MESSAGE page 59
in some 70 cities could reassure
Mr. Rabin that they were work-
ing hard on behalf of the bold poli-
cies he has initiated — a
continuing sore point with Israeli
leaders. But beneath the pat lit-
tle speeches was a certain
poignance — the unmistakable
sound of two communities in very
different parts of the world, with
very different local cultures, try-
ing to figure out how to preserve
their special relationship when
one of the primary threads link-
ing them is cut.
Prime Minister Rabin's goal in
the high-tech town meeting
seemed to be to encourage Jews
here to maintain their active sup-
port for the peace process in the
American political arena, a per-
sistent and perhaps exaggerated
worry of Israeli leaders in recent
months.
But there was something odd- c_\
ly plaintive in his appeal. After
all, U.S.-Israel relations are at an
all-time peak, thanks to devel-
opments in the peace process and
the warm personal relationship
between Mr. Rabin and President
Bill Clinton.
Despite routine warnings, Is-
rael's foreign aid seems more se-
cure than ever. The predicted
economic boom that already is
stirring in the region will help
make that aid less important in
the future. Washington, under
fire for its perceived foreign pol-
icy failures, is unlikely to back off
from the one bright spot on the
international game board — the
Middle East peace talks.
So why the urgency behind Is-
rael's insistence on continued _/
activity by American Jews?
I suspect that what Mr. Rabin
and other Israeli leaders are re-
ally getting at is a more funda-
mental plea for Jews to retain
their emotional and political con-
nection even after Israel is no
longer the fragile country strug-
gling heroically against over-
whelming odds.
Israeli leaders fear an emo- C
tional withdrawal by American
Jews once their country is seen
as safe — a dulling of the special
sense of urgency that has spurred
political and philanthropic activ-
ity on behalf of Israel, and that
has come to dominate our rela-
tionship to the Jewish state.
But in this uncertain time, Is-
raeli leaders have few sugges-
tions to offer other than the hope
that American Jews will some-
how find new ways to retain
those connections. They are too
preoccupied with the myriad de-
tails of the peace process, too fo-
cused on immediate political
factors, not the long-term dis-
connection that many of them are
beginning to sense.
The conference call had an
oddly hollow sound. Part of that
emptiness, I suspect, had to do
with the fact that Israeli leaders
no longer are sure what they
want from American Jews.
