The American Jewish community has been playing an actiye part in the celebration of the
Bicentennial of'the United States. The last year has heeh used in bringing to the attention of
Jews and non-Jews alike' the history of American Jewry-as well as the rich contributions
jews have made to American life. -_"'-,
While Jews have had a rqle in every epoch of our nation's history, most 4ews cannot trace
their ancestry in the U.S. back to the American Revolution. However,-Jews do have a
spiritual affinity with the spirit of the Revolution, especially its message of dignity and
freedom.
There has of course been prejudice and discrimination in the U.S. But as one Jewish
leader said repently, in no country in the diaspora have Jews been more at home and more
part of the country. (
The .'one event of the Bicentennial celebration that should have the most meaning to
American Jews is the recent opening of Ellis Island in New Yorkas a landmark. It is safe to'
say that the majority of American Jews either personally immigrated through its huge
reception hail or are the descendents of people who came to the U.S. via that Island!       '"
The persons who came through Ellis Island feared that they might be rejected for some
health-reason. But they had the hope of a new and better homeland which, despite poverty
and enormous struggling, was realized.

WASHINGTON - A
Senate Foreign Relations
subcommittee's hearing on
Arab-Israeli problems was
particularly   notable   for
revealing a particular
instance of The Washington
Post's methodology in its
critical campaign against ~
Israeli policy and the secret
liaison it had with the State
Department in seeking to
elevate PLO chief Yasir
Arafat to respectability as a
. "moderate."
Under   a   three-column,
two-line head May 20, The
Post reported "Recent*
Senate Visitors Call Arabs
Flexible, Israel Rigid." In
its story, The Post said those
Senators "described Arab
leaders as relatively flexible
on crucial points of -an
eventual Nagreetnent,
including the right of Israel
to exist, but most of the
Senators described Israeli
leaders as intransigent."
Checking,. The Post's
account, the Jewish-
Telegraphic Agency was told _
by aides of six of the seven
Senators' in the hearing that
the ' account -was
exaggerated, - distorted,
particularized . or an
inadequate summation of
the proceedings. These were
aides to Senators George S.
McGovern.  (D.SD).    the
