Sugar is finished. There is
no open till. Everyone is in
deficit," he said. He worried
that the impact of Russian
resettlement could hurt
other federation efforts.
"If we slash and burn our
federation budgets to bring
millions of Soviet Jews to
Israel and the United
States," he said, "there
might not be much of an
American Jewish commun-
ity left when they arrive."
Still, in a later panel
discussion of the cost of
resettlement, Mr. Talisman
said too many are talking
resettlement in historical
terms.

Electoral Reform
Is Gaining In Israel

an Francisco —While
Soviet absorption,
Iraq's invasion of
Kuwait, stonings and
shootings at the Western
Wall and Temple Mount and
relations with the United
States capture headlines, a
bill to significantly change
Israel's electoral process
has been quietly gaining
momentum in the Knesset.
The bill, which has been
co-sponsored by nearly 30
Knesset members and is ex-
pected to be voted upon
within the next few months,
would lead to the direct elec-
tion of the prime minister.
Currently, the prime min-
ister is selected by Knesset
members who, through co-
alition building, control a
majority of the body's 120
seats.
"If any government needs
a strong executive, it's
Israel. What we have is a
system that is not working,"
said Benjamin Netanyahu, a
deputy prime minister,
Likud Party member, and
part of the governing coali-
tion. "Our government is
like a car bought 40 years
ago. It was fine, but over
time, one fender drops, the
engine coughs and it
becomes obsolete, which it
has been for over 20 years."
Mr. Natanyahu joined
with former Prime Minister
Yitzhak Rabin and political
scientists Daniel Elazar and
Uriel Reichman last week to
share the proposed election
reform with participants at
the Council of Jewish Fed-
erations General Assembly
in San Francisco.
The participants
characterized the current
electoral system as one
which violates the rights of
the majority, with ministries
being bought and sold to lure
fringe Knesset members into
a ruling coalition.
"On the one hand, we have

what seems to be the most
democratic system possible.
Any group that wins a touch
more than a bare 1 percent
of the popular vote in a
Knesset election gains a seat
. . . and a chance to enter the
governing coalition and, in-
deed, the government itself
under advantageous condi-
tions," said Professor
Elazar, a former Detroiter
and president of the
Jerusalem Center for Public
Affairs. "The government
that results must rest upon
so delicately balanced a co-
alition that it cannot muster
the energy necessary to
