The anti-Zionist American Council for Judaism called this week-end on Secretary of State John Foster Dulles to take “necessary and remedial” action against Israel for adopting a law which the ACJ claims affects the status of American Jews. The letter from the Council to Mr. Dulles asserted that Israeli laws permit an American Jew in Israel to become an Israeli citizen automatically without any positive action on his part.
The letter, signed by ACJ president Clarence Coleman Jr., also protested against United States acquiescence in Arab state discriminations against American citizens of Jewish faith–actions predicated “on a false equating of Judaism, a religion, and Israeli national rights and obligations.”
