AMERICAN SOClETY CANCER. 34 FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 1991 Did Israel Poke? Continued from preceding page say, he concluded that the Israeli formula would never fly and he therefore modified his own position in order to squeeze more concessions out of Jerusalem and close the conceptual and percep- tual gaps. There was, however, an- other factor that may have contributed to the steep decline in the diplomatic temperature between Wash- ington and Jerusalem: a decision by Housing Min- ister Ariel Sharon to estab- lish a new Jewish set- tlement, Revava, in the heart of the West Bank. Mr. Baker learned of this fresh move when he stopped off for a meeting with Euro- pean leaders iri Luxembourg en route for Jerusalem. Clenching his teeth, he declined to comment public- ly on the move, promising to take up the issue directly with the-Israelis. At a meeting with a three- person Palestinian delega- tion in Jerusalem the day after his stormy encounter with Israeli leaders, Mr. Baker displayed his disap- proval by running an ABC- TV interview with the new settlers for the benefit of his guests. While the settlers boasted that it was deeds not words that counted, an enraged Secretary Baker left no doubt in the minds of the Pa- lestinians that he regarded Revava as a poke in the eye for America. With political fortunes now balanced on a knife- edge, the appearance of that small cluster of prefabricated dwellings on the West Bank at this delicate moment in United States diplomacy was an act of breath-taking, perhaps foolhardy, defiance by Israel. As Jerusalem seeks to con- solidate the political credit it accumulated during the Gulf war and desperately casts about for assistance in hous- ing the flood of new Soviet immigrants, Revava may yet prove to be a catastrophic error of judgment. ❑ NEWS AT&T Shareholders Turn Down Neo-Nazi Proposal New York (JTA) — As ex- pected, American Telephone and Telegraph Co. share- holders voted overwhelm- ingly against a • proxy pro- posal put forth by the Na- tional Alliance, a neo-Nazi hate group, that would have required the telephone com- pany to stop doing business in Israel. Fully 96 percent of the votes came in against the proposal, according to reports from Chicago, where the company's annual shareholders meeting took place April 17. The National Alliance rec- ommended that AT&T stop doing business with Israeli- owned companies in order to express "moral outrage" over what it alleged was Israel's "ghastly record of human rights violations perpetrated upon the Pales- tinian people." The AT&T board of direc- tors recommended voting against the proposal, poin- ting out that the National Alliance's "professed con- cern for human rights lacks credibility, and is even misleading, given the con- sistent anti-Semitic bias in the proponent's literature and public statements." The National Alliance proposal received 4 percent of the shareholders' 1.09 billion votes, just over the 3 percent required by the Se- curities and Exchange Commission to get the same proposal included in next year's AT&T proxy state- ment. Although the National Al- liance's proposal was round- ly defeated, the the neo-Nazi group succeeded in achiev- ing its real goal: to garner increased credibility for its racist views through main- stream exposure. For the Jewish and other groups fighting the National Alliance's campaign, efforts to combat groups of this ilk- are a double-edged sword. A balance must be careful- ly struck between exposing the National Alliance's real goals to public scrutiny and not ceding it too much of the publicity it so hungrily seeks. "We never want to give these groups the visibility that they don't deserve," ex- plained Jerome Chanes, co- director for domestic con- cerns • at NJCRAC, the Na- tional Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council. "At the same time, our long experience has taught us that the best counterac- tion against groups such as National Alliance is public
