Goldstein, president of the 'Amer-
ican Friends of the Hebrew
University, called it "an act of
desperate and horrible criminal-
ism that endangered the lives of
innocent students and civilians."
Sam Rothberg, chairman of the
university's board of governors,
said he "hoped the international
community and especiallYthe aca-
demic centers throughout the
world" would join him in condemn-
ing the act.
Goldstein, a former attorney gen-
eral of New York State, said
- What is particularly shocking in
this situation is the. fact that the
Hebrew University, which is fa-
mous for its nonsectarian char-
acter. has opened its gates to
students of all nationalities, races
and religions in its effort to pro-
mote peaceful relations among all
people. especially between Jews
and Arabs."
