I have Joined the gentleman in his previous special orders on this subject to express my own views on this timely and important matter. But I cannot agree with some of the comments he has expressed about Israel today. and which I feel are worthy of further reflection. I refer to the gentlemans remarks linking German reparations to Jews with his call for greater response by Israel to Arab refugee claims. I realize that by no stretch of the imagination did the gentleman infer there could possibly be a connection. But I do fear a misinterpretation of his remarks in suggesting such analogy. Any such interpretation equating gas ovens of Auschwitz and the brutal genocide of the Nazis against 6 million Jews. with Israeli response to the Arab refugee aggression. would be a disservice to history. I am confident. of course. that Mr. ROOSEVELT. whose distinguished record as a humanitarian in this House is unequaled. never intended any such meaning and will recognize the justice of the point of my remarks.
