concerns about America's
future.
At a time when increased
attention has been paid to a
decline in Jewish voting par-
ticipation, I urge all Jewish
News readers to exercise their
voting right on Nov. 8.
Ultimately, public officials
and candidates will become
less sensitive to our concerns
if it is generally perceived
that we are abandoning the
political process. It is for this
reason that this year the
Jewish Community Council
initiated a voter registration
campaign, in conjunction
with other groups.
When you enter the voting
booth on November 8,
remember that your vote
represents both a choice of
presidential candidates and a
demonstration of American
democracy at work. As Jews
who cherish freedom, we can
do no less.

What Is Behind
Biased Programs?
I wonder how many of us
watched the "60 Minutes"
show on Oct. 23 and felt the
bias against Israel, AIPAC
and the Jewish people as I
did. In the last few months, I
have seen at least three "60
Minutes" segments on Jews,
Israel and AIPAC. What is
behind all these programs of
bias, on a small percentage of
the population, a small coun-
try like Israel . . .?
They can choose from so
many other places and people
in the world. Yet Mike
Wallace brings up the old
bogey of $3 billion aid to
Israel, and breaks it down to
$700 per Israeli. When he
well knows that Israel is one
of the few countries in the
world that pays her debts to
this country.
Wallace also claimed that
Egyptians received $50 per
person. What he didn't say is
that Egypt receives also
around $3 billion a year and
doesn't pay her debts .. .
Not one word on the hun-
dreds of billions of dollars
spent by the United States to
safeguard the Persian Gulf,
Japan, Korea and Europe.

Keep Your Hands
Off AIPAC
The American Jewish Con-
gress, the American Jewish
Committee, and the ADL of
B'nai B'rith have done good
work for many years for
Jewish and Israeli interests —
each in its own way.
Now we are reading reports
that the leadership of all
three groups are trying to
take over the publicity-shy
AIPAC. Please write to the
leaders of these three
organizations and tell them
to keep their hands off
AIPAC.
AIPAC has done a fine job
for the benefit of Israel

JNF Angered
By Lawsuit
New York (JTA) — The
Jewish National Fund called
a group's lawsuit against the
agency an attempt to "prosti-
tute a philanthropy for its
own misguided political
ends." In an angrily worded
statement, the JNF specific-
ally criticized the mother of
one of the four plaintiffs in
the lawsuit.
Twice postponed at the
plaintiffs' request, the suit
accuses the philanthropy of
misleading contributors into
believing JNF allocates funds
to Jews all over Israel, in-
cluding the territories
captured during the 1967 Six-
Day War.
JNF claimed in last week's
statement that it does not
sponsor projects in- the ter-
ritories out of concern for los-
ing its tax-exempt status
under federal laws governing
contributions outside of the
United States.
JNF identified Hadassah
Marcus, 60, of New York as
the "inspirational force
behind the lawsuit."
According to the JNF, Mar-
cus has waged a two-year
campaign against the philan-
thropy after it returned her
$5,000 contribution for a park
project in the West Bank set-
tlement of Shiloh.
Marcus, three of *hose
children are residents of the
West Bank and whose son Jay
is a plaintiff in the lawsuit, is
a major supporter of right-
wing Zionist organizations.
Those organizations sup-
port expanding Israel's bor-
ders well beyond the so-called
"Green Line" established in
1967.
