OP-ED
AIDS
Continued from Page 4
an unnatural set and an affront
to God's law. No hermeneutic
perversion by modern-day schol-
ars can escape this clear indict-
ment. No tendentious argument
can explain away this Biblical
prohibition on some vague no-
tion of changing morality or
changing times. The law is abso-
lute and expressed with corus-
cating clarity.
The homosexual act, however,
is distinct from the state of
homosexuality. The former, an
act of free will, is forbidden by
the Torah. The latter is often
beyond an individual's control.
.Judaism, an exceedingly corn-
passionate religion, has the
greatest sympathy for the
homosexual himself, and sup-
ports any attempt to help him
overcome his sexual deviance, or
if that is impossible, to teach
him the merits of restraint.
What Jews, as well as all
moral persons of every faith,
most object to is societal
legitimization of homosexuality.
Rabbi J. David Bleich, a pre-
mier, modern halachic expert,
cites one commentary which
points out that "the homosexual
conduct of Sodom was punished
with much more severity than
the homosexuality rampant in
other societies ... because in
Sodom, homosexuality was
ritualized."
AIDS may well be leading us
to reassess modern attitudes
towards homosexuality. Al-
though it remains a dreadful
disease which we must labor to
defeat with all resources of med-
ical science, it may remind us of
what the quasi-mythic figure of
Nahum Ish-Gamzu was pur-
ported by the Talmud to have
said — that from all worldly
evil, some element of good may
yet one day emerge.
The fear of AIDS is already
generating a moral backlash of
anti-homosexual bias, and
though this may be unfortunate
for the individual affected by it,
it will lead to a necessary and
salutory delegitimization of
homosexuality that in the long
run will 'help eliminate' the dis-
ease.
Two Senators
Warn Against
Saudi Arms Sale
Washington .(JTA) — Two
leading Senators, both of them
expected to seek their party's
nomination for the Presidency
in 1988, last Sunday warned
President Reagan against an ex-
pected proposal to sell missiles
to Saudi Arabia.
The warning by Senate Ma-
jority Leader Robert Dole
(R.Kan.) and Sen. Gary Hart (D.
Colo.) was made before the near-
ly 3,000 persons, attending the
United Jewish Appeal's Fifth
National Young Leadership
Conference at a dimier at the
Washington Sheraton.
The 'Administration is ex-
pected to submit to Congress a
proposal to sell the Saudi $300
million in missiles.
