Congressional Disapproval

JAMES D. BESSER

Washington Correspondent

T

he Palestinians may have won
a big skirmish in the battle
for world opinion at this
weeks international conference on
racism in Durban, South Africa, but ,
the victory will count for little on
Capitol Hill.
In act, most observers say the
Palestinian hijacking of the U.N.-
sponsored World Conference Against
Racism — and Yasser Arafat's speech
accusing Israel of "ethnic cleansing"
-- will only add to their problems
in Washington, where a peeved
Congress is set to move ahead with
measures penalizing the Palestinian
Authority for the recent surge in vio-

decision that he will win by violence,
he has made a decision that he will
win by trying to totally delegitimize
the State of Israel, Zionism and Jewish
history.

Anti-Semitism Rising

Jewish leaders say it is too early to tell
how deeply the Arab effort at Durban
will cut into Israel's world standing.
But most agree that the successful
hijacking of the conference points to a
crisis in international support for
Israel, as well as one more blow to the
all-but-dead Mideast peace process.
It also reflects an increasingly anti-
Semitic cast to the fight against Israel
in world organizations.
When an Arab lawyers group partici-
pating in the NGO conference distrib-
uted virulently anti-Semitic pamphlets,
the American Jewish Committee and
others filed a formal protest with the
conference steering committee,
demanding that the group be excluded
for distributing hate material.
But the committee ruled that the
material — which included grotesque
caricatures of Jews with fangs — was
political, not racial, and denied the
AJC request.
"Durban may be remembered as a
litmus test for how individual coun-
tries and non-governmental groups
reacted to an expression of raw anti-
Semitism," said David Harris, the AJC
executive director. "And an awful lot of

lence.

"Particularly for people in
Congress, Durban will underscore
the continuing hardline, inflexible
approach of the Palestinians and the
Arabs in trying to address the issues
that divide the parties," said Jess
Hordes, Washington director for the
Anti-Defamation League.
In July, the House passed a foreign
operations bill that included an
amendment promising diplomatic
sanctions unless the Palestinian
Authority curbs the violence.
The Senate is due to take up a sim-
ilar measure this week or next, and
Capitol Hill insiders say it enjoyed
strong support even before the
Durban debacle.
Arafat's decision to use the interna-

them failed that test. That is the fright-
ening and lingering part of Durban."
The conference also represents a
potential community-relations crisis
for Jewish groups as other communi-
ties lash out against the U.S. boycott.
On Tuesday, the Council on
American-Islamic Relations accused
Washington of "bowing to the pres-
sure of domestic pro-Israel groups,"
and called Israel a "brutal foreign gov-
ernment that uses apartheid-like prac-
tices and policies to subjugate
Palestinian Muslims and Christians."

Battle Broadens

Jewish officials say the success of Arab
governments in turning the conference
into a collective attack against Israel
represents a dangerous turning point
in the international debate over the
Middle East.
"The Palestinian cause here is
incredibly well-organized," the
Wiesenthal Center's Abraham Cooper
said. "They have people here to start
demonstrations, they have legal advis-
ers and media handlers. They know
what they're doing."
Even if a last-minute deal is struck,
he said, the battering Israel has taken
on the world stage "means this tactic
will spread to every other international
forum; it will invade every single col-
lege campus this fall. It's a battle that
has to be joined at every level, in every
community, where Jews live. If it isn't,
we will wake up one day to find that
