‘Scuttling’ harms blacks,
Jews, says CORE founder
hfom JTA report*
James Farmer, the founder and
former national director of the
Congress of Racial Equality
(CORE), warned Monday night
that the “scuttling of the alliance”
between blacks and Jews “would
not be in the interests of blacks" or
“in the interests of Jews." It would,
he said, “only be in the interests of
those who, like the Ku Klux Klan,
wish pain upon Jews and blacks
alike”
Farmer, who is now executive
director of the Coalition of
American Public Employes, said
in a prepared speech at the
Conference of the National
Association of Human Rights
Workers in Portland, Me., that
“the purported rift between the
blacks and Jewish communities"
tied to the resignation of Andrew
Young as U.S. Ambassador to the
United Nations, threatens to
“fragment" the “historical alliance
between blacks and Jews.”
Farmer declared: “We should
move quickly and decisively to
resolve existing problems in our
communities and to forestall
others which threaten to erupt.
When blacks are endangered we
must enlist both Jewish and black
leaders. When Jews are under
attack, blacks must move to their
defense. The anti-Semite, we must
never forget, is a bigot. Actions
against Jews are only a prelude to
actions against blacks. And,
equally true is the reverse."
Earlier Benjamin Hooks,
executive director of the NAACP,
and Vernon E. Jordan Jr.,
president of the National Urban
League-also expressed sharp
criticism of those blacks who have
jeopardized the amity between
American Jews and blacks by
publicly embracing the PLO and
urging the U.S. to reverse its policy
of no contacts with the terrorist
group without preconditions.
Their remarks broke a prolonged
silence on the issue by both
organizations.
Hooks, in an interview with the
New York Times, chided blacks
who indulged in personal
Vernon Jordan
diplomacy in the Middle East as
headline grabbers and declared
that “if Americans want to involve
themselves in foreign policy they
should do it through the State
Department." Hooks observed
that “It is certainly more headline
grabbing to make a trip to the
Middle East but the way to
accomplish results is to focus on
where the power is, with President
Carter and Secretary of State
Cyrus Vance."
Jordan denounced black leaders
who have voiced support of the
Palestine Liberation Organization
and declared that black-Jewish
relations should not be endangered
by "ill-considered flirtation with
terrorist groups devoted to the
extermination of Israel."
Jordan told some f,000 persons
at the 65th annual meeting of the
National Conference of Catholic
Charities in Kansas City. Mo., “It
is time to stop providing joy to the
cross-burners and the bomb
throwers. Indeed, it is time to
strengthen the traditional fruitful
alliance between the black
community and the Jewish
community.
In Israel, seven black American
civil rights leaders and trade union
officials, visiting as guests of
Histadrut, expressed abhorrence
Monday for the Palestine
Liberation Organization and said
that while American blacks hold a
variety of opinions on the Middle
East conflict, all agree that the
U.S. must support the existence of
a free Israel within secure borders.
At the same time, they said, they
supported self-determination for
the Palestinian people.
The views of the group were
stated to reporters by one of its
members, Bayard Rustin, at a
press conference at Histadrut
headquarters.
Meanwhile, the Chicago Sun-
Times reported Tuesday that Jesse
Jackson solicited and received
$10,000 in cash and pledges from
Arab-Americans for his Operation
PUSH last Saturday. Columnist
Roger Simon quoted an
unidentified Arab-American
source as saying the money was
requested at a closed meeting
between blacks and Arab-
Americans at the PUSH
headquarters in Chicago. Simon
quoted his source as saying that
Jackson was “clear" in telling the
Arab-Americans “if you don’t
support me, l won’t support you.”
Simon said that Jackson
confirmed this to him by telephone
saying he challenged the Arabs
“that if they want to be part of the
human rights struggle they must
join in...with dollars and bodies.”
