Peace Now Leader
Became A Target

Gail Pressberg's past was a prime issue in the fight
to keep her organization out of the Presidents
Conference.

F

or Gail Pressberg, the
vote to admit Americans
for Peace Now to the
Conference of Presi-
dents of Major American Jew-
ish Organizations represents
the end of a prolonged bad
dream — or at least that's
what she hopes.
"At first, I would look at
what people were saying
about me and felt depressed
and disgusted," she said a few
hours after the Conference
had voted in favor of APN's
application. "Then, with the
help of a wonderful group of
friends on my board and in
major Jewish organizations,
I began to realize that I was
just the focus of a broader
campaign to keep us out of
the Conference, and that I
had to ignore the personal as-
pects and recognize that this
was a political battle."
Ms. Pressberg grew up in
the Jewish enclave of Bor-
ough Park, Brooklyn, in an
ardently pro-Israel family.
During a trip to Israel in
1976, she met Lova Eliav, a
former member of Knesset
from the Labor party, who
was involved in Jewish-Pales-
tinian dialogue efforts. Mr.
Eliav became her mentor, and
dialogue became the central
thrust of her activities during
her years as Mideast director
for the American Friends Ser-
vice Committee and at the
Foundation for Middle East
Peace.
Ms. Pressberg continues to
insist that such activities and
associations do not disquali-
fy her from leading an orga-
nization that is now firmly
entrenched in the American
Jewish mainstream.
But she agrees that her
perspective has changed over
the years. "I think my views
have evolved," she said. "One
example is that I have a
much better understanding
now than I did before of the
complexity of internal Israeli
politics, and some of the re-
straints that puts on an Is-
raeli leadership, in terms of
what they can do at the bar-
gaining table.
"I also wonder more about
the question of timing. When-
ever I have felt passionately
about issues, I always sort of
believed in saying exactly

what was on my mind, re-
gardless of what others were \i
thinking. But if you're going
to be successful in organizing,
that's not always the way to (
go forward."
She vehemently denies
charges that she is a sup-
porter of the Palestine Liber-
ation Organization; she
insisted that the Foundation
for Middle East Peace, which ;
has given money to anti- Zion-
ist organizations, also provide
grants to groups ranging from
Peace Now to B'nai B'rith, as
well as various programs of
Hebrew University. She de-
scribes herself as a "pro-Is-
rael, pro-peace activist."
Why was it so important for
APN to join the Conference of
Presidents? "From a practical
point of view, the community
is beginning to discuss very)
important issues involving
the peace process," she said.
"We want very much to be
part of that discussion."
And APN, which current-
ly claims some 10,000 mem-
bers, represents "a growing -
constituency that very much
sees itself as part of this com-
munity, and that wants a
voice in the community's de-
cisions," she said.

Four Radicals
Are Indicted

Washington (JTA) — The
indictment of four members -;
of a radical Palestinian
group who allegedly plotted
to kill Jews and blow up the )
Israeli Embassy here may
signal a new determination
on the part of the U.S.
government to crack down <
on terrorists operating on
American soil.
The move, announced by
the Justice Department
came just over a month after
the bombing of the World
Trade Center in New York,_,
shocked Americans into
recognizing the dangers of
domestic terrorism.
The four men, all members (
of the Abu Nidal terrorist
group, were indicted last
week in U.S. District Court
in St. Louis, where three of

the defendants live.
