3 SPECTACLE AT THE U.N.
^ A spectacle of the current United Nations Security Council
H debate on the Indo-Pakistani conflict once again highlights
O the double-standard employed by those nations which for
political reasons find it in their interest to denounce Israel
^ for taking steps necessary to assure her existence and insure
the welfare of her people.
The Soviet Union and India, who lined up against Israel
sa during and after the Six-Day War have adopted different
y tactics in the current conflict.
U
M
0 India, which began the present conflict when its troops
>* entered East Pakistan, has refused to withdraw until a
q political settlement is reached between Pakistan and the
^ Bengla Desh rebels; which is another way of saying until
3 Pakistan recognizes the independence of Bengla Desh.
H-
1 The Soviet Union, which constantly demands Israel’s
3 vacating from Arab territories, has vetoed two resolutions
$ calling for a halt to the fighting on the Indian subcontinent*
Z and the withdrawal of Indian troops from Pakistani territory.
2 Pakistan, another nation which has not hesitated to attack
^ Israel for defense measures to prevent its destruction, saw
^ nothing contradictory in its military actions against East
g Pakistan some months ago. China, which supports Pakistan
o* in the present conflict, continues to attack Israel’s position
* in the Middle East.
^ All of which lends some credence to Israeli Premier Golda
Meir’s statement that the United Nations is motivated not by
^ questions of right or wrong but by government interest.
Actor Impersonates Hitler,
Is Embraced By Germans
NEW YORK, (JTA) — An actor who impersonated Adolf
Hitler on the streets of Munich during the Aiming of a
television play says he was surrounded by people who
wanted to embrace him and shake his hand. According to
New York Post TV columnist Bob Williams, Swiss-born
Actor Billy Frick, appeared in a Nazi uniform with a Hitler
hairpiece and paste-on mustache. He told Williams, “I was
astonished by what I encountered. The Germans still have
Hitler in their hearts. Everybody wanted to shake my hand.
Women embraced me in Munich. There were women who
wept. An old man on crutches from war wounds threw his
arms around me and showed me his medals. They all took
me for Hitler. There wasn’t a single heckler.”

be spoken of like the Crusades.’r
Jerusalem was besieged and bom-
barded day and night for almost
three months. Its people starved
and died while you debated
whether or not there had been
any aggression against it.
“The reproach of history,”
noted Abba Eban at this time,
“will not be leveled against the
Council’s inability to resist
aggression by pretending it did
not exist.” The Council was
singularly unimpressed when the
Jordanian government seized
part of the city in defiance of
the United Nations and callously
destroyed the Jewish quarter of
the old city, leveling every
synagogue and school. It dese-
crated the Jewish cemetery on
the Mount of Olives and sold
its tombstones for building ma-
terial. We heard no murmur of
complaint from you during
nineteen long years when we
were barred from the western
wall and Israeli, Moslems and
Christians were cut off from
their holy places.
You were agonizingly silent
when the aggression was repeated
in 1967, and the Jordanians
again, without the slightest pro-
vocation, wantonly bombarded
the city. The only complaint
that you registered was when the
city was at last reunited and the
barbed wire barricades and mine
fields were removed and replaced
by parks and playgrounds, wh£h
free access was provided to all
churches, mosques and holy
sites, when homes, schools and
hospitals were constructed for
Jews, Moslems and Christians.
You failed us thrice when we
counted upon you: in 1948 you
failed to stop - or even criticize -
the Arab aggressors;iril957 you
forced us out of Sinai, which we
had entered to lift the blockade
of Elat; and in 1967 - when we
needed you most - you acceded
to the demands of an Egyptian
dictator who had reimposed that
blockade and removed your
peace-keeping buffer, the U. N.
Emergency Force.
still teel that it can pass
moral judgment upon us? We are
no longer petitioners humbly
requesting that we be granted
our God-given rights. We stand
today amongst the nations as a
peer. There is but one law and it
applies equally to all.
We are all determined to sur-
vive. It may be uncharitable of
us to refuse to sacrifice ourselves
“lest the world be plunged into
a third and, possibly, nuclear
World War,” but let those nations
which make such demands upon
us demand them of themselves
first. If we have become “tough
and inelastic,” as you describe
us, we have been made so by our
neighbors and by the world. We
have been forged into steel after
having been thrust into the
cauldron of the holocaust. We
are prepared to stand up to any
pressures in order to survive,
including sanctions, embargos,
boycotts, blockades and even
expulsion from the “family of
nations.”
It is understandable that you
cannot grasp all this. After all,
for two thousand years we have
been cast in the role of a suppli-
cant. Hat in hand, we have always
knocked at your doors begging
for favors. We have always
appealed to “the conscience of
the world.” Well, does the world
have a conscience, or in the
international jungle is it each
nation for itself? Yet, jungle or

HOW DO YOU
PLAY THE GAME?
We all know the game Egypt played with the Nazis. Now the same
Al Ahram editor wrote that he doubted the authenticity of Hitler's
slaughtering of six million Jews. He was talking to West Germans.
And Sadat, says Gideon Hausner, of Jerusalem, the chief prosecutor
of Adolph Eichmann, wrote a letter to the Egyptian newspaper "Al
Mussawar" (Sept. 18, 1953) on the supposition that Hitler was still
"alive" someplace.
"Dear Hitler," he began, "we salute you from the bottom of our
hearts. Although it appears you have lost the war, you are in fact the
eternal victor, because you succeeded in creating dissension between
Churchill and his partners in evil. True, you made some errors by
fighting on too many fronts, but you were the eternal leader of
Germany. It is only just that no one be surprised were you to rise to
power again so that the world might witness the resurrection of a new,
great Hitler."
So wrote Anwar Sadat, the president of the United Arab Republic.
Frankly, we know that we.
cannot obtain a fair hearing in
your organization. Because of
the large Moslem and Communist
blocs we can never hope to
muster the two-thirds majority
needed to pass any resolution
in the General Assembly; and if
we turn to the Security Council
we are stymied by an automatic
Russian - and soon Chinese - veto.
Your charter speaks ot the right
of /nen and nations. Where are
ours?
We have a long list ot com-
plaints to tender to you that
are not directly associated with
Israel. Where were you when the
Russians invaded Hungary in
October, 1956? Where were you
when they raped Czechoslovakia?
Where were you when the
Iraquis butchered the Kurds, the
Nigerians slaughtered the Ibos,
and the Sudaneze exterminated
the Blacks? Where are you today
as Pakistan puts an end to the
people of Bangla Desh?
We have learned a bitter
lesson from these wars of exter-
mination which you pretend
don’t exist. We have learned
that the nations which will not
fight for their survival will not
survive. Jew today is not the
same as it was before the creation
of Israel. We are no longer
expendable. We no longer bend
the neck passively to the execu-
tioner. In view of its silence when
we suffered the greatest r^artiy-
dom in human history, does the
jess jawin

The Arab Refugee Problem -
has occupied a great deal of your
time - was none of our making.
Had the Arab states not launched
their War of Aggression in 1948
there wouldn’t be a single Arab
refugee today. The refugees were
treated like pariahs by their
Arab host governments, who
were responsible in the first
place for having made them re-
fugees. And yet when we tried
to solve this tragic human pro-
blem which transcends politics,
by moving these people out of
their hopeless camps and provid-
ing them with suitable homes
and jobs, you warn us against
instituting any changes.
You send teams of inquiry to
investigate the charges made by
our Arab neighbors of ill-treat-
ment of the Arab population in
the occupied territories - terri-
tories which are open to anyone
for inspection - yet you turn a
blind eye to the unspeakable
cruelties visited upon Jews in the
Arab lands and in the Soviet
Union.
Wonder if "Bill" or "Joe" know about his feelings.
Israel should not give one inch of territory until she has direct
negotiations.
Not one inch of land returned until Jews and Arabs sit down
together and mutually agree upon their problems and the solution
for them.
If Israel is faced with an imposed settlement the next war could
well be a bloodbath.
This would be another tragedy in a long history of subjugation for
Jews.
Let us look to the Maccabees.
Let us learn a lesson from the Hanuka story.
Israel wants is the dignity to live in peace.
Listen to the carpings, the connivings, to the set-decorations, to the
actors, to the sing-song sabre-rattling.
All orchestrated to bury Israel.
We must not let it happen.
Never.
Never again!
