Mrs. Golda Meir, former Foreign Minister of Israel, said tonight that the crisis and war in the Middle East last summer had created a “revolutionary change in American Jewry’s relationship to Israel,” In a statement prior to her return to Israel after a month here for Israel Bonds and other causes, Mrs. Meir said that “it has been a source of deep satisfaction to see during the past several weeks that the all-out support born in the period of greatest crisis for Israel has been adopted as a criterion and standard for the future, and that community leaders have no thought of returning to the levels of campaigning that existed before the outbreak of the June War.”
