taken a stand on the issue, he
indicated that passage of the
amendment would be
"disastrous" in its impact on
American Jews and said that,
for this reason, he did not ex-
pect it to come to fruition.
That view was shared by
Abraham Foxman, national
director of the Anti-
Defamation League, who said
he believed "that when it
comes right down to the wire,
rationale and reason will
prevail." With the intifada
(Palestinian uprising) conti-
nuing on the West Bank, he
continued, "the one thing we
don't need is to split us
philosophically, religiously
and pragmatically over the
issue of 'Who is . "
Foxman said he "would not
be surprised" if some Jews
who have contributed to
Israel decrease or even stop
their donations if the amend-
ment passes. But he said that
bringing fundraising into the
discussion "would be almost
as crude as some of the
bargaining and bartering
that will go on in the next few
weeks over forming a govern-
ment. lb zero in on fundrais-
ing would be a disservice to
the issue."
Others, however, said
passage of the amendment is
bound to affect fundraising
not because of any organized
protest, but out of a deep
sense of alienation and rejec-
tion. Many people "would
simply turn off," according to
Albert Vorspan, senior vice
president of the Union of
American Hebrew Congrega-
tions, who added that he did
not think it would matter
what his organization ad-
vocated in regard to involve-
ment with Israel. "You can
only be kicked around and
told you're not a Jew so much
without walking away."
Rabbi Eric Yoffie, executive
director of the Association of
Reform Zionists in America
(ARZA), said many Reform
and Conservative Jews would
simply have a different agen-
da — that of protecting the
"integrity" of their institu-
tions. "We ought to be spen-
ding our time fundraising for
Israel and organizing visits to
Israel and educating about
Israel," Yoffie said, but he
added that "any notion that
things will go back to
business as usual after
passage of this is simply
wrong."
Yoffie noted that the
number of people actually af-
fected by the proposal —
Reform and Conservative con-
verts seeking to immigrate to
Israel — "is very small." But
he said the issue goes beyond
just numbers. "What this is,"
he continued, "is an exercise
