Free?

Passover — Free from Bondage! No, God!
1979 — Free? No, God, Not Really.
They painted the Nazi Emblem on our wall,
The word "Jew," too.
Garbage was thrown on our store window.
Free, God? No!
1979, Israel — Free?
No, God, No!!
Terror on the peaceful beaches,
Terror on the buses,
Terror in the market places,
The wounded, the dead, the tears,
The anguish, the broken hearts!
Free, God? No!
Our hearts cry out, "When? God,
When will we be free?
And why? God, Why?"
Then we remember Your Words,
You are my chosen!"
Then we know, one day we will be free!
We wait!

M. HIRSCH GOLDBERG
Throughout the book are
offered examples of
Goldberg's Law: "If any-
thing can be misconstrued
about the Jews, it will be .. .
and has been." Indeed,
Goldberg examines the ex-
tent to which Jews have
been subject to misun-
derstandings by revealing a
gallery of Jews where you'd
least expect them. For
example:
• A Jew was co-inventor
of the Russian MIG
airplane;
• "Two-Gun" Cohen
helped build the Chinese
army under Chaing Kai-
shek;
• A Jew was known as

bally," says M. Hirsch
Goldberg, author of the
newly published "Just Be-
cause They're Jewish"
(Stein and Day).
Goldberg, who is also
author of "The Jewish Con-
nection," was in Detroit re-
cently as part of a nation-
wide tour for his new book
(See review, Page 4).
To clear up misun-
derstandings and shatter
many of the stereotypes
held about Jews, Goldberg
covers a diverse range of
subjects in "Just Because
They're Jewish." He takes
on misconceptions about
the Jewish people, the
Jewish religion and errone-
ous portrayals of Jews in
literature and the media —
including the Jewish
Mother.
He discusses what led
to anti-Semitism, the real
meaning of such Biblical
phrases as "an eye for an
eye," the concept of the
Jews as the Chosen
People, and takes a new
look at whether the Jews
fought back during the
Holocaust.

Baltimore Passes
Anti-Boycott Law
NEW YORK — The,
American Jewish Congress
has hailed the Baltimore
City Council for enacting a
Yaw to bar contractors who
participate in the Arab
boycott from doing business
with the city.
Last August New York
City passed a similar bill.
In London the exclusion
of Bank Rothschild of
Zurich from an interna-
tional $33 million loan for
Algeria earlier this year
was not due to pressure
from the Algerians them-
selves but from Jordanians
and Kuwaiti members of
the loan syndicate.
Neither the Algerian
National Bank nor a pri-
vate Saudi Arabian bank
had objected to the inclu-
sion of the Jewish-owned
Rothschild bank, which
is on the blacklist of the
central Arab boycott
office. -
However, Kuwaiti and
Jordanian banks, sensitive
to Palestinian influence in
their own countries, forced
the issue.

the "father of ballet";
• The "S" on Superman's
uniform stands for the last
names of his Jewish inven-
tors;
• A Brooklyn-born Jew
became a world-renowned
bullfighter.
Goldberg points out
that it is important these
days for Jews to know
the many myths, miscon-
ceptions and distortions
that have been made and
continue to be made
about the Jewish people.
"The Holocaust was the
culmination of centuries of
these myths and fallacies,"
says Goldberg. "Many of
these falsehoods are once
again on the rise. We as
Jews must know the basis
for these untruths and how
to combat them with the
truth.
"While hard-nosed bigots
may not be swayed by facts,

Canada to Oust
War Criminals
TORONTO (JTA) — A
Canadian MP has intro-
duced a private member's
bill into Parliament\ that
would deprive a Canadian
of citizenship if convicted of
having been a war criminal.
Under Bill C-215 pre-
sented by Robert Kaplan, a
citizen would be considered
a war criminal if he or she
committed a "grave breach"
of the 1949 Geneva Conven-
tion. "Grave breaches"
mean willful killing, tor-
ture or inhuman treatment,
including biological exper-
iments and willfully caus-
ing great suffering or seri-
ous injury to body or health.
prevented from following
the bigots by being shown
the correct information. Be-
sides, Jews really have no
choice. Silence has never
been the answer."
"Just Because They're
Jewish" sets the record
straight for the Jewish
people, shattering old
myths and presenting little
known or consistently ig-
nored facts. To do so,
Goldberg draws on years of
collecting unusual facts an
researching Jewish history.
He is the author of nearly
500 columns and articles for
newspapers and magazines.
