"This ideology has tended to

auging the AFSC's
'influence is diffi-
cult, observers say,
though the organization has
made its mark.
"It has made a fairly con-
certed attempt to influence
public policy," Professor
Maurer said. This includes
the Friends Committee on
National Legislation,
which aggressively lobbies
senators and represent-
atives in Washington. The
AFSC also administers a
worldwide Quaker pro-
gram with non-governmen-
tal status.at the U.N.
What may be the most
cause for concern is the
AFSC image, Professor
Maurer added. Because the
Quakers are regarded as
pacifists and longtime
friends of the oppressed,
the AFSC tends to coin,
mand a great deal of
respect.
"Friends have much
greater influence in polit-
ical circles in North
America than their
numbers would suggest,"
Dr. Kirk writes in The
Friendly Perversion.
"Their long history of hu-
manitarian service has
earned them a reputation
for absolute integrity and
reliability. Even when they
oppose government poli-
cies, as they invariably do
with respect to military
spending, Friends are
listened to respectfully."
He adds, "They may at
heart be very good people,
but their faulty thinking
has led them to engage in
work that is very dirty in-
deed. This dirty work now
poses a serious menace to
the State of Israel and to
the very lives of its - peo-
ple."
The AFSC, Dr. Kirk
notes, frequently refers to
its Nobel Peace Prize.
"That is how many people,
who know of Quakers only
tangentially, think of
them," he writes. "It is a
good reputation which has
been honorably earned.
But good reputations,
honorably earned, can be
misused and twisted to
serve other ends." ❑

Argentina Jails
Seven Neo-Nazis
New York (JTA) — Seven
neo-Nazis were jailed in
Buenos Aires last week for
painting swastikas in a
public square.
The arrests June 19
prevented a confrontation
last week when a neo-Nazi
group calling itself the Na-
tionalist Workers' Party had
planned to assemble outside
the National Congress to
pledge allegiance to an
Argentine flag with a
swastika in its center.
Argentine President
Carlos Menem banned the
rally. "Never again — that
type of ideology is not valid
in today's world," he said.
The neo-Nazis are headed
by Alejandro Biondini, a
self- proclaimed admirer of
Adolf Hitler who vigorously
denies the Holocaust but
claims not. to be an anti-
Semite.
He and his followers face
up to three years' imprison-
ment if convicted. They were
arrested under a 1988 law
that prohibits the practice or
promotion of discrimination
on the basis of race, creed,
sex or national origin.
This was the first time the
statute has been used to re-
strain anti-Semitic activity,
according to Rabbi Morton
Rosenthal, director of the
Latin American affairs
department of the Anti-
Defamation League, which
monitors anti-Semitic acts in
Argentina.
One of the most recent
manifestations was the
destruction of 110
gravestones at a Jewish
cemetery on the outskirts of
Buenos Aires in May. Two
men were arrested. Nazi lit-
erature was found in their
apartments.
Jews and others are con-
cerned by the spate of anti-
Semitic incidents in the
country. Argentina's ambas-
sador to the United States
blames them on social un-
rest in reaction to the econ-
omic reforms and other
changes necessary to put
Argentina on the road to
democracy.
