dovish hawk (or hawkish
dove) who spoke of breaking
Arab bones during the in-
tifada but is willing to give
up "political" settlements on
the West Bank.
The Bush administration
would dearly love to see Mr.
Rabin elected prime min-
ister but realizes that if it
makes its feelings known, a
backlash of sympathy for the
beleaguered Mr. Shamir
could result.
Given a system where one
does not rise to political
power within one's party un-
til retirement age, Israelis
must choose between two
tired old men, both of whom
have served as prime min-
ister before.
In the U.S., though,
friends of Israel are focusing
on two relative unknowns,
Bill Clinton and Jerry
Brown. That's because
American Jews are convinc-
ed that the Bush ad-
ministration, Whose rela-
tions with Israel have reach-
ed an all-time low, would be
even more problematic for
the Jewish state if given a
second term.
There are any number of
incidents which have shown
that this administration has
no particular empathy for
Israel, and has created a
climate where most Ameri-
cans think that Israel,
rather than its Arab
neighbors, is at fault for the
failure to achieve Mideast
peace.
One of the most shameful
moments in U.S.-Israeli re-
lations came last September
when President Bush went
on national television to por-
tray pro-Israel lobbyists as
bullies in their futile effort
to secure loan guarantees for
the absorption of immi-
grants.
Supporters of Israel are
convinced that four more
years of Mr. Bush and Mr.
Baker would bring increased
pressure on the Jewish state
to make -territorial conces-
sions to its Arab neighbors.
The other Republican alter-
native, Pat Buchanan,
defender of Nazi war
criminals who describes
Congress as Israel's "amen
corner," makes Mr. Bush
look like a Maccabee by
comparison.
That leaves us with the
Democrats. Jerry Brown is a
critic of foreign aid who has
said he would choose the
Rev. Jesse Jackson as his
vice presidential running
mate. Bill Clinton, on the
other hand, has spoken out
strongly on Israel's behalf,
criticizing the Bush ad-
ministration for exerting ex-
cessive pressure on the Jew-
ish state in the peace talks,
supporting the loan guar-
antees and asserting that
the issue of settlements
should be resolved at the
peace table.
The problem seems to be a
deep-seated concern about
Gov. Clinton's character,
slickness and chance of be-
ing elected, not necessarily
in that order. I care more
about who Mr. Clinton
stands up for than who he's
slept with, and his
statements on Jewish causes
indicate support.
There's talk in Washing-
ton of Clinton and Brown
coming into the convention
deadlocked and Jay
Rockefeller emerging as the
candidate, but that just may
be wishful thinking among
Jewish leaders who view the
West Virginia senator as
strongest on Israel.
The sad fact is that voters
are so frustrated and
unhappy with the can-
didates in general that as
You don't have to
vote with
enthusiasm, but
you have to vote.
We've got to stay
involved or there
will be no one to
blame for four
more years of
beating up on
Israel.
soon as one appears to be the
front-runner, they vote for
someone else.
In Israel, there's a strong
sense of deja vu. The same
cast of characters run for of-
fice and, after the last vote is
counted, it's back to the old
struggle of Labor and Likud
each wooing the small re-
ligious parties to form a co-
alition.
Perhaps in this country
the choices are more clear.
On the eve of the New York
primary, where the Jewish
vote is critical, let's be
pragmatic. A low Jewish
turnout this year would be
disastrous for those who
suggest that the Jewish vote
is important. If we're con-
cerned about Israel, Bill
Clinton looks like the best of
the candidates, by far.
So we don't have to vote
with enthusiasm. We can
even stand up and say, in
effect, "The others? Worse."
But we've got to stay in-
volved or there will be no
one to blame for four more
years of beating up on
Israel. ❑
