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- BATTERING CALL TODAY 1-248, 9811•13900 Pick up our convenient Menu Order Form or We'll Even FAX It To You!

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
