Speaker Challenged Anti-Semites Criticized.

Arthur Teitelbaum, director of the Florida regional office of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith yesterday condemned "gutter-level anti-Semites" in Palm Beach. Referring to a meeting held Sunday at the Palm Beach home of Countess Francesco Guardabassi, which was reported in The Post.

Teitelbaum challenged the qualifications and statements of the speaker Issa Nakhleh. Nakhleh, he said, is not connected with the United Nations. "The Palestine Arab delegation is a propaganda agency which has absolutely no official standing in or relationship to the United Nations.'' he said. "It is a creation of the Arab Higher Committee for Palestine, which is an organization of the ex-Grand Mufti ot Jerusalem, who had ties with the Nazis during the Second World War " Nakhleh told an audience of nearly 100 persons Sunday, "Zionists are working behind the scenes in this country to involve you in the Mideast war." "The shocking remarks made by Nakhleh." said Teitelbaum, "reflect the time-worn anti-Semitic propaganda positions which reveal nothing of the truth about the Middle East, but reveal a considerable amount about the speaker." Nakhleh made reference to the Rev. Billy Graham's support of Israel. Teitelbaum noted. "And I think this reflects the overwhelming support of Christians in America including the thousands of Protestant ministers whom Nakhleh condemns for the continuance of Israel as a viable nation a nation where Christian and Jew and Moslem alike enjoy a religious and cultural freedom which is exemplary for all the nations in the world."</blockquote></ref>
