Editor
C
onrad Giles, president
of the Jewish Welfare
Federation, had an
opportunity to ask a question
directly of Israeli Prime
Minister Yitzhak Shamir on
Monday, courtesy of a satel-
lite hook-up from New York
just before Shamir returned
to Israel.
Dr. Giles asked how UN
Resolution 242, which calls
for the withdrawal of Israeli
forces from occupied land, ap-
plies today, and the prime
minister responded that Is-
rael is still committed to the
Camp David agreements, bas-
ed on UN Resolutions 242
and 338, which calls on the
parties to participate in peace
talks.
During the 45-minute
closed telecast of the Jewish
Satellite Network, operated
by the Council of Jewish
Federations and beamed to 25
North American federations,
the prime minister was
politely challenged to clarify
and justify his views by North
American Jewish leaders.
He broke no new ground,
maintaining his firm stance
regarding peace talks, but
cast his U.S. visit in the most
positive terms. He said he was
"very satisfied" with his
talks in Washington "with
our friends President Regan,
Secretary Shultz, the Vice
President and members of
Congress," adding that he
was "encouraged by the un-
shakeable friendliness,
despite some differences!'
In stressing common goals,
Shamir said that Israel and
the U.S. share a commitment
to finding a peaceful resolu-
tion to the Arab-Israel dis-

For American Jewry

p
rime Minister Yitzak
Shamir's forceful re-
quest this week that
American Jews support posi-
tions being taken by the
Israeli government as a moral
duty and not ask their
government to pressure Israel
into changing its opposition
to an international peace con-
ference has some Detroit
Jewish leaders caught bet-
ween speaking their minds
and holding their tongues.
As president of the Jewish
Community Council of
Metropolitan Detroit, Leon
Cohan serves as unofficial
spokesman on an array of
issues, including Israel and
its relationship with the
Diaspora.
But Cohan's personal views
on the wave of unrest in Gaza
and the West Bank, and on re-
cent proposals by Secretary of
State George Shultz, are "a
minority opinion" and not
necessarily reflective of the
position of the Council, corn-
prised of representatives from
approximately 300 local
Jewish organizations.
The Council has not
adopted a formal position on
the unrest, the proposed
peace plan advanced by
Shultz or Shamir's request for
full support of Israel's current
course of action.
"When I finish my term (in
May), I will feel less restrain-
ed," Cohan said this week.
"My own view is we help, not
hurt, our credibility when we
believe a course Israel takes
is not correct and speak out.
"I am not one who believes
we should shelter views in
our own community," he add-
ed. "We should speak out for
and against. My view
represents a minority opi-
nion, but I always believe that
(speaking out) to be true."
"What if in my judgment a
policy is morally or political-
ly wrong? At what point do
we speak out?" he asked. "We
have the ability as Americans
and Jews to speak out where
our country and Israel have
failed!'
Jewish Welfare Federation
President Dr. Conrad Giles
was a participant in Monday's
Council of Jewish Federa-
tions-sponsored telecon-
ference between 25 North
American Jewish com-
munities and Shamir. The
previous weekend, he and
other Federation leaders held
a retreat to review issues of
concern to the community.
The unrest in Gaza and the
West Bank, the prospects for
peace and the role American
Jewish communal leaders
should play figured pro-
minently in the discussions.
"One of the subjects was
what is our role regarding a
public stance," Giles said this
