We would t have left our jobs if our claims were Israel condemned not punished for raid on iraqi reactor Kirkpatrick qualifies vote by Jeff Endrst Winnipeg free press United nations the in Secu Rity Council yesterday condemned but did not punish Israel for its destruction of an iraqi nuclear Plant near Baghdad on june 7. The 15-nation Council voted unanimously for a Resolution which says that Iraq is entitled to appropriate re dress for damages and confirms its right to run nuclear programs for peaceful but the Resolution does not contain any punitive measures against Israel. Neither does it include an Appeal to the United states and other Western coun tries to Stop providing Israel with technology and weapons which could enable it to repeat similar acts against its Arab neighbors in the future. After the vote israeli ambassador Yehuda Blum told the Council that Israel will treat this Resolution with the respect it so richly he had previously said that Iraq should not expect a single brass Farthing from Israel in reparations. Iraqi foreign minister Saadoun Ham Madi bemoaned the fact that the adopted Resolution lacked a Call for Manda tory sanctions against Israel As most Arab moslem and non aligned coun tries demanded throughout the week Long debate. Blames . Hammadi blamed the weakness of the Resolution on the United states for first supplying Israel with Maxi mum degree of military nuclear and economic Aid and then holding the threat of veto As protective weapon Over Israel s interests. He reserved Iraq s right to take the Issue to the in general Assembly which could presumably suspend Israel s voting rights in that body. . Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick seemed to qualify american support for the Resolution by saying that Israel s attack on the iraqi nuclear facility violated the in charter Only in that Israel failed to exhaust peaceful Means for the Resolution of this Dis she also said nothing in this Resolution will affect my government s commitment to Israel s Security and nothing in these reservations affect my government s determination to work with All govern ments of the Region willing to use appropriate Means to enhance the peace and Security of the when it was All Over the diplomatic consensus was that the Resolution negotiated chiefly by Kirkpatrick and Hammadi despite the fact that Washington and Baghdad Don t have Diplo Matic relations represented a rare Compromise which did not damage anyone s vital interests. It affords Iraq to claim a moral Victory without meting out any unduly harsh punish ment for Israel. Diplomats were Quick to note that Iraq was not in the strongest moral position to demand too much from the Council which is yet to condemn it for its aggression , or respond to Iran s demands for reparations from Iraq for damage caused to its Oil Fields and refineries. The . Delegate later told a press conference that her negotiations with Hammadi May provide a marginal boost to the chances of Success of the Philip Habib s Mission which is to get syrian missiles out of Lebanon through diplomatic Means before Israel seeks a military solution.
