The chairman of the Jewish Agency today exhorted Jews all over the world to support Israel’s policies even if it meant opposing the policies of their own governments. Aryeh L. Pincus made that claim on Jewish loyalty to Israel in the course of his keynote address at the Zionist General Council (Actions Committee) meeting that opened here. Mr. Pincus praised world Jewry for identifying with Israel through contributions of money and support for immigration and human needs. “Such identification,” he said, “means among other things an absolute commitment to support Israel’s policy and help create a favorable image, even if her policies clash with those of governments in countries where Jews live.”
