THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS — Fr iday, April 22, 196 0- 14 The Suburban Community Even a Song of Freedom Can Hit an Occasional Sour Note By the Oak-Woodser How wonderful to sing the songs of freedom, to rejoice in the deliverance from oppress- ing forces, to be mindful of the God-given right to seek fulfillment in such ways as we desire. This is the way we celebrated Passover during the past week. And during our post-seder dis- cuSsions, after the children had gone to bed, many of us talked of the multitude of places where people are not yet free. We spoke of South Africa and Apartheid; of Russia, where freedom chokes on fear; of our own Southland, which yet per- sists in policies of segregation. Over 3,000 years and some men still need to be taught that their fellows were born to be free—bound not by shackles, but only loosely re- strained in the gem-like brace- lets of human decency. Freedom, because it safe- guards the rights of the in- dividual, unfortunately means that sometimes we must bear with the rabble-rousers and trouble-makers who use the _ very word "freedom" to de- clare their intent to promote fascism. And here we are posed with the real puzzler. How far should one go in allowing a bigot, a crackpot, a peddler of hate to use democratic pro- cesses to espouse causes that are its antithesis? And how are we, as Jews in a country founded upon and dedicated to freedom, to react to a man who uses the public streets of the nation's capitol to espouse our annihilation? There is no such problem to be faced in a totalitarian state, where if one espouses opposite causes one is dead— - if not physically at least po- litically. But here, a Faubus can speak of running for the Presidency or a Rockwell can organize an American Nazi Party. So subtle is this aspect of our democracy that even our major Jewish defense agencies have differences of opinion. And Jewish attorneys of the American Civil Liberties Union are asked to defend—and feel an obligation to do so—a hench- man of Rockwell in a bizare court case involving a street fight with a Jewish leader. One of our leading agencies says that Rockwell and his numbers are so small that every bit of publicity is a boost not only to his ego but to his organization. Another agency arches - its back at his every phrase and would expose his every deed of notoriety for the anti-demo- cratic mouthings of a sick in- dividual. By ignoring a Rockwell, you risk the • spread of his venom to other misguided people, especially in areas where there are no Jews and even less understanding of Judaism. Yet, if you fight him, you feed his vanity and establish an atmosphere of martyrdom that wins him a larger audience and perhaps even some sympathy from those who fail to understand the threat he makes to free- dom. What you hope will happen is that he'll get laughed right off his street corner. That, un- doubtedly, is the only real solu- tion, -and it can't be made only by Jews Bnai Moshe Sets Youth Program WORRIES?? PROBLEMS??
