Anti-Semitism In New Zealand /- Sydney (JTA) — As New Zealand prepares for a national election under a new electoral system, charges of anti- Semitism have been leveled at the party expect- ed to benefit most. The Alliance Party, which has managed to win backing among voters from both sides of the po- litical spectrum who oppose the country's two major parties, has been asked to respond to charges that it has given legitimacy to the "fringe right wing" with its "anti- Semitic attitudes." The elections are scheduled for later this year, but no specific date has been set, according to an official at the New Zealand Em- bassy in Washington. Dr. Michael Cullen, who has actively supported the concerns of New Zealand's small Jewish community, recently identified a number of Alliance members as former activists for the Democ- rats, a party mixing eccentric eco- nomic theories with anti-Jewish rhetoric. Dr. Cullen, who serves as fi- nance spokesman in the Labor . Party government, told a Bank of New Zealand seminar that within the Alliance were people whose world view "includes a kind of obscene anti-Semitism that older New Zealanders will be all too familiar with, that ar- gues that there is an interna- tional Jewish financial conspiracy to take over the world." "We have clear evidence of their views being held by people who ran as Alliance candidates at the last election," he added. The leader of the Alliance, Jim Anderton, refused to respond di- rectly to the charges, but called Dr. Cullen's comments "beneath contempt." The New Zealand Jewish lead- ership has written to all political parties in light of the debate, seeking assurances that they would not endorse candidates who hold anti-Semitic views. Lay Offs At Defense Plant Jerusalem (JTA) — Faced with continuing financial losses, Rafael Defense Industries, one of Israel's major defense con- tractors, will lay off some 650 em- ployees. The layoffs were announced after Israeli Finance Minister Avraham Shohat said negotia- tions with the workers councils had gone nowhere. According to initial specula- tion, some 1,200 people at the state-owned firm, which has 4,500 employees, were to be let go.
