agreed that the "Japanese are
not inveterately anti-
Semitic."
Goodman referred to "this
recrudescence of anti-
Semitism" as the "dreadful
state to which our relations
have fallen."
He suggested several
avenues of recourse. Above
all, he disagreed with a recent
published commentary sug-
gesting that Jews boycott
Japanese products. Such a
move, said Goodman, "would
only serve to exacerbate ten-
sion between America and
Japan."
He counseled toning down
anti-Japanese rhetoric, and
such demonstrations as
destroying Toshiba products
which followed disclosure
that the Japanese electronics
firm had sold machine parts
to the Soviets.
Specifically, said Goodman,
cultural, as well as economic,
ties should be stressed. "The
Japanese feel they have gone
more than halfway, and the
Americans have not respond-
ed," he said.
Goodman also suggested
that the Japanese "find a dif-
ferent play than The Mer-
chant of Venice for teaching
Shakespeare." Kunihiro nodd-
ed vigorous assent.
"None of this now," con-
tinued Goodman, "would
have been possible had there
not been this anti-Semitic
substrata — Shylock, the
grasping Jew" in Merchant of
Venice.
He also proposed inclusion
of a unit on the Holocaust in
the school curriculum as "a
powerful deterrent" and urg-
ed active criticism of anti-
Semitism by Japanese Chris-
tians and Buddhists. "Surely
they have not done so," he
charged.
Also important, agreed
Goodman and Kunihiro,
would be the dissemination of
positive information on Jews
and Jewish culture by
Japanese synagogues and
clubs and the Israeli Embassy
in Tokyo.
Goodman also advocated
that others like Kunihiro
speak out forcefully on the
subject. The Japanese in-
tellectuals who have spoken
out, he said, "are few in
number, isolated and embit-
tered."
"What is at stake here,"
said Goodman, "is not Jews,
Judaism, Jewish lives, but
Japanese democracy. And I
think the Japanese owe it to
themselves to speak out in
their own self-defense.
