NEW FROM THE B'NAI B'RITH MEMBERS' INSURANCE PROGRAM case from the communities. It's hard to tell where the grass-roots is on this one." (The committee has been asked to join Mr. Lasson's amicus brief, but so far is on record as only giving its support to "full, open and fair hearings, before ap- propriate tribunals" concer- ning Mr. Pollard's legal claims.) Pollard supporters — some of whom regard Mr. Pollard as a modern Jewish hero who put Israel's survival above his personal safety — also speak with increasing fervor about the possibility that the Bush administra- tion might be inclined to release Mr. Pollard and allow him to settle in Israel. They base this view on perceived closer ties between the White House and Jerusalem resulting from the Gulf war and on increas- ed activity on his behalf in Israel. Last week, Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Jerusalem was working to secure Mr. Pollard's release, and Israeli newspapers re- ported that President Chaim Herzog and the prime min- ister's office had asked Pres- ident Bush to grant exec- utive clemency. Mr. Netanyahu, who gave no details of his nation's efforts, also said he received word that Mr. Pollard's mental and physical condi- tions were steadily de- teriorating. (Newsweek re- ported this week that "well- placed U.S. sources" think Israel may fear Mr. Pollard will finger Israeli contacts if he feels Jerusalem has abandoned him.) However, well-placed American Jewish leaders say they see no evidence of any such deal. Thomas Dine, executive director of the American Israel Public Affairs Com- mittee, speaking last Sun- day at his group's annual national conference, said he did not think the Pollard case "will be affected by the new relationship" between the U.S. and Israel after the Gulf war. "Nobody seems to know what will break this case. None of us knows when and how" the Pollard affair will end, Mr. Dine said. The Pollard camp has been at odds with the organized community leadership ever since Mr. Pollard's arrest, arguing that the groups have conspired to avoid the issue out of fear that Ameri- can Jews' patriotism will be put under a cloud.
