Israel's Rabin on UN Vote: A Sabotage of Peace Effort JERUSALEM (JTA) Premier Yitzhak Rabin declared that the pro-PLO resolutions overwhelmingly adopted by the United Nations General Assembly constituted "an assault on the right of existence of the State of Israel, disavowal of the role designated the UN" and
"sabotage of the effort to achieve peace between Israel and the Arab slates." He declared that "No resolution of the UN General Assembly will bind Israel to negotiate with the terrorist organization" and affirmed that Israel's reply to the resolutions "together with the
Shabbat of Affirmation We, The Rabbinical Council of Omaha, deplore the decision of the United Nations condemning Zionism as a form of racism. The members of the Rabbinical Council call upon all of the Jewish people of Omaha to gather in their respective synagogues on this Shabbat, November 14th, as an expression of our solidarity with the people of the State of Israel. We have proclaimed this Shabbat as the "Shabbat of Affirmation." As we gather in our synagogues, we affirm the fact that Zionism is not racism but is the very opposite, an expression at the finest values in Jewish life. Each congregation will include in its liturgy on this Sabbath readings and prayers which will reflect our solidarity with the citizens of the State of Israel.
Jewish people throughout the world, will be increasing unity In the effort to reinforce the strength of the State of Israel in the fulfillment of its historic tasks." He thanked those nations that voted against the measures. Rabin's statement said: "I regard it as necessary to react without delay, on behalf of the government of Israel, to the resolutions adopted today in the UN General Assembly. The majority in the Assembly today reached a nadir in two resolutions both of which, alike, have the significance of an assault on the right'of existence of the State of Israel, of disavowal of the role designated the UN, and of sabotage of the effort to achieve peace between Israel and the Arab states.

Ray visited in Jerusalem with Israel Prime Minister Rabin. Pomerantz found the Prime Minister "responsive, thoughtful" and concerned with a host of world problems.

The supporters of the resolution have raised a great threat to the viability of the United Nations This Arab resolution is a part of a propaganda tactic to damage world-wide efforts of Jews to sustain Israel and an effort to destroy peace in the Middle East. The American people must be made aware of the true meaning of this vicious attempt to distort Zionism Members of the United Nations have succeeded in imposing on the world organizations the tyranny of numbers and making it into an Instrument lor the furtherance of their own political ends. They have effectively undermined its usefulness as a form for the pursuit o( peaceful accommodations among nations. Zionism Is a "liberatton movement" for Jews which seeks to preserve the religious and cultural essence of the Jewish people. The greatest misconception about Zionism is that it supports a stale exclusively for Jews The Israeli society is one In which there is freedom of religion, expression and movement of people of every background. We commend the U.S. government on its vigorous opposition to the scurrilous resolution and all the member states of the U.N. that voted against It We are heartened by those African stales that resisted the Arab pressure on them and refused to vote for the resolution. We look to the decent actions and rationale of the people of the world to recognize this for the mean and vicious libel that it is and to bring about its rejection by the international world communities.

"We made it clear at an early stage to all the political factors that we reject the invitation of the PLO to the Geneva conference. It was agreed with us that only factors to whose invitation all sides would agree upon would be invited to the conference. The countries that voted for the Arab initiative in the Assembly must, therefore, be aware that the said resolutions constitute an obstacle on the road to the convening of the Geneva conference."
