She says she has "a little problem" with those who refuse to serve in the ter- ritories. "If you don't serve, you might as well turn in your passport and leave, you've really said no to Israeli society." But depending on how one reads the polls, counts the number of members of Knes- set, or divines the meaning of a size of a rally, one might conclude that most of Israeli society has said no to Peace Now. With its annual budget of $300,000, most of it raised in the U.S. and Europe, the organization will be able to continue its high profile cam- paign to push Israel to the table with the PLO. But will it make a differ- ence? . "Polls show the public is un- happy and realizes that something has to give," Golan says. The problem her group has not licked, is how to con- vert public sentiment into public change. 0 Continued from Page 1 The Jewish Community Center presents the Art and Artist 20 plained the group had no answer to the uprising. Galia Golan recalls the am- bivalence. "There was a cer- tain defense of what was go- ing on. There was a feeling on the part of most Israelis that `They are throwing stones and we have to respond.' " Smaller, more radical groups stepped into the vacuum. They had names like Women in Black, the 21st Year (since Israel occupied the territories), Dai Lakibush (End the Occupation) and Yesh G'vul (There is a Limit, or Border, founded during the Lebanon War). These groups advocate an end to the occupation and encourage Israeli soldiers to refuse to serve in the territories. Galili says because these groups advocate breaking the law, • Peace Now tries to distance itself from them. But Golan says she Considers all the peace groups to be part of the same camp, working for a common goal. The rise of the small groups is a result not of a vacuum, but of frustration with the lack of political movement on the Palestinian issue. Society, which provides all legal documentation for emigration to the United States, needs double its an- nual budget, Giles said. The Jewish Agency, responsible for settling Soviet Jews in Israel, had to slash other pro- grams to provide temporary housing and other services to the immigrants, he said. This year, Detroit will set- tle some 150 Soviet Jewish immigrants. Cities with larger Jewish populations will accept proportionally larger numbers. Sherman said she does not expect the emergency effort to adversely impact local agen- cy social services or Detroit's regular allocations to Israel. Federation Statement On the eve of Passover, our Festival of Freedom, the Jewish People is experiencing an exodus for which we have struggled and prayed. Two years ago, 1,000 Detroiters joined with 250,000 other Americans to demand freedom for Soviet Jewry. To our joy, our voices were heard. The emigration of thousands of Soviet Jews will be the last great Jewish migration of this century. We are privileged to have been given a share in their passage to freedom. Still, we must not be lulled by this extraordinary event. Many thousands of Soviet Jews still wait, their ex- it visa applications rejected. Reports of bitter anti- Semitism continue throughout the Soviet Union, and no one knows when the doors could again swing shut. We have an opportunity to unite families, to bring cur people together in an historic and momentous undertaking. The Jewish community of Detroit always has fulfilled its responsibilities toward our brothers and sisters in need throughout the world. Our cherished Jewish values will guide us to act with charity and justice toward our fellow Jews from the Soviet Union. Conrad L. Giles, M.D. Joel D. Tauber President Chairman, Executive Committee Jewish Welfare Federation of Detroit
