s the "left" the only right
choice for American Jews?
This issue was brought to
the foreground by a recent ad-
vertisement by the new maga-
zine Tikkun that aims to re-
place the prestigious Commen-
tary, now in existence 46 years,
because it is neo-conservative.
The editor, Michael Lerner,
was not content to add his voice
as another expression in con-
temporary Jewish life.
But to our dismay he arro-
gated to himself the role of
being the only legitimate "al-
ternative" to correct Jewish
thought and opinion. The title
in Hebrew clearly reveals the
editor's intent, namely: "To fix,
to repair, to improve." His im-
plied message is clear: a
Jewish magazine should ex-
pound the ideas of the left polit-
ical spectrum, otherwise it is a
deviation.
Elie Wiesel and Robert Alter
resigned from the board of Tik-
kun, the former stating: "I do
not like the aggressive tone
against Commentary, and
magazines should not be
created against other maga-
zines." Elie Wiesel accurately
expressed our sentiments.
As we review the recent his-
tory of Jewish dependence on
the liberal element, we are im-
pressed with numerous disap-
pointments. Karl Marx, the
apostle of socialism, the
grandson of a rabbi, turned
against his people with a feroc-
ity matched by Hitler. Because
of his closeness to academic
circles, he influenced many
important figures against the
JewS.
In post-World War I Poland,
the Jewish left — the Bund —
opposed Palestine as a refuge,
and preached Socialism. In dis-
couraging emigration to Pales-
tine the Jewish left thus in-
creased the number of poten-
tial Holocaust victims.
During World War II
Roosevelt, the darling of lib-
eral Jews, rejected every plea
to attempt saving some of the
Jews in Germany, and even re-
fused entry to a shipload of ref-
ugees fleeing the Hitler in-
ferno.
The British Labor govern-
ment and the infamous "White
Paper" closed the doors to
Palestine, thus sealing the fate
of those trapped in Europe.
What occurred in Soviet
Russia in the last years of the
Stalin rule is well known. His
paranoid "doctors plot" and the
murder of many Jewish intel-
lectuals were the most out-
rageous crimes against inno-
cent Jews. It was small comfort
to the dead victims that they
were later "rehabilitated."
The Soviet attack against Is-
rael after the Six-Day War was
unprecedented in fury. The
Soviet could not forgive Israel

for not committing suicide to
further Russian hegemony in
the Near East.
The experience in the United
States has similar overtones.
With few exceptions, notably
Bayard Rustin, black leader-
ship adopted a resolution in
1968 critical of Israel's resis-
tance to annihilation in the
Six-Day War.
When reminded of the tre-
mendous moral and financial
support by Jews to Civil
Rights, including the sacrifice
of lives, some blacks responded
that the Jews are motivated by
a "bad conscience."
We noted that the left-
dominated Democratic party
refused to adopt a simple reso-
lution condemning anti-
semitism because it might
have alienated Jesse Jackson.
Two left Michigan con-
gressmen, Conyers and Croc-
kett (for whom this writer once
voted) are clearly PLO
apologists.
It is disheartening to learn
that the magazine The Nation,
should spout anti-semitic ver-
biage. Gore Vidal used The Na-
tion to accuse Podhoretz of
Commentary of loyalty only to
Israel, and challenged his right
in a "host-country" to be criti-
cal of Vidal whose ancestors
fought in the Civil War. It was
indeed a "brazen racist hate"
attack against a prominent
Jewish leader and loyal
American.
Podhoretz states that "the
right is trying to expel anti-
semitism from its ranks, and
the left is giving them a home."
In summary, we may state
that our vigilance must be di-
rected against the extremism
of the right as well as of the
left. Currently, however, the
reality is such that the anti-
semitism of the left is the most
visibly active.
However, we as Jews must
not abandon our traditional
pursuit of justice and compas-
sion, with emphasis on dignity
and self-reliance — and we
must continue to participate
with all the progressive ele-
ments of both parties.

Not Ready
For Full Ties

Brussels, (JTA) — Foreign
Minister Marian Orzechowski
of Poland said that his country
cannot reestablish diplomatic
relations with Israel under
existing conditions, though it
was moving in that direction.
Israel and Poland.recently es-
tablished mutual interest sec-
tions in Warsaw and Tel Aviv,
respectively:
Addressing a press confer-
ence at the end of a two-day
official visit to Belgium, Or-
zechowski maintained that the
causes that led Poland to break
ties with Israel after the 1967
Six-Day War still exist. He
cited the Middle East conflict
and the Palestinian issue.
