process on Capitol Hill, they
threaten every group that is
secure because of a robust de-
mocracy and an environment of
pluralism.
"I got in trouble because I said
that this hearkens back to
Nazism, the idea of pulling kids
out of schools, of making whole
categories of people subject to the
suspicion of their neighbors," said
Michael Hirschfeld, director of
government relations for the
Jewish Community Relations
Committee of the Jewish Feder-
ation Council of Greater Los
Angeles, which opposed Proposi-
tion 187.
"But I think that's an accurate
comparison. There's no question
in my mind that if this kind of
scapegoating can happen to
one group, it can happen to
others." 0

New York (JTA) — In his first
meeting with American Jewish
leaders, newly elected Ukrainian
President Leonid Kuchma
pledged to fight anti-Semitism.
"We are not indifferent to cas-
es of anti-Semitism in Ukraine,
but the malignant term of neo-
Nazism does not exist in
Ukraine," Mr. Kuchma told the
Conference of Presidents of Ma-
jor American Jewish Organiza-
tions.
"I promise that as president I
shall fight against such phenom-
ena," he said.
The Ukrainian leader said he
recognized that his country's his-
tory "had black and bloodshed
chapters" vis-a-vis the Jewish
people and called for the estab-
lishment of a museum at Babi
Yar, the site of one of the worst
massacres of Jews during World
War II.
"What was important was that
the president of Ukraine was
making a statement to fight anti-
Semitism and reach out to the
Jews," said Rabbi Arthur
Schreier, chairman of the Appeal
of Conscience Foundation, which
co-sponsored the event.
Mr. Kuchma noted that
Ukraine had the most rapidly
growing Jewish community in
the former Soviet Union.
Rabbi Yaakov Bleich, who is
originally from Brooklyn but now
resides in Kiev and acts as chief
rabbi of Ukraine, thanked the
Ukrainian government for sup-
porting Jewish life and enabling
the reconstruction of the Jewish
community there.
When asked after the meeting
about a recent "60 Minutes"
episode that suggested that
Ukrainians were perceived as
"genetically anti-Semitic," Lester
Pollack, chairman of the Confer-
ence of Presidents, said that Mr.
Kuchma proved this was not the
case.
