60 Friday, January 22, 1982 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Torczyner Advises American Jews to Make Views Known NEW YORK — Jacques Torczyner, chairman of the Herzl Institute of the World Zionist Organization- American Section, advised American Jewry that "As long as there are six million Jews in this nation, Israel will be intimately con- cerned with the United States and the fact that most of these Jews are of voting age, means the United States will be con- cerned with Israel. "If the Reagan Adminis- tration has written off the Jewish vote, then we are in trouble. The poison of anti- Semitism let loose during the AWACS disagreement must not frighten or deter us one iota from our con- stitutional right and re- sponsibility to express our views and to exert every influence on issues that af- fect our country's interests and security." Torczyner, who made his comments during an assembly at the institute, also predicted a tilt toward Saudi Arabia by the Administration in 1982. "We must gird ourselves JACQUES TORCZYNER for the Reagan Administra- tion's tilt to Saudi Arabia that is in the offing. Our counter-attack must be a nationwide educational campaign that will convince the American people of the tremendous economic, polit- ical and security sacrifices of Israel in the Sinai made in its pursuit of peace. "1982 will be a troubling and trying year for Ameri- can Jewry and Israel," he said. "However, I believe we will manage. And the best way for us to cope is to send a clear signal to the Ad- ministration. It must know where we stand, and it will respect us when we tell it forthrightly and deter- minedly how we feel."
