Israel Is Cautious
On German Violence
;1)
Jerusalem (JTA) — Israelis
are caught in a dilemma as
they watch in dismay the
spread of neo-Nazi violence
in Germany.
Mindful of the close econ-
omic and security ties that
bind the two countries,
Israelis have restrained the
impulse to register their
abhorrence by taking strong .
measures against Germany.
The country's unanimity
in the face of the current
wave of racism and anti-
Semitism in Germany and
elsewhere was expressed by
Foreign Minister Shimon
Peres, at the opening of a
special parliamentary
debate on the issue.
"If there were a Jewish
state at the time, the Holo-
caust itself might not have
happened, or might have
been far smaller in
magnitude," he said.
He spoke a day after the
government "strongly con-
demned" the outbreak of

neo-Nazi violence in Ger-
many and urged Bonn to
crack down on the
perpetrators more firmly
than it has so far.
But Israel rejected calls
from both right and left to
take strong action against
Bonn.
Moshe Katsav, chairman
of the opposition Likud fac-
tion in the Knesset, asked
Prime Minister Yitzhak
Rabin to sever diplomatic
ties with Germany if it does
not act quickly to curb the
neo-Nazis.
From the opposite political
corner, Education Minister
Shulamit Aloni of Meretz
said she would call on
Israelis and Jews worldwide
to boycott Germany if does
not take steps to stanch the
violence.
While the government
spurned those options, a
three-member parliamen-
tary delegation canceled a
scheduled official visit to the
Bundestag.
Israel's measured response
reflected links between the
two countries that were
highlighted in the visits
here last month of German
Foreign Minister Klaus
Kinkel and the German
chief of staff, Gen. Klaus
Naumann.
Germany is Israel's most
important trading partner
after the United States and
is one of the few countries in
Europe that buys a substan-
tial amount of advanced
technological equipment
from Israel, including
military or militarily-
oriented equipment.
Moreover, visitors from
Germany registered a 200
percent increase in the first
eight months of this year —
to 118,000 —compared with
the same period last year,
and comprise a major com-
ponent of Israel's important
tourist industry.
At the same time, a large
number of philanthropic
organizations in Germany
are linked with economic
and cultural projects in
Israel.
In the security field, Ger-
many is in the forefront of
countries with defense links
to Israel, according to securi-
ty sources.
Israel's dependence on
Germany appeared to render
moot, at least for now, calls
by both coalition and opposi-
tion spokesmen over the
weekend for a dramatic
gesture of protest against
Bonn's failure to take
stronger action against neo-
Nazi violence.
In Bonn, the government
declined to comment on the
statement by the Israeli
government, which was
widely reported in the Ger-
man media. But Cabinet
members privately approved
the decision by Jerusalem to
refrain from calling for a
worldwide Jewish boycott of
Germany.
Leading members of the
Bundestag, in private con-
versation, expressed under-
standing for the decision of
three Israeli Knesset mem-
bers to suspend an official
visit to Bonn. But they said
that had the Israelis visited,
the Germans would have
tried to make clear to them
that every effort was being
made to curb neo-Nazi
violence.
