WORLD vs. ISRAEL THE 11TH ANNIVERSARY DINNER DANCE of the FRIENDS OF THE ISRAEL CANCER ASSOCIATION MICHIGAN BRANCH AND THE HANOAR CHAFFER "These events will sub- side," he said, "and I think the long-term focus on Iraq and Kuwait will again take hold." Like Mr. Gad-Harf, Sen. Levin said that he has not heard severe criticism of Israel from the American Jewish community over the most recent incidents. He did add, however, that it is appropriate for American Jews to speak out, but also to speak out in a way that is helpful to Israel. "In the most recent case though, we as Jews need to restrain our criticisms at this point, because the details of what happened are still not clear and are still rather complicated. The last thing we can do is jump to conclusions. "Also, I think it's very hard to judge Israel in an ex- cessive way, because even in this situation Israel is judged differently than the rest of the world. Israel is be- ing accused of using ex- cessive force here. How many times have Arab governments used excessive force on their own people and it's never a United Nations issue? So, again, we need to keep much of this in mind before we as American Jews come out against Israel now." On the home front, leaders of organizations such as the Jewish National Fund and the Zionist Organization of America have not seen any drop-off in fundraising or any complaints from their members. Ed Rosenthal of Detroit's JNF said Jews who are committed to Israel are usually not affected by even the negative news they read about Israel. Ezekiel Leikin, executive vice president of Detroit's ZOA, said the last thing Israel wanted to see happen was the diversion of atten- tion from the Gulf confronta- tion. "I have a feeling that the investigating committee that Israel has appointed will come out with a report soon, and I think the report will show that the govern- ment acted accordingly," Mr. Leikin said. "I think Israel is angry and a little defiant because they see all of these Third World coun- tries coming in to condemn a democracy. The real problem is the intifada is winding down, and it's not getting enough publicity. This gives it publicity. American Jews who condemn Israel now may be forced by a matter of expediency to condemn." ❑ Sunday, November 25, 1990 Beth Achim Synagogue 21100 W. 12 Mile Road, Southfield Guest Speaker MRS.
