Jewish leaders deny
charge of being ‘used’
by Judy Siegel
The Jerusalem Po* *t
JERUSALEM — American
Jewish leaders who accompanied
Vice President Walter Mondale
on his trip to the Middle East have
denied that they were being “used”
by the Carter administration or
that their coming along
symbolized an endorsement of
U.S. foreign policy.
Theodore Mann, who entered
the office of chairman of the
Conference of Presidents of Major
American Jewish Organizations,
told The Jerusalem Post that
“people should give American
Jewish leaders more credit than
they do. Israelis are too scared—
they have a right to be—but they
should give us credit for having
intelligence."
Mann, a Philadelphia lawyer
who represents the National
Jewish Community Relations
Advisory Council, said “I doubt if
there's one Jewish organizational
leader in our group who endorses
Carter's criticism of Israel in
public."
The leaders met U.S.
Ambassador Samuel Lewis, and
“almost to a man, we criticized
some of Carter’s policies,” he said.
The new Presidents Conference
chairman praised Mondale as a
“super friend" of Israel, adding, “I
have no doubt that he will continue
to be.”
American Jewish Committee
president Richard Maas also
disagreed with the theory of “being
used” that has been put forward by
former U.S. Air Force intelligence
expert Joseph Churba and others.
“When the vice president asks
people to come on a good will tour,
it would be the height of rudeness
to refuse," he said. In addition,
during “this tense period, it is wise
to foster contacts with the
American administration.”
Maas said, however, that he
couldn't understand why Mondale
wouldn’t visit the eastern part of
Jerusalem "officially” after
Egyptian President Anwar Sadat
did so last November.
Asked about “disappointment”
with Mondale among American
Jews and Israelis, Maas said that
“Mondale hasn't changed his
views, but in his post he is not a free
agent. He said that the vice
president's decision to visit Egypt
after his Israel tour was “good
news, not bad, since it may help
push the peace process along.”
Rabbi Saul Teplitz, president of
the (Conservative) Rabbinical
Assembly, agreed with his
colleagues that accompanying
Mondale did not mean an
endorsement of U.S. policy.
Burton Joseph of the Anti-
Defamation League of B'nai
B’rith, whose wife was just
appointed by Carter as
ambassador to the Netherlands,
said that the U.S. is makin| no
attempts to impose a settlement on
Israel. “We must recognize the
facts of life on the American
political system: the path to Israel
is still firm, but, new paths to
moderate Arab states have been
opened.”
Despite the American Jewish
leaders' denial of Churba's
viewpoint, some Israeli officials
privately told The Post that the
Jewish dignitaries were sacrificing
their principles to “rub elbows with
the vice president and to fee!
important.”
