12 THE WISCONSIN JEWISH CHRONICLE March 15. 1974 Mew Aini'll'D-SainraDDSQirD Hsisedl on Dirndl nfeiremice "The New Anti-Semitism," as revealed in a book to be published next month (McGraw-Hill), written by Arnold Forster, general counsel and associate director, Defamation League of the national director, of the Anti-Defamation League of the B'nai B'rith, reports and analyzes the major differences between anti-Semitism today and the traditional kind. Announcement of the publication of the comprehensive study was made last week by Seymour Graubard, national chairman of the ADL. In the study, Forster and Epstein cite instances and trends in the "new Anti-Semitism," as background for their contention, as follows: The USSR, Western Europe and Latin America In a section of on the USSR, Western Europe and Latin America, the League points out that an integral part of the Soviet Union's pro-Arab political stance is its denunciation of Zionism in anti-Semitic terms and actions. When Israeli Ambassador Yosef Tekoah raised the issue in the Security Council, Soviet Ambassador Yakov A.

Malik warned him not to "stick your long nose into our Soviet garden" an echo of the Jewish caricatures in Nazi publications. In Latin America, the study states, an increasingly sophisticated Arab campaign to weaken the traditional support for Israel's right of existence includes a joining of extreme leftist and rightist anti-Semites who derive financial and other support from Arab embassies and missions, Arab League offices and Latin Americans of Arab descent. Jewish concern focuses, too, on the situation of the 550,000 Jews in Argentina, where scores of anti-Israel leftists are active in university, intellectual, labor and clerical circles. In Brazil, which has 160,000 Jewish citizens and has been a staunch friend of Israel, there are signs that "the Arab League propaganda is making inroads" as oil deals are made with Egypt, Algeria and Iraq. U.S.

Media, Clergy and Government Declaring that hostility and insensitivity to Jews and Jewish concerns were displayed by "respectable" elements in the American media, clergy and government before and since the October war, the study includes these examples: A segement of the press led by the Christian Science Monitor defended and justified the Arab attack and "swallowed whole" the Arabs' propaganda claim that they were merely attempting "to reclaim Arab territories." The widely published columnist team of Rowland Evans and Robert Novak, "consistently hostile" to Israel since 1967, "frequently echoed the main themes of pro-Arab propaganda" that Israel's war successes make further U.S. arms aid unnecessary, that Jewish HIGHER RATES 71LV INVESTMENT CERTIFI-' CAT! 4 years. $1,000 minimum yeids 7 7.90yeerfy.

Anti-Jewish diatribes were broadcast nationally by commentators Nicholas von Hoffman and Jeffrey St. John.

The American Friends Service Committee (Quakers), long admired for human-itarianism, published a pro-Arab document entitled "Search for Peace in the Middle East," which repressed facts and distorted history to reach a slanted and one-sided set of conclusions. Father Daniel Berrigan, the Jesuit priest famous for his anti-Vietnam war activities, in an address before the Association of Arab University Graduates, castigated Israel in New Left terms and engaged in what a prominent American rabbi described as "old-fashioned theological anti-Semitism." HEW granted $258,740 over three years to the African American Teachers Association, Brooklyn, N.Y., which consistently used "vile anti Jewish invectives" in its publications. In addition, WBAI (FM), New York, permitted an A.T.A. official to read an anti-Semitic poem over the air and the Federal Communications Commission ruled that the reading did not violate the station's obligation to serve the public interest. David K.

Billings III was reappointed chairman of New York City's Council Against Poverty, despite his statement over the radio during the tense Forest Hills housing dispute that Jews "control the school system. press and the mass media." The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, published a catalogue which included an article by a 16-year-old black high school girl who alleged that Jews are "behind every hurdle the Afro-American has yet to jump."

Mehdi, a leading Arab propagandist in America who seeks the destruction of Israel. "Jesus Christ Superstar," a widely popular film by noted producer director Norman Jewison and Universal Pictures, white washed Pontius Pilate and "perpetuated the lie that the Jews, collectively, killed Christ." Ernest Lehman's (Warner Bros.) film of "Portnoy's Complaint," whatever the redeeming literary or social value of Philip Roth's novel, was a "cheap, vulgar, smutty, anti-Jewish diatribe." Anti-Jewish stereotyping was also evident in such films as "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex," "Made for Each Other," "Such Good Friends," "Fritz The Cat" and "The Crunch Bird." "Negative images of Jews" have been purveyed in a spate of cartoon bocks "We Wish You a Kosher Christmas," "My Son, the Santa Claus," "Fanny Hillman: Memoirs of a Jewish Madam," "It's Fun to Be Jewish" and in a number of recordings "Have a Jewish Christmas," "The Jewish American Princess," "When You're in Love the Whole World Is Jewish," and in the monthly humor magazine The National Lampoon. Prominent writer Truman Capote in various media outlets, including NBC's Tonight Show, repeatedly charged that a "Jewish Mafia" conspires to "make or break writers" and "do in" non-Jewish ones, that the mass media are "90 percent Jewish oriented "and similarly staffed, and that Jews have "exclusive control" over American letters. The Radical Left The Radical Right Forster and Epstein, authors of the 1964 book "Danger On The Right," say in their current work that the radical left today "represents a danger to world Jewry at least equal to the danger on the right." They explain that the far left's involvement in the civil rights struggle and the Vietnam peace movement attracted broad based support particularly among "an entire generation of college students here and abroad."
