WIN/ lei WI We are winning. 851-7233 Bush has gone out of his way to court some of the most far-out elements of the Chris- tian right, without whom he would not win the election. Fundamentalist evangelicals like Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson, who recently of- fered to condemn anti- Semitism only if the Jewish community condemned the movie The Last Temptation of Christ are only two of these. Dukakis, son of poor Greek immigrants, refused to par- ticipate in his college frater- nity system because it exclud- ed Jews. When he heard that professional barbers in his college town would not cut the hair of black students, he took it upon himself to cut his black classmates' hair until the professionals relented. Perhaps Hyman Bookbinder, fomer director of the American Jewish Com- mittee, put it best. Dukakis, he said, has "not only an intellectual and philosophical understanding of Jewish history and Jewish pain, but a personal sensitivi- ty formed by his own ethnic background, by the close rela- tionships with Jews throughout his life, and by family participation in Jewish living by virtue of his marriage . . . Nobody has ever come to the White House with a greater commitment and sensitivity to [our] cen tral concerns." When we vote on Nov. 8, let's not forget who we are where we came from and what we believe in. And with that remembrance, let us vote for Michael Dukakis for presi- dent of the United States. I CHAIM Will Hear Of Visit To Poland PIPING ROCK Rene DeSchutter 542-9100 Israel forces in the Democratic Party. In the words of Thomas Dine, executive director of the American-Israel Political Ac- tion Committee, Dukakis is "a true friend of Israel." We have heard both parties accused of harboring anti- Semites. We are right to be anxious. We have seen this before, in other places, in other times. But we Jews should con- sider which candidate has a commitment in his heart to fight anti-Semitism — a com- mitment not dependent on the pressures of presidential politics. Is it Bush, who opposed the 1964 Civil Rights Act, and who selected as vice president someone with close ties to the religious right, whose family helped found the John Birch Society, and who once said, "I have very little interest [in civil rights]. My own personal concerns are very minimal in that area?" Is it Bush, who, after revela- tions that Frederic Malek, deputy chair of the Republican National Com- mittee, had compiled a list of Jewish employees in the Nix- on administration, called Malek "a most honorable man" and reaffirmed his will- ingness to consider giving Malek a job in a future Bush administration? And it is Bush, who served as president of the fraternity system at Andover and later became an active member of Yale's Skull & Bones, at a time when both were notorious for their exclusion of Jews and blacks?
