i'
hen Time and
Newsweek each de-
vote one and a half
pages to the same story, it's
either a signal of the impor-
tance of the topic — or that
journalism is, indeed, dic-
tated by a cabal of conspiring
journalists. The dual stories
addressed American Jews'
changing stance toward
Israel. Newsweek's piece was
headed, "A Family Quarrel,"
Time's was called "The
Diaspora's Discontent!' The
essence of both was that
Diaspora Jews still love
Israel, but are more prone
than ever to criticize it.
The news hook for both
stories was the Conference on
Jewish Solidarity With Israel
that was attended by 1,500
Diaspora Jews in Jerusalem
two weeks ago and Israeli
Prime Minister Yitzhak
Shamir's face-to-face
meetings in Washington this
week with President Bush.
Time's national political cor-
respondent Laurence I. Bar-
rett called the Jerusalem con-
ference "an international pep
rally" that "underscored
Shamir's well-founded wor-
ries about his standing
abroad, notably in the United
States." Some American
Jews, said Barrett, attended
the conference "with misgiv-
ings; others stayed home.
Many . . . balked at being us-
ed as extras in Shamir's
biblical unity epic."
But Newsweek senior writer
Tamar Jacoby assessed the
conference as "a victory for
Jerusalem . . . By their
presence, the Americans af-
firmed that no matter what
their views of Israeli policy,
they remained steadfastly
behind the Jewish state"
Yet this support has become
more critical, agreed both
news magazines. The shift
was accelerated by the
Palestinian intifada and last
year's "Who-Is-A-Jew" issue.
The latter, in particular, said
Reform movement leader
Alexander Schindler in Time,
"gave license for many to ex-
press their cumulative
distress!'
Time also said that Nobel
laureate Elie Wiesel "mov-
ingly evoked the dilemma felt
by many Jews!' Speaking in
Washington at a meeting
commemorating the
Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty
of 10 years ago, Wiesel "warn-
ed against allowing frustra-
tion over the absence of peace
to be translated into disuni-
ty."
"I feel so much gratitude to
the people of Israel and to the
state of Israel," said Wiesel,
"that I simply cannot bring
myself to become a judge over
my people:'
Newsweek noted that
American Jews are "beginn-
ing to experiment" with
"more equal" ties to Israel.
"Above all," wrote Jacoby,
"they want to be more involv-
ed in shaping Israeli society!"
Projects cited by Jacoby in-
cluded $23,500 spent by the
San Francisco Jewish Com-
munity Federation for
videotapes to promote
democratic values in Israeli
high schools and $200,000
spent last year by the New
Israel Fund on the Neve
Shalom "school for peace"
which holds joint seminars for
Arab and Jewish youth.
"If these efforts have a com-
mon theme," concluded
Jacoby, "it's that Israel is too
important to be left to Israel."
