Your Savings Insured to 6100.000 Dems, 'GOP Debate Jewish Issues As Campaign Ends DAVID HOLZEL Staff Writer T he 1988 presidential candidates are similar in three respects, their supporters said this week. Both George Bush and Michael Dukakis are friends of the American Jewish com- munity, both are strong sup- porters of Israel, and neither has a position on the fate of Jonathan Pollard, the American Jew sentenced to life in prison for passing U.S. military secrets to Israel. Aides to Dukakis and Bush concentrated on the dif- ferences between the can- didates' platforms on issues of Jewish concern at a political forum held Sunday. The pro- gram was sponsored by the Labor Zionist Alliance. Jim Alexander, Michigan chairman of Jews for Bush, told some 100 listeners that Jewish issues cannot be separated from American issues. He said the continua- tion of the prosperity of the Reagan years would benefit all Americans, Jews included. "We want to build on the largest peacetime recovery in American history," he said. Hal Kwalwasser, consti- tuency director of the Michigan Dukakis campaign, said that a Bush victory would usher in an ad- ministration that does not understand the needs of religious minorities in the United States. Bush would not have to adopt the legislative agenda of his Christian fundamen- talist supporters, including support of prayer in public schools and the pledge of allegience as a litmus test of loyalty, Kwalwasser said. "All he has to do is appoint one more (conservative) member to the Supreme Court. That would put the rights of minorities in this country in jeopardy." Alexander said the Repub- lican platform demands the end of discriminatory prac- tices against minorities in the Soviet Union and calls for the recision of the United Nations resolution equating Zionism with racism. The Democratic platform is short and sketchy on such issues, he said. Alexander decried the negative campaigning used by the Dukakis camp and by Kwalwasser. He held up a black book he said contained negative information about Dukakis. "I don't want to use Re l ig ious News Service DETROIT'S HIGHEST RATES FRONTLI NES George Bush and Michael Dukakis: Their supporters debated at a local forum last weekend. it. I want it to be a positive debate!' Kwalwasser said the public does not know the real George Bush. "Bush talks about a thou- sand points of light. But who has come forward with a plans for long-term health care for the elderly — Bush or Dukakis?" he said. On the Middle East, Kwalwasser said, "Dukakis favors moving the U.S. em- bassy to Jerusalem. Bush does not. Dukakis is against selling anti-aircraft and anti- tank weapons to the Arabs. Bush supports it. "Bush is not an enemy of Israel," Kwalwasser added. "But he is willing to placate the Arabs in a way that Dukakis is not!" Both parties have been ac- cused of tolerating anti- Semitic and anti-Israel in- dividuals within their ranks. Alexander and Kwalwasser agreed that political parties are home to millions of people and said only the candidates deserve scrutiny. Said Alexander: "You have to look at the record and look at the candidate. George Bush is a friend of our com- munity." Kwalwasser defended Ro- bert Farrell, a Democratic National Committee member whom Detroit industrialist and Bush supporter Max Fisher called an anti-Semite. "As the principal lobbyist for the Los Angeles Jewish Federation, I've known Far- rell for 16 years. He is welcome in my house. He is welcome at the Jewish Federation in Los Angeles. He is our friend!" One audience member ask- ed the speakers to comment on the candidacy of Republican Sen. Dan Quayle for vice president. Moderator Irving Bluestone, retired first vice president of the United Automobiles. Workers, aban- doned his position of impar- tiality to recall that Quayle once described the Holocaust as "one of the worst parts of American history." When it was pointed out that Americans were not par- ticularly affected by the Nazi genocide, Quayle responded, "You have to remember that I was born in this century!" In the senator's defense, Alexander said that AIPAC, the pro-Israel lobby, "calls Quayle a leader in strategic cooperation between Israel and the United States!' He dismissed Quayle's fami- ly ties to the allegedly racist John Birch Society. "You can- not paint the son by associa- tion!' Alexander said. Kwalwasser said the choice of Quayle, "whose record in Congress in undistinguished at best, makes it reasonable to question Bush's judge- ment."
