    AN OPEN LETTER TO AMERICAN JEWS

    Recently. three prominent Jewish leaders protested to Vice President Nixonbecause his press secretary had brought to their attention an editorial in an Israelinewspaper urging American Jews to vote for Nixon. The Jewish leaders were somewhatshocked because they were appealed to as Jews and not simply as Americans, and intheir protest they termed the press secretary's action as Han insult to our fai th."Tb!s protest, the Jewish leaders asserted. was a personal action on their part anddid not represent the opinions of the membership of their organizations. However,the protest as carried and reported in the press gave readers the impression thatthese leaders were speaking for the entire Jewish community. I t is for this reasonthat I feel compelled to address this let ter to ~ coreligionists who are somewhatdismayed and confused by this whole incident and who suspect that in a l l of this smokethere may be some f i re .As an American Jew I do not consider i t an insult to ~ faith to be informed oropinion in security-sensitive Israel concerning our Presidential candidates and theirpolicies 0 The Israeli newspaper in i ts awkward way was trying to say what a greatmany Americans of all faiths firmly believe p that Kennedy's foreign policy does

    represent a line of appeasement which could ultimately lead to the destruction ofIsrael and the West.Do I speak as a biased Republican? No, for I am a registered Democrat who thisNovember will be voting Republican for the f i r s t time 0 Am I making groundless assertions or distorting Senator Kennedy's words? Again, no. for the record is there foreveryone who wants to see i t in a. collection of the Senator's 'speeches entitledIiStrategy for Peace,tl and the Senator has not repudiated one word of i t .Take, for example, the matter of Algeria--whose fate in a geopolitical sense has,a very direct bearing on the future security of IsraeL The Senator hu.made his viewequite clear on Algeria. In a s t a r t l ~ n g Senate speech in 1957 strongly echoing the

    line of the. American Friends of the Middle East--an organization dedicated to theadvancement of Arab nationalism and the. destruction of Israel--Senator Kennedy urgedthe United States to betray its major ally France in favor of the FLN terrorists whoseek to establish their dictatorship over a l l of Algeria. Now, Algeria is not a purelyMoslem country. I t is , in fact. a multi-religious community which has been for thelas t 100 years a legal part of the French Republic and whose inhabitants are Frenchcitizens. The Moslem terrorists who seek to separate Algeria ram France do not havethe popular. support of their own people 0 They are a minori.ty faction using terror.extortion and assassination as the means to achieve domination. Until now they havemurdered and injured over 30.0000! their fellow Moslem civilians. This has madetheir cause anything but popular with the inhabitants of Algeria. Yet, this is thegroup to whi.ch Senator Kennedy urged the United States to lend i ts support. jeapa.rd.1zinour military alliance with France as well as a close association and friendship whichgoes back to the days of Washington and Jefferson.

    Now. you may ask, what bearing does t.his have on Israel or American Jews? Theanswer is thiso Should Senator Kennedy's policy be adopted after his election andshould i t s u c c e e d ~ i t would mean the expUlsion of France from Algeria, the consolidatioof Nasser's Pan-Arab empire in North Africa, the inevitable destruction of FrenchAlgerian Jewry, and the enlistment of Algeria in the economic blockade against Israe1.I t should be noted that the Algerian rebels have taken part in all of the Arab Leagueconferences dealing with Israel and are in ful l accord with general. Arab aim of ,destroying Israel.

    Now, in what way would an liindependent" Algeria hasten the destruction. of IsrafJltOne, i t would add Algeria and i ts vast resources to the strength of the ArabplocJtwo, i t would free Arab energies .to concentrate on the ultimate goal of destra,ying

    These are only the more direct effects which Kennedy's policy, i f successful,would have on the security of Israel. But what would this policy mean in the greaterworld picture1 To betray France would not only serve to aggravate and weaken our ally,but also to cause a serious r i f t in the Western alliance, which is exactly what thecommunists have been trying to achieve since the formation of BATO.

    As for anti-Semitism, there is no doubt that i t would increase dangerously inFrance where, for some strange self-destructive reasons, such distinguished Jews asMendes-France and Servan-Schreiber have openly espoused the cause of the Algeriannationalists, despite the glaring fact that the vast majority of Algerians of al l re l i -gious communities have in two massive referendums expressed their determination to .remain French.This is just a brief outline of the effects which only one of Senator Kennedy'sfuture actions might have in the realm of foreign policy. Several indications. howevebecome very clear in the various remarks and speeches the Senator has made inthilFliast

    d e c a d e ~ F o r e : x m n p l e . he has an almost obsessive hostil i ty toward France; which doesnot augur well for the Western alliance. This hostil i ty has manifested i tself in themany anti-French statements the Senator has made concerning Indo.China. Algeria. andNATO. In one speech Sen. Kennedy made the amazing remark that the French atomic bombwas aimed a t Washington and not Moscow. This would lead one to conclude that theSenator considers France a greater menace then Russia.NOW, what does this mean for Americans, particularly those who a r e a 1 ~ o Jews1Jews should be reminded that France is Israel 's only military friend and shouldtherefore be given as much support as possible qy them. Kennedy's anti-French policy

    is , indirectly. an anti-Israel policy, for in effect i t accomplishes one and the samething: i t strengthens Arab nationalism and weakens Israel 's defense position. Kennedyanti-French policy also weakens the West in general and strengthens the communist handin Western Europe and North Africa. I t is no secret that the communists have beensupporting the Algerian nationalists since the beginning of the rebellion and hope toreap the benefits of an FLN victory ..

    As the reader will notice I have not had to mention Quemoy or Matsu in criticizingSenator Kennedy's policy of appeasment. The Israelis, on the other hand, have foundreason to be wary of the Senator. They see their security position from a world view,and i t is quite understandable for them to want to influence their fellow Jews in votinfor a President whose policies will have a very direct bearing on their future seourityNow, of course, Jews as Americans are free to vote for whomever they please and forwhatever reasons they see f i t . However, i f llistory has taught the Jews any lesson, i tis that they cannot afford the luxury of a homegrown isolationism which, in a nationalelection, shuts off everything from view but local party loyalty. I t is claar to anyone who follows international developments that the security of Israel will not bestrengthened b,y a Kennedy victory. In fact, the opposite will be the result.

    I t is incumbent upon the Jews of America t ~ t they be properly informed beforethey vote on November 8tho I have written this let ter because I have fe l t i t a dutyto bring these views to the attention of my coreligionists who, through a coalitionof deceitful forces, are being prevented from seeing the true facts of the worldsituation. ~ - . ~ - ~ ~ ~ k A.( ~ ~ ; r i ~ a n Citizen.

    DEAR EDITOR ... .rulE 29. 1961Mq I intrude 1n tbe controbers7 between Kr. Alan and Mr. BaM7 on one

    aide and Mr. Blumenfeld on the other concerning "Algeria and the FrenchRepublio long enough to make a tew pertinent comments.I have read attentivel, th!0ugh belatedl7 the two original articlesby III. Alan & Berr,y and awFt say that both gentlemen have set down theirpersonal l ikes an d disl ikes 1n guise of coaaentary and report on the si tuat ionin Algeria " Franoe. I sbal l do likewise.

    I have known Algeria since before World War I I and JI'l,Y contacts there havebeen and s t i l l are both bwsiness an d social J rq knowledge of Franoe, Frenchmenand the French poli t ical situat.ion goes back s t i l l further. (Let .. note herethat I vas for 11&117 years the correspondent i l l France for the New Leader)Witb the tacts as I know thelll, I oame to the conclusion long ago that i twould be best for France, Algeria, and tho w e s t ~ r n world tha.t France reMinin Algeria and that Algerians remain F r e ~ h .

    Aa for the fighting which continues in Algeria, people forget that it isthe rebels who started i t with an attempted indiscriminate I18Bsacre ot theEuropean population of Philippe.vUl in NoWDiber 1954; that in a war, no

    Dr. Milan VomackaKarasova Street. JZAOlill'B I I I , YugoslaviaDear Dr. Vomaoka.:

    Thank you for your l e t te r of July 10 , 1961 which wasfOl'"Warded to me by Commemary. I am atraid there is veryl i t t le I can do to help you, since MY influence with theKennedy Administration is nil .

    However, i f you would enter into correspondence withMr. William F. Buckley, Jr . , editor of the National Review,150 Bast 35th St New Yorx 16, N.Y., the only popular Rightwing magazine in the country, he may be able to print yourarticles and political commentaries.

    Of course, you must realize that a considerable body ofanti-Leftist political writing has already been ~ l b l i s h e d inthis country. However, most of i t is ignored or discreditedby the liberal press. and therefore the American publicremains virtually uninformed.

    I,binc'erely yours,
