Hoenlein: Delegitimization of Israel rising among US elite
by Haviv Rettig
In the coming years American Jewry will face the most significant delegitimization of
Israel it has ever encountered, Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice-chairman of the Conference
of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, told The Jerusalem Post on Monday.
This will occur, he believes, as the blueprint developed at the Durban Conference on
Racism in 2001 is implemented by anti-Israel activists in America.
Hoenlein is expected to deliver this message on Tuesday to the Herzliya Conference run
by the Institute for Policy and Strategy of the IDC Herzliya, in a speech titled "The Poisoning
of America," along with recommendations for action on the part of American Jews and Israel
to help fight what he sees as a growing threat to support for Israel in America.
"Right now we enjoy the broadest support for Israel than perhaps at any time since the
creation of the state, about 70 percent of the American people," he asserted.
Nevertheless, he insisted, "at the next Herzliya Conference we're going to be discussing
how this could happen, how this cancer was allowed to spread to the United States."
The process Hoenlein sees happening in America is similar to what occurred in Britain,
he said, "where the elite in society were turned against Israel. The fact that [Harvard and
University of Chicago professors] Walt and Mearsheimer couldn't publish [their study claiming
overwhelming influence of the 'Israel lobby' in Washington] in the United States, but had to go
to the London Review of Books," was telling, he believes.
Now however, Walt and Mearsheimer "have a major contract, and are anticipating sales
of one million copies."
In addition, "sales of [former US President Jimmy] Carter's book [Peace Not Apartheid]
have been topping best seller lists."
"What was once acceptable on the fringes is now acceptable in the mainstream," he
said, concluding that "at times, the American Jewish community has to [exercise] greater
assertiveness."

CONGRÈS JUIF MONDIAL : COMMENT ILS POMPENT LES CAISSES
3,8 millions de dollars dépensés sans
justificatifs
GENÈVE - La société d'audit PriceWaterhouseCoopers a découvert dans la comptabilité du
Congrès juif mondial 3,8 millions de dollars «non documentés». Un terme poli pour dire que de
l'argent s'est évaporé sans justificatifs

Début 2004, le Congrès juif mondial (CJM), dont le siège est à New York, ferme son bureau de
Genève du jour au lendemain, et licencie le personnel. La Fédération suisse des communautés
israélites, organisation faîtière des communautés juives de la Confédération, très choquée, demande
