By SIMON GRIVER
World Zionist Press Service
JERUSALEM — The fact
that more German gentiles
visit Israel than American
Jews is a matter of great
pain for Arieh Zimuki.

For this reason Zimuki
established the Zionist
Council in Israel back in
1972, aiming to rekindle
Zionist fervor • amongst Is-
raelis, who would in turn
persuade their Diaspora
counterparts to take a closer
interest in Israel.
"Traditionally, the mo-
ment they move to Israel,
many Israelis have tended
to disregard Zionism," la-
ments Zimuki. "They no
longer see the relevance of
thier links with the Jewish
people outside Israel."
A Jerusalemite for
more than 40 years,
Zimuki has lived through
wars, siege and division.
But although the city has
developed immeasurably
for the better since
reunification in 1967, the
Israeli journalist feels it
is not always looked
upon, either by Israelis or
by the Diaspora, as the
capital of the Zionist
state.
The Zionist Council hopes
to persuade Jewish and
Zionist federations abroad
to hold all their conventions
in Jerusalem. The Council
also has plans to raise fi-
nances for a Zionist Center,
perhaps on the lines of Tel
Aviv's Beth Hatefutsoth
which reflects the story of
the Diaspora. The center
would contain facilities for
Zionist educational and in-
formational activities as
well as depicting the little
known story of Zionism
through modern tech-
niques.
This "Jerusalem Lobby"
is the latest program on the
agenda of the Zionist Coun-
cil which in 10 years has be-
come an influential force
within the world Zionist
map. There are 30 branches
around the country, mostly
in development towns, in-
volving tens of thousands of
Israelis. At last year's con-
vention 850 elected dele-
gates attended.
Zimuki himself sits on the
executive of the WZO
(World Zionist Organiza-
tion) and the 36 members of
the Zionist Council's execu-
tive are chosen by 85 public
bodies in Israel. Eleven
study centers for young
people have been estab-
lished around the country
and seven Nahar settle-
ments set up. Under the
council's auspices
thousands of children are
taken to vacation work on
kibutzim and allocated pen
pals in the Diaspora.
The council relies
mainly on voluntary
work. Zimuki himself ful-
fills the role of chairman
without salary, working
out of the council's mod-
est Jerusalem office for
an average of eight hours
a day. At the same time he
remains one of the most
widely read political
commentators of the Is-
Facts are to the mind,

nalists.
Married with two daugh-
ters, one a lawyer and the
other a journalist, Zimuki
recently became a grand-
father for the first time.
Zimuki squeezes a lot of
action into 24 hours. He is a
Zionist leader who leads by
example.
