Arabists attempt to slash
U.S. assistance to Israel
b> Leonard J. Davis
Sc.r I a,i Report
A coalition of pro-Arab
organizations and Arabists has
embarked on a campaign to cul
I S assistance lo Israel b> $150
million In the words of one of the
organisations, the effort involves
"targeting particular congressmen
lor our campaign” and "flooding”
their offices with telegrams, cards,
petitions and phone calls. The .11
targeted congressmen and senators
Iron) 18 states, include some who
have expressed pro-Arab
positions.
Spearheading the lobbying
effort are the Palestine Human
Rights Campaign (PHRC) and the
National Association of Arab
Americans (NAAA). On February
22, the PHRC mailed members of
Congress an appeal to cut $150
million from the 1981 aid bill, an
amount it claimed equaled what
“Israel intends to spend on
building new settlements in 1981.”
In late February, the NAAA, the
American Friends Service
Committee, and the Middle East
Resource Center urged such a cut
before the House Foreign Affairs
Committee. And in March, the
NAAA circulated on Capitol Hill a
four-page proposed amendment to
the aid bill calling for cuts in what
it called U.S. assistance to Israel’s
“consolidation of its 13-year
military occupation of Arab
lands."
(It should be noted that Israel
does not use U.S. assistance in
those areas that came under its
administration since the 1967 war.
In fact, all U.S. assistance, plus an
equal amount in Israeli funds, is
used to buy goods in the United
States.)
I he NAAA-PHRC ellorts have
also been aided by Peter Krogh,
dean of Georgetown University’s
School ol Foreign Service, who
has admitted lobbying members ol
Congress "in a personal capacity.”
Krogh, who founded the
Georgetown Center for Contem
porary Arab Studies in 1975. has
been active in bringing the Arab
point ol view to Washington over
the last five years. According to the
center's annual report. ”As
Chairman of the Executive
Committee [Krogh] continued to
serve as the Center’s principal
representative with the university
administration. Dean Krogh was
particularly energetic in the
Center’s fund-raising effort He led
the Center's delegation to Libya...”
Krogh defended a $750,000
grant the center received in 1977
from the government of Libya, a
gift that columnist Art Buchwald
labeled “blood money from one
of the most notorious regimes in
the world today.”
In an interview with Near East
Report, Krogh identified John
Richardson of the NAAA as the
author of the amendment
circulating on Capitol Hill.
Richardson has registered with the
secretary of the Senate as a
lobbyist for domestic interests but
has never revealed the source of
NAAA's funding. By their own
officers' admission, much of
NAAA’s money is from foreign
sources.
Krogh recently completed a tour
of the Arab world with colleagues
from the Georgetown center. One
of them. Hisham Shirabi, is a
former president of NAAA and
serves on the PLO’s governing
body, the Palestine National
Council.
The PHRC, formed two years
ago as an outgrowth of the
Association of Arab-American
University Graduates, is a
Washington-based organization
housed in the same building as the
Middle East Resource Center and
the PI.O’s information office. It is
reportedly under investigation by
the Justice Department on
suspicion of failing to register as a
foreign agent representing the PLO.
Among PHRC's executive
committee officers are Jack
O’Dell, an assistant to Jesse
Jackson of Operation PUSH;
David Dellinger, a veteran radical
who has recently pledged his
efforts to link the Palestinian issue
with the anti-nuclear movement;
and Wes Michaelson, editor of
Sojourners and a former assistant
to Sen. Mark Hatfield (R-
Oregon).
In 1979, Hatfield introduced an
amendment proposing to cut $100
million in military aid to Israel. Il
was soundly defeated in the
Senate Both the PHRC and the
NAAA claim credit for initiating
the proposal.
Hatfield’s amendment was
defeated last year by a tabling
amendment, which passed 78 to 7.
and congressional observers
anticipate a similar dereat for the
new Arab initiative. Members of
Congress, they stress, are unlikely
to respond to organizations so
closely tied to the PLO and foreign
contributions.
