, educators, artists and scientists throughout the world have registered their protests against these flagrant actions and have refused further collaboration with UNESCO until such actions are reversed; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Jewish Federation of Omaha hereby condemns the gross debasement of the spirit and purpose of UNESCO that results from the recent actions of its delegates and calls upon fair-minded persons everywhere to voice their unequivocal protest of such unworthy actions and to seek their immediate rescission. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••"••••••••••••••••••'^ The following individuals support the above resolution: Nnme.

We have included In our budget, the necessary funds to allow the Sher Home to change their programming and provide more medkal care. We have budgrted funds for bringing Russian families to Omaha, and we are ttrengthening, very lubslantially, our financial contribution to the CRC. Ill touch on the reaton for the Increate to the CRC later. We've done much. There't much more to be done We must reevaluate our priorities. There are things we do out of habit. We have to kMk into the reatoni we carry on any particular programt. Are they germaloe to the present needs? Are they necassary? Can we iftai our time and money better In other areas? We need to aipand our tadal servloas to oofsr nore of tiM Jewtab ooamNDlty. llMrt Is a n year oM man hare ta Omaha. His wife Is still with Um. ney have no family ta town.

We have a Senior Citizens lounge In the Center, and we program especially for Senior Citizens. We have the Sher Home wbidi serves a growing need in magnificent fashion. But essentially we express a service sUtkm philosophy. "Here we are. If you want something, come see us" Thai philosophy Isn't right. It isn't in the Jewish tradition. We should go out Into the community and work, help, construct programs that will help people where the people are. We need more hospital beds at the Sher Home, because more and more, our aged are moving into the Home only when they can no kmger take care ol Ihenuielves That means that there It a greater number of our aged citizenry living In Iheir own houses and apartments. That'i a healthy situation, but those people Med contact with the outskle world. They need visitors, and may even need mealson-wheels. Our Family Service Bureau and our social aervlcet program must be expanded We talk iteut our college youth. We do very Utile far them. I sat ta a maethig bi Chicago ta November at the CJnVF'with 400 coUegB ttudtnta who were delegates to the csBventtao. I alwayi attend these meetta«i at die Assembly. It charges my batteries and reinforoea my faith ta our young people. I with you all could talk and listen to them Their priorities might surprise you I don't know whether you are aware of II or not. but the ma)or thnist in the United States to akl in the struggle of Soviet Jews came from our college students. Not from me, not from my parenU, but from young people in college. They led the protest-wrote the letters-staged the demonttratkmt.' Now responsible adults, with financial and political wherewith-all are awake and aware, and things are happening. All because of young people Surely these young people are deserving of our attention. Tlie Federation needs to define our role'in Jewish educalkMi We need to come to grips with the nature and dimensions o( our responsibility. Our sister city project with Safed must get going. It could be one of the most exciting programs that the community has ever undertaken. Safed is counting on us. II needs us emotionally and physically. We have to make the move. We have a Federatkn PhUanthropk! Foundatki* whkdi, at this thne, has MoeU of H mBlkn. We murt put man effort ta the FOiBdattan to eipand It.

Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger reiterated publicly that he has "repeatedly " said "there Is no possibility of negotiations (by the United States with the Palestine Liberation Organization) as long as the PLO does not recognize the existence of Israel." After addressing a National Press Club audience for the first time In his career, Kissinger said In response to questions that i( be did not believe "that there were some possibility o( progress In ftnther negotiations, I would not, obviously, go to the Middle East." He added, "of course, any step that Is taken should only be considered as an Interim step toward a final
peace and that all of the other naUons In the Middle East will have to participate in a negotiation (or a final peace." Kissinger's formal speech to the National Press Club was devoted entirely to the energy problem and contained no direct references to the Aral)Israell conflict.

WASHINGTON (JTA) After his t*io meetings with Jewish leaders in Chicago last Thursday, Illinois Republican Senator Charles Percy recognized that he had failed to convince them of his latest views regarding the IsraeliArab conflict, particulariy that the Palestine Liberation Organization's leader Yasir Arafat is now "a relatively moderate" antagonist. His advice and warnings in Chicago and in Jerusalem earlier proved unacceptable both to the dozen leaders of ttie Public Affairs Committee of the Jewish United Fund of Chicago who had asked to meet with him at his office In the Federal Building and to the approximately ISO persons who gathered later In the same building at a session that Percy himself had organized to explain his comments. Some at the larger session left well before It adjourned. Later at a news conference, Percy observed that "some of
my many lifelong friends were deeply, deeply troubled," and "I could well have lost their votes and their support." The Senator appeared deeply troubled, too. His Senate office in Washington the next day was completely doaed to bualneu. A recorded mesaage Informed callers they should jtbone the following business day becauae the ftaff was In a daylong meeting. Surprised Capitol personnel said such ihutdowns rarely happea In Jerusalem, Washington and Chicago, Percy contended that Israel should deal with Arafat even though not even a peep of remorse or conciliation came from the wouldbe destroyer of Israel as a nation and the architect of the killings of defenseless innocents in cold bibod In Israel and abroad. And although none of the rulers of the Arab world has even informally pledged for Israel's sovereignty — for which Secretary of State
Henry A. Kissinger himself is the authority - Percy advised Israel to make further withdrawals to those vulnerable old borders that helped bring about the Six-Day War. He also warned Israel not to engage In any pre-emptive war because America no longer will back her "right or wrong" and he indicated that he would not be among those in Congress who traditionally have o\erridden the Administration in granting funds and credits for Israel's defense. But Percy did not engage in terms used by former Sen. J. William Fulbright against Zionists and alleging they "dominate" Congress. Rather, he reiterated several times that his support for Israel's "legitimate aspirations for peace and security Is Irreversible" although "changed circumstances in the Middle East require changes in Israel's policy" to avoid "Imminent war."

^n Augusi 1, 1776, in one of the earliest battles after the signing of the Declaration of Indcpendance on t_, July 4th, Francii Salvador wai killed —the lint Jewlih patriot to die in the American Revolution. With a imall group of 330 men, he died near hit plantation on the Kcowcc River in South Carolina, while defending the frontier settle• against a Brilish-inclted ailaclc by Cherokee Indians. Ironically, Salvador himself wai bom in London. The nephew of • wealthy English financier, he had arrived in Charleston in 1773 and became a planter and landowner with an estate of over 6000 acres. Shortly after settling in America, Salvador became an ardent patriot, an outspoken defender of American Liberties and in 1773, a representative to the First Provincial Congress. Later, he served in the Second Provincial Congress of South Carolina which was to become the lint General Assembly of the rebel colony. Salvador was the first Jew to serve in a provincial or in an "American" legislative body. While in Charleston, Salvador earned the respect and friendship of many noted colonial leaders. Among them. Edward Rutledge. Patrick Calhoun and Edward Pinkney. FrancisSalvador'saccomplishmenU were many ... including his service as financial advisor to the Assembly; hii participation in reorganization of the count and system of selecting mag-
istrates: his active role in the drafting of the Constitution of .South Carolina; and his commission to sign and stamp the State's new currency. Although he died at the young age of 30, Francis Salvador's contribution? to his adopted slate and country were cxceplional. The plaque dedicated to his memory in City Hall Paris in Charleston bears these words.... Born an aristocrat, he became a democrat, An Englishman, he cast his lot with America; True to his ancient faith, he gave his life For new hopes of human liberty and understanding. <
