THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Readers Forum issue an analysis of the Black Hebrews by the re- spected black leader Bayard Rustin who calls "their shepherd" Ben-Ami Carter a dictator, without moral principles, and of the same ilk as Hitler and Stalin. Mr. Rustin, heading the black group BASIC, spent many days researching the situation with the U.S. Em- Nobody s_ 11' chain° for ,.( Shop around and compare. Then bring us your best price. We beat it.

This elite group concluded that there is "no official racism" in Is- rael, and supported Israel's policy against continued il- legal infiltration of tourist groups to join the Black He- brews. He wisely advised that the Israeli Customs, in their precautionary meas- ures, exercise "impeccable conduct and dignity" so that it may not be perceived as racist and thus aggravate anti-Israel propaganda. The above, however, does not end our sharp differences with J. A. Lewin who contradicts all current and historical facts. Is Mr. Lewin un- aware of the revelations in "Heritage Seekers," by Israel Gerber, that this Ben-Ami Carter used blackmail to obtain money for kashrut in Chicago; that he mig- rated to Liberia as a "soul Muslim" and was de- clared to be a parasite by the Liberian government; that this group in a pre- arranged plot descended upon Israel in the night at the airport — men, women, and children — and demanded to be taken care of as the right- ful inheritors of the land of Israel; that they con- nived to multiply by il- legal infiltration as tourists; that they even suggested that the pre- sent Israelis be deported; that they raided a super- market, taking the value of thousands of dollars in goods, and , staging scenes for photographers for anti-Israel prop- aganda; That the mayor and citi- zens of Dimona, at first helpful, soon learned they were dealing with parasites masquerading as reli- gionists; that this group re- fused the option of conver- sion if they wished the bene- fits of the Law of Return; that this group prays to Jesus, practices polygamy, and were found. fornicating on the steps of their apart- ment buildings; that they are akin to the Jones cul- tists who ended in mass suicide in Guyana. How can Lewin speak of Israel neglecting them when the government was not consulted and was even defied? Instead of seeing Ben- Ami Carter as a pernicious dictator, Lewin calls him "a charismatic shepherd of the flock" and goes on, "like waiting for Redemption as he sat down on a leopard skin throne with an expres- sion of long suffering for- bearance." What mush! Was the reporter stricken with _ the spell of the cult when he has the effrontery to compare the group, who thought after the '67 War that it was "chic to be 1 BURGLAR ALARMS Black Hebrews Article Contradicts Facts Editor, The Jewish News: The article by J. A. Lewin published in the Jewish NeWs Jan. 30, is an ex- tremely tendentious, distor- tion of the truth. Lewin manages to cast Israel, not as the victim of deception, opportunism, , and blackmail, but in the role of imperialist oppressor.

Mr. Lewin should prove his credibility or apologize to the Jews in Israel and the Diaspora for his numerous presumptions. • Central Station Station Monitoring Thousands of satisfied customers ro ra Dr. Milton J.
