prophecy and threatening the
nation's religious pluralism."
The "Temptation" furor has
brought "two demons out of
the woodwork," said Rabbi
James Rudin, national direc-
tor of interreligious affairs for
the American Jewish Com-
mittee. There is the old
demon of the Jew as Christ
killer and the new myth of
the Jew in control of all the
media — television, radio,
press and movies.
A statement by the
American Jewish Congress
noted that Falwell and
Hymers "know very well that
Universal Studios is a public-
ly held corporation, that its
executives who happen to be
Jewish are not 'Jewish
leaders' but businessmen."

The ultimate fate of "Temp-
tation" may be decided not at
demonstrations or in board
rooms, but by the exhibitors
who choose what movies will
play in their theaters.
Exhibitors are a nervous
lot, given to sniffing the wind
of public opinion, and from
their perspective the outlook
for the film is grim. Represen-
tative of the group is a
spokesman for the United Ar-
tists Theatres chain, which
controls 2,000 screens. "It's
not worth it for any theatre
chain to play a film like
"Ibmptation; that will offend
our religious customers. We're
open all year, and we don't
need to upset any communi-
ty over one offensive film,"
the spokesman said.
Practically overlooked in all
the excitement are the main
actors in "Temptation."
Willem Dafoe portrays Jesus,
Harvey Keitel is Judas and
Barbara Hershey has the role
of Mary Magdalene.

Israelis Approve
Help For Arabs

Jerusalem (JTA) — The
Knesset has taken a first step
toward rectifying an injustice
committed in the name of
security, nearly 40 years ago,
against Arab villagers in
Galilee.
At a preliminary hearing
on the eve of adjournment for
summer recess, the Israeli
parliament approved a
measure to rebuild the
villages of Ikrit and Birim
and give the former residents
or their descendants the op-
tion of returning to the
original sites and building
new homes.
It is unique in being the
first piece of legislation to ad-
dress an issue that politicians
have debated pro and con for
decades.
