The Washington correspondent of a major Dutch newspaper has accused the “pro-Israel lobby” in the United States of exploiting the television film, “Holocaust.” Eric Boogerman, writing in the daily “NRC Handelsblad,” said “the Jewish lobby in the U.S. attempts to exploit the emotions aroused in America by showing a TV film on the murder of European Jews in order to delay the planned sale by the Carter Administration of advanced jet planes to Saudi Arabia. The pro-Israel lobby has inundated Congress with copies of the novel ‘Holocaust’ by Gerald Green. The Jewish lobby alleges that there is a connection between the Nazi murders and Israel’s security.”
