‘Left’ steals from 'right’ to
get anti-Semitic material
PALM BEACH FL -Aori-
S«ii<a of the far left and far njfta
arc *o strapped for an aau
Jewish propaganda that each m
stealing materials from the other,
according to Professor Alan
Dershowitz of Harvard Uoiverutjr
law school
“Their arc only so many hes that
can be concocted about any group
of people.” he told leaders of the
Anti-Defamation League of B’nai
B'nth. “The demand for the
material simply exceeds the
supply, so duplication and
plagiarism, even among the
strangest of bedfellows, has
become commonplace."
Addressing a session of ADl.'s
national executive committee.
Professor Dershowitz also cited
another dimension of left wing -
right wing cooperation. He said
there are “cooperative ties and
linkage among neo-Nazi and neo-
fascist movements in Western
Europe and evidence of support
for those groups by Libya and the
Palestine Liberation Organization,
both of which are in turn allies of
the Soviet Union."
He pointed to reports attributed
to the Bavarian Intenor Ministry
in West Germany which said that
the leader of a nco-N^i group had
been in Beirut and Moscow two
months before the Oktoberfest
bombing which claimed 13 lives
and left 200 injured. Professor
Dershowitz said the fact that the
Nazi. Kart Heinz Hoffmann, had
been in Beirut suggested a link to
the PLO. He also noted that the
Bavarian Premier, Franz Josef
Strauss, bad told reporters that
Hoffmann and members of his
outlawed group had received
money from Libyan dictator
Muammar Khaddafi
In discussing anti-Jewish
propaganda, Professor Dershowitz
said it had reached “the most
pervasive, massive and intense
proportions since the fall of the
Third Reich.” Asserting that “the
extreme left.” he observed that
Jacobo T i merman, the exiled
Argentine journalist, was
denounced by the right wing of his
country, while Anatoly Shcharansky,
the Soviet dissident, is in prison
because, in the eyes of the
authorities, “Zionism is Fascism."
In both cases, said Professor
Dershowitz, “Zionism is
everything that those in power
despise."
As an example of the way the left
and right steal each other's
material. Professor Dershowitz
pointed to a pamphlet on alleged
Jewish control of the media which
was distributed by an Iranian
student group. “The article was,
ironically, a verbatim duplication,
including the same Der Stuermer-
type cover illustration, of an article
that had appeared a year earlier in
the Crusader and another neo-
Nazi magazine,” he said.
Professor Dershowitz called the
Soviet Union “the chief producer
and purveyor of the current anti-
Jewish media blitz,” much of
which, he said, “is simply the old
poison of traditional anti-
Semitism decanted from the old
Czarist bottles and refilled into
new bottles of recently legitimized
anti-Zionism.”
He said “the most dangerous
anti-Jewish attitude is the singling
out of Jewish institutions, and
especially Israel, for special
scrutiny, and the application of a
double standard to things and
people Jewish.”
"The phenomenon,” he
continued, “has no accepted name,
assumes a variety of forms, but its
most obvious manifestation is the
special and often gloating
attention paid by the media, by
intellectuals and by the
government to any deviation by
Israel no matter how trivial from
the highest norms of human rights,
civility and sacrifice.”
He told the assembled Jewish
leaders: "In the international
arena, Jews are the underdogs. We
need the support of others as well
as ourselves. We are entitled to it.
We have helped many others
overcome. Now we must
overcome."
Begin, Burg reject proposal
i JERUSALEM (JTA)—Prime Minister Menachem Begin and
Interior Minister Yosef Burg. Israel's chief autonomy negotiator,
this week flatly rejected a proposal by President Anwar Sadat for
the creation of a Palestinian govemment-in-exile Begin claimed it
would lead to a Soviet-dominated Palestinian state and Burg called
the proposal “an absolute contrast and contradiction" to the Camp
David agreements.
