The Arab League’s boycott of American Jews and American firms doing business with Israel would “collapse under its own impudence” if the United States Government took action to oppose this discriminatory behavior, Maurice Bisgyer, executive vice president of B’nai B’rith, last night told the 83rd annual convention of District 7 of the organization.
Mr. Bisgyer noted that the Arab League’s failure to resolve differences between Lebanon and other Arab states had pointed up the “political bankruptcy” of the Arab League. He characterized the League as “an anti-Israel coalescence” and a “negative force” with no program for Arab social or economic advancement.
