FREE GIFT WRAP he sees they'll pass overwhelm- ingly and because he has to as a senator from such a heavily Jewish state as Illinois. Percy, however, points to those and similar votes to refute "my political opponents who have tried to paint me as a person un- sympathetic to Israel. It isn't true. My record of support for military and economic aid to Israel proves that it isn't true. Every year, I have worked hard to be helpful to Israel, to Soviet Jewry and to the American Jewish community." Acknowledging that the Jewish community has not always agreed that some of his positions have been helpful to Israel, Percy says "I care enough about Israel not to want to see it stumble in the mis- takes that could be, in a sense, the bankruptcy of Israel and the end of U.S.-Israeli relations. I am a friend of Israel. But I have always felt free to exercise the same right as a member of the Knesset or the Jerusalem Post to criticize some of Israel's actions." Percy recently exercised the right to oppose transfering the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem. In explaining his opposition, Percy said, "Jewish people are the most intelligent people I've ever known, but they are also extraor- dinarily emotional. On that par- ticular issue, they are wrong, wrong, wrong." When asked by the Jewish Times to explain how that fits in with what he calls his "deep con- cern for Israel," Percy said, it "shows that I'm emotional too. I respect the community's emo- tional caring for the people and the State of Israel. In fact, I share it." Percy added that his goals in the Middle East are "to assure the security and survival of Israel and to promote an Arab-Israeli peace for the benefit of all of the states of the region." In doing that, he said, the criticism he now receives from the Jewish community is similar to the criticism he received in 1975 "when I visited President Sadat in Cairo and urged him to take a step toward peace with Is- rael. When I told that to a Jewish group in Chicago, the roof fell in on me. One leader told me, `Sadat is a Nazi and I wonder about you.' Well, the Egyptian-Israel peace may not be perfect but it is better than a state of war. I want to work for peace because I care deeply about the security and well-being of Israel." Percy has been working hard to get the support of the Jewish community. He began by enlist- ing the aid of long-time New York GOP Senator Jacob Javits. Now retired, Javits, who is an avid supporter of Israel, wrote a fund- raising letter for Percy that said the Illinois incumbent "repre- sents the very best in American political life. He is a man worthy of our respect and support." The letter was signed by 59 prominent Illinois Jews. Among these were A.N. Pritzker of the Hyatt Hotels Corporation, Joseph Block of Inland Steel, and Lester Crown of General Dynamics. Percy has also received financial support from the Jewish commu- nity, receiving close to the
