down — the Soviet Jewry
movement.
There is also a consistent
voice on the right — fueled by
many of the ex-refuseniks —
warning against accommoda-
tion with Moscow and calling
for a less compromising
position.
The "center" — the organiz-
ed Jewish communal frame-
works responsible for for-
mulating and executing
policy on Soviet Jewry — has
recognized the need to ex-
plain where and how the
changes in Moscow have fail-
ed to address Jewish con-
cerns. It has pointed to low
emigration figures and the
new regulations as violations
of the Helsinki accords that
undermine the trust without
which an arms control pact is
impossible.
The center has argued
against the left that without
linkage, Jews forfeit the only
leverage than can be applied
to Moscow, and against the
right, that superpower accom-
modation does not threaten
but offers opportunity to fur-
ther the cause of Soviet Jews.
But it has shied away from
publicly setting the terms for
a deal.
On the unfolding American
debate, opponents and ad-
vocates of accommodation
with Moscow have focused
their arguments on an assess-
ment of whether changes in
Soviet policy are already
substantial enough to war-
rant corresponding con-
ciliatory steps by Washington
on trade and arms.
Writing in a recent issue of
the New Republic, essayist
Charles Krauthammer at-
tempted to go beyond the
limits of that debate by
delineating the point at
which Ameiican conser-
vatives should agree to "call
off the Cold War."
Krauthammer assigns a
major role in the global con-
flict to the power of ideas and
ideologies, concluding that
before conservatives must
challenge their own assump-
tions and end the Cold War,
the Soviet Union must
undergo a (highly unlikely)
process of "de-Leninization."
But the history of the Soviet
Jewry movement suggests
that an overemphasis on the
role of ideas can blind one to
an opportunity for pragmatic
compromise.
The Soviet Jewry move-
ment has yet to articulate
what changes in Soviet
behavior would warrant ton-
ing down the pressure it
generates against Moscow. It
has been said that the ques-
tion can be reduced from the
ideological level to a mere
statistic — the annual
number of emigrants re-
quired to suspend the
Jackson-Vanik amendment.
If the "center" is correct,
progress for Soviet Jewry does
not depend on a major revi-
sion of the Soviet system, but
on concrete and quantifiable
steps the existing Soviet and
American regimes can take.

Peres Defends
Egypt's Conduct
Jerusalem (JTA) — Foreign
Minister Shimon Peres last
week defended Egypt's con-
duct against critics in the
Knesset who claimed an inci-
dent along the Sinai border,
in which an Israeli soldier
was slightly wounded, show-
ed that relations with Cairo
have deteriorated.
Peres stressed that the
Egyptians have taken the in-
cident seriously and are
cooperating with Israel in an
investigation of what hap-
pened and the lessons to be
drawn.
The incident occurred when
an Israel Defense Force
patrol, investigating a breach
in the border fence, came
under grenade and small
arms attack from unknown
persons. The wounded soldier
was hospitalized. The foot-
prints of two men were found
leading to the fence and back
to Egyptian territory.
Jews Prefer
Quality Services
Waltham, Mass. —
"American Jews have chang-
ed their basic mode of interac-
tion with Jewish organiza-
tions," says Dr. Gary A. Ibbin,
director of the Cohen Center
for Modern Jewish Studies at
Brandeis University. "Rather
than behaving like par-
ticipants who join, support
and maintain membership in
Jewish institutions out of
loyalty to the Jewish com-
munity, American Jews today
act like consumers, shopping
for specific services which can
be provided by Jewish com-
munal institutions."
Dr. Tobin, an expert in
demographic studies of
American Jewish com-
munities, asserts that the
potential market for Jewish
services is quite large. "Most
American Jews prefer ser-
vices offered under Jewish
auspices."
Despite this preference,
Jewish individuals will not
utilize services simply
because they have Jewish
sponsorship.
