Hillel said it for all time and for all peoples: "If I am not for myself. who will be for me? But if I am only for myself. what am I?" And Jews know that Hllel did not speak. then or now. for Jews alone. It is not the Jewish lobby that voted arms for Israels selfdefense or for freer Soviet emigration. It is the vast majority of Congress that acted in the best traditions of American compassion and enlightened selfinterest. American Jews make no apology for tryIng to make effective use of our democratic processes or trying to invoke our nations best instincts.
