Jewish group hears Jackson's promises
By United Press International
FRAMINGHAM, Mass. — Jesse Jackson made an emotional fence-menting appearance before a Jewish group yesterday, promising to refrain from ethnic slurs against Jews but standing his ground on Palestinian rights.
"Let us all now move to reject divisions, reject hatred and promote dialogue," Jackson told the Bay State B'NaiB'Rith.
Many members of the audience and panel who asked Jackson critical questions came away less than fully credited Jackson's meeting with them.
Jackson, a black civil rights leader seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, later addressed about 600 Arab-Americans at the St. George's Orthodox Cathedral in nearby Worcester, Mass. He preached "dialogue and reconciliation" before both audiences.
Jackson's address to the 1,000 people attending the B'Nai B'Rith forum was interrupted at the outset by a young man who shouted: "You are an
anti-Semite yourself! You are a Jew
hater!"
As members of the audience shouted him down, the bearded man was removed from the Walsh Middle School auditorium. About 20 followers of the extremist Jewish Defense League and a group called "Jews Against Jackson" demonstrated outside.
standing silently in the back of the auditorium were about 20 Black Muslims, dressed in the traditional black suits and red bow ties.
Jackson apologized in a New Hampshire synagogue Feb. 26 for his comment a month earlier calling, " Jews" and New York City "Hymietown."
"Forces outside both the black and Jewish communities have targeted an area of sensitivity and misapprehension and infiltration," Jackson said.
He was questioned about that comment, his advocacy of recognition of the Palestine Liberation Organization, $200,000 in Arab League contributions to Operation PUSH, the civil rights organization he founded, and other reported statements about Jews and the Middle East.
