TV feature orTextremlsm ^iOl^JSWjfJinieclia a wa rd Jewish Committee has presented its Mass Media Award to Bob Lange, producer of the“Seeds of Hate” documentary in the ABC “20/ 20” TV series, for his expose of radical right extremist groups stirring up anti-Semitism among debt-ridden Midwest farmers. The award is given annually to “an individual or institution in recognition ofdistinguished lead ership in promoting man’s under- standing of his fellow man through mass media for a dis tinguished record of journalistic excellence and commitment to freedom of the press.” It was presented to Lange by Atlantan Edward E. Elson, chair man of AJC’s board of trustees, who lauded him for “tearing the veil from the hate-mongers who cynically spread the plague of anti-Semitism and deadly violence among our nation's beleaguered farmers.” Elson stated that by revealing the “hateful simplicity of the rad ical right, Lange had alerted the public to a rapidly expanding danger. Expanding on his remarks fol lowing the presentation, Elson said that “the economic crisis in rural America has grown more severe over the past several years. In an attempt to capitalize on fears and insecurities growing out of this crisis, radical right extremist groups, many of them espousing virulent anti-Semitism. have intensified their proselytizing ing activities among the farmers of the Middle West." These groups, he said, “offer simplistic and extremist solutions to complex economic problems, and question the efficacy of demo cratic processes for the airing of grievances. In so doing, they pose a distinct threat to traditional American values." It must be stressed, Elson con tinued “that the vast majority of farmers are law-abiding citizens who reject anti-Semitism and extremism. They and their com munity leaders can carry the message to all sectors of society that scapegoating, stereotyping and religious bigotry are unac ceptable responses in America.” He added: “The farmers of the region must be assured that other Americans are responsive to their plight and support the quest for an equitable and just national agricultural policy. Too often the farming community suffers in isolation and thus becomes vul nerable to the outrageous ‘solu tions’ offered by proponents of extremist ideologies.” Israel issues new stamps by Israel I. Bick President. Israel Stamp Collectors Societs Two new issues have been produced by the State of Israel. One marks the centenary of the legendary David Ben-Gurion and the other, titled “Netanya 86,” is in the form of a national stamp exhibition souvenir sheet. Ben-Gurion, of course, was one of the guiding lights in pre independent Israel, a dedicated leader in the struggle for state hood and, ultimately, prime min ister and national commander- in-chief. He served in these latter capacities during the crucial years of the War of Independence and the subsequent period of crisis. A native of Poland, he emi grated to Eretz Israel at age 20 and, 10 years later, was banished from the land by the Turks. He then mobilized a battalion of Jewish fighters, trained in the U nited States, to fight with Allies in the conquest of Palestine. This supreme patriot died at age 87, and rests in Sde Boker, in the Negev, beside his wife Paula. The “Netanya 86” souvenir sheet reproduces a 16th century map of the Holy Land. During “Netanya 86,” the emphasis will be on young stamp collectors, some of whom will be showing the collections for the first time. Both of these issues are availa ble from the Israel Stamp Collec tors Society, along with every other postage stamp issued in the country since independence.
