NEW YORK, (JTA) - A
prolonged legal battle over
the Jewish National Fund's
refusal to fund projects in
the administered territories
is costing the organization
more than the price of planting an entire forest in Israel.
Since February, JNF has
been fighting a lawsuit filed
by a group called the Ad Hoc
Committee for Jewish Survival in Judea, Samaria, Gaza
and the Golan.
Last week, the committee
served JNF with a motion
for contempt of court.
It charged that JNF was
disobeying a court injunction
barring it from displaying,
in promotional and fund-
raising materials, maps of
Israel that include the administered territories, i,
The dispute over maps is 4
really a disagreement over
politics. JNF's U.S. branch

reclamation  projects   only .

The -Ad Hoc Committee
would like to see JNF change
that policy. In order to try to
force JNF to fund projects in
the administered territories,
it filed suit, claiming JNF
"misled and defrauded"
donors by concealing its
policy.
Although the majority of
the original charges in the
Ad Hoc Committee's lawsuit
were dismissed, New York
Supreme Court Judge Shirley Fingerhood did grant a
motion restFaining JNF
from Using maps of Israel
that imply the organization
is funding projects in the territories.      """"
JNF spokesman Stuart
Paskow said the organization has.been abiding by that
ruling. "All we use maps for
is to locate projects. Maps
were never used for fund
raising," he said.
But in the recent contempt
motion, the Ad Hoc Committee claims that when it wrote
to JNF requesting information, it was sent copies of
JNF brochures and JNF's
famous "blue boxes," or
pushkes.
These materials had the
prohibited maps on them,
thereby violating the court
injunction, the Ad Hoc Committee charges.

boycotting one-third of the
land of Israel and then produce fraudulent literature,"
said Michael Teplow, who is
co-chairman of the Ad Hoc
Committee, though not one
of the plaintiffs in the case.
Teplow also is president of
Tehiya USA, the American
affiliate of the right-wing
Israeli party.
The battle will continue
the first week of August,
when Judge Fingerhood returns from vacation. Both
sides have appeals pending:
JNF is appealing the injunction ahd the Ad Hoc Committee is appealing the dismissal of four of its original
charges.
No matter who comes out
on top in court, the real loser
in this case, Paskow says, is
the State of Israel.
"Funds that we would normally be transferring to Israel we are now using to pay
for attorneys;" Paskow said.
He said JNF legal costs had
exceeded $50,000, which is
"more than enough to build a
forest."
Changing the policy, however, would be far more
costly, Paskow said. The
"overwhelming majority" of
JNF's donors, he said, want
to keep their contributions
confined to projects within
the pre-1967 borders. A
change in that policy could
cost millions in donations.
