Meltons To Host UJFC Inaugural
Ambassador Makes Dramatic UNSpeecji
On Dec. 30 Yosef Tekoafa, ,Israel's Ambassador to tte U.N., deUvered to tte U.N. Security CouncU a statement of major significance. Ui- fortunately, this vitally Im¬ portant statement f&Ued to receive tte coverage it mer¬ its. In order to overcame tfais lack, tte Community Rela¬ tions Conunittee ottteUntt- -ed Jewish Fund and CouncU Is distributing Ambassador TekoafaFs statement as wide¬ ly as possible.   ,
Tte statement itself is a long and detaUed one, and we can only print some cf Ota significant excerpts below. FuU copies oftte statement, however, are avaUaUe attte CRC affice, 34 N. Higfa St., 221-5417.
TekoaVs statement in¬ cluded the foUowing Items of major concern in under- standtaig tte situaticn In tte Middle East today,
"Uhllte tte attempt, or¬ ganized and launcted firom Lebanese territory, to de- stroy an Israel aiq^ane and kUl tte 50 persons aboard^ Israel chose not to act at an Intemational airport of a nratral country, buttodirect its measures totte source of tte Arab attack—Befanit apd its airport.
"IMUce tte Lebane3e,at- tack, Israel chose nottotake Uves but to strike agafavs|t- innntmiite objectives. V^here' ttere was lustAd Uoo^tlifrst in tte Lebanese attack, tter^ was utmost care to.avoid' loss cC life In tte IsraeU' measure. WhUe at tte Ath^ ens airport ttere was apre-
meditated.xirffort to warfare todew areas, toex- tend fit^tViJinw dimensions, to involve In it tte inter- national commimily, tiie Is¬ raeU action was restricted in its scope mid objective. "Indeed, ttere is a dif- ferehce betweenttetwoacts. One was aggression for tte sake of murden tte otter a desperate attempt, alter continued restraint, to Im¬ press that aggression does not pay. One was marked fay, «fc£^ inhumairity. Tte an attempt to re- faumanUy even in
again can only encourage fkirtter breaches of tte cease-fire.
