He stressed further, "While advice and criticism should be open and be re- garded as legitimate, it must be given under the prior understanding that the final decision rests with those who have to bear the consequences of any policy or political or military deci- sion," meaning Israelis. Herzog's position on an issue which developed into a major theme dur- ing the week-long con- ference, seemed to fall somewhere between a declaration by the dele- gates asserting "the right of Diaspora Jews to exer- cise a vigorous involve- ment in issues which concern their fellow Jews living in the Jewish state" and the blunt statement by Energy Minister Yitzhak Modal, in his address to the gathering last week, that Diaspora Jews "have no right to get involved in political debates con- cerning Israel's secu- rity." Modai delivered that in- junction a few evenings after Rabbi Richard Hirsch, executive director of the World Union, spoke out forcefully "in support of the right of Diaspora Jewry to have a say in Israel's domes- tic and foreign policies." Hirsch referred specifi- cally to the controversy over Israeli settlement policies on the West Bank and their consequences. The dele- gates appeared upset by Modai's comments. President Herzog inti- mated in his speech that the way for Diaspora. Jews to widen the scope of their influence over affairs in Is- rael is to cease being Dias- pora Jews and settle here. He recalled that then Premier David Ben- Gurion "said 35 years ago that there was nothing to prevent you from in- creasing your consti- tuency by immigrating from abroad _which would give you a stronger and perhaps more decisive voice within the framework of the difficult debate in this country and could thus influence the deelop- ments in Israel in the di- rection desirable to you." Nevertheless, Herzog ob- served, "Your non-Jewish environment has decided, whether you like it or not, and many probably don't like it, to identify you with Israel, for good or for bad. As a result of that, Israel can- not dare ignore the effects of HAIFA (ZINS) - Life ex- pectancy on Israel kibutzim is the highest in the world, and two years longer than the rest of Israel. Men on kibutzim can now expect to live 73 years and seven months; women, 78 years and six months. our policy and actions on world Jewry. This leads me to the conclusion that you always have and continue to have a right to express an opinion about what is hap- pening is Israel and about Israeli policy."
