New Administration 'Closes
Gap' in U.S.-Israel Policy
By YITZHAK RABI
UNITED NATIONS
(JTA) — While no major
changes -in U.S. policy
toward Israel at the United
Nations are expected as a
result of the change of Ad-
ministrations in Washing-
ton, diplomatic sources
here predie4 nonetheless
that the Reagan Adminis-
tration will bring a change
of style in its dealings with
the world organization that
will be favorable to Israel.
According to these
sources, in the last four
years there was a gap be-
tween Washington's pro-
nouncements • concerning
Israel and the U.S. pro-
nouncements at the UN.

During those four years, the
sources noted, U.S.' repre-
sentatives at the UN
courted the Third World
countries and as a result,
toned down their pro-
nouncements of U.S. sup-
port for Israel. This gap, in
the view of the diplomatic
sources, will now be closed.
The forthcoming change
in U.S. dealings with the
Third World was clearly ex-
pressed by the New Ameri-
can Ambassador-designate
to the UN, Jeane Kirkpat
rick in a Commentary Mag-
azine article of November
1979 in which she stated
that "A position of continu-
ous self-abasement and
apology vis-a-vis the Third
World is neither morally
necessary nor politically
appropriate."
Mrs. Kirkpatrick's two
predecessors, Ambas-
sadors, Donald McHenry
and Andrew Young, were
known for,their courting
of the Third World at the
UN which many times
operated to the disadvan-
tage of Israel. The new
American envoy has al-
ready declared that she
doesn't see her role at the
UN as a molder of foreign
policy.
"I have a very strict con-
structionist view of an Am-
bassador," the former
Georgetown University pro-
fessor said in a recent inter-
view. "The job of UN Am-
bassador is to represent -the
policy of his/her govern-
ment without qualification
of ambiguity, to do it as per-
suasively as possible. I do
not expect to be making pol-
icy in New York. The Re-
agan Administration and
the Haig State Department
make policy."
She added, however, that
she hoped "to have some
input through the Cabinet"
on U.S. policy at the UN.
Nazi Is Charged
WASHINGTON — The
U.S. has filed suit to revoke
the citizenship of Talivadas
Karklins of Monterey Park,
Calif., who reportedly was
the commander of a Nazi
concentration camp in
Madona, Latvia.
regard to its future. Part
of the leading group
wants to convert the
movement into a political
party, others strongly ob-
_
ject to this idea.
Some observers feel that
Peace Now in fact 'A ccom-
plished its task two years
ago — but its young 1 aders
refuse to realize thal their
role in Israel public lie has
ended.
Peace Now was ( stab-
lished as a direct rest It of a
letter sent by 320 an iy re-
serve officers to Premier
Menahem Begin in Vlarch
1978. On the same day Ezer
Weizman, then Minister of
Defense, threatened to re-
sign if Begin did not stop a
would-be settlement opera-
tion at one of the "heart-of-
Samaria" sites.
The letter, signed by out-
standing and unquestiona-
bly patriotic army officers
— some of them had won
military decorations
warned the premier thLt if
he continued to prefer the
idea of "Greater Israel" to
achieving peace with Egypt,
these officers might no
longer be able to identify
with the country's
Though far-reaching
(in some people's eyes too
far-reaching), this was an
obviously honest and
sincere appeal stemming
from an authentic feeling
of frustration that the
chance of peace with
Egypt might be missed
due to the government's
policy. The genuineness
and the honesty of the
officers' letter were the
key to their tremendous
political success.
Four months after the
visit of Egyptian President
Anwar Sadat to Jerusalem,
the officers' letter seemed to
reflect the basic feelings of
most Israelis.
The consequence was that
the 320 reserve officers
evolved into a political
grass roots group, which
rapidly accumulated public
power and financial re-
sources.
However, instead of re-
presenting clear and crys-
- tallized positions, the Peace
Now leaders choose some
vague terms to define their
ideological approach
towards the future of
Judea and Samaria and
the status of the Palesti-
nians.
This vague terminol-
ogy is not accidental. It
stems from the fact that
the leaders of the move-
ment have differences of
opinion among them-
selves concerning these
complicated issues.
The result of this am-
biguity and confusion is a
weak and unconvincing
movement. The Peace Now
apparatus still reacts from
time to time to various polit-
ical events. Its leaders pub-
licly air their internal dif-
ferences, and they are no
longer able to woo signific-
ant public support for their
sporadic acts of protest. Too
often the Peace Now young
leaders remind one of the
actors who missed their cue
to leave the stage.

This limited response
seemed to reflect what
many observers feel is
Peace Now's loss of popular-
ity and support among wide
circles of the Israeli public.
Something in the public
image of the movement has
been tarnished: the Peace
Now activists are now seen
as semi-professional politi-
cians rather than
enthusiastic idealists — as
they were considered two
years ago.
' In recent interviews,
the Peace Now leaders
exposed something of the
movement's confusion.
They admitted that the
movement is searching
for a path, trying to crys-
tallize a consensus
among its leaders with

By UZI BENZIMAN
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
The Peace Now movement,
which came into being dur-
ing 1978 with the specific
purpose of pressuring the
Begin government to make
concessions to Egypt during
the peace negotiations,
seems today in a state of
confusion as to its future.
The movement, which
succeeded in turning out
more than 100,000 people at
its mass demonstration in
Tel Aviv on the eve of the
Camp David conference,
failed to draw more than
1,000 several weeks ago
when it organized a "protest
march" against what it
termed the government's
"obstinate positions" in the
autonomy talks.
