GE. 81-15457 E/CN.4/SR.1591 page: 2 The meeting vras called to order at 10.15 a.m. QUESTION OP MEASURES TO BE TAKEN AGAINST IBEOKGIES AND PRACTICES BASED Cil TERROR. GR INCITEMENT TO RACIAL DISCRDin^LATION OAANY ^.THER FORM ; OP GROUPiJATEED (agenda • item 25) (continued) (A/RES/55/20G ; E/CU. VL.1540) 1. Mr. I-'IAKSMOV (Byelorussion Soviet Socialist Republic) introduced draft resolution E/CN.4/L.I548 and summarized its provisions. In the vievr of the sponsors, it v-ras high time that the Commission adopted an o/ppropriate resolution calling for measures to condemn and prohibit all manifestations of nazism., fascism, neo-fascism and other ideologies based on racial oxclusiveness, intolerance and terror. The sponsors felt that the draft resolution vras a balanced text, which reflected the vievrs of most of the Commission's members a^s vrell a.s the pirovisions of General Assembly resolution 55/2OÜ, and they hoped, that the Commission vrould adopt it. 2, Mr. ORTIZ RODRIGUEZ (Cuba) said that there vras at ijresent a real threat of the resurgence of nazism and similar ideologies and practices, the scars from vrhich vrere still borne by ma,nlcind. Only argents of such ideologies vrould d.eny tho ajnple evidi.ence that that danger existed; the Commission must а:ггм attention to it and propose auction aimed at its elimination. 5, The quest-ion of mea,sures against racist ideologies and practices had. been under discussion in the General Assembly and tho Commission for the past 10 years, a fact vrhich amply demonstrated the international coriimunity ' s concern at the threat to peace, security and well-being posed by such raanifestations, The proliferation of organizations vrhich promoted corrupt id.eologiec a.nd discriminated -a,gainst racial and. other minorities vra.s to be condiemned; so, too, vrere those circles vrhich tolerated such organizat.ionG, for motives of gain. Also reprehensible i.rere the resurgence of fascism as a. form of governraent and tlie persistence of ranist régimes such as that of South Africa v.diich continued to discriminate against certain citizens because of their race, 4. It had never been the practice of Cuban delegations to make arrogant pronounce­ ments in international forvuns about vrhat should be done. But his delegation did feel, ci,s the representative of a pea.ce-loving country, that the grovring d-anger arising , from.. the spread.of-corru.pt ideologies meant-that the • Commis-sión ' should look into the activities of those iâ.eologies' practitioners and of the sources vrhich financed them, recommend measures foi' their elim.ination, and alert vrorld public opinion, in order to imbue present and future gqnera.tions vrith a spirit of tolex'ance and co-operation, 5. Mr. NOVAK (United States of America) said that his country's nevr Secretary of State had reaffirmed the United States' commitraent to the h.uiaan riglits upon vrhich that country vras founded and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights had been modelled; hovrever, he had also stressed tha.t tlie nevr Adjainistra.tion vrould. examine, as a matter of priority, that foxra of international terrorism! vrhich was aimed at denying the basic human rights to life, liberty and security of person. 6. His delegation regretted that draft resolution. E/CN.4/L.1548 wa.s neither as comprehensive nor as true to rea.lity a.s General Assembly resolution 55/200, The fascism vanquished in 1945 was not the major source of current acts of terrorism directed aga.inst innocent civilians and everyday institutions. Such terroi-ism vras Е/СП.4/32.1591 page 5 cynically aimed at destroying the established institutions and free associations of true democratic societies, in the hnov/ledgo that it was those bodies, ond not merely words, which ensured respect for himan rights •- a point emphasized by James Madison, one of the, a,rchitects of t_¡e United fJtates Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Such terrorismby injuring tho integrity of individuals and institutions, and by forcing a.uthorities to cdopt em.ergency mea.sures to protect lav/ and order, inrp3.ired other human riglits besides those to life, freedom and security of.person. Terrorism had reached epidemic proportions and certain Governmients, including Governments vdiich v/ere novr or had fragile institutions, v/ere particularly exposed to its effects. 7- The nev/ terrorism differed from past manifestations of ideologica.lly-inspired individuals or the totalitarian terror practised by such as hitler and Stalin. It miight stem from deep grievances, but it v/as ,a,lso cynically exported by certa^in Sta.tes in their ov/n interests. It victimized the innocent, as did a.ll fonns of terror, but it had thx'ee novel features: it aimed intentionally at destroying existing human rights institutions; it vvavS often .interna.tionally supported; and. it harmed not only a single society but others outside. It often claimed, as a justification, that it sought s. fairer society; but no movement \/hich a.ttacked innocent civilia.ns or committed other sucJi a.trocities could have a.ny moral standing. 8. The training and support given to international terrorism vfao a matter for the international community's urgent concern. Unfjrtunately, many States, vliilst criticizing the use of violence,-themselves proviü.ea such aid. The Com,misGÍon ha.d a particular obligation to speak out against those v.dio used and supported terrorism. All nalions had a common interest in outlavring the phenomenon, since, if a.ccepted by all, it v/ould become uncontrolla,ble and ma.ke v/orld order impossible. Effective measures must be v/orked out to punish those vrbto thus violated the basic sta.nda.r,ds of international behaviour. All nations had a right to live in freedom from fear - which meant, first a.nd foremost, freedom from terror. 9. Mr. SAIAH-BEY" (Algeria) recorded his delegation's full support of draft resolution .E/CH.4/L,1540 . The representative of the "Byelorussion Soviet Socialist Republic, in introducing that document, had rightly referred to the evils of nazism, fascism a.nd neo-fascism; tlie suffering endured by many peoples during the Second "i.'/orld VJa.r had been the outcome of those evil ideologies. But it v^as not correct to 8.ssert, as the observer for tlie \1от1а Jev.lsh Congress had done, tha.t nazism had manifested itself a.g3-inst Jews alone. 10. It should be recalled that the General Assembly, in its resolution 5579 (XXX), had determined that zionism v-/as a form of raci-sm and racial discrimina.tion. The draft resolution before the Commission should be interpreted as applying to zionism for as long as the Zionist entity -pi-actised terror and racial discrimination. 11. Algeria denounced all ideologies based on r.a.cial exclusiveness, intolerance, hatred and terror. E/CN.4/sR.1591 pa.ge A 12. Mr. tQT.kTXA (Poland) said that his delegation, as a sponsor of draft resolution E/CN.4/L.I540, vras concerned about the serious danger emanating from nazism, fascism and neo-fascism, Poland had suffered more than most countries as a result of fascismi during the Second v/orld Ua.r over 6 raillion Polish citizens had been killed, of vrhom over 5 million ha.d died not from irilita.ry operations but from a.cts of terror" and ma.ss exterminai ion. To tolerate a resurgence of fa.-scism vrould be to disregard those victims. 15<• Poland ha.d'consta.ntly stressed the need for mea.sures a.ga.inst na.-zism, fa.soism, neo-fa.scism a.nd ra.cia.l discrimina.tion; it vra.s on Pola.nd' s' initia.tive tha.t -the- Genera.l Assembly ha.d a.dopted resolution 2351 (XXIl) on mea.sures to be ta.ken a.ga.inst na..zism a.nd ra.cia.l intolera.nce, Another important step ta.ken by the Genera.l Assembly had been the adoption of the Convention on the Non-Applicability of Sta.tutory Limita.tions to Wa.r Crimes a.nd Crim.es aga.inst .''tim.a.nit.y; in his delega.tion's vievr, .".11 Member Sta.tes should become pa.rties to that Convention, and to the Convention on the Prevention a.nd Punislment of the- Crime of Genocide. 14. Events in Chile during -recent yea.rs ha.d shovm the need for stro-ng mea,sures to prev-ent the reviva.l of fascism. In Pola.nd's vievr, there vra.s a.n urgent need to intensify na.tiona.l a.nd interna.tiona.l measures a.ga.inst such ma.nifeata.tions.

  • CORE UA 537 Spring 2014 CULTURES and CONTEXTS
    CORE UA 537 Spring 2014 CULTURES AND CONTEXTS: MODERN ISRAEL Prof. David Engel This course will explore the cultural values and expressions through which residents of the modern State of Israel, established in 1948, have tried to come to grips with the manifold challenges their country has faced since its inception. The term “culture” in the course is taken to designate the set of ideas, practices, and objects through which human beings adapt to their physical and social environment. The founders of the State of Israel envisioned that the country would initiate extensive changes in the way its citizens interacted with their environment: they anticipated major modifications in their economic and political behavior, their family life, their attitudes toward their bodies, their relations with their neighbors, their religious outlook, and their view of their place in the world. They expected further that these changes would find concrete expression in literature, art, music, architecture, and intellectual life, all of which would promote their vision of how the State's population should behave. However, for all that they looked forward to cultural change, Israel's founders did not imagine that the environment to which the new culture was supposed to help Israel's citizens adapt would itself change profoundly. In the sixty-five years of its existence Israel has had to confront many challenges, brought about, among other things, by rapid mass immigration, periodic wars, shifting geopolitical alignments, transformation of the global economy, and sweeping technological innovations. The course will analyze these farreaching changes in the context in which the new Israeli culture has functioned and investigate how that culture has responded to them.

VAN DYKE has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Kevin Mattson Connor Study Professor of Contemporary History Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT VAN DYKE, IAN E., M.A., August 2016, History Rapture and Realignment: The New Christian Right and American Conservative Views of Israel Director of Thesis: Kevin Mattson This thesis examines the ways evangelical Protestant views of Israel shaped perceptions of the Middle East among the wider American conservative movement during the second half of the twentieth century, as well as the centuries-old ideas underlying their idiosyncratic worldview. Motivated by God’s promise to Abraham to “bless those” who showed favor to his progeny and fascinated by Israel’s role in End Times prophecy, politically conservative evangelical Christians worked tirelessly to promote the cause of the Jewish State to their American audience. As they gained influence within the American conservative movement, the rhetoric of New Christian Right activists like Jerry Falwell, Tim LaHaye, and Pat Robertson helped redefine Israel in the conservative imagination. In crafting an apocalyptic worldview that translated Israel’s spiritual significance into secular politics, the New Christian Right transformed American conservatism in ways still visible today.

Ellsworth and Sarah M. Harris THE AMERICAN RIGHT WING A Report to the Fund for the Republic, Inc. by Ralph E. Ellsworth and Sarah M. Harris Price: $1. 00 University of Illinois Graduate School of Library Science 1960 L- Preface Because of the illness and death in August 1959 of Dr. Sarah M. Harris, research associate in the State University of Iowa Library, the facts and inter- pretations in this report have not been carried beyond the summer of 1958. The changes that have occurred since that time among the American Right Wing are matters of degree, not of nature. Some of the organizations and publications re- ferred to in our report have passed out of existence and some new ones have been established. Increased racial tensions in the south, and indeed, all over the world, have hardened group thinking and organizational lines in the United States over this issue. The late Dr. Harris and I both have taken the position that our spirit of objectivity in handling this elusive and complex problem will have to be judged by the report itself. I would like to say that we started this study some twelve years ago because we felt that the American Right Wing was not being evaluated accurately by scholars and magazine writers.

  • Arab Propaganda in the United States
    ARAB PROPAGANDA IN THE UNITED STATES by MIZRA KHAN 1'.rtnn ,. Li6rarg tf Cattrtor Zvee J1lroni ' 'p· ·- Printed in th@ U.S.A. by SHULSINGER BROS. LINOTYPING & PUBLISIDNG Co. 21 EaBt 4th St., New York 3, N. Y. Arab Propaganda in the United States I THE LAws of libel and slander limit the free- dom of speech of one individual in his attack on his fellow. In the world of business, the makers of one product may not attempt to boost its sales by unwarranted criticism of the products of a rival manufacturer. In the field of propaganda-especially international propa­ ganda-no hol-ds are barred. All too frequently, the yardsticks of truthfulness and objectivity are discarded. All too frequently, the only con­ sideration by which the strategist of propaganda is guided, is the limit of his audience's credulity. The only further limitation the professional propagandist puts on his written or oral output, is that of his own personal inhibitions. The history of Arab propaganda activities in this country is a clear case in point. It is a mix­ ture of genuine attempts to improve the Arabs' position in the eyes of American public opinion, and of indiscriminate attacks and smears on all their adversaries in the international arena. It is a mixture of endeavors to win important and respected segments of American society by em­ phasizing the value and potentialities of the Arab World, and of unholy, opportunist and clandes­ tine alliances with rabble rousers, designed for the sole purpose of undermining the position of Jews in this country-and thereby the position of Israel.

  • The U.S. Recognition of Israel: a Bureaucratic Politics Model Analysis
    The U.S. Recognition of Israel: A Bureaucratic Politics Model Analysis Nilay Saiya Political Science Villanova University The outsider believes a Presidential order is consistently followed out. Nonsense. I have to spend considerable time seeing that it is carried out and in the spirit the President intended. Inevitably, in the nature of bureaucracy, departments become pressure groups for a point of view. If the President decides against them, they are convinced some evil influence worked on the President: if only he knew all the facts, he would have decided their way. –Richard Nixon1 The bureaucratic politics model holds that each bureaucracy in the federal government has institutional beliefs it is seeking to maximize. The competition is based upon relative power and influence. I seek to examine how these competing bureaucracies helped influence U.S. foreign policy toward Israel during the Truman administration. Specifically I hope to address the following question: How does the bureaucratic politics model explain the United States decision to recognize Israel? According to bureaucratic politics theory, decisions are determined not by rational choice or chief actors but through a give-and-take bargaining process conducted by various parties of the government. Rather than unitary actors, this model maintains that governmental decisions are the result of individuals or organizations vying for position and power. Therefore, the outcomes are a direct result of bureaucratic competition. Prominent scholars of the bureaucratic politics model
