NEW YORK. UTA) -
Rabbi Joseph P Sternstein of
Roslyn Heights, N.Y.. who was
elected president of the Zionist
Organization of America, said he
would concentrate his efforts in
the coming months on
interpreting Israel’s position to
Americans in connection with
the Geneva peace conference
between Israel and the Arab
states. He also laid great stress
on the development of a broad
scale Zionist educational
program among young American

Rabbi Shlomo Goren, Israel’s

here that the zero population

Speaking to some 500 rabbis
at the 38th annual convention of
the Rabbinical Council of
America, Rabbi Goren stressed

The nature of "This is

by its “daily attacks” on Israel
and American Jews during and
immediately following the Yom
Kippur War, Neumann said.
“These daily attacks on Israel
and American Jews during that
period, including descriptions of
Israel by the program’s
commentator, Bob Bartell, as ‘a
bastard state,’ charges that
American Jews are subversive
