Boris Smolar's `Between You . . and Me' Editor-in-Chief Emeritus, JTA (Copyright 1983, JTA, Inc.) ELECTION RESTRICTIONS: Jewish non-profit organizations which, like all non-profit organizations, have tax exempt status, and are forbidden by Internal Revenue regulations to influence election campaigns. Jewish federations, community councils and organiza- tions in the tax exempt category scrupulously avoid any activity in behalf of or in opposition to any candidate. The prohibited activities include, among other things, the nam- ing of awards or giving citations to political candidates during or immediately prior to a campaign for public office. They also proscribe the holding of public functions in honor of such candidates; the use of the organization's mailing list in behalf of a political candidate, or loan of such lists; and the use of the organization's letterhead, facilities, or fund- raising machinery. JEWISH POLICY: As in the past, major Jewish organizations will continue this year their policy of abs- taining from taking a position on candidates running for the White House. This will apply to the candidacy of Jesse Jackson who has a record of espousing positions and mak- ing statements on issues of vital interest to the Jewish community that many observers consider insensitive and troubling, particularly his reported statements on the Mid- dle East and on black-Jewish relations in the United States. Jackson did not hesitate to meet with a group of Jewish leaders soon after announcing his candidacy last month as a Democratic Party Presidential hopeful. There was noth- ing new about his pro-Arab stand. Contrary to Jackson's allegations regarding black-Jewish relations, the Jewish vote has played a pivotal role in the recent election of the black mayor in Chicago, in the mayoralty primary in Philadelphia and in the gubernatorial race in California. In Chicago, Harold Washington, running against a Jewish candidate, received 35 percent of the Jewish vote. This was higher than the vote by any other white ethnic group and twice as high as the overall white vote for Wash- ington, which was 18 percent. In Philadelphia's Democratic primary for mayor, Wilson Goode received only 23 percent of the white vote, but was supported by 50 percent of Jewish voters. In California, Tom Bradley received 42 percent of the overall white vote but was supported by 75 percent of Jewish voters. JEWISH FEAR: There seems to be no danger that Jackson could be elected President or even nominated by the Democratic National Convention to run for President. There are stronger candidates in the party. What the lead- ers of major American Jewish organizations fear is that Jackson's propaganda during the election campaign is likely to develop tension in the black population, if he injects his views that disturb Jews during his campaign. Jewish organizations will seek to minimize possible black-Jewish confrontations over Jackson's candidacy. The Jewish Defense League is the only Jewish group that indi- cated it will attempt to disrupt Jackson's speaking engagements. A group calling itself "Jews Against Jackson," under the aegis of the JDL, has announced its intention to form chapters in every community. However, the National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council (NJCRAC) has advised its constituent groups to be alert to local efforts of the JDL. The NJCRAC is concerned about efforts by anyone to dispute public appearances of any political candidate. It believes such tactics undermine the democratic process. It also believes that the public posture taken by the JDL will be counter-productive and damaging to Jewish interests. The American Jewish Committee, one of NJCRAC's constituents, anticipating that tensions are likely to de- velop in the 1984 election campaign, is now preparing a six-point program, "Election '84," aimed at avoiding prej- udice, preventing intergroup conflict, and analyzing the impact of the political action committees which finance candidates in their election campaigns. Both Tunis and Morocco are traditionally American al- lies and are known for their moderate attitudes in the Middle East conflict. Ac- cording to reporters accom- panying him, Shultz seemed taken aback by the strong local opposition. Meanwhile, in Sodom, two visiting U.S. Con- gressmen brought unset- tling news from Cairo where they found Egyp- tian President Hosni Mubarak angered by Is- raeli government policies and clearly dismayed by the closer military and economic alliance be- tween the United States and Israel. They appar- ently failed to convince him that Egypt had noth- ing to fear from the new relationship between Washington and Jerusalem.

Syria Protest NEW YORK (JTA) — About 30 persons held a demonstration and prayer service for the American Marines and other victims of terrorist attacks in Leba- non outside the Syrian Mis- sion to the United Nations last week and demanded that the U.S. break dip- lomatic ties with Syria.
