1. We condemn the antidewish
e blacklist."
We have fought too long and too hard to root out discriminati
from Our land to sit idly while foreign interests import bigotry
into America. Having suffered so greatly from such prejudice,
consider most repugnant efforts by Arab states to use the
economic power Of their newly acquired Oil wealth to boycott
business firms that deal with Israel or that have Jewish
owners, directors or executives, and to impose any-Jewish
preconditions for investments in this' country.
2. We befieve blacks and Jews
have common interests in
democracy and justice.
In the fight against discrimination, black Americans and
American Jews have shared profound and enduring common
interests that far transcend any differences between us.
Jews through individuals and organizations have been among
the most staunch allies in the struggle for racial justice,
sharing with us the conviction that equality is indivisible and
that no minority is secure in its rights if the rights Of any
are impaired.
3. We support democratic
Israel's right to exist.
The democratic values that have sustained our struggle in
America are also the source of our admiration for Israel and he:
impressive social achievements. No nation is Without
imperfections. But Israel's are far outweighed by the freedom
of her democratic society. Only in Israel, among the nations Of
the Middle East, are political freedoms and civil liberties
secure. All religions are free and secure in their observance.
