JAMES D. BESSER WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT
T
he Rev. Jesse Jackson's
latest adventure in
Mideast diplomacy pro-
duced the predictable un-
easiness among Israel's friends
in Washington.
Mr. Jackson, who traveled to
Israel last weekend for an ap-
pearance at a controversial con-
ference commemorating the
30th anniversary of the found-
ing of the Palestine liberation
Organization, was careful to
prepare for his trip by meeting
with a number of Jewish ac-
tivists in Washington. He also
met with Israeli Ambassador
Itamar Rabinovich, who
warned the civil rights activist
that the tense situation follow-
ing the Afula killings demand-
ed special sensitivity on Mr.
effort to learn exactly what the
situation is like in Israel, and to
work out his plans with us."
Mr. Jackson touched base
with a number of Jewish ac-
tivists, including Rabbi David
Saperstein of the Religious Ac-
tion Center of Reform Judaism
and Diana Aviv, Washington
director of the Council of Jew-
ish Federations. Political con-
sultant Herbert Block, former
New York Mayor David Dink-
ins' liaison to the Jewish com-
munity, also played a role in
Mr. Jackson's travel plans.
During a conference call
arranged by the National Jew-
ish Community Relations Ad-
visory Commission (NJCRAC)
before Mr. Jackson's departure,
Jewish leaders privately ex-
at Temple Israel

Jackson's part, as well as strin-
gent security measures.
Nevertheless, the former
presidential candidate found
himself in the middle of a rock
throwing melee in Hebron and
at a conference in east Jeru-
salem that Israeli authorities
had attempted to shut down.
Israeli diplomats did not at-
tempt to discourage the African-
American leader, who had been
invited to Israel last year by
both Foreign Minister Shimon
Peres and his deputy, Yossi
Beilin.
"Mr. Jaokson was quite
aware of the sensitivity and the
tension of the situation, and the
delicate stage of the peace ne-
gotiations," said one Israeli of-
ficial. "He made a very strong
pressed misgivings about the
trip — but indicated that be-
cause it was a fait accompli,
they would not raise any public
protest.
After the tour, some Israeli
officials and pro-Israel leaders
just seemed relieved that the
Jackson trip did not result in
new complications in the al-
ready troubled peace talks.
"Look, nobody tells Jesse
where to go and what to say,"
said a top Washington official
with one pro-Israel group. "He
said some good things about the
peace process, and about the
need for tolerance. It was prob-
ably useful that the Jewish
community did not seek to turn
this into a major issue." ❑
