Speaker. recent pronouncements on the Middle East by the Reverend Jesse Jackson and by former Texas Governor. John Connally. demonstrate that these two men. so different in other areas. share a common insensitivity to Israel and to recent Jewish history as well as a common ignorance of Middle East realities. It is clear that both of these men are mindful of economic considerations in their newly found discovery of the Middle East and the Palestinian refugee issue. Connally apparently aspires to be the candidate of "big oil" and Jesse Jackson admits that he wants to see Arab oil money flowing to U.S. civil rights organizations. like his own. Neither man says that he wishes to see Israel weakened or harmed. but the fact is that the policies of these men advocate would gravely damage Israels security and the interests of the United States.
