Is Campaign
Anti-Specter?

Washington (JTA) — Is the
"anti-Israel network" plann-
ing a "well-financed cam-
paign" to remove Sen. Arlen
pecter from office?
According to a letter Mr.
Specter's backers are send-
rig out to Jewish voters and
potential contributors, the
senator is the target of
"broadcast terrorists" who
are out to "get" him.
The Republican senator,
who is facing Democrat
ynn Yeakel in a tight race
this November, recently ap-
peared on a list of senators
the National Association of
Arab Americans said it
-would most like defeated.
The campaign letter,
signed by veteran Jewish
philanthropist Max Fisher
and pro-Israel activist
Robert Asher, invites
readers to "send a contribu-
tion of $250," pointing out
that Specter's re-election
campaign "may cost an as-
tounding $12 million!"
Enclosed with the appeal
is a reprinted article on
negative statements several
members of Yeakel's Pres-
byterian church made about
Israel in 1990.
Taken from the Jewish
Voice & Opinion of
Englewood, N.J., the article
lambastes Ms. Yeakel as "a
liberal Democratic
challenger, who is a leader of
a church that has sponsored
anti- Israel programs."
Ms. Yeakel, who serves on
tale board of directors at the
Bryn Mawr church, has
since repudiated the
statements and said publicly
that she favors maintaining
Israel's security.
Mr. Specter aides insist
the letter is meant to do
nothing more than elaborate
on the senator's supportive
position on Israel.
But the letter does more
than inform voters on the
senator's pro-Israel posi-
tions.
According to Mike Young,
a professor of politics at
Pennsylvania State Univer-
sity, the Jewish community
"has a tradition of picking
winners in Pennsylvania
politics."
And while Jews have tra-
ditionally backed
Democrats, they have been
highly supportive of Mr.
Specter in the past.
The vociferously worded
campaign letter, coupled
h 'rwith Mr. Specter's well-
known record in support of
Israel, may have eroded
some Jewish support for Ms.
Yeakel, according to some
observers.
