overran a defenseless neighbor and who went against his own people," Senator Shelby emphasized. Mr. Shelby was one of 52 senators who urged the Bush administration not to link the Gulf crisis with settling the dispute between Israel and the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Turning to the nuts and bolts of grassroots activism, speakers on three panels warned of the sophisticated tactics being used by Arab Americans and other anti- Israel supporters in their efforts to weaken the bond between America and Israel. Urging vigilant reading of local, national, professional and campus newspapers and similar attention to broad- cast media, Andrea Levin, director of Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA), stated that her organization is having an impact. "Silence never works," she said, in calling for continuing public reac- tion to the media through phone calls and letters. Eric Breindel, editorial page editor of the New York Post, reported that when his newspaper receives 20 letters containing informa- tion or proof that a story or column is biased against Israel, some will get printed. "This will alert the paper that people are watching. It makes sense. You should do it," he said. Congressman Edward Markey from the 7th district in Massachusetts pointed out that we owe the Israelis a debt of gratitude for warm ing us of the spread of nuclear arms in the region and added, "The only thing countries in the Arab world share is hatred of Israel." "We aren't over there for Israel, but because Hussein sits astride the oil supply with nuclear weapons and the sixth largest army in the world," Mr. Markey con- tinued. Also speaking at the con- ference were Senator Tim Worth (D- Colo.), and Consul General of the State of Israel to New England, Yaacov Levy. The conference was planned by AIPAC and the Jewish Community Rela- tions Advisory Council, CAMERA, ADL, and the Bos- ton Chapter of Hadassah. Conference co-chair Steve Grossman called it "A model for the future, that can be re- peated across the country." ❑ This story originally ap- peared in the Boston Jewish Advocate.
