Israel indicts 25 suspects
as iiart of Jewish terror group
Jerusalem (JTA)
Twenty-five suspected
members of a Jewish ter-
rorist underground on the
West Bank were formally
charged Wednesday with a
wide range of criminal of-
fenses aimed against Arab
civilians. The names of the
suspects continued to be
withheld by court order but
most are believed to be resi-
dents of the West Bank with
close ties to the Gush
Emunim and other militant
settler groups.
The court deferred until
next Thursday a decision on
the prosecution request that
all of the suspects remain in
custody pending trial. The
court session at which the
charges were read was
closed.
Six of the suspects were
charged with murder and
attempted murder in con-
nection with the machine-
gun and grenade attack last
July on the Islamic College
in Hebron in which three
Arab students were killed
and 33 were wounded.
Nine suspects were
charged with attempted
murder, attempted sabot-
age, illegal possession of
arms and causing serious
bodily harm. All were
charged with membership
and activity in an illegal
terrorist organization.
The sabotage charges
stemmed from the planting
of powerful explosives in
five Arab-owned buses in
East Jerusalem, timed to
explode at the peak of rush
hour on April 27. The at-
tempt was foiled at the last
minute by security agents
acting on inside informa-
tion.
The bodily harm charges
were believed related to the
1980 car bombings that
maimed Mayor Bassam
Shaka of Nablus and Mayor
Karim Khallaf of Ramal-
lah. The accused were be-
lieved acting in retaliation
for the murder of six
yeshivah students by Arab
terrorists in Hebron a
month earlier.
Several suspects were
charged with planting
bombs in mosques in Heb-
ron and others were conspir-
ing to blow up the El Aksa
Mosque and the Dome of the
Rock,c- two of the holiest
shrines of Islam, on the
Temple Mount in East
Jerusalem.
The indictments marked
the close of one of the
longest and most sensitive
criminal investigations in
Israel's history that appar-
ently confirmed the long-
rumored existence of a
Jewish terrorist under-
ground among the settlers
in the occupied territories.
The settlers, numbering
30,000, are a major consti-
tuency of the ruling Likud-
led government.
On Tuesday, 300 settlers
and supporters of the Gush
emunim staged a rally out-
side Jerusalem police head-
quarters in solidarity with
the suspects. A message,
purported to have come
from one of the suspects,
was read at the rally. It re-
ferred to the detained per-
sons as "innocent Jews
whose lives are dedicated to
Zionist action" and Claimed
they were arrested "for ac-
tion they have taken for the
sake of the security of the
State of Israel and its citi-
zens."
The message complained
that the suspects were being
treated as "terrorists" and
urged their supporters to
"protest against the distor-
tion" and to convince the
authorities that whatever
actions were taken, albeit
illegal, were the result of
weakness and ineptitude on
the part of the government
in protecting Jewish
settlers against Arab vio-
lence. The message was
signed "Prisoner of Zion."
A Maariv reporter who
claimed he gained access to
the detainees in the
Jerusalem jail during visit-
ing hours, reported that
they told him they did not
consider their acts criminal.
They blamed former De-
fense Minister Ezer Weiz-
man for creating a situation
in which Jews had to defend
themselves.
They also charged that
under Weizman, the
policies of Sheli were im-
plemented in the ter-
ritories, Maariv reported.
Sheli is a small, now de-
funct, leftist faction.

Schaver-supported literary
fund aids the WSU Press
With the aid of the Morris
and Emma Schaver Publi-
cation Fund for Jewish
Studies, Wayne State Uni-
versity Press has been
encouraged to publish im-
portant Jewish works, with
an emphasis on translations
from the Yiddish.
The newest in the series is
Lead Pencil, the stories and
sketches by one-time
Jewish Daily Forward staff
writer Berl Botwinik.
There are 20 of the prime
Botwinik stories in this vol-
ume, and their translator,
Philip J. Klukoff, in an in-
troductory essay, pays trib-
ute to the contributions
Botwinik has made to an
understanding of Jewish
experiences in America,
which he presented as fic-
tion but which mirrored ac-
tual events in the develop-
ing American Jewish com-
munity.
The Botwinik book is
dedicated to his daughters
and their families.
While serving as a memo-
rial to the author of the
stories in Lead Pencil, it is
subtitled Bintel Brief. The
reason for the latter is that
Abraham Cahan, the
famous editor of the For-
ward, assigned to Botwinik
the duty of responding to
the letters that flooded the
Yiddish newspaper.
The introduction by
translator Philip J. Klukoff
is an •evaluative tribute to
author Berl Botwinik as
well as a commentary on the
period in American Jewish
history during which the
personality in his essay be-
came an important in-
terpreter of Jewish life in
the early years of this cen-
tury.
In the early years of his
settlement in New York,
Botwinik also was a painter
and an orator. As a painter,
he earned the title Berele
der Mahler — Berel the
Painter.
He was not only a fresco
painter, but was active in
unionizing workers and
helped create the Painters'
Union.
In Russia he participated
in revolutionary activities
and delivered speeches ex-
posing Czarism.

Jewish lobby
not just in DC,
Senator says
Washington (JTA) —
Sen. Rudy Boschwitz (R-
Minn.) stressed last week
that the strength of the
Jewish lobby was not due to
the representatives of the
Jewish organizations in
Washington but to the or-
ganized Jewish com-
munities throughout the
United States.
"It is the Jews of this
country who are willing to
be involved who are really
the strength of the Jewish
lobby, not the few that I
hear in Washington," Bos-
chwitz told the opening ses-
sion of the united Jewish
Appeal's national leader-
ship conference at the
Sheraton-Washington
hotel. The session was a
joint plenary of the UJA and
the Council of Jewish Fed-
eration honoring the 70th
anniversary of the Ameri-
can Jewish Joint Distribu-
tion Committee.
