(Editor's note: Eric 11Thonman, a labor MP, is chairman of the Zionist Federation of Great Bri- tain and Ireland. This arti- cle was written specially for the Jewish Telegraphic Agency). British .Jewry has grumbled its way through the past 30 years at the apparent failure of community organiza- tions in this country to re- flect adequately the needs and ideas of the - community they serve. Not all the 410,000 Jews in Britain know what they want: Some have even drifted away from their religion, never to re- turn, while the involve- ment of others in com- munity activities is only a token one. But there is still a substantial number of Jews who want to see a more organized, more coordinated structure for community decision- making, and who want to see the Jewish commun- ity in Britain making a. real contribution in sup- port of Israel. For too long we have lived from one crisis to the next, which has meant that we have failed to analyze the how and why of decision-making. Successive generations in this century have chal- lenged the Jewish estab- lishment for a time and while some then worked within the system, many were discouraged and were lost to the commun- ity. A number of us believe that there is now a greater desire for change in the Diaspora than any time in this Century. If we are to exploit this desire, then we must learn to understand, identify and encourage the young (and this means all up to 40) to share in the decision-making proces- ses. We cannot — and must not repulse it. It is against this background that the Sol- idarity with Israel Year was launched. Following the United Nations re- solution equating Zionism with racism, the Israeli Prime Minister's Jerusalem Conference gave us the opportunity to get closer together. As a result, the nine rep- resentatives from Britain decided to maintain the . momentum of that con- ference and to continue to work together. The result of this cooperation is a campaign which has made a remarkable im- pact, Quite unique any- where in the world. As a follow-up to the Jerusalem Conference, the British community held its own Solidarity with Israel Conference earlier this year, and for the British community it has reaped the same be- nefit as the parent con- ference did for those de- legates who attended the original. The delegates to the London Conference left with new determination to work together and with even greater commit- ment to help Israel. Sol- idarity with Israel means two things in particular: first, it means making more effective use of our resources, and secondly, it means recognizing and advancing the process of change in our communal and Zionist organiza- tions. On both counts, we have begun to work more read- ily and more willingly to- gether. The need to break down organizational bar- riers and to reduce the power of the "makhers" is not confined to Britain. My knowledge, experience and love for the United States demands that I stress that unless the or- ganizations of American Jewry and the "makhers - within them adopt a set of priorities which are relev- ant to contemporary needs and encourage a broader degree of participation with their members, we shall witness a crisis of confidence which will un- dermine their good inten- tions and the very services provided. On the question of mak- ing better use of man- power and ideas the sol- idarity conference was very practical. For exam- ple, we have launched a number of critical pro- jects. Let me just men- tion one. The Israel Products MRS.
