A native of Argentina, Rabbi Mayer declared the Nica- raguan government was not anti-Semitic. "Mr. Abrams and other right-wingers in the Jewish community were rather up- set" by the rabbi's report, ac- cording to Mr. Grupper. NJA's national office also came out in support of affir- mative action, citing its ap- proval of "inclusionary, but not exclusionary quotas," Mr. Grupper said. "Inclusionary quotas" embrace women, blacks and Latinos, while "ex- clusionary quotas" forbid the participation of minorities — such as limiting the number of Jews admitted to medical school, he said. Not all Jewish groups have sided with NJA in its support of affinuative action. "And as a result of this myopia on the part of certain Jewish orga- nizations, we were attacked as self-hating Jews," Mr. Grupper said. But it was its outspoken Middle East policy that most often raised the hackles of members of the Jewish com- munity. In 1984, for example, New York's NJA joined a ral- ly in protest of Israel's entry into Lebanon. The rally had been organized by the National Emergency Committee on Lebanon, a coalition that included the Palestine Congress of North America. Such actions found criti- cism even among those who believe everyone in the Jewish community should have a voice and may ultimately have hurt NJA's fund raising; 99 percent of the organiza- tion's donations come from Jewish sources. "When they participated in marches against Israel — that's tough stuff," said Larry Rubin, executive vice presi- dent of the National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council (NJCRAC). "It's one thing to be in private and say negative comments about Israel; it's another to be out there on the street. I think NJA's actions like that were difficult for a lot of folks to accept." "I'm not surprised at all that they're closing up shop," added New York Jewish Community Relations Council Executive Director Michael Miller. NJA never applied for Council membership (the Detroit chapter is a member of the Jewish Community Council of Metropolitan Detroit), and "I never sensed its presence." Ultimately, NJCRAC's Mr. Rubin sees NJA's decision to shut down as the result of fail- ing to establish a central core, having too many courses on In place of its national office staff, the New Jewish Agenda has established a seven-member volunteer steering committee. Ann Arbor is handling phone calls. its platter. "They didn't prior- itize," he said. Gail Pressberg, spokesman for the liberal American Friends of Peace Now, credits her group's success in part to the fact that it remains a one- issue organization. Its sole fo- cus is resolving the Arab-Israeli conflict. She described American Friends of Peace Now's fi- nancial situation as healthy, and said recent donations have even increased. Agenda has no plans to change its platform, Mr. Grupper said. The major thrust of its funded political work will be racism and anti- Semitism, but it will continue to be involved in other, "pro- gressive" issues. The group also has specific fund-raising plans, finalized last weekend by the steering committee. These plans are not contingent on whether the mainstream Jewish commu- nity finds NJA's positions ac- ceptable. "Those were righteous stands we took," Mr. Grupper said. "And we'll continue with them — regardless of whether we receive any money." ❑ —
