That is the unfortu- nate tendency exhibited by many writers and commen- tators, who are Jewish, to either bend over backwards not to show any partiality toward Israel or to indulge in self-flagellation and be- come overly critical. This is nowhere more ap- parent than in Washington where the Washington Post is read regularly by Con- gressmen, government offi- cials and opinion makers. Without the competition of another major daily since the demise of the Washing- ton Star a year ago, the Post's readers have been fed a steady stream of provoca- tive headlines, biased news coverage, sensationalist photos and critical columns and editorials, much of it cranked out by Jewish jour- nalists. It is no wonder some dis- gruntled readers have begun referring to the newspaper as the "Palestine Post" (with apologies to the original paper of the same name — now the Jerusalem Post). * * * Some of Israel's key supporters in Congress who are not so well known — but who have played vital roles — have already been defeated in primaries or have de- cided to retire. Heading the list are two long-time members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee from different sides of the aisle, Rep. Jonathan Bingham, Demo- crat of New York, and Rep. Edward Derwinski, Repub- lican of Illinois. Due to the outcome of the New York Congressional redistricting, Bingham was forced to run against an- other incumbent Democrat, Rep. Mario Biaggi. Bin- gham was convinced of the futility of such a contest and is not running. He played a leading role on the commit- tee for the past 17 years, and his articulate and eloquent voice will be missed. the GOP Senate nomina- tion. He was a particu- larly persistent and vocal critic of the PLO. * * * Although it is being outs- pent by its larger rival, the Democratic National Com- mittee is emerging from the party's 1980 debacle with renewed vigor — and strong support for Israel. Under the leadership of its chair- man, Charles Manatt, head of a top Los Angeles law firm, the DNC produced an excellent foreign policy statement at its recent "mini-convention" in Philadelphia. Among other things, it states, "Israel remains more than a trusted friend, a steady ally and sister democracy. Israel repre- sents a strategic asset to the United States, protecting and defending U.S. inter- ests in a unstable region of the world against encroachment by the Soviet Union and against potential threats to Western nations' vital oil supplies." With regard to Lebanon, the statement added, "In- ternational terrorism has been dealt a severe blow and Soviet influence has been reduced. The Democratic Party believes that the United States should exert every effort to reinstate Lebanese sovereignty and Israeli security." This welcome DNC statement is in contrast with a report put out by the Center for National Policy — which has been described as a Demo- cratic "think tank" — and attributed to the former Secretary of State, Cyrus Vance, his deputy, War- ren Christopher, and Harvard Prof. Stanley Hoffman. To give some "flavor" of this report, it states inter alia, "The fundamental obstacles to peace are Israel's refusal to move in the direction of a settlement of the Palestinian problem entailing self- determination for the Another redistricting Palestinians . . ." It will be more than just a plan, this one in Illinois, forced Derwinski into a matter of interest to see primary against incumbent which course the Democrats Republican George O'Brien. take in the months ahead — The new district was much and what bearing this could more favorable to O'Brien, have both on the future di- who defeated Derwinski rection of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East, and the last March 16.
