Perhaps we should have done what many in Israel wanted, namely stay out of Lebanon and let Israel directly engage the PLO forces? The next distortion was "Israel's employment of American Jews as spies against our country." As far as anyone knows, there has only been one incident of unauthorized communication of classified information by a U.S. citizen — the Pollard af- fair involving Pollard passing information about Arab pro- duction of chemical weapons. The evidence suggests that Pollard approached the Israelis. Furthermore, let's not forget that Israel is our military ally, and therefore the actual damage to U.S. in- terests is questionable .. . The next lie was "The re- cent acts of killings . . . all against unarmed Palesti- nians." In fact, twenty Israelis have been killed by Arabs in the past year, some by guns, some by clubs, some by stab- bing and, yes, some even by bricks being dropped on their heads. Also, every person who has watched enough TV has seen Palestinian rioters with Molotov cocktails, hardly unarmed. In addition, the juxtaposi- tion in the ad of the Holocaust with the intifada is another attempt to trivialize the Holocaust. The Holocaust was both qualitatively and quantitatively different from the intifada .. . But the final and most im- portant distortion is the idea that the Jewish Committee on the Middle East is anything but an Arab pro- paganda toolinvolving a relatively small group of naive and self-hating Jews that are as far from the mainstream of informed American Jewish views as night is from day. The vast majority of Jews including this writer, his family and • friends, support Israel, and admire the courage and perseverance it takes to survive in a land sur- rounded by enemies.

Continued from Page 6 On behalf of Labor Zionist Alliance Branch 960, I object to the nature of Milton J. Steinhardt's letter of March 3, which criticized The Jewish News report of Menachem Rosensaft's visit to our branch. I was at the meeting. I can attest to the fact that Rosen- saft made it clear that at all times during his discussions with PLO representatives he held himself as representing solely himself. He did not pro- fess to negotiate for Israel, nor did he claim the power to do so. While his actions have hardly met with unanimous approval in the LZA, here and nationally, we believed he merited a hearing. Steinhardt's letter unwit- tingly illuminates Rosensaft's main point. PLO diplomacy is entering a new and hitherto unsuspected order of sophistication. In the Shamir government's rote intonation of the standard shibboleths and catchwords it fails even to recognize this challenge, much less begin to deal with it. The eminently predictable result has been Israel's in- creasing diplomatic and political isolation, which serves the interests only of Israel's enemies. Attempting to squelch debate by invoking Israel's security, when it becomes increasingly ap- parent that the real issue is ideology, is not only unseem- ly but dangerous. Steinhardt is welcome to op- pose Rosensaft!s opinions, but his attack on the one who reported them fairly is war- rantless. Everyone who was at the meeting will agree that Elizabeth Kaplan's article reflected her professional ob- jectivity. She accurately reported Rosensaft's remarks, and can in no wise be said to have defended his views, or indeed to have evidenced any stand on the matter. Alexander R. Bensky Detroit S INEWS Imml " Museum Slated For Nuremberg Bonn (JTA) — The town of Nuremberg, a place fixed in history as the locale of the Nazi trials, plans to build a museum of modern German history on the site where neo- Nazis have formerly held yearly conventions. _ The town's ruling Social Democratic Party (SPD) an- nounced plans drawn up last week for the museum, which would stand on a site that is largely unused. German commentators have remarked that the site has until now been an embar- rassment, something to be hidden from the public. Still visible in the place, known here also as Zep- pelinfeld, are ruins of a col- ossal, pseudo-antique Nazi ar- chitecture, including an un- finished congress hall that has become headquarters for a local orchestra.
