JERUSALEM (JTA) —
A new moshav, called

Michael Hazani, was in-

in Britain. The charge
was made during a dis-
cussion of the activities of
the' Anglo-Israel
Chamber of Commerce at
a national "Solidarity
with Israel" conference.
Monty Sumray, a prom-
inent fund, raiser for Is-
rael, said that the Jewish
community should
boycott companies which
succumbed to the Arab
boycott of Israel and "sh-

tops on every possible oc-

dealing with it discreetly
was not successful, he
said. . ,
Lewis
Goodman,
chairman of the Chamber
of Commerce, denied that
the Chamber's anti-
boycott committee was
being passive, but said
the Jewish community
"should not stoop to a
counter-boycottb "
