ith two weeks to go
until George Bush's
inauguration, the
B'nai B'rith International's
Jewish Monthly has assembl-
ed a "kitchen cabinet" of 13
experts to offer advice to the
new president.
While the "cabinet's" sug-
gestions "are informed with a
Jewish perspective?' note the
magazine's editors in the
January issue, they spring
"not from narrow parochial
interests, but from the great
tradition of Judaism that
demands concern for all
peoples." The editors ask
Bush "not to favor [Jews'] in-
terests above others, but to
protect the rights of all the
diverse citizens whom you
now lead."
Among the advice offered to
Bush:
• No shelter for Nazi war
criminals.
Brooklyn District Attorney
Elizabeth Holtzman, the
former congresswoman who
wrote the federal law barring
Nazi war criminals from the
United States, advised:
1. Speed up the expulsion of
Nazis in America.
2. Make a "real commit-
ment" to bring Nazis to
justice.
3. Reveal the "whole story"
of U.S. "collaboration" with
Nazi war criminals.
• Spread democracy in the
Mideast.
Reuven Kimelman, a pro-
fessor of Near Eastern and
Judaic studies at Brandeis
University in Waltham,
Mass., said "the key to peace
in the Middle East lies in the
spread of democracy."
Kimelman asserted that no
war has erupted between
democracies since the end of
World War II. All wars, he
said, have been between "two
authoritarian/totalitarian
regimes or between a demo-
cracy and a non-democratic
state. As a rule, two demo-
cracies would seek to nego-
tiate a solution to a dispute
rather than risk the lives of
their citizens by going to
war."
• Keep church and state
separate.
Leonard Rubin, a New York
lawyer specializing in reli-
gious issues, "demand[ed]"
that Bush "reverse the
gradual Christianizing of our
national and local govern-
ments that has become evi-
dent in the past five to seven
years."

Dr. Reuven Kimelman

Among Rubin's urgings:
1. Cease the funding of all
religious schools that "is cur-
rently taking place, at times
by subterfuge."
2. Prevent federal funds
from reaching public schools
"that, in much of the South,
Southwest and Midwest, vio-
late the separation of church
and state by allowing Chris-
tian religious ceremonies and
visits from missionaries in
their schools?'
3. Assure that tax laws
treat religious organizations
equally.

Short Memories
In Israel

Apparently, the modus
operandi in any democratic
country after an election is to
close ranks, forget about all
the nasty stuff said during
the campaign and march
briskly into the sunset, with
heads high and national uni-
ty in tow.
This has been the guiding
principle in the United States
since George Bush's victory in
November. Even now, how
many of us — except, maybe
Mr. and Mrs. Dukakis — are
really bitter about Bush's
slanderous campaign? And it
seems to also be the guiding
principal in Israel, where an
editorial in Ma'ariv advised
that "all the members of the
[new coalition] government
must immediately put what
they said to one another dur-
ing the election campaign
behind them . . . and even
more, they must forget what
they really think of one
another."
Ma'ariv further advised
that participants in the new
government "forget that they
joined the government for the
purpose of saving the country
from the other party."
"The best proof of the pure
