Americans Urged To
Press Soviet Union
For Jewish Emigration
PITTSBURGH" (JTA)-
A B'nai B'rith executive urged Americans—both Jews
and non-Jews—to press the
Soviet Union to reopen the
gates of emigration to the
hundreds of thousands of
Jews Who wish to leave and
to allow th'ose who remain
the right to practice, their
religion.
Addressing the Women's
Plea' for Soviet Jewry on
Human Rights Day' last
week, Warren Eisenberg,
director of the International
Council of B'nai B'rjth, said
that in recent years Jews
have been held hostage to
productive relations between .the United States and.
the Soviet. Union.. "When!
theyshow signs pt progress,
emigration flows; when'the
relationship cools, emigration is dammed up," Eisenberg said.
Noting that the emigration
■ of Jews from the USSR had
virtually ceased, slowing
from more.than50,00Oin 1979-
to less than 10,000 for 19,1,'
Eisenberg said as bad as this
was, it was made worse by
flagrant persecution and
anti-Semitism in the^Soviet
Union.   , ■'''-'
He pointed out that' although Soviet President
Leonid Brezhnevs* took a
stand against anti-Semitism'
at the 26th Communist Party
congress last February, "He
cynically opposes the most
basic Jewish right to be identified with a national homeland." Eisenberg added that
of the 105 identifiable cul-
• tural groups in the USSR, only Jews suffer cultural and"
religious deprivation, a
behavior he described as
"unconscionable." " -

Israel   that  the "Security
Council would meet urgently, no later than 5 January,
1982,   to   consider   taking

The draft resolution was a
watered down version of
.earlier drafts which suggested the imposition of
sanctions against Israel" in
the event of its non-compliance with the request tc^res-

final version only- notes that
the Security Council would

UNITED NATIONS
(JTA)—Israel told the
Security Council last week
that Israel's decision to apply its laws to the Golan
Heights - was needed "to
regularize the situation"
there in the face of Syrian,
determination to perpetuate
its no-peace policy with the.
Jewish State.
Yehuda Blum,' Israel's
Ambassador to the, UN,
speaking at the opening of
the Security. Council meeting, which was called into
urgent session by Syria, recalled' repeated Syrian
declarations against peace
with Israel.and the mounting
military threat to Israel; by
the Syrian controlv over
Lebanon, Syria's tightened
links with Lybia and ' its
incitement' of the Druze
population 00 i the " Golan

.Israelis and the Druze. inhabitant^ of the Golan
Heights have lived-well together there. All daily,life on
the Golan Heights, both of
the Israeli resident, and the
Druze inhabitants, is with
Israel," Blum said.
,At the' conclusion of his
speech Blum appealed to
Syria "to start negotiations
with us directly with a .view
to achieving an agreed settlement on all outstanding
issues between our two coun-
' tries, including the question
of the 'international
boundary.!!- ,.
The Security Council voted
later that afternoon on ,-a
draft resolution calling on ,
Israel to"rescind jts annexation of the Golan Heights.'
The resolution stated:
"The Security , Council",
having consideredthe letter
of 14 December, 1981 from
, the Permanent Representa-
* tive of the Syrian.- Arab
Republic,    .     '    ,
"Reaffirming";that  the
acquisition of territory by
force is inadmissable,

, decision to impose its laws,
jurisdiction and administra-

Golan Heights is; null fand

.     "2)--demands that .Israel,'
' the occupying power, should
rescind  forthwith its
decision;'   A" A'
■ "3) determines that all .the
provisions  qfk the  Geneva

ply to the Syrian territory
the Middle East issue. The
Syrian draft demands that -
Israel-rescind its decision,
calls the Israeli action "null
and void" and asks for .
Security Council sanctions
against Israel in case of noncompliance.
Most of the nearly 14,000
members of the Golan
Heights Druze community,
who comprise two-thirds of
the total-population of. the.
region, began observing a
three-day strike to protest
the virtual annexation of the.
Heights by the imposition of
Israeli civil law there.
While some 7,000 Jews living in 30 villages in the
region continued-to express,
their pleasure at the government move, the army was on
a higher state of alert in
what army sources de-. -
scribed as "routine higher
defense.precautions.". __
