FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1989

a bad year anyway for
Democrat presidential
politics," said one Jewish
Democratic leader who is in
the anti-Jackson wing of the
party. "The feeling is, it'd be
better for the party if he ran
in 1992 and got it over with;
1996 is looking more and
more like our next real oppor-
tunity."
At the same time, other
anti-Jackson Democrats are
secretly pulling for a suc-
cessful Jackson mayoral bid,
on the assumption that the ci-
ty's enormous crime and drug

problems will drag Jackson
down to political ignominy.
Political scientist Allan
Lichtman, an expert in
predicting presidential con-
tests, counsels caution. "The
conventional wisdom may be
that the Democrats are pret-
ty much conceding 1992,
unless a major crisis in-
tervenes," Lichtman said.
"But it's all shooting in the
dark. Jackson could emerge
triumphant from a term as
mayor. A lot of things could
happen before the next elec-
tion."

Pro-Israel, Arab Groups
Court Joe Kennedy

The Kennedy name is still
magic in American politics.
So it should come as no sur-
prise that both pro Arab and
pro-Israel interests are
vigorously courting one of the
new generation of Kennedy
politicos, Rep. Joe Kennedy
D- Mass.
In Middle East politics,
Kennedy, now in his second
term, has displayed a con-
siderable ability to attract the
attention of both sides in the
debate.
Recently, Kennedy ap-
peared as a featured speaker
at the annual meeting of the
National Association of Arab
Americans. Next month, he
will be the main attraction at
a Chicago fund-raiser of the
National PAC — the top pro-
Israel PAC in the country.
All this interest stems from
several factors. According to
confidants, Kennedy has a
pro-Israel record in Congress,
but has privately expressed a
more sympathetic attitude
towards the Palestinian
cause.
The Kennedy name, too,
gives him added value as a
fund-raiser and magnet for
the media.

But several experienced
Jewish activists discount the
recent competition for Ken-

Joseph Kennedy:
Playing to both.

nedy's attention. "People are
attracted by the name," said
one veteran lobbyist for a
Jewish group. "But the fact is,
Joe does not appear to be go-
ing anywhere fast; he's no Lee
Hamilton, as far as House
politics are concerned."

Applegate Square

INSIDE WASHINGTON

IINC

It wasn't the Gunfight at
the OK Corral, but among
Jewish militant radicals, it
may have been the closest
thing.
Two weeks ago, two leaders
of the Jewish Defense League,
one of them a licensed process
server, went to the Greenwich
Village headquarters of a
small, rival organization, the
Jewish Defense Organization.
Their purpose was to serve
court papers to JDO founder,
Mordechai Levy. Levy, 27,
scrambled to the roof with a
semi-automatic rifle. Spray-
ing the street with bullets, he
wounded a retired air condi-

tioning repairman who was
sitting in a parked van and
missed his two rivals.
In a Village Voice piece
about the incident entitled,
"Oy Vey, Make My Day,"
writer Robert I. Friedman of-
fers a rare glimpse of the
hostilities, the intricacies —
and the "psychotics" — that
pervade the Jewish
underground. Mordechai
Levy, says Friedman, "spent
more than a decade moving in
and out of radical fringe
groups, supplying informa-
tion to intelligence agencies
and Jewish organizations, in-
cluding the FBI and the Anti-
