American Jewish Com-
mittee and the Anti-
Defamation League cannot
openly oppose Mr. Duke's
presidential primary.
That law is being
challenged by the ADL, said
Richard Lobenthal, director
of ADL's Michigan Region.
Still, the federal law has
not kept some local activists
from attacking racism in
politics.
"I think it's frightening
that a candidate like this
can develop that many votes
and can be considered for the
governor's seat of a major
state and then try to go for
the presidency," said
Jeannie Weiner, president of
the Detroit Jewish Com-
munity Council.
In a speech to the Council
delegate assembly on Mon-
day, Executive Director
David Gad-Harf described
Adolf Hitler's rise to power
in Germany as a political
phenomenon similar to Mr.
Duke's ascendancy to polit-
ical respectability.
"You and I know the rest
of the story," he said. "We
must not forget the lessons
of the past. If we ignore
David Duke, and if we ig-
nore the social and economic
distress all around us, we do
so at our peril."
Indeed, while many are
upset with Mr. Duke's en-
trance into the Michigan
primary, many favor an at-
tack not just on his
background, but on his poli-
tics.
"Conscientious legislators
have got to come forth and
say we have problems," said
State Representative Maxine
Berman, D-Southfield. "But
not to blame those problems
on blacks, Jews or
Hispanics."
Rep. Berman advocated
speaking directly to the
issues which she believes
feed Mr. Duke's popularity:
a worsening economy, disen-
chantment within the white
middle class and racial
scapegoating.
"There are artful politi-

cians who have the capacity
to appeal to the heart of
darkness in all of us," she
said.
That Mr. Duke has tapped
white, lower middle-class
angst doesn't surprise some
analysts. But, said Professor
Raymond Tanter, other poli-
ticians with similar concerns
should step forward.
"David Duke is like a
rubber ducky. If you try to
ignore him, he will pop right
back up again," said Pro-
fessor Tanter, who teaches
at the University of Mich-
igan's Department of Polit-
ical Science.
Right-of-center politicians
like Governor John Engler,
said Professor Tanter, "have
to address those issues."
"That vision could attract
the middle class voter who's
dissatisfied with the current
situation," he said.
Mr. Duke's candidacy has
also cast a pall over Repub-
lican efforts to make inroads
within the local Jewish
community. Mr. Alexander,
the Oakland County GOP
head, dismissed that worry,
saying Mr. Duke would not
alienate Jews from the en-
tire party.
"How many Jews left the
Democratic ticket when
Jesse Jackson ran? Or when
George Wallace ran? Up
here, he doesn't even have
campaign people," Mr.
Alexander said. "The Mich-
igan electorate is smart
enough to realize that this
guy's a political con man."
Still, Mr. Duke's ability to
garner votes anywhere has
some Jews worried.
"The Jewish community
has to be concerned that
Duke has received any votes
in this country," said Mr.
Borman, former president of
Farmer Jack supermarkets
and supporter of the Repub-
lican party. Mr. Borman
added that Mr. Duke may be
followed by minions of like-
minded individuals running
for political office across the
country. ❑

neutral party or observer.
"To believe Zionism is
racism is an aberration, a
hoax," Mr. Leiken said. "For
too many years, Third World
nations and countries in
Eastern Europe refused to
deal with Israel, saying it
was an illegitimate state.
This has caused Israel a
great deal of damage."
Amir Denha, publisher
and editor of the Chaldean
Times, called the repeal of

Resolution 3379 "a gift to
Israel."
"In return, America is ask-
ing Israel to be more flexible
in the peace negotiations,"
he said.
Zana Macki, regional co-
ordinator of the Arab-
American Anti-
Discrimination Committee,
still maintains that Zionism
is a form of racism. "The
ADC has always supported
the original U.N. resolu-
