[net.politics] "Israeli-American Civil Liberties Union": pointer wanted

riddle@ut-sally.UUCP (Prentiss Riddle) (01/02/84)

Has anyone out there heard of an organization with a name roughly along the
lines of the "Israeli-American Civil Liberties Union"?  Any information you
can provide would be appreciated.  I am particularly interested in (a) an
address and (b) references to magazine or newspaper articles about them.

I first heard of this organization a few months back on one of NPR's news
programs.  It was founded in 1983 by a group of American Jews who wanted a
way to help Israel without expressing support for what they felt to be the
anti-democratic trends of some of Israel's political and military policies.
NPR did a report on the group's big kick-off bash in LA;  I assumed that I
would soon read or hear more, but I haven't noticed a word since.

Please reply by mail.  If I find anything and there is interest, I'll post it
later.  Thank you.
