TO 12 MIDNIGHT SEVEN DAYS A WEEK I WASHINGTON — "The domestic constituency for anti-Israel work in the United States is noisy but diminutive," according to a new report by the American Israel Public Affairs Com- mittee (AIPAC). But, "the effort to mobilize large numbers of Americans to the Arab cause has failed," the report finds. In the 160-page study, "The Campaign to Discredit Israel," AIPAC outlines the strategy and tactics used by enemies of the Jewish state to undermine support for Is- rael in America. Focusing on the "artifi- cial constituency" which forms the backbone of sup- port for anti-Israel activity in the United States, the AIPAC publication finds some major strengths and weaknesses in the effort. It reports that the campaign has found it particularly dif- ficult to recruit Arab- Americans of Christian- Lebanese extraction f.who comprise about 80 percent of Americans of Arab des- cent) largely because this population is not attracted to organizations sympathe- tic to the PLO and Syria. In addition, Israel's de- tractors have had only limited success in build- ing coalitions with non- Arab groups, and there is a disproportionate re- presentation of more militant and extreme organizations and indi- viduals in their ranks. Lakcing a large domestic constituency, the study finds that the campaign has relied, to a considerable ex- tent, on the services of foreign agents and former diplomats paid by various Arab governments and the Arab League to express the anti-Israel message in an American idiom. It has also been successful in getting corporations with extensive business interests in the Arab world to play a more active role in influencing U.S. Middle East policy- making. Although anti-Israel ac- tivity in the United States "reached a new level of in- tensity" during the war in Lebanon, according to AIPAC, the campaign to discredit Israel in the United States "seems to have been a rather dismal failure," in spite of the most favorable climate for anti- Israel propaganda in mem- ory. Citing favorable public opinion polls, Congres- sional elections, and in- creases in aid to Israel, AIPAC concludes that the campaign's greatest weak- ness "seems to be the lack of a large and mainstream American constituency committed to their cause," as well as "the strong and natural bond between the United States and Israel." The third in a series of monographs analyzing various aspects of the U.S.-Israel relationship, "The Campaign to Dis- credit Israel" contains both an analysis of recent anti-Israel political ac- tivity in the United States and an alphabetical di- rectory of Israel's detrac- tors. The directory pro- vides background infor- mation on organizations and individuals who are active in the effort to weaken the bonds be- tween the United States and Israel, who seek to enhance U.S.-Arab rela- tions at the expense of Is- rael, or who perform paid services to Arab govern ments purusing these go- als. "The Campaign to Dis- credit Israel" is available from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, 444 North Capitol St., N.W- Suite 412, Washington, D.C. 20001. There is a charge for the publication. Senior Service Corps Gives Extra Help to Sinai Hospital In November 1978, the Jewish Vocational Service (JVS), in cooperation with Sinai Hospital, developed a program whereby senior citizens could volunteer. This program provides the hospital with auxiliary help, while giving senior citizens a worthwhile proj- ect. Highly motivated indi- viduals with a need to vol- unteer were recruited, and the Senior Service Corps came into existence. Seniors with a desire to remain productive and active, even those with hearing or vision limita- tions, are likely candidates for volunteer work. "Even if a senior citizen has limited mobility, he or she can still be very useful," explained Director of Volunteer Serv- ices Cindy Lustig. "Some of the seniors well into their 80s are as active as younger volunteers." Some of the seniors work in the linen pack room folding and wrap- ping surgical sponges and towels. The Gift Shop uses members of the Senior Service Corps for sales and merchandising work. The mail room and dietetics department also use senior volunteers. "Senior volunteers don't let their physical limita- tions. prevent them from lending a hand," said Roberta Donaldson, direc- tor of supply processing and distribution (SPD), who coordinates the volunteer activity in her department. The manual activity such as sorting and packing equip- ment, invoice slips and supplies is good therapy for arthritis sufferers, says Donaldson, and at the same time it provides essential services for the hospital. The Senior Service Corps is more than just a volun- teer program. After morn- ing work hours, the volun- teers get together for lunch and a business/social meet- ing. Group discussions on current events and health issues are led by Barbara Peltz, coordinator of the program at Sinai. Sam Fischer, who is le- gally blind, has volunteered at Sinai for four years. He explained, "This is not work. This is our social club and we are like one big fam- ily. We look out for each other and care about each other." Some members of V VP As a participant in the Senior Service Corps< created by the Jewish Vocational Service in cooperation with Sinail Hospital, Lillian' Lichtenstein folds surgi cal linens at the hospital. the corps have established long-lasting friendships and have formed travelli groups. As volunteer Bessie Leach, who just celebrated an "80 plus" birthday, said. "My volunteer day is my favorite day. I wouldn't miss Mondays for anything. Even if I go on vacation, I schedule my trip around my volunteer days." Bertha Fischer volun- teers with her husband, Sam. "We do it because we're needed. We're not in- dispensible, but we try to make the workload easier and help Sinai deliver the best care." 7,000 Youths Visiting Israel JERUSALEM — Most o the 7,000 American Jewish youths who applied at the Israel Program Center o the American Zionist Yout Foundation in New York for the 1983 summer programs of the Youth and Hekhalutz Department of the World Zionist Organization have already arrived in Israel. They will spend more than a month in a variety individual programs that include scuba diving Eilat, professionally super- vised tennis at Israel's in- ternationally known Rama Hasharon Tennis Center archeological digs i Jerusalem, science base programs at Hebrew Uni versity and other activities.
