Bill Introduced On
Violence Against Arabs
Jerusalem (JTA) — A bill
that would, in effect,
decriminalize acts of violence
by Jews against Arabs has
been introduced into the
Knesset- by ine right-wing
Knesset members. The
measure was given impetus
by the stiff punishment the
Israel Defense Force handed
out to more than 20 soldiers
who wilfully damaged private
property during a rampage
through a Palestinian refugee
camp in the West Bank.
Beautiful bracelets. Gorgeous rings and earrings.
Personal and perfect gifts to set a heart on fire.

The IDF chief of staff, Gen.
Dan Shomron, made clear the
army takes a serious view of
such breaches of discipline.
In addition to two-week jail
sentences, the men involved
were removed from a platoon
commander training pro-
gram, which will hurt their
chances for promotion.
Likud Knesset member
Pinhas Goldstein demanded
the IDF immediately revoke
that sanction. He was backed
at the Cabinet level by
Ministers Ariel Sharon of
Likud and Yosef Shapira of
the National Religious Party.
They maintained the jail
terms were sufficient
punishment.
In another development,
the newspaper Haaretz
reported that fewer than 400
of the more than 5,600 Arabs
arrested for alleged participa-
tion in the Palestinian upris-
ing have been tried in court.
According to official Israel
Defense Force statistics
quoted by the newspaper,
5,656 Palestinian residents of
the West Bank and Gaza
Strip were confined to
military detention facilities
as of November 22. Of that
number, only 377 have ap-
peared in court, were tried
and sentenced.
Another 2,064 remain con-
fined, pending completion of
legal procedures, and 1,625
are in detention awaiting
trial.
But 1,590 others will never
get a trial. They are ad-
ministrative detainees, who
may be held for up to six
months at the discretion of
the military authorities
without having charges
brought against them.
. Haaretz quoted the IDF as
reporting that 240 Palesti-
nians have been killed in
clashes with Israeli security
forces since the uprising
began on December 9, 1987 —
163 in the West Bank and 77
in the Gaza Strip.
Arab sources and foreign
media reports place Palesti-
nian fatalities at over 300.
In the same period, six
Israeli civilians and two
soldiers have been killed in
incidents linked to the
uprising.

Six Jews Win Seats
In House of Commons
Ottawa (JTA)
Six of the
eight Jewish candidates in
Canada's parliamentary elec-
tions won seats in the new
House of Commons.
Most of them bucked the
popular tide that returned
the Progressive Conservative
Party of incumbent Prime
Minister Brian Mulroney to
office with a comfortable ma-
jority of 170 seats in the
295-member house.
Big winners in Quebec were
38-year-old David Berger and
Sheila Finestone, who were
re-elected after serving four-
year terms in Parliament.
Both are members of John
Turner's Liberal Party, which
won 82 seats. Finestone de-
feated a Jewish Conservative
candidate, Robert Presser.
In Montreal, Jewish Con-
servative Jerry Weiner, a
member of the Mulroney
Cabinet, handily won re-
election. He has been min-
ister for multiculturalism.
Also re-elected were Robert
—
Kaplan, of Toronto, and Herb
Gray of Windsor, Ontario.
Former British Columbia
Premier David Barrett also
was re-elected to Parliament.
Finally, in the Outremont
district of Montreal, a mas-
sive turnout of Chasidic
voters secured victory for a
Conservative candidate, Jean-
Pierre Hogue, in what tradi-
tionally has been a Liberal
stronghold. Neither Hogue
nor his opponent is Jewish.

Ambassador to the United
States Meir Rosenne will
head the world-wide Israel
Bond Organization beginning
Jan. 1, 1989, according to
David B. Hermelin ofDetroit,
international chairman and
Julian B. Venezky of Peoria,
Ill., chairman of the board of
directors.
