The Anglo-American policy of arming the Arab states and the general Western policy toward the Middle East which goes along with this development is “profoundly disturbing” the World Jewish Congress executive said in a resolution adopted at its concluding session here.
The executive asserted that this policy will not only endanger the security of Israel and the whole regional this time, but will also undermine and hope of peace between Israel and the Arab states. The resolution called on all Jewish communities and Jewish organizations to mobilize democratic opinion, Jewish and non-Jewish, against Arab arming unless or until the Arab states are ready to conclude a peace treaty with Israel.
In another resolution, the executive offered its guidance and other assistance to all Jewish communities affiliated with it in setting up and working out educational policies and programs, with particular emphasis on the need to aid small communities in South America and elsewhere in their struggle for survival. The executive also set up a commission for this work.
