ollywood movie executives
are "outraged" and "dis-
gusted" about an article in
the British magazine, The
Spectator, that revives a stereo-
type from the early days of film-
making that a "Jewish cabal"
controls the entertainment in-
dustry.
The article by William Cash, a
Hollywood correspondent for the
British conservative newspaper,
the Daily Telegraph, describes
Jews as "fiercely competitive,"
"clannish" "and compulsive sto-
rytellers and talented negotia-
tors." The "invidious and
protective culture" they have cre-
ated in Hollywood denies em-
ployment to non-Jews, according
to Mr. Cash, who answered in the
positive this question that he
posed:
"Now that Jews govern the
New Establishment does any sort
of reverse form of class or racial
discrimination operate against
outsiders trying to get access to
the entertainment highways —
WASPS, blacks, Brits, and oth-
ers not so favored?"
Neal Sandberg, former head of
the western region of the Amer-

ican Jewish Committee and cur-
rently head of AJC's Pacific Rim
Institute, said Mr. Cash's article
was "overstated, even in terms of
genteel anti-Semitism. It's a clas-
sic portrayal of Jews that goes
back to an embellished image of
Shylock."
Jews now function in Holly-
wood, he said, "not as an ethnic
or cultural group, but as individ-
uals answerable to banks and for-
eign and corporate sponsorship.
These are business people, like
anywhere else, trying to make a
profit. They're not defending eth-
nic or cultural interests."
Mr. Cash's article appeared at
the same time that an anony-
mous Sony executive in Tokyo
was quoted in the Japanese busi-
ness weekly, Keizaikai, as say-
ing, "... The U.S. film business is
almost completely controlled by
Jews. This is true of what we are
doing as well and our job is to use
them in an efficient manner."
The Japanese magazine then
concluded, 'What this person is
saying is that you cannot ignore
Jews if you do business in the
U.S."

ZOA Blasts
Hamas Coverage

T

he Zionist Organization of
America has concluded that
recent press coverage of
Palestinian attacks in
Jerusalem and Tel Aviv was "se-
riously flawed."
In part, the ZOA concluded
that:
* The "overwhelming majori-
ty of newspapers failed to de-
scribe the attackers as terrorists.'
Even those that referred to the
attacks themselves as `terrorism'
declined to characterize the at-
tackers as 'terrorists.' Instead,
they used certain euphemisms."
The Detroit News, for instance,
called the killers "gunmen," the
Washington Post referred to them
as "attackers" and the Miami
Herald dubbed them "Hamas
militants."
These quotes in the study
seemed determined to put the
press in the worst possible light.
It did not mention, for instance,
an analysis in the Washington
Post by Glenn Frankel. Now a na-
tional editor at the Post and a for-
mer chief of its Jerusalem
bureau, Mr. Frankel referred to

"Israeli militants" who endorsed
Baruch Goldstein's attack on a
Hebron mosque last February —
and attacks from "Palestinian ter-
rorists" that have "actually
helped [Israeli Prime Minister
Yitzhak] Rabin make the case
that Israelis need to separate
themselves from the territories."

Detroit News called
them "gunmen."
Washington Post
called them
attackers.

* Journalists "widely misre-
ported" a "vague statement" from
Mr. Arafat that they interpreted
as condemning the Jerusalem
and Tel Aviv attacks.
"Actually," claimed ZOA,
"Arafat had merely referred to
the bombing as `this condemned
act,' without specifically saying
that he himself condemned it."
