Anti-Zionist Council for Judaism
Attacks American Jewish Committee
NEW YORK (JTA) - The
American Jewish Committee
came under a severe attack
from the American Council for
Judaism for asserting that the
propaganda activities of the•
ACJ , "are dangerous to the
status, and even the security of
American Jews."
The American Jewish Com-
mittee, in analyzing the public
relations activities of the anti-
Zionist American • Council for
Judaism, declared publicly that
-ACJ methods "do not serve the
best interests of Am e r i c an
Jews." It also charged that the
ACJ "provides propaganda fod-
der to anti-Semites."
"Studies conducted by the
American Jewish Committee
over the past decade, and con-
firmed more recently by inde-
pendent analyse s, indicate
plainly that the Council's public
relations activities do not merely
fail to cancel out the detri-
mental impressions created by
Zionist positions and appeals;
worse than doing no good, they
actually do harm. They add to
the damage both by what they
say and how they say it," the
AJC analysis said.
"In general, it is beneficial
to emphasize concurrence be-
tween Americans who are Jew-
ish and all , other Americans.
But it is hurtful to single out
undesirable actions of a seg-
ment of the Jewish population,
as is done by the Council pub-
licly, concentrating on their
invidious aspects and ignoring
the background of surrounding
circumstances against which
such actions should be ap- •
praised," the AJC statement
pointed out.
Replying to the charges voiced
by the American Jewish Corn- ,!
mittee, Clarence L. Coleman'
Jr., president of the American
Council for Judaism, said in a
press statement: "If the AJC
attack means anything at all,
it means that what has long
been a guerrilla war against
the Council has now been legi-
timized."
Mr. Coleman announced
"emphatically" that the Ameri-
can Council for Judaism "will
not be silenced" in its efforts
to reach all Americans with • its
views because "a few in the
lunatic fringe of our country's
life use our material as they
use the material of the Ameri-
can Jewish Committee itself."
He reiterates his organization's
usual views on "Jewish na-
tionalism," its attack on the
Jewish Agency and on leaders
of the United Jewish Appeal.
"Despite generalities with
which the American Jewish
Committee speaks and which
sometimes sound like the prin-
ciples of the Council, it is now
clear that the Committee would

like to impair the work of the
'Council; perhaps to destroy it
if it were in the power of the
Committee to do so," M. Cole-
man cloncluded.

Eisendrath Rebukes
Anti-Israel Slurs
as 'Anti-American'
An attack by the president of
the American Council for Juda-
ism upon presidents of national
Jewish - organization, for their
interceding in Israel's behalf in
recent weeks, received a sharp
reply this' week from Rabbi
Maurice N. Eisendrath, presi-
dent of the Union of American
H e b r e w Congregations. Dr.
Eisendrath declared:
A hasty glance at Mr. Cole-
man's letter produces the im-
pression that he has blasphe-
mously impugned the loyalty
of these people and of the
leading Jewish organizations
of America and has libeled
virtually the entire, American
rabbinate without citing any
real facts to support his con-
tention that the utterance of
opinions about the Middle
East constitutes "politicaliza-
tion of our faith.", •
It is a tradition of Judaism
to evaluate the moral impli-
cations of national and inter-
national events. Apparently
Mr. Coleman would snuff out
that prOphetic tradition so
sacred to both Christians and
Jews. It is a privilege and a
duty of Americans to express
their views about the course
our nation takes and, if moved
I.y convictions concerning • the
welfare of America, to give
voice to them even if they are
temporarily at variance with
the
- 7 - • L' the highest
officers of our government.
Apparently, t h e American
Council for Judaism would
throttle that right. A more
anti-American doctrine, one
more calculated to lead to
ethical paralysis, cannot be
imagined.
