for the $10 billion loan
guarantees for Israel that he
opposed] as an indicator of
whether the president sup-
ports Jewish issues," she
said. "Lacking is an assess-
ment of the deeds of this ad-
ministration: The things
that Pres. Bush has done to
strengthen Israel, his efforts
to rescind the [United
Nation's] 'Zionism as
Racism' resolution."
One domestic issue, she
said, that consistently comes
up is abortion.
"People," she said, "say
the Republican platform .. .
would deny abortion to wo-
men who had conceived as a
result of incest or rape."
They do not know, she

asserted, that the platform
supported "a human life
amendment in the Constitu-
tion, without defining what
would be in that amend-
ment."
To Jews who worry that
the president is anti-Semitic,
she said, she asks "whether
they know that it was
George Bush who started the
[White House] tradition of a
Chanukah party for his Jew-
ish friends and associates.
There is an unawareness
that George Bush . . . has
reached out to his Jewish as-
sociates and friends. It's not
something someone does to
buy votes, and it's not some-
thing an anti-Semite would
do."

Clinton Courting
Sephardic Votes

Bill Clinton's presidential
campaign is attracting a
steady influx of Jewish ac-
tivists who sense political
change in the air —and want
to be part of it.
One of those is Suri
Kasirer, co-founder of the
Council for the Rescue of
Syrian Jewry and executive
director of the American
Sephardi Federation.
Ms. Kasirer, working in
the New York offices of the
Clinton campaign, is helping
to coordinate Jewish women
and Jewish elderly in that
pivotal state. She is also
focusing on voter registra-
tion among Sephardic Jews
around the country, a group
never targeted by a major
presidential campaign.
"Sephardic (voter) par-

ticipation has been low in
the past," she said. "We're
trying to turn that around.
Already, we think we're see-
ing a tremendous response."
Ms. Kasirer is also part of
an effort by the Clinton
campaign to attract Or-
thodox women, whom the
campaign considers the key
to unlocking the Orthodox
constituency, which conven-
tional political wisdom puts
on the GOP side of the
ledger.
Ms. Kasirer said she put
aside her normal life to par-
ticipate in her first presiden-
tial campaign because Clin-
ton and Gore "are com-
mitted to the issues our
community holds close to our
hearts."

Hear Peace Now-nik

Just in case anyone needed
morep roof that the climate
for pro-Israel activity in
Washington has dramati-
cally changed since Yitzhak
Rabin's June election, con-
sider a recent meeting bet-
ween a leading Israeli critic
of the deposed Likud
government — and some
leading Jewish neo-
conservatives.
For several years, Maj.
Gen. (Res.) Shlomo Gazit has
been a regular on the Peace
Now circuit in the U.S. But
on a recent visit to Washing-
ton, Mr. Gazit was hosted by
Richard Schifter, a former
assistant secretary of state
for human rights and hu-
manitarian affairs. Present
at the meeting were some of
Washington's top Jewish
conservatives.

Mr. Gazit was also hosted

sponsored by Nishma and
