funds for politicians.
And AIPAC has had its
problems with various Israeli
goverments. Prime Minister
Shimon Peres was not happy
about AIPAC's aggressive op-
position last year to the
Reagan Administration's pro-
posed arms sale to Jordan.
Asher said that AIPAC sup-
ports the elected government
of Israel. "And we make no
choice as to who is the
government of Israel," he
said. "That's Israel's job:
that's what Israeli elections
are for. Our job is to work
with whichever government is
there. And to be as helpful as
we can in helping them
understand the American
Jewish community's posi-
tion."
'
But probably the most
often-heard complaint about
AIPAC from the traditional-
ly liberal and Democratic
centers of the Jewish com-
munity is that its single-
minded support for pro-
Israeli politicians, even those
opposed to so many other
issues of Jewish concern, was
bad.
Some of these critics have
created MIPAC — or the
Multi-Issue Political Action
Committee — in an effort to
counter this growing percep-
tion that the Jewish com-
munity is strictly single-
issue. MIPAC will give money
only to proIsraeli candidates
— but only those who also
support the traditionally
liberal "Jewish" positions on
such issues as prayer in
shools, abortion, separation
of church and state, poverty
programs, etc.
AIPAC, like most of the
pro-Israeli PACs, sees itself as
supporting both liberals and
conservatives, Democrats
and Republicans. The only re-
quirement is that the politi-
cians support Israel. "This
whole business of single issue
has become a monster," said
Asher. "What people don't
understand is that single
issue isn't a philosophy, it's a
strategy. It's an effective
method of advocacy."
Does AIPAC have too high
a profile today? "I think we're
far more sensitive in the way
we do things today," Asher
replied. "We're not aggressive
in the sense of threatening.
We are aggressive in the sense
of advocacy, and I think
that's proper."
That no-nonsense approach
is becoming increasingly evi-
dent among younger Amer-
ican Jewish activists involved
in AIPAC.
Young Americans, especial-
ly college students, have
come to play an increasingly
aggressive and important role
in American politics. In the
American politics of the
Arab-Israeli conflict and the

The 91 /2 hourfilm by Claude Lanzmann.

SHOAH ("annihilation – in Hebrew) is one of the most important,
affecting, talked-about films of the decade. It is Claude Lanzmann s
monumental epic on the Holocaust.

SHOAH contains none of the horrifying images we expect from a
film about the Holocaust. Instead, we are presented with an assem-
blage of witnesses — death camp survivors and Nazi functionaries —
whose combined testimony amounts to one of the most shattering
human documents ever recorded.

SHOAH tells the untellable, makes us believe the unbelievable. Yet
SHOAH is never morbid — it is infused throughout with seemingly
miraculous appreciation for the beauty and meaning of life.

SHOAH is an experience you'll never forget.

From the actual sites of Auschwitz, Chelmno and Treblinka to loca-
tions in 14 countries, this nine-and-a-half hour film brings together
the wrenching testimony of the survivors, the perpetrators and the
bystanders:
— SS officers. filmed using hidden cameras. who served in the
camps
— Polish villagers who tilled their fields within yards of the
crematoriums
— a Jewish camp barber forced to shave the heads of those con-
demned to die

"Extraordinary . . . SHOAH is simply one of the greatest
films ever made. Don't miss it!"
Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert
