The American Council for Judaism, at the closing of its conference last night, adopted a resolution calling to the attention of the Republican and Democratic National Committee that “no individual and no organization can commit or control the votes of Americans of Jewish faith.”

The anti-Zionist organization also declared that to characterize as “anti-Semites” persons who oppose Zionist political objectives tended to “equate nationalistic Zionism with the religion of Judaism” and beclouded “constructive consideration” of the Middle East crisis.
