M T.U.A. 13,397 W T.U.A. 12,857 20 FRIDAY, JULY 10, 1987 Reform, Conservatives Zionist Election Winners DAVID HOLZEL Staff Writer The Reform and Conser- vative movements' Zionist organizations scored the big- gest gains in the election of U.S. delegates to the 31st World Zionist Congress, in- dicating a strong concern for religious pluralism in Israel among American Zionists. In results announced Wednesday by the American Zionist Federation, the Association of Reform Zionists of America will send 33 delegates to the Congress, an increase of 19 delegates over the 30th Congress. The Conservative Meicaz will be represented, for the first time, by 20 delegates. The only other gains were scored by the Labor Zionist Movement, which picked up two delegates, for a total of 15. The election's big losers ap- pear to be the Zionist Organization of America and the Federation of Hadassah, B'nai Zion, American Jewish League for Israel and Young Judea. The ZOA will send 12 delegates to the Congress, a loss of ten seats; Federation will send 48, a loss of 21. Karen Rubinstein, ex- ecutive director of the AZF, which conducted the election, told The Jewish News elec- tion results appeals "are already in the works." The final delegate count may dif- fer slightly from the announc- ed results, she said. Nine lists vied for 152 American seats — roughly one-third of the total number of seats at the Congress, which is set to convene in Jerusalem in December. Over 900,000 ballots were mailed to registered American Zionists; 227,014 ballots were returned. The voting was supervised by the indepen- dent American Arbitration Association. According to Rubinstein, a firm called Equifax verified the validity of the returned ballots. "Equifax took a random sam- ple of each organization's membership lists to verify . whether names they submit- ted enabled them to vote." Religious Zionists of America, Americans for a Progressive Israel and the In- dependent Students for Israel all received "significant penalties" by the verification firm for having inaccurate lists. ZOA received a "small penalty" and the Federation - received "virtually no penal- ty," Rubinstein said. Other election results in- cluded: Independent Students, no delegates, no change from the last Con- gress; Herut-Techiya- Sephardic Movement, nine delegates, a loss of four; Americans For Progressive Israel, one delegate, a loss of one; and Religious Zionists, 14 delegates, a loss of five. Election results show that "the largest number of "The largest number of American Zionists now have no affiliation with Israeli political parties." American Zionists now have no affiliation with Israeli political parties," Rubinstein said. The vote showed that religious pluralism in Israel is the top priority of American Zionists, she em- phasized. "Over -one-third voted on religious pluralism" — that is, supported ARZA and Mercaz, which campaign- ed on that single issue. In ad- dition, "Federation and Labor support religious pluralism." Ironically, religious pluralism has never been a top agenda item in Israel, a situation which is now chang- ing due to Diaspora pressure, Rubinstein said. In the up- coming World Zionist Con- gress, "Israelis will have to deal with an American delegation that will fit less and less than in the past into the Israeli political system." General Work Stoppage Looms In Israel Tel Aviv (JTA) — A three- day strike that blacked out radio and television ended last week, and Egged buses, threatened with a system wide shutdown, were rolling. But it was only a breathing spell while Israelis await the outcome of wage negotiations which will determine whether there will be a general strike of public employees. Breathing was difficult in Tel Aviv where uncollected garbage gave off noxious aromas. Garbage-truck driv- ers have been on a slow-down
