Declaring its “outrage at the murder of 47 innocent people bound for Israel, the shooting of passengers at the Munich airport, and the machine-gunning of tourists in Israel,” the Ad Hoc Committee Against International Arab Terrorism will conduct a series of demonstrations today and tomorrow. Protest leaders, noting the “shocking silence of the world community,” demand a total international air boycott of Arab states and will picket offices of airlines flying to Arab lands. The protest actions will culminate in a mass demonstration tomorrow at the Arab Information Center. The participants will then march to the Isaiah Wall at the United Nations for a memorial ceremony.
Tomorrow’s rally, according to protest leaders, is to “mourn the innocent victims of Arab crimes, to protest against Arab governments that harbor such criminals, and to arouse world public opinion, the United Nations and responsible governments throughout the world to demand an immediate international air boycott of Arab countries aiding terrorists.” The Ad Hoc Committee includes students and faculty at Stern College for Women, Yeshiva University and members of the National Council of Synagogue Youth, Young Judea, Bnai Akiva and Hashomer Hatzair in the New York City area.
