The harshly-worded blution was somewhat softer |n an earlier proposed draft ch called for a review of Is- I's status in the General (st-mhly when it holds its next ular session in September. it call was withdrawn. But one provision of the reso- Uori adopted declared that ls- jjl "has carried out neither its pigations under the (UN) arter nor its commitment un- r General Assembly Resolution | of II May, 1949." Resolution was the one by which Israel fs admitted to membership in Israeli diplomats said that by glaring that Israel did not ful- |its obligations under Resolu- ZTA. the Arab states were paring the ground for suspen- of Israel from the General embly in the future. fHE RESOLUTION also con- ned Israel for its "repressive sures" in the occupied terri- pes, called for the establish- |t of a Palestinian state and on the entire UN member - 1 "to renounce the policy of r'ding Israel with military, 7>omic and poUtical listance." Israel's Ambassador to the Yehuda Blum, speaking be- the vote, characterized the piution as a "despicable, men- tous concoction" and de- faced those who would vote "as "moral perverts."

SSOS resolutions previously adopted on the question. He said for that reason, Egypt would abstain MEGUID added that the reso- lution contained certain negative and critical provisions which dis- rupted the delicate balance and ignored, without reason, Security Council Resolution 242 which is, he said, "a valid point of de- parture" toward a settlement in the Middle East. The Egyptian envoy further observed that Israel's withdrawal from Sinai marked a significant step forward in the Middle East peace process and provided a new incentive toward a just solution in the area. William Sherman, the U.S. representative, who spoke before the vote, said that with this reso- lution the UN was pushed one step closer to a precipice beyond which looms "a political and moral abyss." He said the resolu- tion was intended to intensify the struggle against Israel and not to promote peace and was therefore contrary to the purposes of the UN Charter. SHERMAN NOTED that Is- rael completed its withdrawal from Sinai only a few days ago and asked: "But where in the resolution now before us is note taken of this hopeful develop- ment? On the contrary, the state that withdrew from occupied ter- ritory for the sake of peace is vili- fied as not a peace-loving mem- ber-state, language never used against any other member-state of the UN and intended, as we ail know, to question the legitimacy of Israel's membership in this body." The American representative added: "Can the UN prevent the further erosion of its reputation if the General Assembly abuses its authority and the Charter in pur- suit of this single-minded and self-destructive vendetta against Israel?" Sherman spoke out strongly against the clause of the resolu- tion that condemned the U.S. for vetoing Security Council resolu- tions on Palestinian rights. He said that clause, aimed against the exercise by the U.S. of its constitutional prerogative of vot- ing against resolutions which in the U.S. view could harm the cause of peace, was "profoundly and specifically hostile" to the U.o. THE ENTIRE resolution, he said, "is an ill inspired, offensive document that will re-enforce an attitude of cynicism toward the General Assembly and thus to the UN itself among people of goodwill." Blum, in his remarks before the vote, declared: "Today the peo- ple of Israel and the Jewish peo- ple around the world celebrate the 34th anniversary of the restoration of Jewish indepen- dence in our homeland after 19 centuries of persecution, exile and desperation. On their behalf, let me tell the enemies of Israel and the Jewish people that no amount of distortion, fabrication, bigotry and hallucinations in this building can undo so central a fact of the political, spiritual, cul- tural and religious history of the world, as the inseparable bond between the Jewish people and its land." Peres Invite Is Withdrawn TEL AVIV (JTA) Isra- el's Labor Party has expressed surprise and shock at the Swed- ish Labor Party's action in can- celling its invitation to Shimon Peres to attend May Day observ- ances in Stockholm this year. Peres has sent a cable to Swedish Social Democratic leader Olaf Palme protesting the cancella- tion. The Swedes said the cancella- tion was due to differences within their party on recent Israeli actions, especially Premier Menachem Begin's extension of Israeli law to the Golan Heights. Another reason given was the possible danger of reactions by anti-Israel Nicaraguans and Pal- estine Liberation Organization delegates. 600 Attend Memorial For Israel's War Dead By YITZHAK RABI NEW YORK-(JTA)- More than 600 people attended a mem- orial service for the men and wo- men who fell in Israel's wars. The Yom Hazikaron Memorial, which is marked every year on the eve of Independence Day, was held in Town Hall and was organized by the Consulate General of Israel in New York, on the occasion of Israel's 34th Anniversary. Naphtali Lavie, Israel's Consul General, told the gathering: "To- night we commemorate the thousands of young men and wo- men who gave their lives for our independence and for our exist- ence, as a free people in its own ancient land. Nearly 12,000 young men and women were lost during the wars that Israel's neighbors launched against hermore than 6,000 of them on the Egyptian front." Lavie underscored the great sacrifice Israel made to achieve peace with Egypt. He declared: "Let us hope that the rest of the Arab countries surrounding Israel will follow the example set by Egypt and join with Israel in searching for a peaceful solution of coexistence."
