Rosenthal Says Israel
Is Being Blackmailed
ARTHUR J. MAGIDA
Special to The Jewish News
T
o New York Times
columnist A.M.
Rosenthal, the world
is still suffering from a
double standard regarding
then Middle East: Israel is
roundly condemned for
alleged human rights abuses
and for refusing to negotiate
with the PLO or Arab states,
while Arab calls for Israel's
destruction or Arab
"atrocities" are ignored.
In a Times' column head-
ed, "Out, Out, Brief Hope,"
Rosenthal, the former editor
of the Times, wrote, "The
sorrow is that the double
standard - about Israel and
the Arabs is so ingrained
now we hardly notice it
anymore."
Rosenthal attributed the
double standard not to
Israel's enemies, but to the
West, "where the truth can
be known and be said. But it
is not."-
Peace, stated Rosenthal,
"will come in the Middle
East when the Arab states
are ready to make peace, not
before. To pretend otherwise
is a sardonic joke."
Rosenthal, the former
editor of the Times, asserted
that it is "strangely unfeel-
ing for Americans to scream
for the United States
Government to harass,
threaten,. and blackmail
Israelis into acquiescence
while remaining silent
about the continuing Arab
rejection of Israel."
In a speech at the Grand
Opera House in Wilmington,
Del., Rosenthal had raised
his theme of blackmail two
weeks before his column on a
double standard appeared.
Demands by Washington
that Israel agree to an in-
dependent Palestinian state,
a state he claims would be
"suicidal" for Israel, are, he
said, "not pressure," but
"blackmail."
As reported in the Jewish
Voice, a Jewish newspaper
in Wilmington, Rosenthal
said that Israel "is now the
only country in the world
that is being asked to accept
a solution that, in the end,
could lead to its elimination
as a nation."
Conservative Rabbi
Praises Lubavitcher
"What 'proofs' are there
that [contemporary Jewish]
theologians are doing God's
work in a dimension totally
beyond the spirituality of
the Dalai Lama or of
Mohandas Ghandhi?" asks
Conservative Rabbi Arthur
Hertzberg in a brief essay in
Present Tense magazine.
Hertzberg, now a professor
of religion at Dartmouth
College, is critical of Jews
with "a marked tendency to
avoid the question of the
content of the revelation at
Sinai." This avoidance, he
states, is not new. For many
