U.S. Jewish Leaders
Divided Over Blame

TOM TUGEND

Special to The Jewish News

L

os Angeles — The pro-
fessional pulse takers
of the American Jewish
community are comparing
notes in a four-day meeting
and a preliminary reading
shows a split diagnosis on
who is to blame for Israel's
deteriorating image.
During the opening session
last Sunday of the National
Jewish Community Relations
Advisory Council (NJCRAC),
advocates were fairly evenly
divided between those who
put the responsibility on
Israel's tactics in handling
Arab stone throwers in Gaza
and the West Bank and
others who blamed the dis-
torted picture presented by
the American press and
television.
On hand for the lively
exchanges were 450 lay and
professional leaders
representing NJCRAC's 113
local and 11 national agen-
cies dealing with community
relations throughout the
United States. Less concern-
ed with the image than the
substance of Israel's policy
was Dr. Yossi Beilin, director
general for political affairs in
Israel's Foreign Ministry and
an influential adviser to
Foreign Minister Shimon
Peres.
The confrontations in the
territories, Beilin said, have
forced both the United States
and Israel to put the Pales-
tinian problem back on top
of the agenda. The two coun-
tries, both facing national
elections this year, would
have been happy to just main-
tain the status quo, but this
option is no longer possible
for Jerusalem or Washington.
Beilin attributed the new
Arab militancy in the ter-
ritories to the change in
generations.
"The older generation (of
Arabs) could compare the oc-
cupation under Israel to that
under Egypt or Jordan, which
was worse," said Beilin, but
the rock-throwing teenagers
lack that perspective. These
youngsters "compare Gaza
and the West Bank to Tel
Aviv and Haifa, and to them
that's like New York or Los
Angeles."
Beilin was to have been
joined at the session by Con-
gressman Lee Hamilton,
chairman of the House Sub-
committee on Europe and the
Middle East. At the last mo-
ment, Hamilton was asked by
Secretary of State George

Shultz to join him for con-
sultations, apparently in
preparation for Shultz' trip to
the Middle East.
Burton Levinson, national
chairman of the Anti-Defa-
mation League, set the tone
for a concern close to his
listeners when he complained
that he was "sick and tired of
American Jews who take
their case (against Israeli
policy) to the general press.
Too many Americans believe
that this debate (among
American Jews) is a sign of
disunity," he warned.
On the brighter side, Levin-
son reported that an ADL poll
taken in late January show-
ed that support for Israel
among Americans in general
was as high as ever.
In some lively statements
from the floor, a woman from
Palm Beach, Fla. urged that
all Israeli leaders be packed
off for two days for in inten-
sive course in public
relations.
In response, Beilin seemed
unruffled. He said, yes, Israeli
leaders are aware of their
image problems abroad, but,
he added "this is not a PR
question, we must solve real
political problems.
"The friends of Israel," he
concluded, "are first friends of
peace. It is difficult to have so-
meone as a friend who will
send my son to the next wars'

Envoy's Remark
Causes Stir

Tel Aviv (JTA) — Israel's
Foreign Ministry demanded
an explanation Tuesday of
remarks by the Norwegian
ambassador to Israel, Tbrleiv
Anda, that unfavorably com-
pared the acts of Israeli
soldiers in the West Bank and
Gaza Strip to the Nazi oc-
cupiers of his country during
World War II.
Ibrleiv, quoted by Israel
Radio, said that Norway was
under occupation for five
years, "but we cannot
remember, or I cannot
remember, seeing German oc-
cupation troops taking people
and beating them in the
street, breaking their arms or
less, or taking children from
their homes in the dead of
night."
The Norwegian envoy later
said that he had spoken in
reply to a specific question
and did not intend to liken
the actions of Israeli soldiers
in the administered ter-
ritories to those of the Nazis.
