lel Aviv (JTA) — Unrest in
the West Bank during which
border police and . Defense
Force soldiers fatally shot a
14-yearold Arab boy near
Nablus and two 22-year-old
Bir Zeit University students
a day earlier was discussed at
last Sunday's Cabinet meet-
ing. No details were made
public.
The Cabinet convened as a
Ministerial Defense Commit-
tee, the proceedings of which
are classified. A disagreement
was reported, however, be-
tween Defense Minister Yit-
zhak Rabin and Minister of
Commerce and Industry
Ariel Sharon. Sharon insisted
that the only way to counter
Arab rioting in the territory
was to increase Jewish settle-
ment there.
Rabin reportedly replied
that security could be im-
proved by settlement activity
around the perimeters of the
Arab populated centers.
Jewish settlements planted in
their midst only divert IDF
personnel to protect the set-
tlers, Rabin said.
A Cabinet communique is-
sued after the session said the
IDF would act to maintain
order in the West Bank and
ensure the continuation of
normal life.
The two 22-year-old stu-
dents at Bir Zeit University
were killed by Israeli soldiers
and border police in an at-
tempt to break up a riot in
which a border policeman and
an Israeli civilian were struck
by rocks. Eleven students
were injured.
Military sources said the
soldiers fired into the air and
then at the feet of the rioters
who continued to hurl stones
and bottles of gaspoline.
There were also riots in near-
by Ramallah, north of
Jerusalem. Local merchants
observed a full commercial
strike. Unrest has been
endemic at Bir Zeit. Distur-
bances escalated on Novem-
ber 29, the 39th anniversary
of the United Nations Gener-
al Assembly's decision to par-
tition Palestine into Jewish
and Arab states. They con-
tinued for several days.
In related developments,
violence flared anew in the
Gaza Strip and Jerusalem. A
17-year-old Palestinian youth
was wounded by Israeli
soldiers in the Gaza Strip
where mobs, inflamed by the
killings in the West Bank,
hurled stones at Israeli
vehicles, burned tires in the
middle of roads and otherwise
blocked traffic.
Three Jewish children and
an Israeli bus driver were in-
jured when Arabs smashed
the bus windshield in East
Jerusalem. Police fired tear
gas to break up a clash be-
tween about 100 leftist Arab
students and 50 Israeli
rightwing students on the
Hebrew University campus.
There were also minor in-
cidents Sunday involving
Arabs and Jews at Tel Aviv
University and Haifa
University.

Friday, December 12, 1986 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
New York (JTA) — Repre-
sentatives of farmers and
Jewish organizations have
joined forces to combat the
plight of American farmers
and the spread of anti-
Semitism in agrarian areas of
the country.
This nationwide effort was
announced at a meeting here
recently at the headquarters
of the Union of American.
Hebrew Congregations
(UAHC), the umbrella organ-
ization of Reform Judaism in
the U.S. and Canada.
The representatives an-
nounced the beginning of a
national petition drive to ob-
tain one million signatures
calling on Congress to declare
an immediate moratorium on
farm foreclosures, fair prices
for farm products and an
emergency aid program for
farm families forced into
bankruptcy, foreclosure, and
the most extreme conse-
quences of poverty.
The petition drive was
presented by Gertrude White,
national president of Wo-
men's American ORT, and
David Goldstein, executive
director of the Kansas City
(Missouri) Jewish Communi-
ty Relations Bureau, one of
the pioneer Jewish organiza-
tions working to help the
family farmer. The two
groups have been working
jointly since last April, when
Women's American ORT pre-
sented the Kansas City
JCRB with a $25,000 grant to
initiate a farm crisis project.
The distribution of the peti-
tions is being carried out by
Women's American ORT and
UAHC.
There are now 300 farm
families going under every
day, said Goldstein, over
100,000 farm families per
year, and he cited the accom-
panying increases in child and
spouse abuse, mental illness,
"and the hopelessness."
White, speaking for Wo-
men's American ORT and the
Women's American ORT-
JCRB Farm Crisis Project,
outlined the range of projects
considered for interaction be-
tween Jewish groups and
farmers, Christian clergy,
