THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS

Hart, Mondale Have Good Records on Israel

By MORRIS AMITAY
WASHINGTON — The
New Hampshire President-
ial primary and the Maine
caucuses have propelled
Senator Gary Hart of
Colorado into the headlines.
Naturally, he has also be-
come the subject of closer
scrutiny from the American

Jewish community.
Hart, now "officially" 47
years old, was first elected
to the Senate in 1974, and
re-elected handily in 1980.
He first came to national at-
tention as campaign man-
ager of Senator George
McGovern's dismal 1972
Presidential campaign. But
unlike McGovern, whose
views on the Middle East
have frequently dismayed
supporters of Israel, Hart
has been a consistent friend.
He made his mark as an
early and ardent advocate of
reducing U.S. dependence

on imported oil, and has also
been an influential member
of the Armed Services
Committee.
Hart regularly votes for
foreign aid bills containing
substantial sums for Israel
and has described U.S. sup-
port for Israel as a "moral
and strategic commitment."
Hart was a co-signer of
the famous Senate "Let-
ter of 76" aimed against
the Kissinger-Ford "re-
assessment" of U.S. rela-
tions• with Israel. He op-
posed both the F-15
AWACS sales to Saudi
Arabia. Hart has not mis-
sed many opportunities
to speak out on behalf of
Israel during Senate de-
bate, and was one of few
to publicly express sym-
pathy for Israel's de-
struction of the Iraqi nu-
clear reactor two years

ago.

Later, he initiated a letter
to President Reagan oppos-
ing an anticipated arms sale
to Jordan and issued a sup-
portive statement regard-
ing Israel's military opera-
tions in Lebanon. However,
he also publicly expressed
concern over Israeli respon-
sibility for the killing of
civilians in the two refugee
camps in Lebanon.

With regard to the U.S.
military role in Lebanon
and elsewhere, Hart has
exhibited uneasiness over
the use of force. His early
calls for withdrawing the
Marines from Lebanon
demonstrated an inability
to recognize the challenge
posed by Syrian/Soviet-
backed aggression and the
serious implications their
success would have for U.S.

influence in the Middle
East.
Hart's reactions to Leba-
non are in marked contrast
to the restraint shown by
Walter Mondale who
seemed to have more of an
understanding of the
Marine presence and the
threat posed to both U.S.
interests and Israel's secu-
rity by a Syrian-Soviet
takeover of Lebanon.
More than a year ago,
in evaluating Hart's
Presidential prospects I
wrote, "In sum, Hart has
a strong record of sup-
port — and a future in na-
tional politics extending
beyond 1984. As of now,
his prospects for the 1984
nomination are rated be-
hind those of Mondale
and Glenn. But if Jimmy
Carter in 1976 taught us
anything, it's that no
horse is too dark!"
While Hart's candidacy
may or may not turn into a
horse of another color, for
the moment at least, Israel's
friends in this country can
be reassured that the two
leading Democratic candi-
dates have overall positive
records of support on issues
of concern.

The Administration re-
cently notified Congress of
its plans to sell_Jordan more
than 1,600 shoulder-fired
Stinger anti-aircraft mis-
siles worth $133 million, as
well as 2,000 of the same
mobile sophisticated heat-
seeking missiles to Saudi
Arabia for $141 million.
Secretary of Defense Cas-
par Weinberger has been a
strong proponent of the mis-
sile sale. He has consis-
tently supported the sale of
sophisticated arms to
enemies of Israel based on
the double-flawed rationale
that these shipments will
solidify U.S. ties with the
"moderate" Arab nations
and that the weapons will
not be used against Israel.
Throughout the Rea-
gan Administration,
Weinberger, time and
again, has demonstrated
an unremitting hostility
toward closer U.S.-Israel
ties. Whether it was by
limiting contact between
American and Israeli
forces in Lebanon or his
unhappiness over a show
of force against Syria,
Weinberger will prove to
be an albatross around
the neck of President
Reagan in his bid for
Jewish support for a sec-
ond term.
Weinberger's curious per-
formance whenever Israel is
involved has unfortunately
substantiated many of the
doubts expressed by Israel's
supporters at the time of his
appointment. Even more
ominous are the rumors in
Washington that Wein-
berger would replace
George Shultz in a second
Reagan Administration.
This only goes to prove the
old adage: when things are
bad, they can always get
worse.

Language is the dress of
thought.

Kibutz Life
and Old Age

JERUSALEM (ZINS) —
Kibutz life contributes to
longevity, according to a
Haifa University study.
A kibutz woman at age 50
can expect to live an addi-
tional 31 years, while the
average Israeli woman at
age 50 can expect to live an
additional 27.9 years.
A 50-year-old man living
on a kibutz can expect to
live to age 78, while the av-
erage Israeli would live to
age 75.
Kibutzniks are believed
to have increased personal
satisfaction and usually
have their children and
grandchildren living on the
same kibutz. Other factors
contributing toward long
life, the researchers said,
are the rural life, continued
occupation and physical ac-
tivity.

Children's Book
for Passover

A delightful children's
story for Passover has been
written by Evelyn Zusman.
"The Passover Parrot"
(Kar-Ben Copies) describes
how the family parrot,
Hametz, learns the Four
Questions and distupts the
family Seder by taking the
Afikomen.
"The Passover Parrot" is
beautifully illustrated in
black, white and green by
Katherine Janus Kahn. Her
illustrations fill most of
each page and add much
enjoyment for young
readers.
Mrs. Zusman teaches He-
brew school in Los Angeles
and has written several
children's books and
teacher's manuals.
