JERUSALEM   (JTA)   -
Premier Yitzhak Rabin on
Dec. 2 publicly criticized the
United States for failing to
block the Security Council
resolution    linking    the
Palestinian    issue    with
extension of the United
Nations    Disengagement
Observer Force (UNDOF)
mandate   on   the   Golan
Heights.        But       . he
categorically rejected Likud
demands, in the course of a
vociferous    seven-hour
Knesset debate, that Israel
refuse  to  cooperate  with
UNDOF  because of  file
linkage. The Knesset voted
57-31    to    endorse    the
Premier's  statement.   A
Likud no-confidence motion
was defeated by the same
margin. The fact that Likud
polled only 31 of its 39 votes
in both cases indicated some
defection     within    jthe
opposition  ranks.   Rabin
reiterated his government's
decision not to participate in
or cooperate in any way with
the    Security '/Council's
Middle     East ■    debate
scheduled to begin Jan. 12
with       the       probable
participation      of      the
Palestine Liberation
Organization. He expressed,
in muted terms, his
government's feeling of
severe letdown over U.S.
acquiescence to Soviet-
Syrian demands to inject the
Palestinian issue into the
procedural matter . of
renewing the UNDOF
mandate for another six
months/Rabin warned that
the Soviet-Syrian-pLO
design had repercussions not
only .for  Israel  but  was
aimed against basic
American interests in the
Middle East, against Egypt
and other moderate Arab
elements. The Premier also
rejected, however, a
suggestion by dove-ish
members of his own Labor
Alignment that Israel
modify its policy with regard
to the PLO by declaring its
willingness to negotiate with
any Palestinian group that
recognizes Israel's existence
as a sovereign state and
renounces terrorism.
Rabin said that the Soviet-
Syrian-PLO aim was to put
the Palestinian question at
the center of the Middle East
conflict whereas the true
core of the conflict was
continued Arab refusal to
come to terms with Israel's
existence. If that could be
changed, the whole conflict
— including the Palestine
question — could be solved,
Rabin said. He described

$3,500,600 Set As CJF Campaign Goal
Myer Mellman
$3,500,000 has been set by the Board of Trustees of
the Columbus Jewish Federation at its Nov. 24 meeting
as the 1976 United Jewish Fund Campaign goal. Myer
Mellman, 1976 General Campaign Chairman,
emphasized that the realization of this goal will require
the total commitment of every campaign worker and
the full cooperation of the entire Jewish community.
"This goal," said Mr. Mellman, "represents the.
minimum essential needs for local services, for
national agencies, and for overseas needs. Unless we
are to seriously cut back on our obligations, it will be
necessary to at least meet the goal of $3,500.000.1 am
counting on the support of every man and woman in the
Columbus Jewish community to bring us over the top
by the end of the Campaign."

proposal was contained in
the U-S. reply to the Soviet
note of Nov. 9 calling for the
early reconvening of the
Geneva conference. The
State Department released
the text of the reply which
states that "as a practical

The U.S. also said it was
"prepared to consider

consultations with the USSR

pointed out "with respect to

U.S. .has .always held the

mass circulation Maariv
commented editorially on
the "double standard"
observed by the Western
world which "keeps silent"
when Moslems and
Christians are slaughtered
day after day in the
internecine warfare in
Lebanon, but rises up in
arms to denounce Israel
when terrorist bases are
attacked. "Apparently when
Arab terrorists use; Russian
arms to kill Israelis, that
makes no impression on
McGovern," Maariv said
"When Arabs kill Christians
the" whole world keeps its
hands folded. When
Christians kill Arabs, there
is no reaction. When Arabs
kill Jews, it is almost
natural. But when Jews
attack terrorists, then the
whole world rises against
