under and gave in to Arab
pressure, what can you ex-
pect from the Africans?" he
asked. Harari recalled that in
Madagascar the farmers he
worked with assumed he
would stay on despite the
breaking of relations with Is-
rael. "This was a line decided
upon by a few people in the
government, not by the peo-
ple of Madagascar," he con-
cluded.
In the case of Haiti — ac-
cording to what the Israelis
say — friendliness towards
the Jewish state extends to
the government as well. Haiti
has a resident community of
some 5,000 Arabs — several
of the major art galleries
where the famous Haitian
primitives are sold are Arab-
owned — and relations with
the Arab states, but after the
massacre of Israeli athletes
at the 1972 Olympic Games,
Haiti issued a set of com-
memorative stamps in tribute
to the fallen Israelis. Accord-
ing to reports, it was this
display of sympathy which
caused threats of violence to
he made against the Haitian
team at the recent World
Soccer Championship matches
also held in West Germany.
Whether or not the Pal-
estine Liberation Organization
really did threaten the black
players, the fact that this
story was circulating may in-
dicate that at least in the
case of Haiti and Israel a line
quoted by David Harari from
French author .Romain Ro-
land may apply: "La con-
aissance est la cle de la
sympathie" — knowing us is
liking us.

Hashana it is customary to

you be inscribed for a good
year." The wish: "May you
be inscribed" refers to the
"Book of Life" which, ac-
cording to the Talmud, is
opened on Rosh Hashana.
The "Book of Life" is sup-
posed to be a heavenly book
in which the names of right-
eous are inscribed, the En-
cyclopedia Judaica says.
The expression "Book of
Life" appears only once in
the Bible, in Psalms 69:29
(28): "Let them be blotted
out of the book of the living;
let them not be enrolled
among the righteous," but a
close parallel is found in
Isaiah 4:3 which speaks of
a list of those "written"
(meaning "destined") f o r
life in Jerusalem.
The erasure of a sinner's
name from such a register is
equivalent to death. For ex-
ample, when Moses pleads:
"Yet now, if Thou wilt for-
give their sin; and if not,
blot me, I pray Thee, out of
Thy book which Thou has
written. And the Lord said
