The fact that PLO’s observers at the U N. wear suits and ties rather than fatigues and combat boots and carry attache cases instead of machine guns makes them no more moderate. The Ku Klux Klan’s David Duke wears a shirt and tie instead of Klan robes, but beneath his skin beats the same evil heart. It is tragic that some American black leaders have embraced the PLO and chosen to scapegoat the Jews for Young's resignation. It is ironic that the SCLC, an organization supposedly committed to non-violence, has endorsed our government’s meeting with an organization totally dedicated to violence. The fact is that most American black leaders are not overly familiar with the history, politics, or nuances of the Middle East. This has not. for understandable reasons, been a priority for black Americans. One must wonder why even those with the best of intentions feel themselves qualified to jump into the conflict possessing little knowledge or understanding of the depth of emotions or history of the area. If blacks cannot relate to the Jewish experience, they certainly can relate to their own. When black Americans were petitioning and fighting for their civil and human rights during the 50s and 60s those with whom they dealt were the elected and appointed representatives of federal, state, and local governments Molt were white and some perhaps harbored racist sentiments. But America's blacks did not go to the Ku Klux Klan. the White Citizens Councils and their ilk to resolve their problems and secure justice. Yet some seem to expect Israel to deal with a group whose purposes and goals are most destructive than even those of the KKK. I cannot help but wonder how American black leaders would have reacted if a white American U N Ambassador had spoken out in favor of the Rhodesian- Zimbabwean Government, or of apartheid in South Africa and called for America to consider the rights of the Afrikaaners as the key to resolving black-white relations in southern Africa. Those would be direct contradictions of American policy, and I suspect that the reaction from black leaders here would have been less restrained than was the Jewish reaction to Young’s meeting with the PLO Finally, I can appreciate that some of the black leaders to whom I’ve referred, by name or otherwise, are well-intentioned and would like to play a role in bringing peace to the Middle East and to mend the fences between Jews and blacks in America where they require mending. I'd like to suggest that they cannot do so by falsely accusing Jews, by shouting anti-Semitic canards, and by embracing an organization dedicated to the destruction of Jews Wouldn't it be ludicrous if Israel sent an Ambassador to Alabama to meet with the Ku Klux Klan as a means of resolving racial problems there? There are. I believe, many people of good will among this nation’s black leadership, and we must continue to work with them for our mutual benefit. Jewish- black relations are important, but they are not as important to us as is our own survival as American Jews and the survival of our biothers and sisters in Israel. At this point, we can only work for and hope for the reemergence of reason Mrs. Melvin Rainbow of Adel, Ga., and Mrs. Jack Simon and Mrs. Ernest Janko, bothof Miami; and brothers.
