In full bloom Spring Fashions Ow' glik 4 ■ , 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."
