Most delegates to the Prime
Minister's Conference on
Jewish Solidarity with Israel
agreed that a fresh, in-
novative departure was
necessary to allow Israel to
break out of the cycle of
perceived rejectionism and in-
ternational obloquy.
Professor Irwin Cotler, a
specialist in international
law at Toronto's McGill
University and one of the
brightest lights in the North
American Jewish firmament,
was no exception.
Cotler, who has invested
much of his prodigious energy
and considerable legal skills
in the defense of prisoners of
conscience — from Anatoly
Sharansky to Nelson Man-
dela — did not offer Prime
Minister Shamir advice about
territorial compromise or the
merits of negotiating with the
Palestine Liberation Organi-
zation.
Instead, he urged that
Israel — and Jews everywhere
— embark on a "human
rights offensive" by taking a
more activist role in such
issues as arms control and
apartheid issues.
Cotler said he understood
why many Jews shied away
from activism at a time when
Israel's enemies were cynical-
ly using human rights in
their campaigns against the
Jewish state. But for Jews to
0111 ignore human rights issues
was to both diminish
ourselves as Jews and to im-
peril the Jewish case."
Human rights, said Cotler,
had become a central plank of
▪
Western political culture, and
in the West — particularly in
1—• the United States — the Mid-
dle East conflict had become
a human rights issue.
In this context, Israel was
perceived as denying Palesti-
0` nian rights to self-
determination and a major
human rights violator in the
territories.
"I, too, am critical of human
rights violations in the ter-
ritories," said Cotler, "but I
am also highly critical of the
01`
kind of blanket criticism of
1 ■ '" Israel that one now hears
from human rights organiza-
tions."
