WASHINGTON (WNS)-
Five Presidential candidates
or their representatives appeared before the 21st annual policy conference of the
American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC)
May 12 and pledged their
support for Israel's security,
"We all love .Israel and
AIPAC," said Ray Cline, a
former State Department
and CIA official, who represented George Bush.
Also appearing were Independent John Anderson (R.
111.); Vice President Walter
Mondale for President Carter; Sen Edward Kennedy
(D. Mass.) and William
Casey for Ronald jReagan.
. .Mondale stressed that
"the one crucial difference"
between Carter and the
other candidates is "not on
promises but in offering performance." He said Carter
should be "judged on the record" which Mondale said
was an "unprecedented performance."
He noted that the United
States has provided Israel
with $22 billion during the 32
years, half of which was allocated by the Carter Administration. "Those who criticize" Carter, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Premier Menachem
Begin should "turn their
criticism on the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. That's
the real target from criticism in the Middle East,"
Mondale stressed. He reiterated that the Carter
Administration is for an
undivided Jerusalem.
Anderson drew heavy applause when he said that "as
President I would recognize
Jerusalem as the capital of
Israel and move our Embassy." When the applause
subsided, he said he had not
finished his sentence and
added that he would move
the Embassy to Jerusalem
"at the conclusion of the
peace-making process."
Responding to questions
on his sponsorship of amendments to the Constitution
that would establish a Christian America, Anderson reit-
Annual Meeting To Salute Center's Past, Present, Future
erated that it was an "error"
and that he has "demonstrated my fidelity to separation of church and state
since 1971."
i
Kennedy scored the Carter
Administration's record on
Israel, pointing to the 1977
Soviet-U.S. agreement,
weapons to Saudi Arabia,
U.S. ambassadors meeting
with the Palestine Liberation Organization, and the
U.S. vote for the anti-Israel
resolution in the United Nations Security Coucil March
l that was later repudiated
by Carter.
He reiterated that the
United States should not
"superimpose" its will on
the issue of Israeli settlements on the West Bank but
allow it "to be worked out between Israel and Egypt and
the other states." He said it
was a question of security.
On Jerusalem. Kennedy
said "Israel has made a convincing case of sovereignty"
but that "moving of our Embassy has to be worked out
with the people in the area."
He said he believes the issue
