FIRMLY ROOTED IN ISRAEL, BRANCHING OUT IN NEW DIRECTIONS The Bright Idea: Give a Gift Subscription THE JEWISH NEWS AMERICAN ISRAEL CORPORATION 22 FRIDAY, MAY 5, 1989 I NEWS I Churches' Criticism Rebuked By Kollek ALL NAME BRANDS BLOOMFIELD HILLS 1700 N. WOODWARD BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MI 4 Jerusalem (JTA) — Jerusalem Mayor Teddy Kollek struck back last week at a number of prominent local Christian church leaders who had publicly criticized Israel the day before over its handling of the Palestinian uprising in the administered territories. "It seems that Islamic ter- rorism and threats by leaders of the intifada have forced the heads of the Christian chur- ches to give in to their dic- tates," said the mayor. "I suspect that this is the background to their criticism of the Israeli government." "I regret their pronounce- ment, even if they were under pressure," he said. Kollek was reacting to a statement published last week by the heads of the Greek Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Armenian, Syrian Orthodox and Anglican chur- ches in Jerusalem, protesting Israel's "excessive use of force" and "unprovoked harassment" against Palestinians. The first three denomina- tions are the largest among the Christian churches in the Holy Land. All told, an estimated 50,000 Christians, most of them Palestinians, live in East Jerusalem and the West Bank. The church leaders' state- ment called on the interna- tional community to work for "a just and speedy solution of the Palestinian problem." "In Jerusalem, on the West Bank and in Gaza, our people experience in their daily lives constant deprivation of their fundamental rights because of arbitrary actions deliberately all believers to all holy places — a veiled reference to the current restriction placed by the authorities on West Bank residents who wish to worship at the mosques on the Temple Mount. The ban was imposed after mass rioting there earlier this month, when rock-throwing spread to the Western Wall area. Kollek noted sourly in his response the church leaders' "silence and lack of condem- nation when terrorists kill Jews, when stones are thrown at worshipers at the Western Wall and when Jewish cemeteries in Jerusalem are desecrated." There have been frequent instances of desecration at the Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives. Court Releases Settler Suspected In Shooting Jerusalem (JTA) — West Bank setters scored a victory Monday when the Jerusalem District Court released on bail a Hebron settler suspected of having killed a 14-year-old Palestinian in response to a rock-throwing attack last week. Judge Dalia Koval decided to release Haim Ben-Lulu, 50, on bail, since "there was no concern that he would run away, there was no fear that he would try to obstruct legal procedures and he was unlikely to endanger the public's safety." Ben-Lulu left the courtroom to the cheers of his fellow set- tlers, after friends deposited the 25,000 shekel ($14,000) bail. Ben-Lulu, a building con- tractor who resides in Kiryat Arba, was arrested Saturday night on suspicion of having shot Nader Da'ane to death in downtown Hebron on Friday after Palestinians began throwing rocks at his car. In court Monday, Ben-Lulu convinced the judge that he was acting in self-defense. He told the court that he was forced to use his rifle only after he had been surrounded by dozens of Arab youths who threatened his life by throw- ing rocks at his car. The court released Ben- Lulu a day after Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin re- jected demands by right-wing Cabinet ministers to give set- tlers more leeway to use firearms when attacked with rocks. Israel Reports Drug Addiction Tel Aviv (JTA) — About 200,000 persons use drugs in Israel, 20,000 of whom are ad- dicted to hard drugs. Since 1982, cocaine use has increased from small quan- tities to a current annual amount of 15 tons, 10 percent of which the police succeeds in seizing, Dr. Asher Punch of Bar Ilan University said.
