Israeli Court
OKs Showing

Jerusalem (JTA) — The
High Court of Justice ruled
last week that the controver-
sial 1988 film The Last Temp-
tation of Christ may be shown
in Israel.
The court thereby reversed
the government censor, who
banned the film from Israeli
screens on grounds that it
was offensive to Christians.

The Last Temptation of
Christ, a Universal Pictures

film, was directed by Martin
Scorsese and based on a novel
by the late Greek writer
Nikos Kazantzakis.
By depicting the "human
side" of Jesus, including his
sexuality, the film offended
some Christians, though it
was praised by others.
The High Court decided
after seeing the film that on-
ly "an extreme, brutal and
deep insult can justify a viola-
tion of the freedom of expres-
sion."

Hurt In
Bus Attacks

Tel Aviv (JTA) — The Egg-
ed bus cooperative reported
last week that 337 people
have been hurt in 3,136 at-
tacks on its passenger buses
since the Palestinian uprising
began in the administered
territories 18 months ago.
But there have been no
fatalities. Egged said 42 of its
buses were damaged.
Bus windows have been
reinforced with wire mesh to
decrease the possibility of in-
jury from flying objects.
Egged, which predates the
state by many years, provides
interurban and local bus ser-
vices throughout Israel, ex-
cept in the Tel Aviv area,
where the Dan bus
cooperative holds the
franchise.

15 In France
Awarded Medal

Paris (JTA) — Three
Catholic priests and a Protes-
tant minister were among 15
French recipients of Yad
Vashem's "Righteous Among
Nations" medal.
The Yad Vashem Founda-
tion in Jerusalem
perpetuates the memory of
Jews who died in the
Holocaust and the memory of
non-Jews who risked their
lives to save Jews.
One of the recipients, the
late Protestant minister Marc
Boegnerwas, was the first
French clergyman to publicly
protest the racial laws.
