His sister Shulamit Katznelson, a University of Michigan Ph.D., was a pioneer in the establishment of ulpanim for the integration of new settlers to Israel. Tamir and Katznelson are unforgettable names. Hate-Provoking: NBC on TV, Free Press While "Jews ARE News — Always," there were a few days of, respite. Many already believed that perhaps the media, in all their classifica- tions, will now turn to enlightening traders and listeners on the basic issues affecting this nation, with an emphasis on fact and a shun- ning of fiction. But the menace of hate-spreading oc- casionally crops out in a crav- ing for sensationalism. It did in the last few days. An Anti-Defamation League criticism properly calls to task the producers of the televised NBC program in which Israel and Israelis ■•■■••■•■■■1 emerge in a very bad light. It is the immensity of the half- truths of that program and the failure to adhere to facts, it is the one-sidedness of the theme as NBC portrayed it that was awful. Hopefully, the ADL protest will be heard and read. The Detroit Free Press series that attempted to "ex- pose" prejudice against Arabs was much worse. The writer was in the digging business, drawing upon stories like the Los Angeles murder of an Arab and the claim that the responsibility lay with the Jewish Defense League — which denied it — and equating the murder of Leon Klinghoffer with the still un- proven L.A. accusation. Perhaps it was the feud- among Arabs themselves that can be traced to the L.A. murder? The entire Free Press series was so smeared with all-too- often aims at prejudicing good relations with Jews, that it was appalling! Would that Arabs themselves had registered the critical regrets over the Free Press articles. They not only failed to introduce factual needs for establishing the best relations among all citizens, it helped to fan suspi- cion bordering on hatred. The series was not to the credit of the best in journalism. NEWS 1111.= ■ 11.• ■ 1111 Alabama Jews Upset By Governor's Quip WE'RE WINNERS!

(N.E. corner of Northwestern) in the Franklin Savings Center. Mon.-Sat. 10 till 5:45. Thurs. till 8 - 45. 40 FRIDAY, JULY 10, 1987 New York (JTA) — Although Alabama Gov. Guy Hunt said he jokes about it with his Jewish friends, leaders of Alabama's Jewish communi- ty said they found little humor in the Governor's remark at a local peach festival last week that "I never tried to Jew" a peach farmer over the price of his fruit. Immediately following the remark, a reporter asked Hunt if some Jews might be -offended. Hunt replied, "I joke about that with my Jewish friends all the time." "He stuck his foot in his mouth and then he kept chewing on it," said Rabbi David Nesson of Congrega- tion Agadath Israel in Mon- tgomery, Ala. Nesson was also referring to Hunt's apology, which many found as offensive as his original remark. In it, Hunt said, "I have studied history and have great respect and regard for the business success of the Jewish people." He added that "I was raised and taught and believe the people of Israel to be God's chosen and special people." In addition to protests from the Jewish community, the remarks have drawn scrutiny from the press on Hunt's background. Elected in November 1986, Hunt is the first Republican Governor in Alabama in 112 years. Although he was the dark horse candidate, his cam- paign got a much-needed boost from an illegal vote crossing-over scandal in the Democratic primary which discredited the Democratic candidate, former Alabama Lt. Gov. Bill Baxley. Hunt comes from the tiny northern Alabama town of Holly Pond, where he was a farmer and a fundamentalist lay preacher in a Baptist church where he continues to preach.
