8. AMERICAN-JEWISH OBJECTIONS TO POSSIBLE BUSH CANDIDATE FOR U.N.
American-Jewish leaders are urging President Bush not to name Rita Hauser
American Ambassador to the United Nations, in view of Hauser's pro-Arab
positions. A letter from the Zionist Organization of America to the
President details some aspects of the Hauser record, including the
following:
* In June 1994, she attacked Congress for insisting that Arafat
comply
with his Oslo obligations. In 1992, after then-Prime Minister Yitzchak
Rabin deported 400 Hamas terrorist leaders, Hauser publicly declared that
"the U.S. must push for return of all deportees."
* In 1988 she attacked the Republican Party platform - which was
widely
considered pro-Israel - for being "negative" and "hostile to accommodation
and compromise." That same year, five years before Oslo, Hauser and
others
met with Arafat in Sweden and reported that he was a "moderate."
* She lavished praise on the intifada of the late 1980's, noting the
Palestinian "willingness to sacrifice," their restraint in using lethal
weapons, and more. She similarly had praise for the late Syrian dictator
Hafez Assad. In 1989, she said that the fact that "Arab-Americans are
learning to use both clout and money" is "basically for the good, because
it creates a better balance."
