An attack on American foreign policy in the Middle East was voiced here today in a resolution adopted by the national council of the United Zionists-Revisionists of America, which asserted that United States policy “forlornly flounders after the British, whose blunders and designs have once again spelled disaster to the course of democracy in this vital area.”
The resolution opposed “clamor” for an American mutual security pact with Israel as “both unrealistic and undignified” and demanded American arming of Israel so that the Jewish State would be in a position to see to its own defense. It scored the Israel Government’s current policy as encouraging Arab aggression and asserted that “only a timely and bold initiative” on the part of Israel can frustrate the “Arab-Communist unholy alliance.”
