New York — Twenty American
Jews have returned from two
weeks in the Nicaraguan war-
zone on the Honduran border. The
delegation, called a "Jewish Wit-
ness for Peace" was initiated by
New Jewish Agenda- in coopera-
tion with Witness for Peace.
Celebrating Chanukah in the
border towns, the group demon-
strated their support for the
Nicaraguan people by assisting
the communities in work projects
and documenting the violence
perpetrated by the U.S. backed
Contras.
Robert Rosenberg, a partici-
pant in the delegation, and a
member of the NJA National
Steering Committee said, "This
project was significant because it
gave us an opportunity as Jews
who have experienced oppression,
to show support for the Nicara-
guan people who now suffer from
aggression encouraged by our
own government. At first we felt
fearful about the dangers of being
in the war-zone, but then when we
met the people we felt the moral
importance of exposing ourselves
to the same danger as they ex-
perience every day."
The delegation traveled to the
Chinendega Province in the
northwest corner of the country,
bordering Honduras. In Somatilla
they helped the community resi-
dents repair their dirt-roads.
They also visited a nearby
cooperative farm and helped in
the harvest of sesame seeds. They
celebrated the first night of
Chanukah with members of the
Delegates of the Word, a Nicara-
guan Christian organization.,
Nicaraguan children lit the
Chanukah candles, and joined in
songs of peace. NJA members pre-
sented the residents of Somatilla
with a plaque engraved with the
word "Shalom."
In Managua, the delegation
met with government and opposi-
tion leaders as well as with re-
maining members of the Nicara-
guan. Jewish community. They
met with Herty Lewites, the
minister of tourism, and Michelle
Najlis, a well-known Nicaraguan
poet. Rolando Najlis and his wife
joined the group for a Shabbat
dinner and, according to Rosen-
berg, told the group that this had
been the most meaningful Jewish
experience for him in many years.
He thanked the group on behalf of
the Nicaraguan people.
On Dec. 13, the group partici-
pated in a weekly vigil held by the
North American community out-
side of the U.S. Embassy. Follow-
ing a meeting with Embassy offi-
cials, the delegation said kaddish,
the traditional Jewish mourning
prayer, at the Jewish section of
the Nicaraguan cemetary.
Rosenberg directed a video crew
which recorded the two-week
event. A half-hour video
documentary entitled "Crossing
Borders" will be produced. Rosen-
berg said that the video-film will
be used in educational forums in
the Jewish community, which
will be organized by the partici-
pants in the delegation.
Suspect in soldier's rape
Tel Aviv (JTA) — A 21-year-old
Bedouin soldier, absent without
leave from his army unit since
November, has been taken into
custody as a suspect in the rape
murder of Hadass Kedmi, a 20-
year-old woman soldier who dis-
appeared while hitch-hiking in
the Haifa area more than a month
ago.
Police said they are holding
Radwan Sweitat, who lives in a
Bedouin- encampment near
Usafiya village on Mt. Carmel, on
the baSis of evidence that he was
involved in the murder or at least
had knowledge of it.
Sweitat has been AWOL since
Nov. 29, the day Kedmi was last
seen on a highway trying to get a
ride toward her home in Kibbutz
Masaryk on Haifa Bay.
Her remains were discovered 12
days later in a wooded area on Mt.
Carmel. The pathologist's report
indicated she was repeatedly
raped by more than one man be-
fore she was murdered.
Sweitat has been remanded in
custody for 10 days. Four other
Bedouins from the Mt. Carmel
area, arrested earlier in connec-
tion with the case, were released.
Police said they had been de-
tained while their car was in-
spected to determine whether it
was used to .kidnap Kedmi. A
Haifa magistrate ordered them
freed for lack of evidence.
In a related development, the
Soldiers Welfare Committee an-
nounced that it will erect 150
lighted shelters at road junctions
and other sites along the country's
highways where soldiers congre-
gate to hitch rides.
The project, which will cost
about $500,000, is a security
measure. Hitch-hiking sites have
been a favorite target of ter-
rorists. The shelters will be
enclosed by plastic and will be
lighted by solar-powered bat-
teries where no facilities exist for
plugging into the electric power
system.
The army, meanwhile, has
launched a campaign to discour-
age soldiers, particularly women,
from taking rides in unknown
civilian cars to and from their
bases.
Tourist bus
pelted on WB
Jerusalem (JTA) — An. Israeli
tourist bus was pelted with rocks
on the West Bank last Thursday
injuring two passengers and the
driver. The incident occurred as
the bus passed through Halhoul,
just north of Hebron. Security
forces arrested several suspects
and shut down shops on the street
where the rock-throwing oc-
curred.
The injured passengers and
driver were hospitalized for
treatment and released. The na-
tionality of the tourists was not
disclosed.
