Reader Answers Bienstock Editor, The Jewish Jews: Victor M. Bienstock's col- umn "Israel, American Jewry — Separate Entities" (Jewish News, Oct. 9) is an exercise in self-effacement. Stung by President Reagan's 'intemperate and ill-conceived remark that "it is not the business of other nations to make American foreign policy," which implicitly criticized Israel's alleged involve- ment in the AWACS ton- troversy, Bienstock seeks to dispel the notion that American Jews' "first loy- alty" is to the state of Israel, "not the country of his birth or acquired citizenship." The columnist seems to be haunted -by the spectre of "double loyalty." In affirming the undi- luted "Americanism" of the American Jewish commun- ity, the author lashes out against the anti-Semites for perpetuating this myth and indicts the Israelis, who, out of their "continuing ignor- ance of America and of the American Jew," are "guilty" of misreading the degree of American Jewish attachment to Israel. "They should have known;" Bienstock seems to be saying, "that the American Jewish community is not an Is- raeli colony." We believe Mr. Bienstock "cloth pro- test too much." What is not disconcerting about Mr. Bienstock's "dis- sertation" is that it at- tempts to resuscitate the discredited premises and conclusions of Jewish apologists and "super- patriots," who, instead of reacting with dignity and pride to those who — for political expediency or op- portunism — question the loyalties of the American Jewish community, choose to ingratiate themselves by lowering the visibility of the American Jewish commun- ity as an identifiable ethnic entity. Thus, Mr. Bienstock postulates that "probably no more than 10 percent of American Jews belong to Jewish organizations"; that "the Zionist belief . never penetrated deeply into the American Jewish masses, nor even into the leadership," hence "our in- terest (in Zionism) has been religious-inspired and philanthropically moti- 'voted." He chooses to ignore such illustrious Ameri- can Jewish leaders as Brandeis, Stephen S. Wise, Abba Hillel Silver and others, who on cru- cial occasions articulated the sentiments of the overwhelming majority of American Jews; and he glosses over the fact that approximately one mill- ion American Jews plus their families are pre- - sently affiliated with or- ganized Zionism in the United States. Mr. Bienstock's "anemic" perception of Diaspora- Israel relations does not conform to the genuine feel- ing of partnership and in- terdependence which per- meates American Jewish relations with the state of Israel. Ezekiel Leikin Friday, October 16, 1981 19 Anti-Semitic Incidents Reported at Swiss Gym GENEVA (JTA) — A 16- year-old Jewish youth was severely injured when he and two other members of the Bnei Akiva in Basel were accosted by a group of Swiss youths in the locker room of the local sports center.- Police are investigating the incident and the anti- Semitic inscriptions that appeared on the locker room walls several days earlier. The three Jewish youngsters, all wearing yarmulkes, were dressing after a handball game when several local Swiss youths demanded to know, "What are you Jews doing here? How come you were not burned in the gas cham- bers?" The contented man never poor. Caricatures for your party By SAM FIELD Call 399-1320 Nobody diamo for les- gA Shop around and compare.
